  According to www.earlyaviators.com/ecowdin2.htm, this is Elliot Channing Cowdin, one of the best known horse breeders, but he died in 1917, aged 45, see also his obituary in the NYT, April 29, 1917 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9505E3DC1031E0... Elliot Channing Cowdin was a son of Elliot Christopher Cowdin I (1819 - 1880), s. New-York tribune., May 01, 1917, Page 7, col. 7 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1917-05-01/ed-... On the other hand, it could be Elliot Christopher Cowdin II (1886-1933), the aviator as well IMO. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_Christopher_Cowdin_II www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27205034 Elliot Christopher Cowdin II was a grandson of Elliot Christopher Cowdin I, and the son of John Elliot Cowdin (March 22, 1858 - January 7, 1941), polo player en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Elliot_Cowdin Elliot Christopher Cowdin II see also www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/9574734715/If so

  A lot of Cowdins to keep track of. This fellow is the jockey Elliot Cowdin who rode J. Cheever Cowdin's Buckthorn in the first race of the United Hunts Racing Association meet at Belmont Terminal track on May 22, 1920. Probably Elliot Christopher Cowdin II, as described by B-59. Here is an article about the meet from The Sun and the New York herald., May 23, 1920, columns 4 and 5: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030273/1920-05-23/ed-...

  I read this particular comment thread with amusement. It seems like you might have gotten to the bottom of the Elliot Cowdins Art Siegel! Thanks everyone for your research.
