We regret also to record the death of Sir Theodore

Cook, the editor of the Field. He combined a very wide knowledge of sport with an enthusiasm for good art and good literature. The public has profited by this happy combination for many years. Sir Theodore's optimism brought him into some financial misfortunes, but his amazing gaiety in the face of adversity was a lesson in cheerfulness to the many friends whom he leaves behind.
