Colonel Alfred Septimus Palmer, of 3, Victoria Square, New- castle. Colonel Palmer is a well-known racing man and a familiar figure at all the leading north-country meetings. But racing is by no means the sole sport in which he takes a keen practical interest. On the contrary he is a fairly regular attendant at the leading coursing meetings, and almost invariably contrives to witness the running for the Waterloo Cup. He is also a first-rate game-shot, and takes more than a passing interest in cricket and football.
A Novocastrian born and bred, Colonel Palmer was educated at Edinburgh University. Though devoted to sport, the gallant gentleman has by no means made it the raison d'etre of his existence, au contraire he has taken an active part in municipal affairs, holding many public offices of importance. Inter alia' he is chairman of the Felling Local Board and School Board, and Chairman of the Gateshead Guardians. An Alderman of the Durham County Council, he presides as Chairman over the debates of the Works Committee, whilst he has for many years been a Justice of the Peace for the County of Durham.
Always a supporter of the Volunteer movement, Colonel Palmer has sup- ported precept with practice, having for many years commanded the New castle Royal Engineer Volunteers. Colonel Palmer married Miss E. J Wilkinson. Politically he is a Liberal whose principles are in harmony with the spirit of the times and the progress of the age in which we live.
