William Crawfurd Stirling-Stuart (Vanity Fair)

William Crawfurd Stirling-Stuart, set down by Spy in tweeds rather than silks, a sportsman of the paddock rather than a man who rode for hire. By the Edwardian years Vanity Fair's turf series had widened to include the owners and sportsmen who kept the game running as much as the jockeys who won its races. the country cut of the tweed, Spy's shorthand for a man more at home on an estate than in a weighing room. Not every figure at the rail wears silks.
