Delegate's Last Rage at Delegate Race Meeting
The Delegate correspondent mocks the Delegate Jockey Club in a satirical obituary and epitaph for a failed meeting. It notes few owners mourn more than racing committees, cites the D J C Handicap report as near enough, and mentions prize money shortfalls and plans to raise funds through an Easter meeting for funeral expenses of Dr. 2. The piece laments lack of substantial racing and praises only two contested events, with local owners winning modest sums.
