An Important Discussion or Recent
Action--Stake Races.
Yesterday afternoon the executive COM
nittee of the Minnesota Association OF
Trotting ID Pacing Horse Breeders held
meeting at NJ. McGrath's store lower
Third street, for the purpose OF preparing
program of the stake races, electlng new
members and for the transaction OF such
pther business as might come before 1t. AT
the meeting of the association held TWO
weeks ago resolution was adopted making
the nativity of the foal depend upon the
place where it was dropped, and not where
the mare received the service OF the horse.
This resolution was adopted unanimously.
Not voice was raised against it. AT the
meeting of the executive committee yester-
dav this matter naturally came to be sub
iect for discussion, and good part of the
session was occupied in considering it.
Mr.. De Graft of st. Paul and Mr.. Graves of
Rochester, who were in attendance yester5
day. were not at the general meeting OF the
association last week, and consequently
did not know this resolution was adopted
till thew read it in the GLOBE. Both are
strongly opposed to it, and declared that it
was inconsistent with rule 2, sec
ton 6. which says that "only
horses. bred and raised in Minnesota by
members, or the get of stations owned or
stood by members, shall be eligible to
entry" Both held strongly to the position
and maintained with vig0r that the resi-
dence of the breeder who owned the mare
should determine the locality of the nativity
of the foal They declared that if a mare
was sent to Kentucky from Minnesota and
foaled the first colt III Kentucky and was
again served to the same horse in Ken
lucky and brought back to Minnesota where
she should have foal, the first foal would
not be eligible to our races, while the sec
ond would be eligible. They could see no
Justice or sense i'll such rule Mr.. Dan
Woodmansee. who was at the meeting OF
the association, when the resolution thus
criticised, was adopted, after the talk pro-
crossed awhile, agreed with MesSrs. DE
Graft and Graves that the resolution was
inconsistent with the rule, and that the two
could not be made to agree. When the
committee adjourned it was with tie gen.
eral understanding that meeting of the
association would be called for Jan. ) next
for the purpose of considering the adyisa-
bility of repeating the resolution referred
to. 1t was the purpose of the committee to
elect a number of members, and a list was
was laid over to the next meeting.
