Lady Ursula Grosvenor. eldest da ugh ter ot the Duke of Westminster, who i came of age recently, has announced : her engagement to J. R. Anthenjr. the famous steeplechase jockey, states u London correspondent. It has been am open secret tor some time that JUad? I rsula. when she came of age. would announce her engagement to the jockey. in whose company she has been seen on many racecourses during th > present- “ over-sticks '’ season. She is very popular in society, and is an extremely pretty, tall, fair girl, with a good figure, a fearless horsewoman and a first rate whip. She rides aetriili;, and loves outdoor sports of all lurid* Her future husband. Jack Anthony, is the best steeplechase jockey in the world, it is alleged, for he has won the Grand National no fewer than three times, and this year is engaged to rule Forewarned, the favourite, over the most difficult of all steeplechase course*. Jack Anthony is still a young man. and lias lived in the saddle all his life. Like, his father, a breeder of horse* and a rider to hounds, he tor many years rode as an amateur. Jn fact, he has been a professional jockey only during the lu.sfc two years. He comes of a sporting fam ily of twelve-—seven sons and fi-/> daughters—and started riding in hi 4 father s hunting stables and at local shows and race meting*. Another brother, Colonel W. S. Anthony, is the owner oi Clashing Arm% which Jack has five times ridden to victory. Ilia brother. Captain H. C. Anthonv, of tha Pembroke Yeomanry, was killed in France. The youngest brother is '.n Australia on an estate given him by th? Australian Government for services in the war. During the war he served in France with the Wilts Yeomanry, and was invalided home. Last year he topped the list of winning jockeys over the jumps with seventy-eight successes, thus equalling his brother Ivor, and there is no doubt that he would have eclipsed that record but tor the fact that" h,> met with an accident when riding Holdcroft. His favourite recreations are hunting and coursing. He is by \io means an indifferent lawn tennis play er. He won his first .steeplechase n 1906 ’ A ', hen he was sixteen, at Ludlow, w here he was first past the post in th > farmers’ Open Steeplechase. His brother Ivor is also a jockev. and another brother is a trainer. His three Gram Nationals wereGlenside 1911. AUv Sloper 1915. Troytown 1920. He is this year riding as we!! as ever, and was re oently four times first in succession. Ho has met with many accidents in his pursuit of the sport.
