'''Frederick Arthur Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby''' (15 January 1841 – 14 June 1908), known as '''Hon. Frederick Stanley''' until 1886 and '''Lord Stanley of Preston''' between 1886–1893, was a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] politician in the United Kingdom who served as [[Secretary of State for the Colonies|Colonial Secretary]] from 1885 to 1886 and [[Governor General of Canada]] from 1888 to 1893. An avid sportsman, he built [[Stanley House Stables]] in England and is famous in North America for presenting Canada with the [[Stanley Cup]], the championship trophy in [[ice hockey]]. Stanley was also one of the original inductees of the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]].

==Early life and education==
Stanley was born in [[St James's Square]], [[Westminster]],<ref>{{cite news |title=Births. |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000206/18410123/048/0007 |work=[[Manchester Courier]] |date=23 January 1841 |page=7|url-access=subscription}}</ref> the second surviving son of [[Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby|Edward Smith-Stanley, Lord Stanley]], and the Hon. [[Emma Caroline Smith-Stanley, Countess of Derby|Emma Caroline, Lady Stanley]], daughter of [[Edward Bootle-Wilbraham, 1st Baron Skelmersdale]]. He was educated at [[Harrow School|Harrow]] and [[Royal Military College, Sandhurst|Sandhurst]]. 

In 1851, his father succeeded as 14th [[Earl of Derby]]. The longest-serving leader of the Conservative Party (1846–68), the 14th Earl served as [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] on three occasions, from February to December 1852, 1858–1859, and 1866–1868.<ref name="burke">{{cite book |title= [[Burke's Peerage|Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knighthood]]|publisher=Burke's Peerage & Gentry |editor= Mosley, Charles |editor-link=Charles Mosley (genealogist) |edition=107 |year= 2003 |page=1104 |ref=Burke |isbn=0-9711966-2-1}}</ref>

==Military career==

Stanley received a commission in the [[Grenadier Guards]], rising to the rank of Captain before leaving the army for politics.<ref name="burke"/><ref name="nyt1891">[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E3D7123AE533A25756C0A9679D94609ED7CF "Canada's Executive Head; Power and Emoluments of the Governor General.

==Political career==
Stanley served as a Conservative Member of Parliament for [[Preston (UK Parliament constituency)|Preston]] (1865–68), [[North Lancashire (UK Parliament constituency)|North Lancashire]] (1868–85) and [[Blackpool (UK Parliament constituency)|Blackpool]] (1885–86).  In government, he served as a [[Civil Lord of the Admiralty (Royal Navy)|Civil Lord of the Admiralty]] (1868), Financial Secretary to the War Office (1874–78), Secretary to the Treasury (1878), [[Secretary of State for War|War Secretary]] (1878–80) and [[Secretary of State for the Colonies|Colonial Secretary]] (1885–86). In 1886, he was created [[Baron Stanley of Preston]], in the County Palatine of Lancaster. He served as [[President of the Board of Trade]] (1886–88), remaining in that office until he was appointed [[Governor General of Canada]].<ref name="burke"/><ref name="nyt1891"/>

==Governor General of Canada==
[[File:Ice carnival in Rideau Rink c1888.JPG|thumb|left|300px|Ice Carnival in [[Rideau Skating Rink|Rideau Rink]] in Lord Stanley's time 1888–1893]]
Stanley was appointed the Governor General of Canada and Commander in Chief of [[Prince Edward Island]] on 1 May 1888.<ref name="burke"/><ref name="nyt1891"/> During his term as Governor General, he travelled often and widely throughout the country. His visit to western Canada in 1889 gave him a lasting appreciation of the region's great natural beauty as well as permitting him to meet the people of Canada's [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] and many western ranchers and farmers. During his visit, he dedicated [[Stanley Park]], which is named after him. He also experienced the joys of fishing and avidly pursued the sport whenever his busy schedule allowed. As governor general, Stanley was the third holder of that office to whom [[Queen Victoria]] granted the power of granting pardons to offenders or remitting sentences and fines and the power of mitigating capital or any other sentence.<ref name=nyt1891/>

When [[Prime Minister of Canada|Prime Minister]] [[John A. Macdonald]] died in office of heart failure on 6 June 1891, Stanley lost the close friendship he had enjoyed with Macdonald. He asked [[John Joseph Caldwell Abbott|John Abbott]] to take over as prime minister. Once the government was in place, Abbott resigned for health reasons and turned the government over to [[John Sparrow David Thompson|John Thompson]]. Stanley helped cement the non-political role of the governor general when, in 1891, he refused to agree to a controversial motion in the House of Commons. The motion called on him as governor general to disallow the government of Quebec's ''[[Jesuit Estates Act]]'', which authorized paying {{CAD|400,000}} as compensation for land granted to the Jesuits by the King of France.<ref name=nyt1891/> The opposition to the bill was introduced by the other provinces who were motivated by mistrust of the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec. Stanley declined to interfere, citing the proposed disallowance as unconstitutional. In holding to this decision, he gained popularity by refusing to compromise the viceregal position of political neutrality.

Stanley's wife, whom [[Wilfrid Laurier]] described as "an able and witty woman", made a lasting contribution during her husband's term of office. In 1891, she founded the [[Lady Stanley Institute for Trained Nurses]] on [[Rideau Street]], the first nursing school in [[Ottawa]]. She was also an enthusiastic fan of [[ice hockey|hockey]] games at the [[Rideau Rink]].

==Stanley Cup==

{{main|Stanley Cup}}
Stanley's sons became avid ice hockey players in Canada, playing in amateur leagues in Ottawa, and Lord and Lady Stanley became staunch hockey fans. In 1892, Stanley bequeathed to Canada a trophy today named in his honour as the [[Stanley Cup]], known originally as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup. He originally donated the trophy as a challenge cup for Canada's best amateur hockey club, but in 1909, it became contested for by professional teams exclusively. Since 1926, only teams of the [[National Hockey League]] have competed for the trophy. This now-famous cup bears his name as a tribute to his encouragement and love of outdoor life and sport in Canada and in recognition, he was inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 1945 in the "Honoured Builders" category. The original size of the trophy was {{convert|7|in|mm}} and is now around {{convert|36|in|mm}} and weighs {{convert|35|lb|kg}}.

==Later years==
[[File:Frederick Arthur Stanley.jpg|thumb|Frederick Arthur Stanley]]
Stanley's term as Governor General of Canada was due to end in September 1893 but in April of that year, his elder brother, the [[Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby|15th Earl of Derby]], died. Stanley succeeded him as the 16th [[Earl of Derby]].<ref name="burke"/> As a result, Stanley, now known as Lord Derby, left Canada on 15 July 1893 and returned to England. An administrator was appointed to fulfil his duties until [[John Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair|Lord Aberdeen]] was sworn in that September.

Also in 1893, Toronto's "[[New Fort York]]" (built in 1841) was renamed The [[Stanley Barracks]] in honour of Lord Stanley. Back with his family in England, he soon became the [[Lord Mayor of Liverpool]] and the first Chancellor of the [[University of Liverpool]]. [[Stanley Park, Liverpool|Stanley Park]], Liverpool is also named after him. In November 1901 Lord Derby was elected Mayor of [[Preston, Lancashire|Preston]] for the following year,<ref name="burke"/><ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Election of Mayors |date=11 November 1901 |page=7 |issue=36609}}</ref> and took part in the 1902 [[Preston Guild]]. He later received the [[Honorary Freedom of Boroughs Act 1885|honorary freedom of the borough]] of Preston, with which his family had been associated  for centuries.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Court Circular |date=22 November 1902 |page=12 |issue=36932| }}</ref>

During the last years of his life, he increasingly dedicated himself to philanthropic work. He was founder president of the committee for the building of [[Liverpool Cathedral]] in 1901,<ref name=livcath>{{cite book|last=Riley|first=Ken|title=Liverpool Cathedral|year=1987|publisher=Fine Art Publications|pages=16–17}}Guide to the Anglican cathedral.</ref> and helped fund the Coronation Park, [[Ormskirk]], in 1905.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Broady-Hawkes|first1=Dot|title=Ormskirk Nostalgia: Happy birthday to Coronation Park – 120 years old this month|url=http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/news/ormskirk-nostalgia-happy-birthday-coronation-9454037|work=Southport Visitor|date=21 June 2015}}</ref>
