ing succinct suggestions Of the Boston
Globe
It Is one Of the sports that interests all
Glasses Of people and IL destined to be one
Of tho leading and most popular sports in
the country. The popularity of profession

large crowds In attendance at the national
circuit meets The general interest taken

has realized this fact for some time and
has been consulting his associates with that
object I'm view There Is a demand for an
official judge, an official referee, AN official
timer, an official clerk Of the course and
an official hapdicapper
The racing board should be established

should be- n salaried Office. There should
be clerk TO keep Che records of tho inen
on the national circuit and the champion
ship &C the ond Of the season should be de-
cided by tho racing board. The adoption
OF such plan would add an increased in
terest TO the sport, which would lfaye sub.

yerting to the happy days of long
ego, when they were children, and
often they awake at night to recall
those scenes of yore which gave to
life a charm, and which now come
in later years as visions of JOY.
There is tender spot i'll every
heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the
weary, weary struggle we make
day by day to build in our new
Eldorado a home to which our
children in future time will turn,
as we turn now to the old place
where our loved ones in the eve
ming of life await the final sum-
mons.
