in the state need considerable discipline
ing. 1t is no trick to lay up heats or
even lose race with the best horse with
some of the old fogies that sometimes
officiate at the district fairs. These
judges are generally estimable men of
standing in the community, but they
do not know enough of the racing game
to have an intelligent opinion about tho
merits of the horses No driver would
dare attempt to do any crooked work
with the right kind of men in the judges
stand.
This is one of the main things to be
remedied before the district association
can be made success. Irksome con-
ditions have made Stockton unpopular
with turfmen, and thus it is all along
the line. What is needed in California
is manager for the entire circuit who
knows his business from A to 2.
John Splan tells an amusing anecdote
about preacher who had been present.

Trotters." 1t interested the good man
very much, and he devoured it from COW

would enter a protest. MY goodness,
Hiram, you aren't reading that race
horse book yet, 1 hope" But Hiram
was, and he stayed with it until he
finished the last page. One evening af-

who was reading over by the lamp:
Mary, aren't you coming to bed at a y

a minute longer. l want to see whether
they beat Kansas Chief this race or not.
1t looked awhile back as IL they had
