The Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale was recently very much in the public eye at Glasgow. He entered for the middle-weight competition, and was drawn in the first ties against J. A. Henderson,, a burly miner. from Shotts, and won a gruelling contest in the third round. He took heavy punishment to the accompaniment of cries of “Knock his nob off!” and the like. This. 20-year-old nobleman has already made a big name for himself in the world of sport. At Eton he engaged in the finals of the middle-iweights and at Oxford in the light-heavy class against Cambridge. In addition to his boxing accomplishments his lordship is an expert motor car driver, and he knows as much about the infinite variety of motor engines as most engineers do.
