Fatherly Advice Should We Go Up
Against Same Proposition
Again.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Iu discussing the
antjracing crusade which has sent so
many American horses to this side, the
British sporting writer's show sympathy
for their American brethren, and occa-
sionalIy give some interesting informa-
ton concerning the American turf. For
instance, The Scout" racing expert of
the London Express, said recently.
"Harking back to the question OF the
American horses which are coming to
Europe by the score, it seems lament
able that the anti legislation should
have been so vexatiOus. considering all
the trouble which has been taken for
generations in the United States to
bring racing To what it is now.
Race meetings i'm America really date
back 10 about the middle of the eight
zenith century. The first race meeting
was held under proper organization at
Charleston, i'm 1860. To was a Yorkshire
man, Charles Nightingale, who laid
out the course and built a clubhouse,
calling il the Newmarket course.
They were well on the way to pro-
duclng good results from scientific
horse breeding before the war of indie
DendenCe broke ont, but il was not until
after the great revolution that racing
stables began TO be formed on an cN-
tensiye scale. Tn 1856 the new era OF
racing began, and they seemed 10 have

Naturally. lOng-distance races were
as popular there as they used 10 be In
England, and also In Australia. They
were run in heats, too. some being OF
four miles each L think the longest
race ever run was the distance for a
notable event at WOgga, in New South
Wales, which was ten miles. Now these
lengthy courses are confined to cyclists
and pedestrians, il was doubtful Wheth-
