The sunlrnary which ap- peared in this paper was,.ecelved from the clerk of the course at summerside, July 1 and later, when we heard the talk that was going “oundhehad him call the official timer at Summer-side who consul- ted the score card which he mar- ked during the races and his state- ment is that Peter Budlong's rc- pord of 2.14 in the third heat is gorrect. The fractions are: quar- ter, .36, one-half, 1.10, three quar- ters, 1 43, mile 2.14.

Thomas Horgan, stanhope, paid u; a visit a. few afternoons ago and said that we should have includ- ed lilo name of Robert J. in our writeup of a trio of great pacers. Mr. Horgan was correct. We iaave the names of John R. Gentry, .00 3-4 and Joe Patchen, 2.01 1-4 but somehow left out Robert J. Mr. I-iorgan saw tihese panel's race many times as he was head coach- man for D. R. Hanna, Cleveland. Ohio, who was 0 son of the cele- brated Mark Hanna, the man who placed McKinley in the presidency 0f the United States. While Mr. Hanna did not race any horses he drove in an amateur way and al- wayg _l<ept some of the best trot- ters and pacers procurable. Mr. Horgan came out from Ireland as

very young. man but quite exper- anoed with horses and seemed the above employment. Cleveland was at that time the harnem ra- eing centre of the United States and many were the great trottin and going duel; which our frien from

vehead wit eased there. Later on, connection with transferred his oer-v to Alexander Macdonald ‘who buitt the magntficent home at Dalvay. It was Mr. Horgan who gave the ridin and driving instruc- tions to the lla. girls. nieces of Mr. aid who will re- membered by many of our people. Mr. Hcrgan still loves the horses and follows them through "Down the Back Stretch" and other race reports.

A rumor was current some time a? that our good friend. Frank A sms, Halifax was ill. He must have made a od recovery because we were talkilziag to him over the ‘phone a few days ago.
