The Daily Times of August 30 states that “a race between Frederick Wain and Thomas Fairley was run on the Cavurshain Road yesterday (Monday) afternoon, and was witnessed by about 200 persons. The distance was 200 yards and the money £lO a aide. Wain took the lead at the start, maintained it throughout, and came in a winner by about throe yards. The time was variously taken, but 24 seconds appeared to be considered the most reliable.” Fairley is well known in this district as a pedestrian of considerable note.
