I am too good a sportsman at least, Sir, to complain of rough
usage in a fair way, but while I must suffer for the ambition of every
ped. and every wheel-man, my colleague and close relation, who is
generally known as "The Standard," is put higher and higher, without
really doing anything at all to deserve his elevation. I have had the
people all shouting about me; I have been the subject of columns of
statistical gush in the Sporting Press, and now I am constrained to
appeal to a non-professional for bare justice in my crippled old age.
Wishing you a happier New Year than the old one has been to me, I am
yours, in disgust,
A SMASHED RECORD.
