Should you tell one of those old fell
lows with a vivid recollection OF the
days when races were run In heats of
four miles that there was only one
race at four miles in America in 1906.
and that a dash for the Thornton
there were out of 1857 races run at
major and minor meetings only 139 at
distances longer than one mile and a
quarter, and that they were all dashes.
you would be more than apt to hear
some things about degradation of the
sport that would not be printable re-
marks the Chicago Racing Form
1OOul tue same time you could get
lot of argument out OF the fellow
who holds TO the opinion that our two
year-olds are annually raced to death
by telling him that 1908 races for two
year-olds exclusively were run, and
that this was a fraction more than
% per cent OF all the races of the year.
Whether. in conditioning races at
the shorter distances and for the
younger horses, we are progressing or
retrogading is a question about which
much has been said and written, and
one which is largely a matter of per-
sonal opinion However. IL is a no.
ticeable fact that whenever there is a
race on the cards anywhere at two
miles or over there is a more general
outpouring of the public and there is
much ado about IL. All of which would
seem to indicate that the long distance
races are still popular with the public.
The secretaries say that they do not
programme more long distance races
for the reason that they are not able
to get the horsemen to enter. The

All of the floor space for the coming

Club will have to explain why. when

operation of the clubs to make the com
ing show a success, the Woman's Club
was not asked to appear publicly as
among the patrons. One OF the OH
GERS of the Woman's Club said yes
terday:
1T is strange that the Dealers As
ISOLATION should ask the Automobile
Club of California to help IT out, While
our club has been overlooked The
movement that started the agitation for
a show was due to the action taken
by one of our officers. The latter said
to some of the members of the trade
that if they were not going to have a
show this year the Woman's Club would
give one itself 1t was on this sug-
gestion that her husband got out and
stirred up some of the other members
of the trade, with the result you see
I'VE are glad that the show is going
to be success, and we are going to
do all in our power to help IL along
This is selfish motive on our part, for
1t will make many more members for
our club. But I do think that we
might have been requested to help.
This passing us by as il we were not
in existence. when in reality we are re-
sponsible for the show, is not courte-
Gus, to say the least. / think some
of the dealers realize that they have
made a mistake"
