Description: Shows a horse race, being won by the jockey Jellicoe, ahead of Duthie and Fisher on their mounts. A dejected bearded man in a top hat watches from the right. This is a galley proof rather that a newsclipping. It seems to indicate that Jellicoe won an election. However, "Fair play", 10 February 1894, pages 10-13 says that he unsuccessfully contested Wellington for a seat in Parliament in the interests of the Ballance Government.
