Lord Airlie, another British sportsman of international repute, arrived today on the Majestic with Lady Airlie. The Airlies have come over for the polo games and the International races in which Epinard is the interesting foreign figure. They will be the guests of Maj. Frank White, manager of racing of the Laurel Park Stud Company. Major White is Lady Airlies uncle. Lord Airlie is the owner of Master Robert the famous steeplechaser that won the last Grand National at Aintree, Liverpool.
