PHOTOGRAPH 14 X 9 cm Date: Not evident. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified (Likely Meyers) Notation: The fellow on the right, holding the starting pistol, has a row of badges going down his sleeve and and two rows of similar badges going down his chest.. all of the legible ones read "Holly S. S. Club" (likely Snow Shoe Club) and an annual season (e.g. 1904-05) The legible ones on his sleeve are 1909-10 through to 1912-13. Legible ones on his chest are 1900-01 through 1904-05. It appears that the row on his arm was in process and reserved for the decade of seasons beginning with 1909-1910, the row on his left chest were for the decade beginning 1899-00, and the row on his right chest would have presumably been been for the decade beginning 1889 -90. Since his badges end with the 1912-13 year, it is reasonable to believe this race likely took place that season or the next. The gentleman to his right (hidden behind the starting line-up) sports similar badges on his coat.
