17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. James Gordon Bennett, Jr. (1841–1918) American publisher, born in New York City on the 10th of May 1841. He is the only son of the founder of the Herald, and became proprietor of that paper on the death of his father. He is very fond of yachting, and has taken part in two famous races with English yachts. His Henrietta won in 1866, but his Dauntless was beaten in 1870 by the English Cambria. He became managing editor of the Herald in 1866, and largely controlled it for the six years prior to his father’s death. He gained prominence and advanced the interests of his paper by publishing in England storm-warnings from the United States Signal Service; by fitting out the Jeannette for a polar expedition; and by sending Henry M. Stanley to search for Livingstone. Mr. Bennett resides most of the time in Paris, where he attends to the foreign news department of his paper. In 1883 he and John W. Mackay formed the Commercial Cable Company for transatlantic service. He founded the Evening Telegram in New York City and started an English edition of the Herald in 1888, but continued it only one year. © 2022 WEHD.com
