present in Sydney, where he has been riding with more than average success, and his name figured in the weekend cables as having won one of the big handicaps in Sydney. O’Shea has also been honoured with a place in the Press Association news of the day by reason of a brilliant ride in Christchurch, where he established a new record of 2min. lsec. for the mile. Years ago figures under two minutes were supposed to have been registered in Nelson when “Morrie” Randrup and George Sutherland were competing there, but no official record was kept of them. O’Shea’s latest performance is a wonderful one for a man of his age—he has been on the track and road for the past twenty years, and seems to be still riding as well as ever.
