Doggett put on Trolley. D?ggett has ridden Sde.n

eyes the style in which Dogset; has ridden IroiIey
manner in which Doggett rode Trolley and various
other horses at Brighton this summer. OF course
Walter Jennings must admire the manner IN Whlch

why Dorgett rode Trolley in the first race and did
not ride Briar Sweet in the fourth race. The
