You’d have to think so. After all, official trials and jump outs are run under the same rules of racing. Rafferty’s rules. Or none at all.

‘Why, George,’ I say to Gentleman George, ‘then you are the victim of a great wrong, and I will see the governor, or somebody, in your behalf at once. They cannot do this to you, when according to your own story, you are not directly connected with the matter of Mrs. Colonel Samuel B. Venus, […]
