I am not familiar with a Sporting Times, and based my supposition
on the only pink coloured newspaper I know - the Financial Times.
Was the Sporting Times also pink in colour in 1901? and if there were
two papers in pink at that time, why would Patterson specifically refer
to the Sporting Times as the "Pink'un".
Or is there some other reason why The Sporting Times of 1901 would be
called the "Pink'un"
Did they all come from the same office building?
Does anyone know if the owner of the Pink'un, John Corlette, who was known
as "Master" was owner of the Sporting Times or the FT?
Was he called "Master" as 'Master of the Hunt', or for some other reason?
I can't find any web-site for a Sporting Times today - does it still exist
or has it changed its name perhaps?
Best wishes, Ron in Hong Kong
