Mayor as Caddy-Master
Mr Butler, Henley’s one-legged caddy-master mayor, who received Prince George at the ’world-famous regatta this year, is one of the most original figures in English municipal life. Young, jovial-faced, he works 14 hours a day. “My job at the golf club is to look after the caddies,” Mr Butjcr says, “and my position as mayor might bo embarrassing if our members were not exceedingly nice men. But they stroll up and say, ‘Two caddies, your worship,-’ and I am perfectly at home.” Although he lost a leg at Ypres he still plays quite a good game of golf, and can drive farther than the majority' of players.
