A TROTTING FINE

TO THE EDITOR OJf THE MESS. Sir,—Having seen by the paper that J. Brycc was fined £25 for interference with Harold Logan, I would like to know at what part of the race that was supposed to occur. If it was the incident in the straight at the finish of the race, then, as a lover of fair play, I wish to state that I was carefully watching the two horses. Not having backed anything in the race I was more interested in watching the two champions than in the rest of the field. What I saw was Harold Logan come in, passing Red Shadow on the inner side of him. Another horse nearer the rails than Harold oroke, came over on Harold, interfering with him, and lie in turn came over ott Red Shadow, stopping his run. At the time Red Shadow was behind and well on the outside of Harold Logan, so I fail to see how he was to blame. In fact, the boot was on the other foot. In the failing light it was difficult to discern for certain what the other horse was, and having seen the chances of Harold Logan and Red Shadow effectually settled by this horse, I turned to watch the finish.—Yours, etc., FAIRPLAY.

Williams, chairman of the judicial committee of (lie Metropolitan Trotting lub. to whom this letter referred, said that the interference took place going out. of the tlraight the first time near I lie Show Grounds, not towards the finish of the race.
