litkikend, who was led with a leading string, was walked
to the middle of the stand, and, upon being loosed, he
bolted sideways towards the judge's box, and with some
difficulty WAS prevented from running into the railings.
His subsequent freaks caused the spectators in that
neighbourhood, who had assembled to witness the Mart,
to disperse in disordered -hatches. At 23 minutes to
