The harness horse racing game Is
not as vigorous as 1t was few years
ago, but 1t still has power to draw
thousands of horse lovers to the rae
ing establishments of the grand cir
cult and to the less pretentious homes
OK the equine kings all over the land.
In no branch of sport has there
been developed finer sportsmen than
the drivers There seems 10 be some
thing about the association OF men
and horses that brings out the better
qualities OF men, And this Is especiai-
ly true OF the harness horses-the AM
erican's favorite.
Hiram Woodruff was the first great
driver and following him were such
wonderful teamsters as Dan Mace,
Budd Doble, John Splan, Orrin Hickox
John Murphy, John K. Turner, Frank
Van Ness and James II. Goldsmith.
These men belonged TO the old
