race mare, Victoria Poem, and received about twenty letters from good horsemen
and did not answer any of them. The reason that I did not answer was that a
man who is known by the name of “Sticks” came at once, saying that he could
sell for me and I gave him all of the letters, he promising to return them
same day. This man disappeared at once from St. Thomas, receiving money from
the proprietor of the Empire Hotel by giving a worthless cheque and is wanted
by the police here. Any horseman giving information leading to his arrest
will be rewarded. He is a stout man about middle age and goes with two
crutches. Thos. L. Gray, M.D.
