yesterday and was burned. He had
two cows and a two year old colt in
the barn at the time. The COWS We're
got out, but the colt was burnt to a

NEW YORK, March 16-There could be
no better illustration CT the effect of
competition than is obtained by COM
pairing the trotting turf OF to-day with
what II was lew years ago. Before
the sulky had attained the wide popular
ity 1t now enjoys there were only a
few places where anything like an ex-
tensive programme could be prontably
conducted. The first series OF meetings
OF any Importance occupied only one
month in midsummer and was KNOWN
as the Quadrilateral Circuit. Out OF
this grew the Grand Circuit, the route
of which, though frequently varied as
TO its stopping places, has maintained
its general direction for nearly quar-
ter or century. To the associations
which have composed IL much credit is
due for raising the earning capacity OF
the trotter from a modest sum 10 snug
fortune, such as Robert }, AliX and other
high-class campdlgnerS secured Tor their
lucky owners last season.
The success which has attended the
Grand Circuit has also been one OF the
prime causes of the rivalry which II mas
stirred UP. one result or this is that
the active season for the harness racers,
instead of being confined to a few weeks,
now extends over SIX months and III
cludes every State in the Union. rer-
haps the most noteworthy change from
old methods is the plan OF claiming dates
and making up circuits far In advance
of the time wnen the actual events are
to take place. This mas been particular
ly the case since the beginning OF the
present year, and already the racing
calendar for 1895 includes over 800 meet
ings. The distribution of these is best
seen from the following table, which
gives the number in those states which
