sold him for 5000 after driving him to his
record two years ago. 1t is reported that his
new owners have decided to change his name

One OF the most important errors contained
in the $50 list of the new Year Book is in
crediting to the!chestnut.trotting stallicn Nut
gregOr. by Preceptor. son of Nutwood, a record
Of 2:l4. 1t is stated that The Missouri trctter
gained this mark at st. Joseph Aug. "a. and
on turning to the summary OF the race il is
found that NutGregor won the second, third
one. The time of. only three heats is given.
and this is reported to have been 2:l6. PA
and 2:l6ia. III the list OF 2::}O trotters Jim
Blaine is credited with q mark Of 2;l6. made
al st. Joseph on Aug. ~. indicating that the
time OF the first mile was 2:l6. The report of
the meeting is marked official" but 1t Is well
known that no'such time was made in the race
in question, Jim Blaine,s first nile having
been trotted IN 2:26,s. while NutEreGor won
Nutgregor,s, true. record appears to be 2:l7A.
while Jim Blaine's best mark is 2:2lig.
