  • Spade' Guineas and Their Halves
    CATALOGUE OF THE ADVERTISEMENT IMITATIONS OF 'SPADE' GUINEAS AND THEIR HALVES R. N. P. HAWKINS INTRODUCTION COUNTERS for games of cards, &c., in past centuries have been of various designs, of which specific imitation of British coins has been confined chiefly to the shillings and sixpences of Anne and sixpences of Georges I and II (perhaps used to represent guineas and halves) and the guineas and half-guineas of George III. The imitations of these George III coins ignore his last ('military') type; they go as far as the design (known as fourth type on the guineas and third type on the half-guineas) involving a bold reverse feature of a crowned pointed shield called' spade' because of its resemblance to the then prevalent shape of earth-digging spades. Besides contemporary strikings for gaming, manufacture of these imitations of spade guineas and halves has continued intermittently for a further two and a half centuries up to recent decades and possibly it still continues. This is remarkable persistence for such an obsolete design, despite the various liberties that have been taken with the legends, &c. As to uses, there will have been a steady consumption of counters for gambling and non-gambling table-games, and reckoning of stakes in guineas still persists; also, the theatrical stage constantly needs imitation money of bygone times, particularly guineas. A large proportion of the more modern imitations carries advertising matter, not always commercial, that could just as easily have been applied without any trappings of George III coinage designs; indeed some advertisers employed both the spade guinea type and some quite different style of disc; there was a variety of prevalent styles from which to choose.

  • RHODANTHE the Phar Lap of the Australian Coursing World Published in Australiana - February 2018
    RHODANTHE The Phar Lap OF the AUStralIan COURSING World Published in Australiana - February 2018 n the 11th century, King Canute laid down his Forest Laws of England stating Iby decree that “All persons under the degree of a gentleman are prohibited from keeping a greyhound.” Joseph Banks owned the first greyhound to course Australian soil. A working dog, she brought down a small 8 1/2 lb (4 kg) male Kanguru on the 29 July 1770 on the Endeavour River, where Cook had laid up HMB Endeavour for repairs. This was the first of the species seen by the explorers “…my greyhound took him with ease tho the old ones were much to[o] nimble….”. His bitch, Lady, died a week from home on a stool in Banks’ cabin on the 4 July 1771, having spent nearly three years on board. It is believed that George Stubbs painted this kangaroo skin, later mounted in England, for Banks - an iconic Australian image acquired in 2013 by the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, after its export was blocked.1 1.

In offering a few remarks to the sporting public upon the Turf and the Racehorse, I deem it at least necessary to render them in as simple a manner as possible, inasmuch as they are offered to the community at large. Taking for granted that all the followers of turf pur- suits, or lovers of horseflesh, are not Walkers, Johnsons, or Sheridans, it becomes necessary to write in language which can be plainly understood, instead of indulging in that high-flowing, flowery style, which tends more to test the faculties and bewalder the reader than to enlighten him on the subject ; and substituting what may be termed a superfluity of very fine English for instruction, thereby disguising the absence of practical knowledge: in fine, endeavouring to " spin out a long yarn " on a subject, with the merits of which they are but slightly acquainted.

  • The Top Jockeys and Trainers, Often Working-Class in Origin, Enjoyed A
    6 Jockeys, trainers and the micro-world of the stable he top jockeys and trainers, often working-class in origin, enjoyed a Tmiddle-class income often equalling that of lawyers or doctors. To the public, jockeys were the object of either venom or veneration as they lost or won. Within racing’s social elite, trainers and jockeys were often looked down upon. As the Times racing correspondent in 1933 commented, ‘the very word “professional” arouses suspicion’.1 Significantly, while lists of breeders and owners in Ruff’s Guide or the Racing Calendar, like racing officials, attracted the honorific title ‘Mr’, trainers and jockeys received only surnames and initials. Yet ‘leading trainers’ occupied an ambiguous and socially higher position than pro- fessional jockeys. In separate lists, like lists of amateur jockeys, their names attracted the socially significant honorific, as when they were breeders or owners. Even top jockeys accepted this social seniority. Steve Donoghue, eight times champion jockey, addressed trainer Fred Darling as ‘Sir’ and spoke humbly to him.2 Such hierarchy was reflected in some major event trophies. For example, the 1933 Grand National trophy for the winning owner was worth £300. The trainer received one of £50 value, and the jockey one worth just £25. Jockeys The social status of jockeys was ambiguous. Some were paradigmatic examples of one of the key sporting myths, that of the ‘self-made man’, enjoying upward social and economic mobility, through talent, hard work and self-sacrifice. Yet jockeys could be despised as decidedly inferior: simply servants, hired to do a job, expected to be tactful, respectful and diplomatic.
