A BRIEF spat occurred between Alex.
Lewis, president of the Ass 1ciatiop and
a reporter of contemporary, the for
mer considering the latter had pub
| lished an item connected with last
| FRIDAYS races which reflected on Mr..
Lewis, and felt aggrieved to the extent
of requesting him to leave the judges
stand, where he was taking notes. Both
were excited, and while the Ii an of
horses and races was somewhat an
moved at the language he used. he had
no apology to make. The article which
caused the trouble was generally con-,
sidered to be too farfeLched in It's criti-
cism, and THE HFRALD's notes of that
day were referred to as being correct.
