Of Iona s, g.17,h the ox-queen OF the
Maine turf Mr. d NJ. Allen, the breeder
and long the owner of Iona ;, has some

ono OF the cases before tnc DOitrtl ol re-
view of the n. T. A. recently held in
New York City, was the suspension of c.
II. Nelson for non payment of entries at
Rlgby park. Mr.. Nelson's defense was
the fact that the association owed him
$1,000 from which he asked to have the
entry fees deducted. The answer to this
was that the association had reorganized
aud all its old debts were wiped out.
The term "wipcd out is a little indcf-
mite here, but 1t is evident that the debt
due Mr.. Nelson has not been wiped
out, and the incident only goes to show
how much easier it is for track to n
pudlatc its obligations and get back into
good standing than it is for II horseman.
In the case of an owner who Is delinquent
the decree of suspension rests against
him until his dues are paid, and not only
against him but against his horse or
horses In case of an association it has
only to go to smash, and repudiate all its
debts, rcorganize and presto all the past
is forgotten. The demand of the hour is
II governing body that will tie up the rich
associations track just rs readily as il
does the poor mans horse. Such body
does not exist at present -Trotter X
