hold a very different opinion on this

a man whose opinions are regarded by

that when they so use it he would put

ABOUT REGISTRATION.
Trotting Horse breeders Have Been Too
Careless About 1t.

The general and universal depression
in the trotting horse business during
the last three years has bred great
deal of nexcusable carelessness on the
part of breeders and owners of stations
bearing on the subject of establishing
and verifying pedigrees, says the
Western Horseman. AS 10 well known,
under the ruling of the Register asso-
citation an animal cannot be registered
without a certificate from the owner Of
the sire, or his accredited agent, and
also a certificate from the owner of the
dam at the time she was bred. During
recent years all owners have been more
or less recreant about registering, and
many standard but unregistered ami
mails have changed hands, and many
who bred standard mares to standard
sires have neglected to have their hold
ings registered. AS the future looks
much brighter for the breeding inter-
est, owners are growing proportionate-
ly concerned about registration, aud
at this point they encounter trouble,
as parties whc bred standard animals
and sold them unregistered, and owners
OF stations to which mares were bred
manifest a great indifference about
furnishing evidences to establish breed
ing when called upon. This is not right.
Any breeder who sells an animal unreg-
istered is in honor bound to promptly
furnish evidence of breeding when
called upon, and an owner of sire who
will not promptly furnish the evidence
OF breeding when called upon. and IN
cwner of sire who will moi promptly
furnish the evidence that o certain
mare was bred to his horse on certain
date when applied to for that evidence,
is not entitled to the patronage Of other
breeders.

oSE.HILH CHAMPIONSHIP.
Will BE Settled at the j.. A, w, Ma
tionaI Meet in August.


There is much more In the winning Of
professional l.. A. w. championship
than the mere Rarnering of the medal
emblematic of the feat--there is its ad-
vertising value, for instance, which, to
a professional rider especially, is of no
inconsiderabe value nowadays. Ad-
yertising is dollars and cents to the
present day cash prize rider, and the
winning of national championships is
most excellent adyertising-it follows,
therefore, that the four championship
events on the programme will be Bit
terly contested by the flower Of Ameri-
can professionalism.
The mile championship at the ma
tional meet in Philadelphia, August 4
to 7, Will awaken especial interest from
the fact that its decision will bring to
light that long sought individual-the
'97 mile champion. The results of
match races between two riders with
high percentages of winnings at the
close of long season indicate very
little. Annual championships, run off
In the height of the season, when all
the men are at their best, and under the
management of the greatest cycling or
ganizatiop In the world, offer the only
proper means of positively determining
what men are the "top-notchers" at the
various distances.
From which il is apparent that the
| professional and amateur champion
| ships of the United States, which will
| be decided at Willow Grave on August
and next, will be well worth coming

JOIN THE L. A. w.
If You Are a Bicyciist, the League
Will Help YOu.

Although the membership of the
League of American Wheelmen Is in.
creasing at tremendous rate 1t is ex-
pected that during the next two months
the growth will be greatly in excess
of that recorded since the first of the
present year, as far as the state of
pennsylvania is concerned. The an
nual meet of the national organization,
which will be held at Philadelphia
the first week of August, is expected to
attract at least ten thousand visitors
for the four days entertainment, which
is to be extended to the members of
the organization, and as the national
meet will probably interfere with the
holding of any state meet in Pennsyl-
vania this year, a very large number
of Pennsylvania members will un-
doubtedly make a special effort to at
tend the national affair. ..
The programme of the national meet
will provide four days of the best en-
tertainment which can be thought of,
and such members as are fortunate
enough to be able to attend will find
that the fraternal spirit Of the organi-
cation is one of its best features, If the
records of past annual meets may be
taken as fair examples.
To such wheelmen as are not MEM
bers, but propose Joining the ranks be-
fore this meet at Philadelphia takes
place, with a view of taking advant-
age of the invitation extended, word
of advise may not be out of place. At
the meet the ticket of membership will
be absolutely necessary, as in an or
ganization of such size it is really the
| only credential that can be accepted
| and it has always been customary to
require the presentation of this card
| by any member in order that his iden-
| tity may be proved before any courte-
| sizes of the meet are extended. AS IL
| requires from three weeks to a month
| for an application for membership tc
| go through and for the applicant tC
| receive his credentials, an early ap-
plication is desirable on the part of any
wheelmen anywhere who may not al
| present belong to the league, but who
| wish to join in order to be entitled tc
all privileges at the time of the big
| annual jollihcation.
Applications for membership may be
made through any member of the or
ganizatlon, or sent direct to the Office
of the State division, 66S Bourse, Phil
| adelDhia,
