Description
In the background a small coach, marked 'Expedition Fly' has lost a wheel. Two men discuss the accident. One, in a tall round-hat, says:
"Why John, there be the Exposition Fly overturned opposite St James's Gate. Why dost not thee lend a hand? - They say they have made a pretty kettle of fish of it."
The other man, standing with his hands in his pockets, replies:
"I tell thee what Bill… - Feather always said to I, never trouble thy head about state affairs." Available on CD 158.
