strength of faith in their continued use

prominent trainers. Ed Geers said to
the writer last fall that there was 90
excuse for the use of hopples; that nc
could convert a trotter to the pace or a

drive the converted horse in a race
But as we have pointed out, the vested
rights of owners must be considered
