Farland told the Australian that he
was needed in the race, he replied
without any hesitation, that he was
ready to ride Goullet had planned
to leave for French Lick Springs for
vacation. Big Lacquer that he is.
Goullet saw that he was needed and
was glad that he could step into the
breach.
Newark is the town that gives me
my money and I'll do anything you
may ask of me here in Newark. .
was the way Goullet put it by way
of answering MacFarland, when re-
quested to ride the Newark race.

land says when things are just to
his liking. The field for the sprint

Hill to BE GouIiets Partner.
Goullet will be teamed with Freddy
9fill in the Newark six-day race, and
Fhey make a very strong team In
fact, they have an even break with
any of the other big teams, with pos
sibly a little shade in their favor
Fogler and Verb look about as
strong, however, as Verri and Fogler
are both better than Hill. Goullet
and Hill won the recent Boston race,
and won It quite easily, through the
great superiority of Goullet in the
final sprints, Goullet winning four
out of the five heats that decided the
race.
