The Kite VS.. Regulation Track.

From the Spirit of the Times.l
When the results of the first meet
ing on the kite-shaped track at In
dependence, Ia, had been fully and
fairly digested by the hOrsemen and
breeders of the country the Spirit
opened its columns for the expressions
of public opinion as to the merits OF
the new track and especially as to its
speed-assisting power. Leading
horsemen from all sections of the
continent took part in the discussion,
and the subject received the intelli-
gent and careful attention of men
eminently able to practically discuss
the matter. A critic looking over
those letters would be surprised to
find that the advocates OF the kite as
rule either denied altogether that
the shape of the track made it any
faster or they minimiZed that par
tIcular quality to the lowest point.
They insisted that it was the soil at
Independence and the perfect shape
in which the track was kept. 1t
might possibly be a second faster
than the regulation track, but, If so,
that was the outside limit of the ad-
vantage. Since then year has
rolled around, and we are face to
face with its results. Records have
fallen as thick as autumn leaves, and
new 2:30 performers have gone into
the charmed circle by squadrOns. Al
Columbia, Tenn, the worlds race
record and the three fastest consecu-
tive heats record was recently made
over a kite-shaped track. On the
kite-shaped track at Stockton, Cal.
Sunol trotted in 2:0814 and Palo Alto
in 2:O634. Unless the advocates of the
soil theory can prove that the land al
Columbia, Tenn, and Stockton, Cal.
is exactly like the soil of the cele.
brated Independence track, they will
be compelled to give up their sol
theory and acknowledge that it Is the
shape of the track that gives 1t speed
