coupocooq Win racing In any capacity. he allows
himself 10 become grevously disturbed when any one
commants unfavorably upon the bad starts which
he, like every other starter that ever lived, some
times makes. and he Is inclined to think that any
writkr who refers to such starts in plain blunt
mshDer must be moved by feelings OF personal
cnmity He is entirely mistaken. No one likes to
dwell ON the unpleasant features OF racing. But 1t
s an imperative duty to point out fragrant errors,
no matter who makes them. Only by keen CRITICISM

good. Many of them are positively brilliant. But
