tea1ns by requiring member to attend to tile
trying position OF Captain in addition to deyot-
ing his entire skill and energies to success in
the shooting. They feel that no one Of them
has had the time or opportunity to obtain the
experience necessary to succe ssfu1ly ill both
positions, therefore at the ulreting held after
their practice yesterday they decided that tile
Captain should not shoot in either tean match.

Gentlemen who attended the meeting at Sasi-
nav last week tell q mournful story of the flat
failure in which it resulted. The meeting, as
originally advertised, was for four days, but, as
some OF the purses did not ill, it WIS decided
TO- trot during three days ouly. There were
hardly enough present on any day to judge the
race, and the horsemen became SO uisgusted
with the action Of the management that those
who were to have trotted on the third day refused
absolutely to DO SO, and shipped their stock to
other points. 1t seems that the Association did
not pay the purses in f'lll, giving the winning
horses IS per cent only of what theY were en-
titled to. There are also rumors regarding the
suppression of time in some of the races that
should be investigated This is the SECOND
