MAY ABOLISH
81 STAND|NC START
English Prefer American Way
of Walking Horses Up to
the Barrier.
R0THSCHILD OPPOSES OLD
METHOD or STARTING
Gives Reasons Why Horses Nat.
uraIly Become Nervous When
Reaching the Barrier.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-For nearly fiji
teen years the starting gate has been in
operation on American race courses. and
for nearly ten years English sportsmcu
have paid tribute 10 the new system Of
starting race horses, but up to the pres
cut the English do not appear 10 have
derived as much satisfaction from tho
system as has been The case in this
country.
AZ the recent Gimcrack club dinner in
length aud the drift of opinion seemed
tn warran: a change from the standing
start, which has always been IN operation
in England. 60 The walS-up method, or
at least allow the tsarler 60 uso his
judgment when opportunity offers and
allow tho horses to leave The barrier
when in motion
1T is impossible 10 start a field of
horses from stand. They simply will
not stand. and that is all there Is to It,"
said MIR. Rnthschild. and no blame at
taches TO the starters Tho English
starters are as good as. If not better
than. thosc attached To any other Jockey
club In the world, Being compelled.
however. TO start horses from n stand
they are mover afforded fair oppor
tunitv Of displaying their ability.
Walk Up Start Used
While holding no brief for the various
American racing associations. | must
confess that they are infinitely more
ready TO embrace an innovation than
their British confreres. For instance.
having tried Mars Cassidy. and tho
walb-up start at Ju5rez. in Mexico, the
authorities ther" decided that the walk
up start was preferable 10 attempting to
start horses from stand. with tho re-
suit that horses here are walked up TO
the barrier and the starting trouble is
practically non existent.
Yet We obstinately refuse 10 give the
walk up stert a chance. We know from
bitter experience what an abiect failure
is the starting gate when coupled with
the standing start Why not. therefore.
let us give the walk up method trial?
The starting Of the present day is
the curse Of the turf. Time after time
horses are left merely because they lived
up TO the Jockey club rule. which is that
horses shall face the barrier In align
ment. This is beautiful in theory. but
impossible in practice.
Trouble With Horses.
You cannot cajole or compel a field oi
race horses to act like automats. Each
horse is a separate and distinct Indi-
vdual and whereas Some viii face the

ness Of any description. others are on
