faster classes. At the time it was first
advanced and published in the opening
pages of the second volume of the Trot-
ting Register, the thoroughbred element
IN the records of trotting was so exceed
ingly small as to seem direct contra
dictlon to earlier theories that had been
urged in favor of thoroughbred blood by
would-be teachers in the little-explored
fields of breeding the trotter. But now
that the earlier fallacy(O should have
been oblterated by fifteen years of Wig
orous stamping out it dares to return
again. From "a little cloud no bigger
than mans hand,' just to be seen on
the edge of the horizon, it has assembled
with astonishing impudence to the re-
NTH. True it has not grown prodigious-
ly III area nor spread itself athwart the
entire armament. AS Artemus Ward
would have said "That does not appear
to be its little biz" 1t does not yet COW
er so much sky as to be at all alarming
were it not for the particular part of the
sky which it covers. Right in the face
OF the MONDAY sun it takes its place
and casts its image on the breeding fields
below. You cannot look up without see
ing it, If you look down you feel that it
is above you. And there it remains,
file to gnaw, for those who like it not.
Heigh-ho! Why should the spirit of
prophecy be so out of joint? But no
matter, there is the old remedy. The
mountain would not go to Mohammet,
so, like sensible man, Mohammet went
to the mountain.
