holly contested and the winners of
each race had to fight it out to a finish.

of which WAS collision between Mallet
and Arthur b.. but happily all the
damage sustained was to the sulkies.

judgment of his owner, to please the
management simply, as three weeks
since he received an accident at Farm.
