rock on which 50 many of this school
unknOwingly have wrecked themselves.
So far has this idea been carried that in
recent issue of a Chicago journal,
which runs a very clever department for
the horse, and three for tallow, in
write-up of the trotting-6 bred PAGER Mon
bars, the writer, who maintained the cor
rectness of this theory, that sit makes
no difference how you breed your trot-
ting horse, you are Just as likely to get
PAGER as a trotter." What pity for
the pacing world that this is not true.
As some of our readers may be aware
by this time, we are running this de-
partment in the interest of the pacing
horse-trotting bred or pacing bred
they are all one to us. We have watched
their steady progress in popular favor
with pride and noted their achievements
with eXultation. 1t is therefore with re-
greet that we are forced to differ from
our friends on this question. 1t costs
us pang to prick this buoble-but
only temporary regret; for experience
has taught us that simple honesty IS at
all times the best policy, and that, with
man or horse. the temporary advantage
gained by deviatlng from this line is
sooner or later overbalanced by the
revulsion which is sure to follow. What
better thing could the pacing men have
than for the idea to prevail among
hraa1nre thut ntulras 6innrpOnp
how you breed your trotting horses, you
are just as likely to get PAGER as a
trotter," or, as suggested further on in
the article on Monbars, the whole thing
rests on the discretion of the driver-a
little shortening of the toes, lengthening
the shoes, checking up the head, taking
of the weights, and-presto, away sails
slick PAGER in defiance of all the laws
of breeding which have prevailed for
thousands of years, and all the laws of
sense which unfortunately have never
been allowed to prevail at all.
In promulgating this theory these
writer's overlook the fact that rule
must work both ways. If the gaits are
so interchangeable as all that, we would
like to have some of these gentlemen
come down and change the gaits of some
of our Tennessee PAGERS. a Tennessee
PAGER, well bred, dyed in the wool, at t
flying trOt would be one of the novelties
we would go miles TO see and pay al
expenses. With some experience and {
''sarchin eye, as the darkey says, W.
have heard of three, seen one, and none
of them could go back very far on ethe
J side.
As we said above, nothing in our mint
could do more harm to the trottng
business than for such an idea to become
general. Sheared of all rubbish.lt means
simply that II breeder can't breed wha
he wants to breed. This is contrary t
common sense and human experience
; Trotting-bred PAGERS pace because some
where and at some time they got dosC
of pacing blood. "Incongruous con
formation" compromise" betweel
faculties and form, structural incOn
f gruities,' "wth changeableness o

LORD CLINTON Al LANSING.

Clark's Horse Review says in its re-
port of the August meeting at Lansing,
Mich:
The most delightful weather imagin-
able, good crowds and profit of several
thousand dollars on the right side of the
books characterized the August meeting
of the Lansing Driving Park association.
The track is on all sides conceded to be
one of the fastest regulation mile courses
m the country. Indeed, there has scarce
ly been heat winner during the entire
meeting who has not taken something
from his former mark. Perhaps the
most sensational achievement of the
week was Lord Clnton's performance on

A SPLENDID WORK.

For ten years the well-known horse
man, Joseph Battell Of Bread Loaf Inn,
Rirton, VT, has been engaged upon a
work known as the Morgan Register, in
which the celebrated breed of horses
known as Morgans are traced and their
pedigrees preserved. The first volume has
been given to the public. 1t is, to all
those interested in equine literature. the
most entertaining Of books, while its me-
chanical features are exquisite. Nothing
has been spared in the makeup of this
book. 1t abounds with photographs of
representatives of the Morgan strain of
blood and here and there throughout the
book are illustrations especially of Yer
mont scenery that are as picturesque as
they are natural. We recognize in many
of these productions of the camera places
of interest familiar to us. The work
should have an extensive sale. 1t repre-
sents the labor of years. Patient, thor
ough and industrious Investigations have
produced this splendid work. 1t reflects
credit upon Mr.. Battell and his assistants
and Will remain a monument Illustrative
of theme which will increase in interest
and importance as the years fade away
