Season of Light Harness Races

The curtain has been rung down

as the light harness horse is concerned.
There viii be sporadic racing in differ

light harness sport for the season Is
practically at an end.
Early in the year, the writer Of this
column predicted that the year 1905
would prove TO be the most brilliant In
the history of the light harness breed.
and thes results have proved the cor
rectness Of the prophecy. The breed
