ignition was given the now International
character Of the National Trotting Asso-
citation, when. at yesterdays biennial con-
gress, the Canadian provinces were made

tion even if admission is charged at the
gate and privileges sold. Otherwise the
rules governing public racing shall be EN-
forced and privileges under the rule are

numerous amateur horse trotting associa-
lions throughout the country, frequently
known as 'gentlemen's riding and driv-
ing clubs" Heretofore membership has
been confined to regular racing associa-
tions.
The rule on entries was changed, three
entries and two starters being required in
purse events unless otherwise specified. in
stead of five entries and three starters, as
formerly.
For the twentieth time Mayor p. P.
johnson of Lexington, KY, was chosen
president of the association. The other Of
ficers elected, besides Mr.. MacLaren as
third vice president. were: Morgan G.
Buckley, Hartford, Conn.,, first vice pres
ident, and E. P. Head, San Francisco,
second vice president. Changes were
made in four Of the district boards, in
