PRESIDENT KANE SUGGESTS MEANS OF
MAKING ROAD ASSOCIATION
MORE USEFUL.

DR.. II. H. Kane, president OF the Road Drivers
Association of New-York has announced that he
favors broadening the usefulness of his organiza-
tion. He has made many suggestions as 10 what
he thinks should be done to further the interests
of amateur reinsmen, road drivers and for harness
horses in this country.
A meeting of the Executive Committee Of the or
ganization will be held in March. 1901, and II is
thought that many important matters concerning
the future management Of the association will be
acted upon or discussed at length at that meeting.
DR.. Kane has sent printed letter to the members
of the committee, in which he has set forth some
Of his views regarding what action the committee
should take His suggestions are also made for the
benefit of the members of the association at large
and for all persons in sympathy with the work Of
the association He says in his letter that he
favors the abolishment of matinee racing except
under the supervision charge OF a branch Of the
association to be known as the Gentlemen's Driv-
ing Club OF New-York. and the broadening of the
scope Of the association 70 devote much

favor OF having women elected members OF the or
ganzat!on. of holding annual parade and an an
confined to speed" horses exclusively, and of
ishes between trotters, racers and teams on the
Speedway. He suggests that ribbons be awarded
at the end OF each season to the successful COM
petitors IN these fixed brushes on the Speedway
He thinks that these races would not only replace
track racing, hut would be gentlemanly,
would int crest the public and would offend one
provided such brushes were properly managed and
were conducted on week days only.
He further suggests that the association offer
each year special or prizes for the best road
horse, conrorna tion style and level headedness TO
count the fastest PAGER, the fastest trotter, the
fastest trottng team. the fastest pacing team, the
three-year-oId colt owned bred by a member
that shall have made the best record during
the year; the trotting stallion whose get SHALL as
green horses have taken the largest number OF low
records in the year; the whose get shall, as
all OF these horses be shown the annual horse

or prizes for the best amateur driver (ruenber)

during the horse show; for the best essay on lame
ness in the horse some kindred subject, open to
veterinarians in every part of the world, the sub
ject to be announced each year by special com
mittee; for the member who shall have brought to

shall in any year take the largest number Of
