demnatlon which has been meted out to
cross-country sport for years past. The
New York associations have abandoned
them as conducive to many evils, on
various occasions, but they have been
Just as regularly revived, and always on
supposed higher plane AS a mat
ter OF fact, 1t looks as if the sport had
sunk lower and lower, until now a
jumping event only brings out a lot of
skates, which are put to jumping be-
cause they are incapable of earning
their oats on the fiat

forehand, and they always will have it
that way. 1t is very much of a ques-
tion as to whether this is the case, as
about half the starters usually fall,
and to fix the race beforehand would
DC rather hazardous project Never

about the modern steeplechase, and
there seems no good reason for encour-
aging such exhibitions"
