Horse Shows in England
Need Central Association
Loose Methods in Manage
ment Mar Many Exhibitions.

Horse shows in England are being
marred by practices which seem to in
dicate the need of central governing
body like the Association of American
Horse Shows in this country. A con-
tributor TO the London LiUc Stock Jour
nal who Is evidently an official of the
show ring, says that some of the shows
are accepting entries without other par
ticulars than the name of the exhibitor,
the name and description OF his horse
being omitted. which of course Is to all
intents and purposes a post entry. But
that Is not the worst phase OF the prac-
tice. Unscrupulous owners take advan-
tage OF the lack OF particulars TO sub
stitute one hor-s. ior another and occa-
sionally pus <c,er an old campaigner in a
novice cAass, according TO yorkshire
man." who says "the time has come
when something must be DONE"
Loose methods of management and
sharp practices on the part of unspcrts-
manlilSe exhibitors have cropped out oc-
casionaily at American shows In the last
two years, but the central organization
has brought up most OF the offenders
with a sharp turn which Is having a
wholesome effect on the rest. Tho
scramble for entries is regarded as the
root of the evils here and in England
There are so many shows nowadays and
so few horses TO fill the classes. that a
good many managers are ready to over
look almost anything In order to get the
entries Owners and stable managers
are not asleep to these conditions, and
some of those who do not know the
meaning of the term sportsmanshlp do
not hesitate TO make the most OF the
situation. Without the A. A. ii. s.,
which solicits no entries and has no ak
TO grind in dealing with individual ex-
hibitors or exhibitions, the lack of au-
thorty prevailing in England might be
felt hero.

Honoring n Dog.

One Of the most unusual tributes ever
paid dog was given the sterling bull
terrier Champion All Fire Supreme re-
Gently by the Kendrick Bull Terrier Club
Of Philadelphia. Supreme was on ex-
hibition only at the clubs show. A big
delegation OF the club members, headed
by a band. met Supreme and his handler.
Thomas Lynch, when they arrived in
Philadelphia and escorted them in
twenty motors TO the West Philadelphia
club. Mr.. Lynch was overwhelmed with
the reception and with the award of a
special gold medal to Supreme in recog-
nition OF his great show ring career.
At the club Supreme. which is owned by
Commodore Eddy, was placed on ex-
hibition with two other champions, High
way Bob and Boltonia Bulwark. 1t was
a unique affair and does great credit TO
the spirit Of the Kendrick Bull Terrier
Club.

son was completed with the balance of
s65l on hand from the original budget
OF 5000 appropriated for the use OF the

satisfactory. as 1t is the nearest that
the gridiron game has come to paying

The financial record is particularly

might have secured an even break on
the season.
The new system Of preventing the

Built Like q Wedge.

Mr.. Markey's measurements OF Peter
Manning show that he Is built more like
a wedge than any OF the other 2 min
ute trotters. His width across the hips,
from point to point, Is "a inches, while
from point to point of the shoulders
he measures only lax inches. Com
pared with Uhlan there Is quite con-
trast. the black horse measuring two
inches less across the hips and an inch
and three-quarters more across the
breast. The great Peter IS likewise
better muscled than any of his rivals
in the 100 list when 1t comes TO cir
cumference or girth OF forearm Here
he measures 211a inches. to 201a for
Uhlan and II for Lee Axworthy and
Arion Guy. In girth around the heart
Uhlan leads with a measurement OF
69% inches, as compared with 50 for
Peter Manning. 67% for the 10 hand
Lee Axworthy and 65 for the three-year-
old Arion Guy.
In analyzing the action OF the new
champion Mr.. Markey says he strides
20 feet 6 inches at full flight. and his
shoe prints show that he often slides
more than four inches after his hind
feet strike the ground and before they
leave IL again. This unusual slide, taken
in connection with Peter Manning's tre-
mendous driving power. as indicated by
his width across the hips and his appear
ance in action, suggests the question
whether something of his wonderful
speed is not due to sort OF spring
through the air when all four feet are
off the ground.
lie Is one OF the most natural trot-
ters that have ever held the worlds rec
ord. His shoes are little moro than
plain racing plates. the front ones weigh
ing only 8h ounces. and the hind ones
Az ounces each. He wears no boots or
toe weights forward and only shin boots
behind.

Following my discussion OF distemper
and particularly the precautions taken
against the disease at the show OF the
Shepherd Dog Club at Mineola, i re-
ceived a letter from an exhibitor say
ing that his entry in that show mad
not been examined before the dog was
benched. This only makes me believe
that he did not enter by the main
entrance OF the building in which the
dogs were benched. Veterinaries were
constantly on duty there and examine
all dogs brought in.
vetcrinnries in Attendance.
The building, like others at the
Mineola Fair Grounds, has entrances
at each end. Tho veterinaries were
stationed naturally at the front of the
building. ! have heard that some OF
the exhibitors mistook the entrance at
the end of the building where the auto
mobiles were parked for the front and
took their dogs in there. believe,
however. that even IL the dogs had
been brought in that entrance they
should have been taken to the vet
crinary before being benched.
At the Englewood show. 1 was talk
ing about the question OF distemper
at the Mineola show with an exhibitor.
He said, "I read your article saying
the benching had been disinfected be-
fore the show, but came in early and
went so far as to smell the benchlng
and I couldn't get an odor of disin-
fectant."
I was certain the benching had been
disinfected, but I steered this exhibi-
tor up against the Spratt representative
and had him ask what precautions
were taken with the benching. He was
told that after each show the benchiHg
Is taken back to the factory. All the
platforms, stands, and wire partitions
are placed in a huge vat of disinfectant
which no germs could possible survive.
There 1t is thoroughly scrubbed. When
the exhibitor heard how the equipment
was treated he admitted the disease
could not have been brought in by the
benching.
If the right action were taken tho
whole problem OF distemper would be
studied from beginning to end. Perhaps
In this way thousands of dogs could be
saved from the ravages of the disease.
But as long as the present slipshodness
exists distemper will continue to flourish.
The place to tackle the menace is In the
kennels. The punishment for showing
dogs from kennels where distemper ex-
lists or has existed recently should not
be any nominal suspension of three
months but a drastic penalty such as
suspension for three years. AS / said
previously, the only way to tackle this
would be by systematized veterinarian
inspection.

TO EXTEND THE BALL LAW

The bill to extend the life of the
Ball reEt act until May %. 1922, was
taken up for consideration in the
Senate this afternoon on motion of
Senator Ball of Delaware. chairman
of the District committee.
When the bill was reached on the
Senate calendar objection to its con-
sideration was made by Senator King

moved that the bill be taken up, and
his motion carried.
Senator Ball explained to the Sem
ate that the pending bill amended the
existing rent act in the following par
ticulars:
It extends the life of the rent act
and the Rent Commission for six
months, from October % next
1t eliminates from the operation of
the rent act after October % next. all
business property. not including
hotels and apartment houses.
1t provides for the appointment of
an attorney for the Rent Commission
at a salary of $4,000 a year. -.
The bill also provides that in all
cases where the owner of any rental
properties. who, prior to April IS.
1921. collected any rent or charge in
Rent Commission. may within thirty
days after the passage of this act
return this excess to the tenant. If
such return is made the owner will
not be liable to pay double the
amount as he would be under the
original law.
It is provided also that where an
owner has obtained Judgment and
collected rents from a tenant in ex-
cess Of the amount fixed by the Rent
Commission, the owner must pay the
costs as well as the excess obtained
from the tenant.
Discussion Of the bill continued un-
til o'clock, when the anti-beer bill
came up automatically, as the unfin-
ished business of the Senate, displac-
ing the rent bill.
