The Gordon Bennett Motor Race

Snippets

Leinster Leader, Saturday 30 May 1903, Last Edition - Page 5.

District Doings,

In Athy and Carlow.
Dogs will certainly be a source of danger on the day of the great motor race. They are to be met with everywhere, and the question of ownership and consequent responsibility is often a difficult matter to decide. Many of the nondescript crowd have "no fixed residence," and the summary despatch of any of those hungry wanderers found straying on to the course on the day of the race would appear to be an imperative necessity.
