Let the matter be discussed.

Where are all the Elllton trotters {?
The season is advancing, and the mildest
kind of horsey talk has not been INDUCED
in. The sporting portion of that lively
little town have certainly not given up
such practices? What excuse can they
give? They have one oil the best OF hall
mile tracks upon which to develop speed.
Something is evidently wrong. Has O. p.
retired from the turf? What has become
of w. T. b.? Has r. T. G. G. failed to
secure good Jun in all his spring deal
ings? Has the Swing" been permantly
retired Is there no hope of having a
trotter from so thoroughly horsey town?
| If there is, then let us not DO kept in
suspense longer, but trot the "critter"
out. We possess two in this town that
we dote on, and while one of these will
not be tracked till fall, the other will be
given a chance this spring 1t is whis-
perad about that the stables at Fair Hill,
Cecil county, Nd, contain several extra
ones. One or more of these are green
ones that promise good results.
