[ Note added 2010. The headline for this reads "Sinn Feiners and Raiding" I assume it should have been " Sinn Fein and Racing", nevertheless "Sportsman" strikes a chord. ] Carlow Sentinel, March 1919. Sinn Feiners and Raiding. Declaring Sinn Fein to be responsible for the abandoning of the Tuam Race meeting, the "Sportsman" writes :-- Presumably their chief ground for objection to the race meeting at Tuam is that the entire profits were to be given to the County Galway, Comrades of the Great War " OUR DAY" Fund and that those wounded in the fight for freedom against the tyranny of Potsdam would have reaped some benefit. Such an attitude is as foolish as that of the Suffragettes who a few years ago attempted to stop the Derby and Ascot Gold Cup from being run.
