Paignton Regatta: … … Horse Driving: Unfortunately, the horse driving and jumping competitions were a failure, only one contest, that for driving, attracting entries sufficient to warrant the committee in retaining the classes in the schedule. For the solitary class figuring in the programme there were six – entries — Miss G. Burston’s (Taunton) Camelion; Mr. T. Codner’s (Kingskerswell) Joe; Mr. W. S. Pinsent’s (Newton) Minerva; Rev. F. R. B. Simpson’s (Churston) Dolly; Mr. G. T. Mudge’s (Paignton) Nigia; and Messrs. Eastmans, Limited (Teignmouth). The committee for this part of the day’s programme was composed of Messrs. R. Coomhes. R. Moore, R. Waycott, and F. P. Bennett. The solitary contest resulted as follows: 1, Miss Burston’s Camelion: 2, Mr. W. S. Pinsent’s Minerva: 3, Mr. G. T. Mudge’s Nigia.
