Excerpt from Racing Life of Lord George Cavendish Bentinck, M. P: And Other Reminiscences
IN May 1865 I returned to England, after passing nine years, almost without intermission, in the United States of America. Shortly after my arrival in London, I met an old friend who asked me to come and dine with him a day or two later at the Windham Club, in St James's Square. On repairing to that hospitable resort, I found that the only guest besides myself was the still living Mr James Weatherby. Natur ally I had much to ask him about the incidents connected with horse-racing which had happened since he and I last met, nine or ten years before. Among other questions, I inquired who was now the Dictator of the Turf. Since I last saw you, Mr Weatherby replied, there have been two or three Dictators, such as Sir Joseph Hawley and Admiral Rous but from the day when I first knew.
