In the article referring to the Y.
NJ. G.. A. auto race in yesterdays
issue it was stated that Mr.. Edward
Rutledge's team Of boys won third
place in their Saxon Six. This was
an error as the chauffeur of the Sax
on Six was Master Sydnor Thomp-
son. and the successful work accom-
plished by this young man and his
team of boys is deserving Of all the
praise that can be bestowed, for their
finish near the top.
