"Sure that's high enough," said he, putting into the pool sufficient to entitle him to see his opponent's hand. The "old man" with great gravity laid down his four kings, whereat the Mulligan boys let a big sigh of relief escape them. Then the priest laid down four aces and scooped the pool. The sportsmen of Mulligan's never quite knew how they got out to Randwick.
It was not until he discovered one morning that everybody knew a couplet or two of "How we beat the Favourite" that he consented to forego his anonymity and appear in the unsuspected character of a verse-maker. Even in this picture of the excitements of the turf, there is nothing that would not be as true of Epsom or Ascot as of Randwick or Flemington.
Of a later date are Randwick, Newtown, Stanmore, Ashfield, Burwood, and Petersham the last four along the railway line. The good people of Sydney do not spend their money so much upon outward show as the Victorians. Hence the number of large houses in the suburbs is very much smaller.
No tram ever goes to Randwick races without him; he is always fat, hairy, and assertive; he is generally one of a party, and takes the centre of the stage all the time collects and hands over the fares, adjusts the change, chaffs the conductor, crushes the thin, apologetic stranger next him into a pulp, and talks to the whole compartment as if they had asked for his opinion.
