CoRRECr1oN.-In our issue OF yester-
day, in speaking OF the undecided con-
test between Logaus sorrel geldipg and
Langford's Spotted Tail, we erred by
stating that Spotted Tail soon took the
lead. and that the sorrel made several
bad breaks and ran portion Of tue
way, and the judges awarded the heat
and run to Spotted Tail. We iuudver-
tently reversed the positions of tho
horses in tho race. The sorrcl took tho
l"ad ut once, and gained several lengths
on Spotted Tuil. Spotted Tail then
broke. overlook and passed the sorrel
several lengths, on run, before his
driver pulled him down to trot. He
kept ahead by occasionally muking O
run oil round the track, aud conse-
quently came in ahead Of the sorrel.
The rules of trotting require the judges
to take OF from the running horse, at
tho coming out, double the distance he
may gain by the run. This being done,
the heat and the race wore given TO the
sorrel. and not to Spotted Tail Ont of
the five heats trotted TO decide The ruce,
Spotted Tail put in several good runs in
each heat; while the sorrel, in every
heat awarded him. trotted fair and
square, and when he broke. was pulled
promptly to a trot by his driver. Mr..
Charles Logan's sorreI is South Carolina
raised.
