good and should attract speedy horses.
A discussion of the trotting prospects
may properly include something about
the rules. The National Trotting I'm
ion Of Great Britain, an organization
which has borrowed most of its ideas
from this side of the Atlantic, has re-
Gently adopted the American rules.
They might have introduced some
changes with profit, as is shown by the
many cases of fraud exposed every
season.
One of the greatest evils which hon
est trotting turfmen have to deal with
is the professional ringer he is to
be met with in every section of the
country where trotting meetings are
held. A ringer" is a fast horse en-
tered under another name than the one
he is known by in slow classes, where 1t
is an easy thing for him to win race
after race and put money in the pocket
OF his dishonest owner. OF course a
ringer is entered in races in section Of
]
the country where he is not known. As
rule the grand circuit is safe from
the ringer, because the horses that race
at grand circuit meetings are the most
prominent ones and are therefore well
known. Honest horsemen fear ringer
as snake in the grass, because they
know not when or whore he will be
met with and he is hard to detect.
Under the rules of the National Trot-
ton Association ringing" is punished
by expulsion, but in spite of being thus
summarily dealt with, when discovered
he does not disappear. More stringent
measures should be taken. Civil laws
should be passed in each State imposing
a heavy penalty upon any one convicted
Of ringing. The State of Maine has
already taken the initiative step by the
Legislature passing a bill creating a
lien upon disguised horse, for entrance
fees and debts contracted on the ring
ing tour Other States should follow
suit. W. X. RICHARDSON.

ence would show up in race for a
horse of Nelson's class goes ten feet in
that little fraction of time. The chances
are good that both will lower their
records.
The contest is especially interesting
because it is the far west against the
far east-California against Maine-the
most delightful climate on the continent
against the most eXasperating, so Tar as
the effects upon human beings are con-
cerned. Certainly the friends of STAN
bOul are building hopes upon climatic
conditions, but they should not forget
that while the Pine Tree State is not
nice place to live during the winter and
can boast of only handful of citizens
free from catarrh, it has produced many
a good horse for the trotting turf with
lungs and bronchial tubes as good as II
they had never known what 1t was to
breathe an atmosphere composed OF
Labrador fog and the germs Of tuber-
culosis.
Another interesting event for the
trotting turfmen will be Mr.. Hamlin's
effort to break the team record OF 2:13
now held by Belle Hamim and Justina.
The former has record Of her own Of
2:12% and Justna Of 2:20. Mr.. Ham
Inns first effort to get them down below
2:l3 will be made at the spring meeting
at Buffalo to be held in few weeks.
AS both animals have wintered well and
are in splendid condition there is every
reason that a new record will be made.
The team has lowered its record every
season thus far since the two handsome
animals were first driven together.
Good judges believe that 2:11 is not
wholly out of the question for this team.
Mr.. Hamlin, by the way, has missed
his old time opponent in debate, that
distinguished gentleman who has turned
his attention from raising fast horses to
building fast ships-Secretary Of the
Navy Tracy. Their rival views on the
question of developed or undeveloped
sires used to eniven the pages OF the
best sporting publications. The Secre-
tary has been made an honorary member
of the reorganized Fleetwood Park As
ISOLATION; his son, Frank, still runs the
MarShland farm of $50 acres in OwegO,
\. Y, and il is not improbable that
when Secretary Tracy lays down the
cares of Office he will again go into the
horse breeding business.
