    Valera had last year and won a silver cup for Footing Turf. But he has only won it twice and has to win it once more before it is his. When he won it he gave it to Mr. Moore to put in his shop window to let the people see it. He is not very well off he is only a poor farmer who lives with his sister and brother and his brother is a dummy. I know this man well. He goes to Kilbeggan to sell turf.
