At the Dolphin they halted
The ninth cast, page 191, line 507.
At the Dolphin they halted to allow the ambulance car to gallop past them for Jervis street.
—This way, he said, walking to the right. I want to pop into Lynam’s to see Sceptre’s starting price. What’s the time by your gold watch and chain?
Lenehan and M'Coy are walking around Essex street.
Today, June 16, 1904, the Gold Cup race is being held at Ascot Racecourse in London, and Lenehan is betting on the favorite, Sceptre. Lynam is the name of the bookkeeper in Temple Bar.
Ambulances at that time, were pulled by
horses, and the galloping of the horses thematically leads to horse racing. It
would be interesting if the ambulance reminded Lenehan of horse racing, but
unfortunately, judging from the course they walk, Lenehan's mind is full of
horse racing from the beginning.
How the prediction of the winning horse is
distributed. This is one of the important story lines of Ulysses.
Dolphin is the name of the hotel. Looking at the map, Jarvis Street is on the other side of river and quite far away from here. There used to be a big hospital on Jarvis Street. The site of the hospital is now a shopping center.
