WITH HORSES AND H0RsEMEN
Modification of Rules of the
National Trotting Association
the Interesting Feature.

While most western reinsmen travel
around the tracks under the rules of the
American Trotting association, they will be
interested In the special meeting of the
National Trotting association that will prob
ably be called as a consequence Of the recent
meeting Of the Board Of Review OF that body,
This interest will arise from the fact that
the National association will very probably
rescind certain Objectionable and radical
rules which 1t adopted at its last session
and which the American association also
considered and absolutely refused to touch.
Three important rules will be discussed at
the meeting II 1t is held.
The most unpopular rule passed by the
last congress Of the National Trotting asso-
citation Is what is called the %anti-hobble
rule, the application Of which was post
poned for one year, but which will come
into operation next season unless repealed.
Secretaries OF associations are afraid that II
the rule is enforced owners Of horses who
wear hobbies will only enter their nags on
American association tracks and that in SELF
defense they will have to Join that associ-
alton. The owners are naturally loud in
their denunciation of the rule and the manu-
facturers Of the obnoxious straps are also
loud In their protests. On the other hand
1t Is admitted that the use Of hobbies Is dan.
gerous to life and limb OF both driver and
horse and OF every other horse in the race;
that many drivers Of reputation, such as Ed
Geers, will not drive a horse which wears
hobbies, and that such a horse Is valueless
as a roadster after his racing days are over.
But the greatest argument OF all Ia that you
cannot improve q breed of horses by me-
chanical methods.
Another rule to be attacked is the one
requiring all drivers to take out licenses.
While this rule has been complied with by
the great body Of the drivers, it has not
been enforced by the associations, and there
have been a few conspicuous instances OF
men who have refused to take out licenses
and yet have been permitted to drive. The
rule 10 a good one. but II associations will
not enforce II II Is better to remove 1t
from the statute book. Prior to the last
session OF the congress judges had the
power to declare the last heat OF a race
void II they thought there was fraud In the
race. The last congress deprived them OF
that power, but authorized them to expel
any person whom they thought had no.
tried to win. The experience Of the last
season goes to show that judges will not
expel on suspicion. and 1t is proposed to
again give them the power to call an extra
heat.
1t is also probable that the rule passed
two years ago against laying up heats will
be modified. It is a notorious fact that at
many Of the leading tracks the rule has
been strictly enforced one day and ignored
the next. 1t is a peculiarly worded rule
and is a. follows: Every heat In . race
Omaha daily bee., 1898-12-18

shall DO contested by every horse in the
race, and an honest ondeavor made by every
rider and driver to win. (This shall not be
construed to mean that when a horse Is
hopelessly beaten, or from a bad start or
other unavoidable causes the chances 10
win are destroyed. the driver must force
his horse to his utmost capacity, but to do
away as far as possible with the pernlcious
practice Of laying UP heats.) Should a
rider or driver be found guilty OF laying UP
a heat. he shall be fined, suspended or ex-
PEELED" 1t will be seen at a glance that
the application Of this rule Is left COM
pletely to the wisdom OF the judges, and
that Is Just what the drivers complain OF.
They say, and say Justly, that the average
amateur Judge Is not capable Of deciding
when a horse Us laid up for Just and su,-
fcient cause. The probability is that all
three rules will be modified at q special
meeting Of the congress.
The year 1898 has been the banner one for
the greatest number Of trotting and pacing
horses that have, during the season, en-
tered the magic circle Of the 2:20 list. The
records show that about $50 horses have
dropped into the 2:20 list the past season,
and that the PAGER lie coming to the front,
and, while q few years since the trotters
outnumbered the PAGERS, now the side
wheefers are in the lead as to numbers.
Ten years ago q 2.30 trotter was fast enough
to 90 to the races with. Now, unless a horse
can beat 2:20 three times. he is not worth
taking away from home. In fact, to be Of
any account in the Grand circuit meeting
or at the large associated tracks he must
b able to 90 three heats better than 2:14.
The showing, this year, Is q wonderful one
xyhan - L. ,a~oo,Aorad Sho& t,,t - Snu,
ago the 2:20 list contained the names Of less
than 800 2:2o ~trotters. It is small wonder
that Great Britain and all Europe send buy
ers of ~trotters to the markets Of the United
States. Breeders Of trotting horses are
greatly encouraged by the present state Of
affairs in the trotting world and con-
ldently expect q profitable business for the
next ten years or more, II not a continuous
and over increasing demand for the monarch

Christmas. Eighteen Ninety-EiEht,

A year ago, a little year.
But, oh! it seems full ten years long
Since one she loved was here-was here,
And with her sang the Christmas song,
The Christmas song of mirth and cheer,
one year ago, one weary year.
Alone she sits and thinks of him,
The years last sands are sinking low.
The empty room is strangely dim
Save for the candles yellow glow.
Almost one fancies ghosts about; >
The sparkling Yule-tide stars are out.
She sings, with what a quavering note,
Her grieving thoughts are far away,
A sob is trembling In her throat,
How shall she sing this song today?
Old memories at her heart-strings clutch
Ones native land may ask too much!
And yet. there may be tender ghosts
That steal from shores contiguous
To waves that sweep from our W coastsa
And wistfully yearn over us;
Such shadowy friends, so close they stand
One almost feels the vanished hand.
And many a heart this Christmas-tids
Keeps vigil, for its dear ones gone.
A lonely hearth, a chair beside 1
The embers once that redly shone.
And many II heart must mourn its fate
This Christmas, eighteen ninety-eight.
