STAMBOUL'S RECORD.
A WARM DISPUTE AMONG TRoTTING MEN
HOW THE STATIONS WORK COMES TO BE
oUEsTIoNED-GOOD SHOULD RESULT
FROM THE INCIDENTAL GREAT
RACE PLANNED.

FROM THE lNCIDENT-A GREAT
RACE PLANNED.
| The sale Of Stamboul last week caused disputes
in the ranks Of the trotng fraternity. which In the
| end are likely TO benefit everybody in any way
associated with the breeding sale Of trotters. The
question OF records made under various conditions
is almost sure to be settled The STEAMBOAT
case Is singular one. and 1t has caused turfmen from
different parts OF the country TO unite In a common
cause to have the rules In regard to records revised
| and made to conform with those Of the Trottng
| Register Association Tho only rules under which
owners. trainers and trottng horsemen throughout tho
| country have trOtted and In fact the only rules
known to them are those Of the National Troting
! Association. with headquarters at Hartford and the
American Trotting Association which had Its head
quarters at Chicago. The rules Of both associations
| are alike in regard to records. The stockton track
| Is member Of the National Association, and the
| records made this year at that track under the
National rules good, and are technical records.
no matter what action may be taken In the future.
The Trottng Register Association organized
to keep the pedgrees Of the troters accurate and to
| recify errors In pedigres as before given. The
Trottng Register Association ao'orbed "Walaces
Register" and periodical called "Walace's McnthH.'
j. H. stner Of Chicago, is the secretary Of the assod
ation and w. r. Allen, the owner oil kremln, IN
rival of STEAMBOAT for the rottnG record OF stations,
Is the chairman of the executive committee, when de-
cdes all questions pertaining TO the breeding or rec
ords Of animals eligible to be registered in the booh
Of the association.
Ar \ meeting of the Trottng Register Association

seven who knew less tlan the writer about the lro's

II seems strange that bodies like the National ana
Trottng Register associations did not make uhelr
