Elkton and as it affords more amusement

Our report of the racing last weak con-
tanned one error which we desire TO correct.
Sagwa, the Elkton PAGER owned by Mr.. S.
B. Foard was not distanced in the $50 pa
cling race as reported, but was drawn by
Mr.. Foard. The judges took Mr.. Crouch
from the sulky of Sagwa and gave Clare
mont, whose driver bad been driving IN
fairly, into his charge. The officers of the
Association knew that this injured Sagwa's
chances and permitted his owner to draw
the horse and refunded his entrance fee.
Had Mr.. Crouch driven Sagwa throughout
the race, Mr.. Foard thinks Sagwa would
have secured second or third place. Mr..
Crouch did well behind Claremont and adj.
ded to his reputation as first-class driver of
trotters and PAGERS.
