Robert Allen serds the RECORD UNION a
note relative to the proposed race between
the horses of Messrs. Hodson and Gilman,

IF the same Mr. Gilman did bring his
horse to the track, and had him there for
.hree days; and then took him away, as no
1ne came to cover his money" There APP
pears to have been misunderstanding
about this matter, and it does not seem prob
,ble that there will be race, so that the
question as to who is boss of the road "
will remain unsettled.
