glad to learn that the eighth volume Of
Wsllace's American Trotting Register has
just been published by the Wallace Trot-
ting Register Co =. No. $50 Broadway, New
York. This work IL published under the
supervision of the National Association of
Trot,ing Horse Breeders, and 10 the only
authority on trotting pedigrees. This vol
ume contains about 80 pages more than
volume seven, and Is In style uniform With
the preceding volumes. The only feature
about 1t by which it may be distinguished
from the previous volumes is in the marked
proportional decrease in the number Of
standard stations. The price of this vol
series, viz 81 90. postage paid. Volumes
one and two of the Register have long
been out Of print. but we are pleased
to learn that il Is the intention Of the com

demonstrated that this annual volume has
become necessity to all intelligent trottpg
men. The volume will be much larger
than any heretofore published, but
will be sold at the old price, $3.50 sent

place the breeding Of the trotter on an in
telligen, scientific basis, and to preserve
the records of its breeding. as Mr.. J. ii.
