hereafter changed. Mike Bowerman stated

| Breeders Association at Lexington. The
| Goshen meeting in the Orange County cir
| cult will enforce the new rule in a way
| that will shut out all horses wearing hop
| pies. .rI b. .-.
Mike Bowerman'S action in recommend
| ing the practical repeal of the rule against
| hoppIes came with surprise TO the friends
| of the Kentucky hOrSeman, who knew that
| he was personally bitterly opposed to hop
pies. Bowerman explained his vote by say
| ing he believed the ", T. A., could not en-
force the rule as it stood, and he favored
| the repeal of any rule which could not be
enforced.
| BY vote of "A to the congress decided
TO do away with the so called license sys-
I tenn for drivers, and all provisions Of the
| turf code relating TO that discredited
| scheme were accordingly repealed. NJ. N.
/ Morse and one or TWO others said in cast
| ing their votes for repeal, that they be
! lieved the license system to be a good
| thing, but the track managers would not
| enforce II.
| On the recommendation OF the rule COM
mittee the congress loosened up that part
of rule q which provides for the punish
ment of fraud in pulling horses. Ever
since the y. T. A. was organized the rules
have procided that the parties implicated
in a steal of the kind should be expelled
| The provision was so modified today that
hereafter the judges of a race may satisfy
the turf law by suspending the guilty par
ties for one year.
A long discussion took place when a
proposition was made to restore 10 the
judges OF A race their old-time authority
to declare off the deciding heat when fraud
is involved. a majority Of the proxy hold
ers viewed the matter from the horse-own-
ers standpoint. seemingly ignoring the
race goer's interest, and the importance Of
making the best horse win. and the So
called Oakland Baron Rule was allowed to
stand.
The recommendation Of the committee on
rules to the effect that the provisions OF
sections ! and of rule 4S, with reference
to timers and bar time. be not enforced,
was unanimously agreed upon. Section
OF the aforementioned rule, which read
time made on non association tracks
shall be records of bars, as the case may
be. the same as II made over association
tracks" was abolished, and the following
substitute agreed upon: Amy public race
at less than one mile or exceeding half
mile shall be regarded as irregular. and
time made in any such race shall create
