not altogether unexpected, created n
little excitement in horse circles, say
the San Francisco Chronicle. The de
cision affects California owners almos
entirely. The records were rejected OF
purely technical grounds inasmuch 8
the Stockton officials did not comply il
all respects with thee requirements o
the rules hitherto supposed to sppl,

stockton were accepted by both the
National Trotting association and tbs
American Trottipg association, but tht
American Trotting Register association

dent, is responsible for the sweeping
ruling. Whether the fact that William
Russell Allen owns Kremlin had any.
thing to do with the rejection OF the
stockton records is a much mooted
| question. At all events, Kremln is
made the king of stations by the action
OF an association which is presided over
by this most interested party.
w. Kelley, the secretary of the
Pacific Coast Breeders association, said
Yesterday: LAS the association has re-
lected the California records 1t should
also refuse to accept eastern records
where the regulations were not compiled
With. At this distance it looks as if g
discrimination had been made againet

The rejection of these records is much
more serious than one would suppose.
Every one of these horses has now in
Cured bar. For instance, while Sweet
Roses 2:254 does not stand as record
it does stand as bar, and she will not
be eligible to start in 3minute or 2 80
class race, but must start in 1926 or
faster class, just as if she had record
OF :2534.
All these trotters and PAGERS were
taken to Stockton at great expense,
and all were started in good faith by the
owners and drivers. The Stockton man
agement charged every owner the sum
OF $25 to start for record on their track.
Instead of getting records they have all
secured bars.
numDeT OF HOrSeIueu interviewed
yesterday appear to think that every
man who owned horse that has Sc,
cured bar at Stockton has good
cause for an action against the Stockton
association. The association took the
money in return for benefits that horse
owners were to obtain by securing low
records, and now, at the last minute
according 10 the dispatch in Tuesdays
Chronicle, the Stockton secretary has
notified Registrar Steiner that he doeI
not think he can furnish the required
evidence and that he will not be in at
tendance at the adjourned meeting. Il
certainly looks as if the Stockton man
agement should be held responsible.
The rules in regard to record meeting
were changed about year ago. Accord
ing to common report the attention o
thr Stockton management was drawn t.
this fact, but President Shippee repliet
that the association was conversant will
the rules. What the owners will do il
this matter remains to be seen, but thu
Stockton association is sure to lose credi
with California breeders, and it may be
come involved in litigation over tn
record meetings Of 1892.
