Guyon went to his tent that he had called for the
referee in order that he might instruct Hart not to
go out from the post and head him of. He COM
planned that Hart. who held the post and the lead
walked ran out INTO the centre Of the track far
to head him OF. Under ordinary circnm-
stancess he said. he would not mind
existing circumstances be could not afford to give
any one an adv antage Him. The rules govern
ing the walk are explicit on this subject and Hart
had no right to do as Guyon claims he did. Guyon
felt very much netted by Harts conduct and did
not return to the track for about ten minutes.
