Swan Inn on Norwich's Swan Lane was one of the first Inns from which he displayed his sign in the mid 1850s. He kept the Capitol Saloon in New York City for several years, on Twenty-Third Street in Manhattan. With his partner, Mace profited from his percentage of the gambling upstairs which included Faro, Routlette, Boston props, an old card game, Rouge et Noir, using red and black diamond cards, and other card games. The Saloon was frequented by notorious underworld criminals including shanghaier Shang Draper. John Morrissey, the former boxer, Dead Rabbits criminal gang leader, and Tammany Hall politician had a bloodless dispute in Mace's saloon. In 1871, Jimmy Haggerty, a gangster from Philadelphia, was mortally wounded in a bar fight in Mace's Saloon from a gunshot delivered by Reddy the Blacksmith, of the Bowery Boys gang. Mace later ran a hotel in Australia's Melbourne suburb of Flemington with boxer George Thompson as a partner. By 1881, while running his hotel, he owned racehorses, a few of which he ran in Australia's Melbourne Cup. In 1902, at the Coronation Tournament at London's Royal Albert Hall, Mace sponsored or participated in a show honouring the coronation of King Edward VII that combined boxing with wrestling, fencing, running, cycling and gymnastics, as part of England's National Sporting Club. In his late sixties, after he returned to England, he ran the Black Lion Hotel on Cohill Street in Birmingham. Mace married three times, twice bigamously, and fathered at least fourteen children by five women. He is believed by a few sources to have had an affair with famous American Louisiana-born actress Adah Isaacs Menken, who performed frequently in England. During his life Mace made and gambled away a considerable fortune. After the death of his wife, according to one source, he began to lose his fortune rapidly, and in his last years lived on the English old-age pension of 5 shillings a week and the generosity of friends. He ended his life as a penniless street musician in Jarrow, Durham, with his death assigned to natural causes, and was buried in an unmarked grave at Anfield Cemetery, Liverpool, England. Funeral services were conducted by his son Alfred, a priest. Several sources reported that his total net worth acquired during his prime may have reached $1,000,000 in American 1910 currency or roughly £800,000 in the British currency of 1870, or £20,000,000 in today's
