From all indications, the racing this
year Is to be of a better quality than
anything heretofore offered. The sea-
son has started auspiciously, and
practically all reports are of an en-
couraging nature. Occasionally there
are indications that the managements
of some of the tracks are not vet con-
WINGED that tie paren, associations
are In earnest about abolishing the
suppression Of time evil. Starters
have been empowered to see that
timers do their duty, and they are
liable to suspension il they do not re-
port all delinquents to the Officials of
the parent association. OF course. We
nave no means of knowing whether
tnese reports are made to the Ameri-
can or the National Association; the
latter would necessarily treat them as
cohndential communications. But If
the two governing bodies wish to con-
vince the public that time suppression
Is to be absolutely thing of the past,
and also wish to deter track officials
generally from suppressing time, they
Will take prompt action. Under the
natural order of things the cases. If
reported by the starters, would not an
pear until the regular meetings of the
boards in December, but it would have
a wholesome effect IT, the timers and
others implicated could be expelled
at the present time. OF course, the
licenses of the starter or starters fall
ing to make the report could be re-
voked. but that would not be possible
until the facts were proven. The ma
cninery of the associations is weak
IN that the punishment comes so long
after the offense is committed. What
ls needed Is prompt and immediate
action in all cases. If it could be ar
ranged SO that the first officials to
suppress time would be promptly ex-
PEELED, 1t would do more than any,
thing else to insure correct timing for
the balance of the season.
Thfrty-two horses have been named

NJ. W. Savage, owner of a greater
number of champion stations than
any other man in the world, stoles
The Western Horseman, under date
of July, that the reports regarding
the developed viciousness of Cresce-
us. 2:02A, are wholly false. and that
the trotting king is working fine, and
to his entire satisfaction. Therefore
the public will not only have the
pleasure of seeing Cresceus trot again
this year, but most likely see him low
err his own worlds champion trotting
record.
An Eastern Kansas woman has the
correct idea concerning material
things. She is owner of road horse
that cannot be taught to love an auto
mobile and being very devout church
woman has added the following to
her evening applications: "Oh,
Lord, cause some man to invent some
thing that will brighten the automo-
biles so badly that they will no long
er be met with on country roads,"
Yearling trotters are already per-
forming their annual stunts of step
ping quarters in IS seconds, in sever
al sections Of America, more especi-
ally at Lexington, KY. where such
things are to be expected. What be-
comes of all these precocious young
sters? One rarely hears of them after
their yearling year.
