Title: The Grand Circuit In the High Wheel Era
Post by: Wilderness on June 16, 2014, 05:11:53 AM

With the exception of updates to the Memorial Section of the website, I've not made any newly archived article additions since the sites were reactivated in Feb 2012.

Had some time to burn tonight and thought to add this.
from WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1913 THE HORSE REVIEW

Many thanks to Paul Wilder for his help in scanning this article (some time ago).

The second portion from the X-mas 1914 Horse Review will be added in the distant future.

It is however quite long.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I skimmed through it to see if I knew any of the names of horses or drivers. Kept it on my computer screen to read more closely later on.

Sadly I knew of some of the names. I am old.   rflmao1

Many thanks to Mary Lou Dondarski for providing this issue, which prompted a request for the 1913 article.
