Upton Helped Sport.
As its name implies, the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders association, at
Lexington, KY, was organized in 1873
by, the breeders in that state, w. II.
Wilson, who took George Wilkes to Ken
lucky, did most Of the preliminary work
in organizing it. At its early meetings
the purses were small and the interest
local. A change was made in the sos,
when Ed A. Upton was elected secre-
tary. He increased the purses and sue
ceeded in getting the Northern breed
ers to race there. c. j. Hamlin being
the first to respond.
Race tracks depend on the gate,
grandstand and privileges to pay ex-
penses and dividends II the stockhold-
.eFs expect any. Fortunately there are
a large. number who do not, but on the
other hand look upon the giving of
light harness race meetings as the
greatest outdoor entertainment ever de-
vised on this continent. It was this
sentiment which carried the trotters
successfully through the crisis which
followed the Hughes crusade against
commercialized racing in New York
state. When the driving club meetings
disappeared. fairs took their places, ex-
cept in Orange county, where popular
and efficient management made the
meetings more attractive than ever be-

BY WILLIAM eoeHEa.

Considerable has been said Of late IN
regard 70 the breeder OF light harness
horses being given a more prominent
part In racing affairs and as such be-
come factor In moldlng the rules Of
racing as well as planning race pro-
grams for the leading meetings. This
cooperation between the track mana
always existed, although the majority
OF the breeders have not been very
active In race track management dur
ing the past 20 years.
There is only little in common be-
tween planning and delivering a race
meeting or fair and breeding or devel-
oping a race horse. In the business
world they cover almost the same
ground as the retailer and manufac-
turer The breeders produce the racing
material, while the racing or fair asso-
Citations provide place where 1t can
be displayed and raced while in addi-
tion to that the latter must plan then
be conducted at a profit in order to
pay the premiums as well as current
expenses.
c. ]. Hamlin was the only large
breeder of trotters who was active as
a track owner and promoter of race
meetings, He was the leader in Buff
falo for years and never failed to make
both ends meet. Up to about 20 years
ago almost all Of the leading breeders
of trotters developed and raced num-
Der of. horses, Fairlawn and WOODBURY.
farms in Kentucky being the only
prominent exceptions.
Leland Stanford and William Corbett
both made an active market for the
products of their California farms by
displaying them on the Eastern tracks
just as Stoughton Fletcher is doing
with the Peter the Greats from Laurel
Hall today They showed what a, few
winners will do to boost the product
of a stock farm.

Need Breeders at Tracks.

At the present time it is the excep-
ton to find a breeder very active in
building or equipping race tracks or
fairgrounds. That is left to individuals,
town or county enterprise, and when
completed those who were responsible
for their existence select the officers
to manage them like any other ven
ture requiring a large expenditure or
capital
There was, however, a day when
breeders were promoters of race meet.
ings 1t was started by the National
Association of Trotting Horse Breeders
in the '70s. In addition to giving a
series of colt races this organization
had for about IS years a shadowy con-
troll over Wallace's American Trotting
Register. 1t faded in the latter part
of the sos and was revived for a few
days in 1891 to give a semblance of
authority when the Wallace publica-
tions were taken over by the Ameri-
can Trotting Register association.
In the interval there were also a
number of State Breeders association,
the list including New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
All of them gave meetings, a few Of
their events being limited to the state
or membership. In addition to these
were three splendid organizations
known as the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders association the North
western Breeders association, and the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
association. The last-named passed In

WORN OUT BY,
SEVERE COUGH
Memphis Woman RegainS
Health Through Lung-Vita,
Now Called L-V.

ITO me L-V, which was formerly
called Lung Vita, is the best medicine
ever manufactured and l wish l could
tell everybody suffering from pains in
Tthe chest, bronchial troubles, or whoop-
ing cough about it personally" says
Mrs. Emma G. Davis, 612 Vance Ave,
Memphis Tenn.
II suffered dreadfully with cough
that had worn me out. / had lost flesh,
my appetite was gone, my strength had
gone, and ] had lost interest in living.
Then by accident l learned of Lung
Vita and began using it, 1t acted like
magic from the very first and in a little
while / felt like a new woman. My
cough left and my strength returned"
Why don't you try L-v for that
stubborn. cough? It will give you the
same relief that Mrs. Davis got. Your
druggist or dealer handles L-V.

Fairs Get Majority.

As the years rolled by the fairs in
creased in number until now over rs
per cent of the race meetings are given
in connection with them. At these fairs
the breeder can exhibit or race the prod
pcts of his farm, not in the presence of
a few thousands as formerly, but before
millions who annually attend the state
and county eXpositions to examine the
exhibits, see the races and discuss the
breeding and racing qualities of the
winners.
At present the fairs are the back
bone of light harness racing. These
meetings are conducted under the SUI
peryision of the states in which they are
located, few Of them being owned by
the state. Almost all receive state APP
preparations to defray portion of the
expenditures in the agricultural depart
mentS, leaving the revenue from admis
sions and privileges to take care of the
other expenses! In such an organiza-
ton the breeder Is a welcome guest.
Places on committees are always made
for him, as the acting fair manager
knows by experience that a man who
has a thorough knowledge of the de-
partment with which he is connected
never fails to, make 1t success. This
Is the point where the breeder can
strengthen the horse interest both in
development and production, as results
in the fair world show that active COM
petition brings out the best in every
variety, whether it is horse, steer or
a bushel OF corn.
