...person referred to - not by name - has since made it clear to us that we did him an injustice in charging him with being the author of the objectionable paragraph in the Advertiser, on which we commented. We are sorry for our mistake, and can only say, in excuse, that we had strong reasons to suppose we were right...
...very entertaining pamphlet, being sometimes highly ludicrous at places where "the laugh" was hardly intended to "come in" by the author.

The author of that suggestion must have forgotten that the positions of the crews at the start are given out by lot, and I hope that he does not accuse any of his friends of using head-work or management in the drawing of places...
