IL, t.
executive committee Of the National Asso-
citation of Trottips Horse Breeders here to-
day, it was unanimously decided to estab-
lsh a new stud book for tho registration of
high class trotters exclusively. This move
snent is the sequel to tho recent action OF
the American Register company OK Chicago
in admitting PAGERS to their register on an
equality with trotters. This sentiment
among Eastern breeders is almost unit
against the admission OF the PAGER to the
trotting standard. Headquarters Will be
located in New York, with e. G. Cue of
Des Moines, Iowa, as recording secretary.
The rules are as follows

association are either Grst-class records or

ptitutes a second class record.

confer standard rank except as provided by

viding the horse SO timed is not distanced in
