ABOUT LADY ST. CROIX,
National Trotting Association Decides
in Favor Of the Augusta Mare.
Complaint that She Was Not PROPERLY
Entered at State Fair.

The Board of Review of the National
Trotting Association has decided that
Lady st. CroiX, the well-known Angus
ia trotting mare, was properly entered
at the Maine State fair in Lewiston,
made to the contrary.
1t seems that a protest was made to
the National Association against the
eligibility CT Lady st. Croix to start in
the 2.25 pace race at the Maine State
fair of 1902
Before the entries were closed, Sec
rotary George H. Clarke of Auburn, re-
ceived an entry made by the we'll
known horseman and driver, Walter
F. Webb of this city. Mr.. Webb en-
tered a horse in the same class with
a horse entered by the gentleman who
has since filed the protest. He named
this horse Lady st. Croix at the time
of the first payment. He took the en-
try in his own name and explained
who the owner of the horse was. Mr..
Webb also entered two other horses.
sending check for first payment of all
three at the same time. The first pay
ment followed in due time. At the
time of third payment and when all
horses in their class must be named,
Mr.. Webb requested tie secretary to
publish the list of entries with Lady
St Croix the property of. ii. NJ. NC
Causland, her new owner.
Secretary Clarke complied with Mr..
Webb's request and when the Official
| list Of entries in the 20 pace came out
Lady ST. Croix appeared the property
| of II. NJ. McCausland instead OF wal
ter F. Webb, in whose name the NOM
ination first appeared.
Mr.. Webb won the race and subse-
uuently the protest was entered. Sec
! rotary Clarke ruled that the horse had
been properly entered and therefore
had a legal right to start. The Board
of Review has sustained his ruling
and Mr.. Webb can keep his winnings.

Owners of timberlands will remember

court in the State of Maine. rendered,
July &c, 1901, in the case of Millett VS..
Mullen and others. This case was of
immediate interest to Augusta parties
against whose title to large tracts of
timberlands in Penobscot county the
defendants in the above named case
asserted a title derived from the State
of Maine by virtue of a sale of the
lands by the State, many years ago,
for the non-Dayment of taxes. The
case in question held the tax titles in
valid and was of general interest to all
timberland owners throughout the
State. The sequel of this case has now
developed. The holders of the tax
titles in question. having been defeated,
brought suit against the parties who
sold them the lands and who in said
sale warranted the title to the extent
of $l.50 per acre. a settlement of this
latter suit which involves several thou
sard acres of land and several thou
sands of dollars. has Just been effected
by agreement between the parties in
terested. who all reside in Bangor.
This is the final chapter in the case,
whose history extends from 1897.

the horses were turned about in such
