"Don't Fence Me In"

All went well at the last midget car racing meet at the Showgrounds until the last race.

Zooming round the course in one of the heats, something suddenly went wrong with the steering gear of P. Hatwell's entry.

It veered off-course, and crashed noisily into the fence.

Picture above was shot at moment of impact.

People watching at that point jumped back in alarm. A boy received a cut on the knee.
