idea of faculty membership is partially in force at Columbia.

MANY new records were made on
INl local racetracks during the last
season. II Is doubtful whether there
ever was a year when as many ola

one about to pass into turf history
Four new American records and one
worlds record were made, and there
was not a meeting during the season at
which one or more track records were
not improved upon.
That time means little in thorough
bred racing is the opinion OF most toi-
lowers of the turf, who point out that
as n general thing the records are held
by horses distinctly inferior In quality
This year most Of the new marks were
set by the best horses, which ID an ih-

oughbred is steadily improving
However, there Is no question Una
