Lord Derby has leased nis late Majesty King George's horses1 until the end of the racing year. The new King, however, has every intention nl continuing the Royal connection witn the Turf. ' • . Lord Derby made the following statement at Derby House, Stratford Place, a few days after the Kings death:—
"His Majesty the King was graciously pleased to give me an interview this morning, at which he confirmed an arrangement previously come to between General Tomkinson and me whereby I lease the late King's horses now in the possession of his present Majesty. "The procedure that will be adopted is Drecisely the same as that which I adopted when I leased his late Majesty s horses when he succeeded King Edward VII. They will remain at Egerton Lodge under Jarvis and they will be managed by Brigadier-General Tornkinson. They will b-j kept entirely apart from my own stable and will run quite separately. "Ferryman will be the jockey foxStanley House and for the leased horses, and in any case of the leased horses where Perryman cannot nclo the weight I intend to ask Fox to ride, though there will be no retainer on him, and therefore he would be perfectly free to accept any other engagement. This arrangement will continue till the end of 'the racing year. "His Majesty was good enough at the end of the interview to give me permission to state that he has every intention of continuing the Royal, connection with the Turf both as regards his racing stable and as regards the stud. Both will be subject to such alterations as his Majesty may after consideration find necessary and advisable, but the connection which has lasted now through so many generations in the Royal Family will be effectively maintained.".
