I and my machine were no longer like a masterless dog, and, if we were scouted from the pavement, at least we would take modestly but firmly, if need be, our proper breathing room in the road. From this moment my attitude towards hansoms...

Excerpt from The Badminton Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, Vol. 13: July to December, 1901Bill Means had wilted right there, and after that we none of us wondered that jimmy Murray should look so pleased over the prospect of bringing the branding job to an end as soon as Charley and the boys fetched up the last lot of steers.

Excerpt from Green, Yellow Sleeves Belt and CapShow some promise Of training on into that rare product of the thoroughbred, the Liverpool horse, have proved themselves unmistakably lacking in the essential attributes.

Only a little progress had been made when the King's de...
