Chicago, Dec. 17.-Only the horse win
ming the race would be accredited with q
record, should rule which will be con-
sidered BY the joint rules committees OF
the American and National Trottfng
Association at its meeting here yesterday
be adopted.
Under present rules every horse win
ming a heat or making dead heat for
first place is given a record correspond
ing with the time made In the heat.
Under the proposed new rule time made
by other heat winners would constitute
a breeders record" The intention Of
the rule would be to discourage the
checking of horses whose drivers do not
think them capable Of winning q race
and do not want them to win heat and
acquire a fast record.

Forbes followed him. What was going

60 many strange things had happened that
~ night to Forbes that he was no longer
able to sense the tingle known as excitement.
He was conscious of blunted wonder. like
that of man on a stricken ship. He fol

first flight.
"Shes probably asleep" said Crawford;
"but no matter | ought not to bother at

else than bitterness in it, Duty-moral OBJ
