How Admiral Goidsb CROUCH Laid Down

Admiral GoldsborOugh. says Kate E. Thomas
in Kate Fields Washington. 1t is not in
any way an orthodox utterance, but to be
perfectly truthful the admiral made no pre-
tensions to being orthodox in matters either
sacred or profane, as the incident will bear
witness. IL was during a trip to the Medi-
terranean when the admiral was in COM

every Sunday the men should be piped up.
The first Sunday after this permission had

noted that, with The exception of the ad-

written for THE MORNING CALL,

An Eastern paper devoted to horse mat
tiers recently published a few disparaging
comments upon CALIFORNIA; claim that this
will eventually become the great horse
raising State of the Union, calling atten-
ton 10 the fact that ell our great sires came
from the East, and claiming that merely
the climatic accident of favoring winter
seasons, having rendered it possible for our
breeders to develop youngsters earlier than
has heretofore been done in the East, has
given California a temporary advantage.
The innovation of covered tracks for win
ter training work in the East will, the
writer argues, render early developing pos
sIble there, and we may look again to the
East for the worldbeaters. This may be.
1t is quite possible that in the next two or
three years that region may show us some
very fast youngsters. SO many California
bred horses have recently been imported 10
the East that it will not surprise us to hear
