M. Macfarlane, M.P.) at an informal reception held in their honour yesterday morning. The drivers were Reg Parnell, Peter Whitehead. and Horace Gould, all of England. and Jack Brabham and Allan McKay. of Australia. Although the death of Fen Wharton at Ardmore had emphasised the risks in motor racing. it was a sport which did not have a monopoly of danger, said Nr Macfarlane. All sports, he said, offered risks to the participants. He wished the drivers well in their events tomorrow. Replying to the Mayor's wel: come on behalf of the drivers, Parnell said he thought the race would be an even one. "Peter Whitehead, of course, is very anxious to win the Lady wigram rophy tor the third time, and I myself will be doing my best to take it away. However, there is a man called Gould who has other ideas about who will be the win-! ner, ," he said.
