Gossip About Horses, Horsemen
and Their Doings.

Judges of trOtting races all over the
country will bear in mind that the
rules have been changed for several
years so that horses which we're for
merly distanced for fouls, OF other mat
tiers chargeable to the driver and not
the horse, are now ruled out instead. A
horse can now be diStanced only for his
own lack of speed or faulty gait The
idea is that the reputation of the horse
is unwarrantably njured when the per-
manent record of races shows that he
was distanced, when the driver and not
the horse was to blame, as the record
does not show the entire facts, and the
presumption would be that the horse
was behind the flag.

came the three fast performers, Little
Brown jug. 2:11%; Brown Hal, 2:12115,
and Hal Pointer, 2:13. The admirers of
the pacing horse will always speak of

Chicago and owned by Senator Hearst,
was born at Hobartville, Australia, and
