Well done William!
Not a single Southerner on the bill.
This is absolutely incredible and we can only wonder and wonder what was behind it all.
I would guess that it was DM in name only and was sub-contracted for the night to Morrell. I wonder whether the officials were the RAH regulars?
Most RAH bills at the time, and always, had a majority of Southerners, so this really does stick out like a sore thumb.
Definitely something in it, but what?
