AMERICAN TROTTER

Australia, and South America.

up to two or three years ago. Picked
specimens have won repeatedly in the
show ring, and the riding academies
frequently include horses of this type
to meet the wishes of their patrons. II
public taste Is trending this way 1t
must be catered to. and there Is no
doubt that a wide field is presented for
breeders to operate in If the new fad
is engineered in the proper way.
There can be no doubt that a number
of properly conducted races for trotting
bred horses under saddle carrying
riders in colored silk would be highly
attractive, and while 1t would be going
back to first principles the public would
unquestionably flock to any course
where such spectacular events are
scheduled.
The speedways of New York and other
cities which have of late been MAIN
tained wholly for the benefit of a few
trOtters in harness would be ideal for
the holding of such saddle races and
events of this nature If included in fair
programs and at grand circuit meet
ings, would undoubtedly draw large
crowds of spectators who would relish
such features as something decidedly
appetizing and out of the ordinary. II
trotting racing under saddle becomes
popular the sport will mark a new era
in the history of the American bred
horse. and thousands of farmers and
small breeders will engage in the pro-
ductionS of candidates.

Great Western Circuit
Opens at Decatur, III.

DECATUR, ILL.,. Aug. 1.-The season
of the Great Western Circuit of trot-
ting and pacing meetings was inaugu-
rated at the local track today. Several
hundred horses, representing many i'm
portant stables. are here, and all in
dicato ons point to a successful meeting.

time more than a quarter of million
dollars will be distributed in purses.

The versatility of the American
trotting bred horse has been proved
times beyond number in recent years,
not only in this country. but In
Europe, South America, and Aus
tralia, says an expert Originally
horse used for general purposes OF
light nature and largely thorough
bred in and about 1880. when trot-
ting races under saddle weCe the
vogue, later being relegated to speedy
work in harness on prepared tracks,
the American bred trotter has devel-
oped along lines far removed from
that of his progenitor. the blood
horse. yet compares favorably with
the thoroughbred saddle horse under
a variety of conditions where stam-
ina and endurance are called for.
OF late there has grown a popular
fancy for horses that can trot vigor-
Ously under saddle, and advocates OF
the track trotter, who realize that
great many colts from trotting stock
are not nor cannot be trained for ra-
cling, are now wondering what is to
become of the surplus. Since the
advent OF the automobile there is but
small market for roadsters, and it
has been suggested many times by
wealthy horsemen and others that
quite a number of colts should be
trained to trot under saddle to meet
the growing demand. The parks in
the large cities are today crowded
with riders who ride for the exercise
to be derived from II, and they get
this best when their horses move
at a sharp trot.
The trade has long realized this, and
many dealers have been buying up
trotting bred horses and training them
for saddle purposes rather than for use

Billy Evans here.

Not for ages have the fans OF Wash

Evans. the one real umpire in the
American League, and his presence In
the Capital for the White Sox series Is
appreciated. Ban Johnson's system Of
handling umpires seems to be that OBJ
jectionable officials are kept at work in
cities where they are detested merely to
show the Johnsonian grasp of the situa-
ton. That explains Evans absence
from the Capital so long.
