“I was chatting with Frank Bradshaw the other Saturday about you, and he said if I saw you I was to remember him to you. He is playing a fine game at back – one of the best full backs I have seen for some considerable time.
“I beat the champion of Dorsetshire (running) 440 yards – he had not been beaten for five years. The prize was a beautiful silver teapot, &c., presented by the Mayor of Portland, so I am now champion of Dorsetshire! I also won the 100 yards.”
