To attempt to do so would be like build

dream. or what benefit, then, is devel-

higher physical conditions and enables an
animal to better answer and sustain the
calls made upon It for supreme efforts.
1t produces in the race horse capable OF
development a higher degree OF speed.

ing capacity. But it may be asked, Why
are not the qualities of a high-class race
mare or race stallion transmitted to their
descendants with something like uniform
ity? That is question no man yet has
been able TO answer satisfactorily.
1t Is claimed By some that the reason is
because animals sometimes revert back
10 some nO-account ancestor, or because,
again, some ancestor was unsound or
vicious or would not race or possessed
other undesirable traits Doubtless the
true reason lies in some natural law the
secret OF which man has only partially
penetrated. II has been said that devel-
opment Is the handmade of speed This
is largely true. but it does not prove the
whole case. 1t does not prove that an
animal is deprived of the power to trans
NIT speed because it has never been de-
velOped.
