IIaHr HARNEss RAcING.

The Old Glory sale OF light harness horses which
came 20 an end on Wednesday. was generally con-
gdered ths best of its kind ever held in this coun-
Try. In spite OF the fact that the grand total fell
iitls short Of other years The chief cause for
generalization in this IS the bearing it has on the
breeding industry and the sport which comes under
the head OF trutting and pacing. The closing OF a
,svv racetracls IN The West last summer and the
fact that no Grand Circuit meeting was held in
NeE-Eork led the pessinists to predict dire things
The sport Is too firmly established TO be seriously
affected by adverse legislation IN certain localities

thousand horses were disposed of for close to

That football is in need Of reform in sons

pass after the ball has left the quarterbacks
hands would result in a great deal OF the open

the eye and the imagination. To allow n1ors
men to fail back from the line for the purpose
of participating in flying interference around

gaining to the present difficulty Of which soma
coaches attribute the pronounced swing that we
have seen in the last few years TO the mass

fair fame of the sport it would seem we'll to
provide that a player disqualified for rough play
should have no substitute for the rest of the
game. All these things the football rules COM

many more That this committee has often
been deaf to public sentiment is true. But it
is more the system that is TO blame than any
