At Valentine's Brook, Kellsboro Jack, getting a beautiful ride from little David Dudley Williams whom many experts consider England's best steeplechase jockey, took the lead.

Squads of police finally restored order just as a bus driver, threatened by the mob, drove his vehicle into the river, thoroughly wetting the family of one Alfred Paget. U. S. citizen...
