THE BREEDING QUESTION
Ma settled bv the Race Between Paio
Alto and Jack.

" a. rtttie0 oF the race GetNrcn faio
Alto and Jack.
The great race between Jack and
Palo Alto has been decided at last and
with it a question upon which horse
men have always differed. Breeders
VINO beheved IN the thoroughbred trot-
ter looked forward 10 Jack winning, as
he comes from pure trothng stock.
PalO Altos dam vas a running horse,
and on this account they said that he
could not stand the excitement
OF being pushed IN a race. This
proved % be fact. The
running qualities showed themselves
and tne Californian left his feet in
three heats, making 4 desperate effort
% run int the stretch. His driver,
Marvin, had all he could do 10 mold
hun. Ca the other hand, Jack was as
steady as clOck-work and this steadl-
ness won HIM the race. This test VIII
probably mean n change OF breeding
among many breeder throughout the
country, and undoubtedly q large loss of
money 10 those VINO have been crossing
the strains. Had Palo Alto won.
everything would have been switched
around the other way. The perfOr-
nance of the son of Electloueer
In the second heat, however, was Won
derful and may serve 90 tide over the
defeat 10 a certain extent. IL IS doubt
tul II another horse IN the world could
have done what he did. While PalO
Alto a undoubtedly the fastest trOtter,
Jack is TIE better race horse Of the two
and this was exactly the question that

Alcrv0n should be matched next. and

be as easily defeated as Palo Alto.

cup TOO long. Again. there Ia a doubt
whether he would ever be the same
man again. even II he did apply him
self. In the days when Hanlsn was
the pride Of al America he had 20
exert himself 20 the utmost. and his
muscles were strained and developed %
their utmost tension. When an
athlete who brings only certain muscles
into play reachesa certain pointand tnen
allows them 10 relax, It Is seldom that
he can bring them back again. This
seems 20 be the case with Hanlan.
