Horses Trotters and Walkers,

Every now and then there is mania
for uotting horses, Even tho practi-
cal farmer gets tho bit in his month
occasionally, and likes TO tako spurt
in light vehicle with two-forty stop
per, or rs near to that us good luck
may throw such an animal IN his way
IN purchasing from a drove, as has
frequently been the case. In the midst
of this the question is asked "ls tho
trotting horse of any value TO the COM
munity" and II has boon literally dis
cussed the last few years IN our agri-
cultural clubs. The prevailing idea is,
with many people that the fast horse is
only useful TO or valued by gamblers,
sporting men, etc. But Is this SOP We
think not. There are extremes in
everything, and 1t is a pity that the
speed Of this noblest of animals should
be connected with any such thought as
this. That IL is wrong 10 have our agri-
cultural fairs made subservicnt to horse-
races, we admit. No paper has taken
stronger ground against this than tho
Germantown Telegraph. Indeed, we
are not sure but we might claim that
the marked Improvement in public SEN
timent on this subject was inauguratcd
by us. Certainly we feel that no paper
has done more for correcting public
sentiment than we. Yet there is no
more reason why there should not be
fast horses that there should be slow
ones; and fast runner should be en-
couraged MS much rs u fast walker.
While we cordially agree, therefore,
with the proposition that any agricul-
tural society, which makes the interest
OF a trotting horse paramount TO all
other interests, will sooner or later DO
ruined, we are by no means willing TO
admit that nothing but evil comes from
fast horse. One of the great sources
of human admiration for tho horse is
that he is eeter and stronger than We
We care little for the walking horse,
except ms mere walker, in which he
is certainly valuable; but 10 would DO
hard to get up any enthusiasm in
horse race. We never even heard of
bet made ona walking horse, though
one might say il would be MS easy TO
get up bets on walkers as well rs ON
trotters. But il is not done. There is
no admiration there; nc enthusiasts;
because there is nothing remarkable.
But we measure the horses value by
the work he can do and his lleetness of
foot. These are the legitimate subjects
for admiration and encouragement.
Our only objection is tlat these points,
which ought to be Of very limited en-
c0uragement when there are so many
other departments ofagriculture TO care
for, are so often made at the beginning
and end of an exhibition. That's all.
Yet all must admit that there is no
grander sight than race between two
or more remarkably fleet horses; and
II it were possible that they could be CON
Quoted as a mere event of sightseeing
at stipulated price, without betting or
any of the evil effects usually connected
with these occasions, thousands of
people would attend them where hun
dreds now do, and willingly pay their
dollar or five dollars to enjoy the thrill
ling interest of such an event Ger
