tlared themselves at that time enthu-
Eiastically in favor of the measure.
1t would undoubtedly have passed
the house without dissenting voice
as it passed the senate, had the word
not gone out just before 1t was ex-
pected the bill would come up in the
house that the auditor general doubt
would be sufficient to meet the require
ments of the schools and all the char
liable and penal institutions, asylums,
hospitals and colleges, and thS.other
regular expenses of government, and
leave enough to provide for the en-
largenent of the capitol park.
The event proved that the auditor
general was mistaken; magnificent
surplus was left in the treasury. and
1T has been gradually growing ever
since. The revenues of the state were
never so great as now There are and
will be ample funds to meet this ex-
penditure and all other legitimate eX-
penses of every kind.
Moreover, the money will not all
have to be expended in one year. but
will run over period of three or four
years, as it will take at least that
length of time to acquire the grounds
clear them off, change the lines Of the
streets and transform this now rather
unsightly section into a magnificent
eXtension OF capitol park
All should remember that this i'm
provement will be made ty a commits
sion to be appointed by Edwin S. Stu
art, whom the people last fall, having
confidence in his patriotism and high
purpose, elected to the great Office of
governor
This commission will not be made
up of citizens of Harrisburg, but will
be selected by the governor from the
sections of the state where he can find
men best suited for the duties. None
of the money will be required this
year, as the commission cannot, under
the most favorable circumstances,
more than fairly start the work. All
that can be done during the next 12
months will be for the legislature to
pass the bill, the governor to select
the members of the commission and
for the commission to get the matter
fairly under way.
The money required for this pur-
pose will not in any way encroach
upon the appropriation for schools or
good roads, the maintenance of all
state and semi-state charitable and
correctionary institutions, the proper
other proper enterprise that the legis-
lature in it's wisdom shall determine
upon.
This is an improvement which every
citizen OF the state should work for.
and it may be confidently asserted that
every citizen who is acquainted with
the situation will earnestly advocate

Winners OF Blue Ribbons Cannot
Ai,erward Compete With

MoNiccs.

| NEW YORK. November AT least
4 two OF the leading horse show associa-
4 tons or tile east Will next year take
measures to proven. veteran ca,npntgr.
ers of the show ring from winning
all the prizes. Francis Nj. Ware, sec
'retary OF tho Newport eNhibitiou ard
manager OF the Brockton show. said
recently that 1t had been decided 10
bar blue ribbon winners In all harness
and saddle classes excepting tile chain-
| pionship events at these exhibitions.
This is a radical departure from past
usage. and amounts to making every
class novice class. II is In line with
reforms, tho need OF which has been
pointed out time and again In the last
few years. and which Mr.. Ware him
self advocated a few weeks ago. 1t IL
designed to discourage the practice of
keeping horses Exclusively for show
purposes and exhibiting them year at
ter year In tire same CLASSES ut the
same shows with the same results. Its
purpose is to bring to the front tho
fresh young show horse in tho hands
OF the truly amateur exhibitor and TO
relegate to the rear or to the cham
pionsllip class, the perennial prize
winner whose presence at all the shows
has OF late years proved SO discourage
Horse shows as heretofore conducted
have been made up for the most part
of open classes. in which the old stnger
that had won 100 prizes competed with
the novice that was parading in public
for the first time. VI
In the language OF the trotting turf.
every class was a free-for-nll race.
where the 2:30 performer met the horse
with a record of 2:05 in an unequal
contest.
Effects OF this policy, OF opening all
classes to all horses have been seen in
a diminishing list OF exhibitors and an
Increasing proportion Of prizes won
by few big stables. Soon after the
Philadelphia Horse Show last spring
attention was drawn to the fact that
three fourths of all the prizes awarded
during the week went to four or five
exhibitors. and the prediction was then
made that horse shows could not long
continue under these conditions.
At half q dozen horse shows held this
season the absence of one or two
stables would have left the exhibition
without sufficient entries to make re-
spectacle show. And at nearly all i'm
spectacle of the same old horses COM
peting over and over again was pre-
sented day after day.
Reading the handwriting on the wall
Mr.. Ware and his associates at New
port and Brockton have decided to re-
wise their prize lists and rely on fresh
horses to fill the classes. The pro-
posed departure is bold one under ex-
listing conditions. when fresh show
horses OF high class are undeniablyl
scarce. That it will encourage many
new exhibitors to enter their horses
is confidently hoped. and that a great
change for the better will be accom-
plished If 1t does this few horsemenl
will gainsay.

Germans. 3t
The articles covering the interna-
tional race allow but three entries
from each country represented in the

not deter the Americans. who un-
