I was looking at the search engine keyword searches on the Six-Day site just now.
It seems that there is a little flurry of interest in Harry Elkes.
He was a noted rider at the turn of the century (19-20th) and was apparently
killed on the track.
All I can find is a short entry in the Concord Enterprise Newspaper of June 3,
1903.

Bertram Holt, Miss Maria Donavan and others attended the races at Charles
River park Memorial day and witnessed the terrible accident whereby Harry
Elkes was killed.

I can't even identify the track and don't think I have it listed.
Does anybody have any further details on either the track or Mr. Elkes please?
