Mr. A WELL KNOWN HORSEMAN . We regret to record the death of Mr. William Grosvenor , Poplands Farm , Risbury , who died suddenly on Sunday at the age of 44 .. Grosvenor , who leaves a wife and five child- ren to mourn his loss , was well known over a wide area as an expert rider and trainer of horses . Early in life he went with Captain ( now Major ) Richard L. Heygate . to India as stud groom , and while there won many races . for his master . On his return to this coun- try he was for a time at Norton Hall , Worces tershire , and then started on his own as a farmer . He took part in many local race meetings with success . On one occasion he rode in the Grand National for the Earl of Coventry , and although his horse was not fast enough , he stayed that well known and extremely difficult course . In later years he only rode occasionally for friends in point to point meetings . He rode regularly to hounds in North Herefordshire . He was a very straight rider and unquestionably one of the best in this part of the country . He showed unusual ability in schooling horses and many valuable animals were entrusted to him by well known owners . He had been in failing health for about nine years and had to give up hunting two seasons ago . He was of a genial nature and always willing to do any- one a good turn . He was much respected in sporting circles and great regret . will be felt . at his early death . DILWYN DEATH .
