| turfry STAKE ZOE 1880
The Trotting Horse Breeders Association Of
Maryland and the District Of Columbia held
their annual meeting at the rooms OF the Pim-
lico Driving Club at Baltimore yesterday and
transacted a great amount of business that will
1 prove OF vital importance to the breeding es-
adjustments OF the state and the speed con-
! tests that will be held in these parts
resume Of the years work was read, which
showed a marked improvement in the associa-
ton over the year 1880. and that after paying
| all expenses the treasury showed q balance OF
| S1.2s5.72, exclusive of this years dues 1t was
decided at the meeting that a futurity stake for
foals of 1891 be opened, to be trotted as two
| year-olds in 1898, the nominations to close
| March l. 1892
The constitution was amended 30 that only
| white men will be allowed TO drive in races
! held under the auspices of the association II
was also argued that the association Join the
National Trotting Association, and to employ u
paid starting judge at their meeting and not to
| depend upon this necessity in the person of a
member The question OF amalgamatng the
| association with those of Delaware and Virginia
has been under consideration for a long time,
| and yesterday some definite action taken
upon 1t The representation from Delaware,
including Drs. j. Mccoy and Bradford. were
admitted to tine association under the same
conditions as a breeder OF Maryland. The Vir-
ginia side Of the issue will be settled by a COM
mlttee that has been appointed 10 confer with a
similar committee for these plaintiffs.
An issue was then brought up that created
the liveliest kind of discussion. 1t was that q
change be make In the constitution, to provide
that any colt bred by "a member out of the
state to be eligible to start in the stakes Of the
association must be brought to tho state when
eight months old An argument was advanced
that member breeding colt out of the state
and letting him remain there until time for
breaking and then bringing him to race in
Maryland had an undue advantage over the
man who bred and developed his col. at home.
This brought Mr.. Emory 10 the floor, who an
nounced with much emphasis that he thought
it was a deplorable condition of affairs that the
members who are breeders should be dictated
to by other members who never bred a horse
The amendment was adopted IN its original
FORM The new members elected were DR..
Charles d. Boyle of western Maryland and Mr..
Harry J. Brooks.
The election Of officers followed and resulted
this way: Col l.. Victor BauShman, president;
Gen Felix Agnus, hrst vice presidents Gen. E.
7. Beale, second vice president, and benjamin
White, secretary and treasurer. The old execu-
| tive board was unanimously reelected
