The Hawthorne Gold Cup was run, for the first time ever, under electric lights, before forty thousand people. At the far turn every lamp on the course went out for eleven seconds. When they came back on, the favourite was last and an outsider called Last Call was six lengths clear.

Roaring Twenties: case 50

This Hell case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 9 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 50 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
