city cup race with him again next lau,
says the Horse World. Major Dclmar g
record without the assistance or inc dlrt
or wind shield is in such close proximity
to that Of Sweet Marie that a meet
ing Of these two trotters, provided bolh
reach topnotch form next fall, would
be a crowd drawing card for some en-
terprising secretary, to arrange. bacn
of these great trottcrs has shown not
only championship speed, but the high
est possible racing qualities, and with
both in good form, a race between them
should result IN n new race record
When it becomes known who Will own
Major Dclmar after his sale, II lot OF
talk is likely to be indulged IN re-
garding meeting between the two
trottcrs, unless the gelding happens to
fall to the bid of some one of the men
who buy horses exclusively for the anna
tour events.
Almost reckless speculation regarding
the future of the Billings PAGER, Black
lock. 2:O7M, is being indulged in as
regarding Major Dclmar's future.
Blackjack, according to all reports, is
real two-minute PAGER; IN TACT, TINS
fellow paced mile in l:59a at Cleve~
land, one day last fall, and he is also
credited with a matinee record OF
2:03M. With this known extreme speed,
breeding, this PAGER should cut quite a
figure in the classes for 2:07 and 2;0S
PAGERS this season, provided he falls
into the hands of someone who will pre-
pare him for a campaign. Blackjack,
while by trotting bred sire; has two
Hal crosses in the maternal side of his
pedigree His dam, Jenny, was by
Brown John. own brother to Storm,
2:0S1a, son of Brown Hal, and his sec
ond dam Lima, was by Masker, another
son of Brown Hal, and the one that
has sired Hal r., 2:06la, and other good
ones. Cuckoo, 2:161a, the sire of Black
lock. is son of Ambassador, 2:2l "a,
he by George Wilkes, and his dam was
Ncttie Time, dam of Temple Bar,
2:I7M. etc, by Mambrino Time. 1T
will be seen by this that Blackjack is
bred we'll enough to 90 on and pace to
record below two minutes and to
make a campaign that will place his
name in the list Of the world s great
racehorses at the pacing gait.

DISCOUNTED RIDERS ORGANIZE.
Amateur Riders Receiving Cash Were
Asked to Ride With Professionals.

The recent reports which have come
west that the bicycle riders were break
ing away from the n. G. A. in the East,
is being contradicted by Frank L. Val
liant, publicity manager Of the N. g. A.
In letter written to the sporting edi-
tor, Valiant states:
"Tbe keynote to the formation of an
opposing organization was sympa-
thetic movement, inasmuch as the
riders instrumental in that formation
had been turned professional by the
National Cycling association for riding
for cash prizes. Because Of this fact
the disgruntled and punished riders de-
cided to form what they termed an or
ganization to control strictly pure
amateur racing Really amusing, ism It
it, when the majority of its riders are
| declared professionally
It appears that several Of the Isl
mon pures' were taking money on the
quiet in lieu for merchandise prizes, and
in consequence were professionalism,
AS the n. G. A. is affiliated with all
the amateur organizations in the world
these new professionals will be COM
PEELED TO ride as such or not at all, The
amateur class is only reserved for that
class of riders who rlde for pleasure and
not for livelihood
