JUDGE FITZGERALD.

There came into the midst of our people during this race meeting a man who ought to come again There came man who has bio ideas in @connection with the racing game, and a man who is impressed with the fact that horsemanship is something more than form for speculation
 Judge Fitzgerald brought some in. novations with him in connection with serving as the presiding judge at race course. Presiding judge, as We have known them have been very dignificd, austere men. Ql uu questioned integrity but men who went into the judges stand before the afternoon program opened, and remained there until it had closed
 Judge Fit2gerald spent only the time Of the actual racing in the stand >SIe visited the paddock between each and every race He looked every horse over carefully, to know that the horse was properly prepared for rae. ing He talked to the owners, to the trainers, and to the jockeys lie kept such Q close tab on every phase of the racing game that the sport was cleansed without harsh punishment Any man in autocratic authority can rule by force of that authority. Judge Fitzgerald ruled without crushing out; without exercising harshly the authority placed in his hand
 When there are more men like Judge Fitzserald connected in au thority with racing there will be more public approval of the sport. We hope that Judge Fitzeerald will come again to Hot Springs. come again in position of the same absolute au. thority that clothed him on this visit, and that through his capability, his integrity and his personality, those Of us who believe in the sport prop erly conducted, win find it easier to maintain our views that racing is an right when properly regulated.
