THE WHOLE TRUTH 



ting part of it all, the public talk concerning him, 

 what I was supposed to have done and what I 

 didn't do— I think they must all be told at length. 

 Looking back I see plainly that there are plenty of 

 things to blame myself for. I will tell the truth any- 

 way and then after all this lapse of years the public 

 and the heads of the Turf can consider the whole affair 

 in a calm spirit. Many of the actors in it are still 

 alive, and jockeys and others can disprove many of the 

 allegations which were made against me at the time — 

 after the race was over.
