 an appearance and fix things up if we
 got into trouble, but as soon as we got into any trouble he didn't show up. declared MT. Dallen.

 erning the racing on the Grand circuit. - Scott Hudson Of Lexington, Ky. who
 was spokesman for the delegation, de-
 clared that the outlook for the large race owners was gloomy unless some ' changes in the rules were made. He ' asked that the number of heats in a Y given race be limited to fire and that I the purse be divided as the horses app Ir pear at the end of the fifth heat. He
 contended that there should be rule r limiting an owner to one entry for 3. n given race and that there should be a | limit to the number of horses to start in any race.
