We have been the victims of the
picture-men. They work our sections

done poorly and to make bad mat,

the proper framing. The gold
frames are. more adapted to the falr-

darker woods, which will harmoniZe

faces. Let us abstain from hanging
any faces, save of our own people

Futurity for Hackneys.

At the suggestion of Lieutenant j.
Macy Willets q competition to be known
as the Hackney Futurity has been opened
by the Devon Horse Show Association.
II will be for registered foals shown to
halter when two years old. Exhibitors
must pay five dollars to enter and ten
dollars more to show each foal. and the
stakes will be divided. sixty per cent TO
the first. twenty five to the second and
fifteen TO the third If enough colts are
shown the class and money will be divided,
with one division for pony bred ones.
For the first competition, in 1921, entries
will not close until the last day of this
month, but thereafter the youngsters must
be entered in the year foaled. Though the
class is good one the propriety of calling
it futurity is questionable that term
having always signified an event in which
the competitors were entereed before they
were born. by nominating the mares in
foal. Experiences has shown that a true
futurity attracts more entries than a
sweepstakes on the Devon plan, and it is
not easy to see the reason for the de-

South America, are at Durland's Riding

lall to two Argentine buyers who We're
here last week, and no expects TO send
them away on the first available steamer.
In the shipment arc a pair of trottng
road horses. a pair Of high acting carriage
horses and twenty useful horses for riding

lauctions into one last week, selling close
Ito five hundred head under the hammer
on Monday after it was announced that
no sale would be held on New Years Day.
Tomorrow's auction promises to be almost
equally large. although the N-1n will sell
again on Thursday. Replacing horses
knocked out on the icy streets is adding
to the volume of business al every sale.
The Bergen Horse Company's next sale
on Wednesday will put about two hundred
fresh and seasoned workers under the
hammer at the Communipaw avenue
stables in Jersey City.
Three carloads Of fresh country horses
from Ohio, Michigan and Illinois arrived
in Twenty-fourth street yesterday for the

Southern Harness Racing.

When the stewards OF the Grand Cir
cult meet at Syracuse next week to ar
range the harness racing schedule Tor
1870 they may be asked to admit three
new tracks from the cotton belt, Birmlns-
ham, Macon and Jacksonville having made
tentative plans to hold Grand Clrcuit
races next season il suitable dates can
be obtained AS Birmingham seems to be
trying 10 butt in between Lexington and
Atlanta by asking for the week OF Oc-
tober 11-16 long held by the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association, the
prospect of membership for the Alabama
asprant is not very rosy unless Atlanta
can be induced to move its meeting back
one week to let the horses race at the
brick red track in Birmingham, for it goes
without saying the stewards Will not con-
slider any Arrangement of dates which
would curtail the greatest meeting OF the
year at Lexington. Macon Is expected to
follow Atlanta, with the windup or the
longest circuit on record at Jacksonville.
The probability that four or five Grand
Circuit meetings will be held south ot
Mason and Dixon's line this year is some
thing new in harness racing and some
thing worthy the attention of historians
and philosophers as showing how the
democratized new South is turning to the
typo of horse that has been Unidentified

aristocratic thoroughbred running horse
of the Cavaliers held undisputed sway.

that the first trotting meeting of any con-

decade or so that great headway has been
made Where there We're twenty running

Blight on Horse Breeding.

That prevailing prices for farm products
are blighting the horse breeding industry
in Kentucky's world famous blue grass
region is the opinion Of man of national
prominence in harness racing, who called
at the HERALD office yesterday. Just
think of it," he said. "the farmers within
a radius of thirty miles from Lexington
received practically s5oOeo.OO0 for their to-
bacco crop alone in 1919, and for every
thing they raised about s200. 900. Land
that was selling for 5000 an acre before the
war is now worth 5000. 1t has become so
valuable for tobacco, hemp hogs and cat
tie and the returns are so much quicker
that very few farmers seem to think they
can afford to raise trotters and saddle
horses. Perhaps those living on cheaper
land back in the country will take 1t up,
but In the old blue grass region about Lex
ington it looks as II the horse breeding
farms which gave 1t character and made
it celebrated might soon disappear"
