DOBBIN IN THE FRYING PAN
First Whit of Horse Flesh May De-
termine Whether 1t Will Become
Popular Diet.

The III. G. of l.. is driving us two
ways from beef and pork. 1t is driv-
ing us to vegetarianism on the one
hand and to horse flesh on the other.
The intention to establish a horse
meat market in St. Paul has been an
nounced, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. Those who find the meat to
their liking can purchase it at prices
that would put beef completely out of
business.
How fhese prices can be accepted
must be explained by the probable
fact that the demand for the meat at
first will be comparatively light.
Horses raised for the market, as are
steers, would be more expensive than
the beef animals, but 1t is expected
that a sufficient number of sound
horses with minor defects can be Sc
cured to keep the market supplied.
And who is going to eat horse flesh?
1t is declared by those who are cred
tied with knowing that nothing but
the imagination detects any difference
between horse and beef. But magma
ton in meat eating is more apt than
not to impose @ difference as great as
the East from the West. Horse
flesh has been on sale in foreign coun-
tries for many years and is regularly
accepted as welcome diet by large
number Of people.
But In America we can expect at
first conservatism. Foreigners who
have been bred to stomach the idea
will be the first purchasers and per-
haps the only ones for some time.
Conquest of the squeamish idea of eat
ing Dobbin on large scale is some
thing that only time will give an ac-
count Of. Perhaps the question can
be settled for all time by many of us
at the first Whit Of Dobbin frying.

HARNESS RACING is QUESTION
Grand Circuit Meetings in Detroit and

ful-May End Sport.

The future Of harness racing in
Michigan is topic of considerable dis
cussion among followers of the sport.
This years Grand Circuit meetings in
Detroit and Kalamazoo admittedly
were not successful, and at their con-
clusion the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that Michigan next year might
not see the trotters and PAGERS of the
big line. Poor attendance character
lied the races at Kalamazoo. Lack of
Interest following the abolition of bet
ting caused the abrupt termination of
the Detroit meeting. Whether Detroit
will again seek place on the Grand
circuit will be decided at meeting
of the Detroit Driving club in the near
future.
