Just at this season the horsemen
Of the country are moving about
making preparation for the coming
racing season, although ii is several
months off yet. The trotting horse
people are at work on their colts, and
in the South they are Jogging them
right along. The big trottinG stakes
offered for 1892 have created a. un-
usually great interest in the event. OF
the coming season. The owners OF
colts are especially interested, as they
cannot afford to ignore the demand
Tor early trotters and stake winners.
The buyers of trottIng and pacing
horses OF to-day want performing
trotters, and every breeder in the
country well sees the demand. Be-
sides the various associations have
offered stakes for trotters and PAGERS
with such liberal terms that makes 1t
profitable business for owner and
} breeder to train his promising colts.
In the early days of the trOtting turf
the entrance fees to stakes were 30
very bright that owners could not
afford to enter their most promising
colts with an assurance that they
would make money on the general
windups, even though they should
win a prominent place in the stakes.
these exorbitant entrance fees and
have Iabored under these disadvant-
ages. But new era has dawned
upon the tIotting interest in Tennes-
see, and now we have two assOcia-
tons in this state that hang up $780,
600 each, and one of these Is right
here in Columbia, the best town in

county in the state, where the trotter
