Two Edwardian silver gilt four-handled communal cups by R. & S. Garrard & Co Two Edwardian silver gilt four-handled communal cups by R. & S. Garrard & Co. (Sebastian Henry Garrard), London, 1902 and 1907, each almost cylindrical body chased with borders of stylized bosses and lunettes, with four conforming B-form handles, 13cm (5in) high, 1594g (51.25 oz) Each presentation engraved for hare coursing- Clifton Cup 1908 and Fancy Lass. These models are based on the Staffordshire slipware communal cups dating from the late 17th century. 'Mr E Hulton would not have relied on Fancy Lass had all gone well with Platonic. The bitch has had a litter of puppies, but this does not seem to have affected her much, as she carried off the Clifton Cup at the Ridgway Meeting in fine style. She may progress some considerable distance through the stake.' The Glasgow Herald, Monday 17th February 1908. Sir Edward Hulton, baronet (1869-1925), newspaper proprietor, was born in Manchester, the second son of Edward Hulton (d. 1904), newspaper proprietor, and his wife, Mary Mosley. He was educated at St Bede's College, Manchester, but left school at sixteen to learn how to manage newspapers. Hulton senior was an astute entrepreneur who built up a stable of popular titles, including the Sporting Chronicle (1871), the Athletic News (1875), and the Sunday Chronicle (1885). By the mid-1890s he was ready to relinquish the day-to-day control of his business to Edward, who initiated a period of rapid expansion, adding the Manchester Evening Chronicle (1897) and the Daily Dispatch (1900) to the Hulton list. The Evening Chronicle was especially successful and quickly acquired the largest circulation of any evening paper outside London. When Hulton senior died in 1904 Edward's two younger sisters indicated that they were unhappy to see the business pass into his hands; they shared, perhaps, their mother's anxieties regarding his interest in racing and coursing. However, he retained the confidence and support of his two elder sisters, and it soon became clear that their judgement was sound. Hulton, who registered his racing colours under the name of Lytham in order not to alarm his mother, devoted much time and expense to his sporting passions but could never have been accused of neglecting the business. His office regime, characterized by an early start to the day and a late finish, with a minimum of delegation, has been described as puritanical . By 1923, when he retired, the Hulton empire had grown to incorporate eight titles generating average pre-tax profits of around £377,000 (Griffiths, Plant here the Standard, 210).
