LATE LORD DEWAR
HORSES FOR THE DERBY (British Oflicial Wireless.) • Rec. 10 a.in. RUGBY, April 14. Lord Dewar, the famous millionaire whisky distiller who died last week, apart from His business activities had a great interest in the turf. He owned many good horses, four of which were entered in this year’s Derby. These will not, however, be eligible. An old rule of the Jockev Club provided that horses nominated for the race by an owner who died before the rave should be void. This rulo was revised a year ago, an option being given to the trustees to decide whether the horses should run or not. The rule, however, is not retrospective. Lord Dewar was regarded as the most brilliant story teller and after-dinner speaker of the day. His epigrams, which have become known as Dewarisms, are quoted wherever English is spoken.
