Depiction: A good pious old soul, wearing a hood, red cloak, clean apron, and pattens, and carrying Wesley's hymns in her hand, is interrogating certain sporting characters, who are lounging at the door of the Ram Inn. "Pray, young man" she enquires of a smart young jockey, "are there any meetings in this town?" To which the jockey replies, "Yes, ma'am, two a year - Spring and October!"
