16446'British Equestrian Team Yo-yogi Village' Tokyo Japan. 23 September to 14 October 1964. 38pp. 8vo. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. In 'Note Book Made of paper Specially prepared in Japan'. On front cover: 'J. GROSE British Equestrian Team Yo-yogi Village Olympic Diary'. Begins on 23 September with flight from London Airport via Bombay. In Hong Kong he dines with 'Algie Lady O'Connor' at Flagstaff House. In the Olympic Village at Yoyogi on 26 September he discusses problems 'in our hut 448' before inspecting 'the Equestrian Centre Baji-Koen'. The main topic is the quarantine exercising area in Karuizawa' which the British French and Australian teams deem 'most unsatisfactory'. Other topics include: 'the arrival of the French horse plane'; an agreement that 'Bob Armstrong should live at stables'; 'the Cocktail Party for the British athletes at the Embassy'; 'the draw for Dressage & Grand Prix Jumping' 'I was unlucky enough to draw us number 1'; training; the stable manager and his staff 'softened up' with a bottle of whisky; the acquisition of tickets and press passes; various meetings. On 28 September Grose has 'a confrontation with MR NOMURA Secretary of the JEF Japanese Equestrian Federation & their titular head with the following result: 'Eventually JEF promised to let us know by noon tomorrow whether Australian & British horses could quarantine here & for how many days It became clear that it was NOT shortage of boxes that bothered them so much as favouring us both at the expense of other nations. In fact they went back on what we thought were the undertakings made yesterday. However the Australians took a tough line promised to inform the Press etc & were seeing the President of the J.O.C. Japanese Olympic Committee this evening. Nomura said Mr Du Bois had passed the quarantine site: I said we had always reserved the right to decide when we got here & saw the relative facilities & had been told we could gallop in quarantine etc etc'. The disagreements are not settled and on 2 October Grose writes: 'Then got urgent message to see Sandy Sandy Duncan. The Australians had issued an extremely rude Press release copy filed about the quarantine & try areas at K. Also heard the French had complained officially.' He finds the opening ceremony 'a fine spectacle with a vast crowd & v. well organised' but adds that 'Most of us did not find it moving as the various contingents did not know whether to be serious or not. A few marched well including our women. Some were unconsciously funny others waved to their friends or waved flags etc. The latter chiefly oriental or non-curtain.' The final entry 14 October is short and ends mid-sentence. At the rear are three pages recording the sale and purchase of tickets with names of parties and amounts paid. The final page of the volume carries 'Accounts' from 25 September to 24 October beginning with '3 Bottles Whisky' to bribe the stable manager and ending with 'Soda Water'. Loosely inserted are two telegrams to Grose in Tokyo from 'Ansell' in London 6 and 21 October 1964; calling cards of Keiji Nomura and J. G. Hasegawa; four Japanese receipts; a pencil autograph draft of a telegram from Grose regarding a disqualification. A final item is a carbon copy of an autograph letter from Grose to 'Jane' dated from Yoyogi Village 4 October 1964 which he describes as a 'situation report for Col Ansell BHS & BSJA' and in which he describes how the team had 'three problems before arrival of horses' followed by 'tedious negotiations' and problems with 'the exercising facilities' which have 'caused quite a stir & you may have read about it in the British Press. They were hopeless. .' 'British Equestrian Team | Yo-yogi Village' [Tokyo, Japan]. 23 September to 14 October 1964. unknown
5037HORSE RACING. ALS. 3pg. 8 x 9 . February 7 1833. New York NY. An autograph letter signed Eliza Colden to William P. Haskins of Troy New York. The letter regards a racetrack rental gone wrong. This is a very early mention of American racetracks since they were not in common use until after the Civil War. In part: I understand that Mr. Colden wrote yesterday to Mrs. Wells making an offer for the Course but at the time he did it he had no conception that Mr. Dey had gone over to the other party and rented the course to Burrs man Mr. Botts during the next Races for the trifling sum of $350. I feel hurt to think that while we were doing every thing in good faith to aid and assist and after having spent my money that we should be thus treated Mr. Dey not even thinking it worth while to mention the subject to either myself or Mr. Colden. Had Mr. Dey done his duty and got possession and you wished to have rented the property you might have got $1000 for it during next May Races. I write this letter without the knowledge of Mr. Colden in order if possible to prevent mischief which I fear it will be too late to prevent. He is outrageous and says that as the other party have acted treacherously and gone over too Burr he does not see why he should not make terms with Burr also Burr had made overtures to him which he has here to fore rejected with disdain as I am told but I now fear your will be the sufferers. Many early racetracks were operated by the rich to showcase their horses; they frequently appeared and quickly disappeared. Eliza Colder may have been related to Cadwallader Colden 1769-1834 the mayor of New York City from 1818 to 1821. Aaron Burr 1756-1836 was Vice President and the killer of Alexander Hamilton in a duel; later in life he served as a New York attorney. The letter is in fine condition with light toning and folds. unknown

185099561850. Horse and carriage ambrotype circa 1850-1859 documents mid-19th century American civilian transportation and rural social life during the decade immediately preceding and encompassing the early Civil War period. The image holds research value for the study of early photographic practice particularly outdoor ambrotype production as well as material culture relating to horse-drawn mobility family presentation and dress in pre-industrial and wartime America. Ambrotypes were typically produced in controlled studio environments due to technical limitations; the presence of an outdoor composition situates this image within a less common subset of early American photography.<br /> Quarter plate ambrotype photograph showing a family seated within a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by two large horses with an adult man standing at the front holding the animals. The man wears a broad-brimmed hat consistent with mid-19th century rural or frontier attire. The group is positioned outdoors likely on unpaved ground with no visible studio backdrop emphasizing natural light exposure. The composition centers the carriage and team with human figures arranged to present both transport and family unit simultaneously. The photograph is housed in its original leather presentation case with red velvet interior lining and a decorative copper mat framing the image. The ambrotype process a glass-based photographic technique introduced in the early 1850s produces a unique non-reproducible positive image distinguishing it from later paper-based photographic formats such as cartes de visite.<br /> Ambrotypes emerged during a transitional period in photographic history bridging earlier daguerreotype practices and the rise of reproducible paper photography. By the late 1850s and into the Civil War era photographic documentation expanded alongside technological shifts yet outdoor images remained comparatively uncommon due to exposure constraints and equipment limitations. This image contributes to the visual record of civilian life during a period often dominated by military imagery offering insight into transportation clothing and social presentation outside formal studio settings. Light wear to case exterior minor rubbing at edges; interior velvet intact with moderate compression; glass plate and mat remain well-preserved with clear image visibility. Overall very good condition. unknown
