There can be little doubt that for

arrested Our system has degenerated
into the theory that the race horse is
rare exotic. We had got into the bad
system with our racers that we seem to
be drifting into with our yachts. Upton
may be getting good advertisement
dong yachting any good is another mat
ter. The vessels. are unfit fo~ any use
or purpose whatever and while they are
capable OF doing a great rate of speed
over snort, easy courses, they cannot
carry their own rigging over a long one.
They are equal to the five furlong brutes
that for so many years we pandered to
in horse racing. The art of training and
rldlng a horse in long distance race
was lost and everything on the English
turf has become artificial. The result Of
all this treatment is what we can now
barely hold our own against the foreigner.
we ought to endeaVor to produce more
