Dear Sir, —“ White Mudguard ” says in his letter that “ I then go on to pull Groan to pieces,” which was not the truth. X only stated plain facts. He also asks me to compare Grose’s road record with what O’Brien has done. This has nothing to do with the Australian trip, as Grose is going over solely as a track-rider. The same applies to the gruelling Round-the-Gorges* also Palmerston North to Wellington races.

The fairest way to settle this argument would be to stage a series of match races between O’Brien and Grose. # I don’t sea the point in bringing up Grose's accident.
