	Gordon Bennett!
		The elder James Gordon Bennett was born in Banffshire, Scotland in 1795 and emigrated to the USA, eventually becoming a journalist and founding the New York Herald in 1835.

		Gordon Bennett hired for the club the Herald's editor of the ship news, one Niels Olsen, who was to remain as Club Steward or Superintendent until 1904, and who personally kept all racing records of the club during that time in a clear longhand.

		James Gordon Bennett (the elder), whose obituary appears here, was the founder of the New York Herald newspaper and the father of James Gordon Bennett (the younger), co-founder of the Commercial Cable Company.
