sualns OF messenger blood IN her veins
She comes of Hambletonian stock

Messenger was imported as a running
horse. Trotting races had not been hssrd
Of IN the year 178S any more than the
Beechar scandal or the telephone. The
Messenger hor ses were trained for running
in the English fashion. As to Messenger
himself he lived to a good old age and died
suddenly of a collie in 1903 on Long Island,
where he was at that time owned. He was
probably the only horse in any country o.
Of any time who was buried with military
honors. A volley of musketry was fired
over his grave.
1t is strange what small snags change the
current of destiny. Running horses were
developing handsomely ia Pennsylvania in
the early days Of the republic. Messenger
at first was taken to Bucks county AMI
kept there q number of years. All went
swimmipgly on, when unexpectedly the
legislature of Pennsylvania passed q law
prohibiting horse racing. That threw the
~fanciers OF the noble sport topsy turvy.
What nsxt9 If horses could not run, they
mig 1t at least trot, though that was but
poor fun. So the development of the
trotter began.
In a few years it began to d avn on horse
men that there were infinite possibiliti es in
tn, trotter as q source of sport. From that
day t. this ths evolution of thu flyer has
continued. If the solemn oil Quaker legis-
latur, hal not passed. that law ayainss
horse racing, We might nsver have had the
American trotter.

NEW York, Nov. 4-The horse show is
going on this week at Madison Square gar
den. 1t is thu third annual exhibition Of
the National Horse Show association of
America.
Fashion in New York smiles On thu horse
show. So she does on thu dog show. She
frowns on walking and roller skating
matches. The two latter are called into
existence and backed by gamblers. Fashion
gasps while she speaks the word. These

for anything.
But there are no gamblers backing the
horse show. Oh, no! / suppose not.
