SADDLE RACING OF
TROTTERS TO BE TRIED

Saddle racing-that is to say, trotters I'M
der the saddles to be taken up in Cleve-
land, Ohio this summer. But few of the
sports in this generation have ever seen
anything of the kind. According to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Years ago racing trotters to saddle was
quite as much part of the trotting sport
racing to harness, but for some reason
it gradually died out until today such a
thing would be looked upon as a decided
novelty. The reason for the decadence of
this branch of the trotting sport is prob
ably due to the great increase in the num-
Der of horses to be trained and raced and
the number of trainers not increasing in
the same proportion. For this reason the
trainers were called upon to handle and
race large stables of horses, and as racing
to saddle is rather strenuous work trainers
have had to devote their time and energies
to driving instead of riding.
Following the depressed conditions of
affairs in 1903 the trottng and breeding
interests of this country were at low ebb
and the advent shortly after of amateur
driving clubs and speedways had much to
do with reviving these interests to their
present healthy condition.
THE amateur hOrSemen of this city were
the leaders in the organization of amateur
driving clubs throughout the country, and
now they propose to launch another plan
for use of the trotter that bids fair to do
much for the horse interests
There are few men who do not love the
association with horses in one way or
another. and many of these have turned

that interest to the horse that can be used
to saddle either in park riding, cross coun-
try riding or polo These men have not
yet learned that there is still another way
of using a horse to saddle, which for rea-
sons may often be more practical and
more interesting than in three ways men
toned. There are few places in this coun-
try where cross country riding is practical.
Polo at best is very expensive and takes
much time and training. Riding in parks
and boulevards becomes somewhat danger
and the increased use of the automobile.
Riding on a prepared track where danger
Is at a minimum and where the added eX-
element of contest can be had Is alto
gether new thing, and offers a most in
teresting sport to those who love to ride.
The conditions for this sport In our
country, and particularly here in Cleveland,
are altogether SO natural and easy that it
would seem only a start was necessary

tablish it on firm and everlasting footing.
with, were products of foreign country.
The trotter is now and has always been
the horse of America. Contests on the
track by trotterS to wagon driven by their
anna teur owners are today fixture, where
only three years ago they were an expert
ment. Such contests these to saddle
should prove even more interesting and val
liable. AS a sport there could be nothing
that offers so much for so little outlay.
Extreme speed in this need not be in
such demand as in racing to harness. and
horses can be obtained for practical use to
saddle for comparatively small sum- With
the excitement and pleasure offered is the
added advantage of a alth-giVing and in

BOXING AN ART OF
VALUE IN MANY WAYS

y
Jabez White, a British boxer who Is said
to understand the game from gong to gong,
has recently talked very entertainingly on
the subject.
Boxing" he said, as one of the most
valuable of arts. OF course, 1t Is useful In
a fight: any one knows that; but 1t Is more
useful still as a training for the character.
ANY man may have to defend himself on
occasions. but I have noticed that those
who know best how to do it are those who
most rarely need their knowledge. There is
an air of self-reliance about man who
can nut UP a good fight when pushed to 1t
that more often carries more weight with
II than any blow he can strike. In my ten
wears of experience l have never once
needed my knowledge of fighting except in
the ring.
However,, the purely pugnacious side of
boxing Is less valuable to a man than the
psychological. Consider for moment the
effects of teaching a boy to box well. Self
confidence poise, good humor, temperance,
endurance, good health are among the quail
tiles which he necessarily acquires. The
ability to strike hard and well-directed
blow is worth much. but the ability to take
such a blow without wincing is worth far
more. No matter what a mans profession
NAV be- he has to take many hard knocks,
and he who is trained to receive severe
physical blows with equanimity is the man
who can best receive blows of moral or
financial nature and rally from them un-
scathed.
