Harness Racing Men
To Meet in Cleveland
May Shorten Lexirgton's An
nual Trotting Races.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Jan. THE har-
ness racing season for 1922 will be laid
here on Monday and Tuesday. when
Grand Circuit hold their annual meeting
and assign dates, upon which other har-
ness racing dates throughout the coun-
try are based.
The meeting will open Monday and
continue Tuesday. The schedules and
rules committee will meet Monday after
noon. with the annual dinner to be held
in the evening. Tuesdays program calls
for an open meeting in the morning, to
which all horsemen are invited. and an
executive meeting of the stewards in
the afternoon. at which action viii be
taken on rules and schedules.
One of the principal questions facing
the stewards is whether dates will be
assigned to the Kenilworth track at
Windsor. Ont, across the river from De-
troit. President Samuel Mcbride of
that track has signified his intention of
applying for membership with a view to
holding meeting during the two weeks
preceding the North Randall meeting
Under the Canadian law it is possible
only to race three days a week, and in
order for a six day meeting to be held
at the Kenilworth track II Is necessary
TO race in two different weeks. How
ever. the management OF the North
Randall track here is reticent about re-
linquishing the opening of the Grand
Circuit.
II Lexington decides TO substitute a
six day meeting for the two weeks gath
ering II has held for many years. as has
been reported, this also must come be-
fore the stewards. Such action by Lex
ington would leave n week open be-
tween the Lexington and Atlanta meet
ings.
The addition OF Kenilworth would give
the Grand Circuit twelve tracks. Pres
ent members are Cleveland (North Ran
dall, Toledo. Columbus. Kalamazoo.
Lexington. Atlanta, Philadelphia. Pough-
keepsie. Syracuse. Hartford and Boston
(Readville)
II dates for Windsor are allotted the
$4,000 Merchants and Manufacturers

of the circuit until racing was aban-
doned at Detroit. viii be revived.

FIELD MARSHAL Is
MUCH TOO LIGHT
So Says Horse Show Judge Who
Thinks English Champion
Was Rightly Beaten.

Referring 10 the English criticism of
Field Marshars defeat at the last Ma
tional Horse Show in New York, as pub
lished in last Sundays HERALD, one of
the leading horse show judges and Of
ficials of the country yesterday ridicued
the charge made in the London Lire
Stock Journal that when American
judges turned down the London cham
pion they discredited the type of har-
ness horse they had always before set
up as model.
"The trouble with our friends across
the water seems to be-" he said. that
they can no longer find a market here
at a fabulous price for every harness
horse that wins the championship at the
London International Horse Show. They
sold us some of their champions few
years ago that didn't altogether please
the judges here. There was Flourish, for
which Judge Moore paid about as much
as he did for Forest King. Radiant was
another of the high priced English cham
pions that went into the same stable.
Neither Of them made good at the Ma
tional be ,ause they weren't what they
ought to have been to win the champion
ship at Olympia. They seem to have
made our judges. including Judge Moore.
lose faith in the hall mark OF the London
show. l could name some other horses
of the same kind, but these were the
most conspicuous disappointment.
"As for our horsemen having taught
the English anything about hackneys, I
doubt It, They always knew enough. If
not little too much, In my opinion. The
whole trouble was. as see it, that some
of them wanted to put over on us too
many harness horses they didn't care TO
keep for themselves.
Field Marshal may not have been at
his best when shown here. ] am dis
posed to think he had lost flesh and con-
dition from the effects of the sea voyage.
But / am sure that If he ever wins the
championship at our leading shows he
will have to scale good deal more than
when we saw him at the armory. He
hasn't the weight for inches that l want
to see in horse for heavy harness"

May Combine Big Stakes
With the Championships
National Horse Show Direc-
tors Working Out Plan.

The six early closing stakes offered at
the last National Horse Show are re-
ported to have cost the association less
than $1,000 all told, when the books
were balanced after the November ex-
hibition. 1t goes without saying that the
$1,000 prizes will be renewed this year.
though probably with some modifica-
tions. Suggestions have been made that
the big prizes be in some way hooked
up with the championship classes. ana
the directors are trying to work out a
plan by which this can be accomplished.
When the best horses in the show come
together In the stakes, as they did last
season, the championship classes. judged
later. necessarily lose much of their in
terest, because the same horses are
pretty sure to win. Again, the cham
pionship classes. as now arranged. bring
out only a handful OF horses. often pro-
viding a rather tame spectacle for what
should be the climax of the show. To
avoid this anti-clmaX and bring the ex-
hibition to a brilliant close is tre pur-
pose OF trying to find n way to combine
the well filled stakes with the cham-
pionships.

William Carr seems to have a better
eye than some of the judges and exhib-
itors, who don't always know their own
horses when they see them in unex-
pected places. From the photograph OF
the prize winning pony jumper Liberty,
recently reproduced In THE HERALD. the
crstwhile pony king" of the New York
market identified him as one bred by
Mrs. G. w. Fletcher at Halcyon Farms
and given by her to the Red Cross dur
ing the war, when he was two years
old. He realized 81. 500 for charity when
sold by auction at the Goshen Driving
Park. Mr.. Carr says Liberty Is a full
brother to Clover Nipper. the champion
saddle pony of the New York State Fair
Horse Show at Syracuse last year. His
sire is the hackney pony stallion Irving
ton Nipper. by Enfield Nipper. and his
dam is Pflox, by imp. Zambo. son OF
Sir Horace. Having been docked for u
harness pony and not showing enough
action to win his lack of a tail prevented
him from making a winner under saddle
so he was developed as n jumper and
proved to be a nonpareil for one of his
size.

a match race to run his gray stallion
for so guineas against Gov. Horatio
Sharpe's bay gelding at Annapolis.
Col. Tayloe became a member of the
council in 1857. continuing in office un-
til the Revolution. Although he was a
boyhood neighbor and friend of George
Washington he seems to have opposed
the movement for separation from Brit
ain when it came to the issue, for after
having been elected to the first repub-
lican council of state in 1875, he de-
clined to serve, and apparently severed
his connection with public affairs.
About twenty years before the war
Col. Tayloe built at Mount Airy. on an
eminence overlooking the Rappahan-
mock. the beautiful mansion of red
sandstone and marble which, with its
parks and gardens, remains to the pres
ent day one of the most interesting and
best examples of the stately homes of
the wealthy equestrian aristocracy when
Colonial Virginia was baronial Virginia.
The country all about Mount Airy was in
Col. Tayloe's day literally the abode OF
the first families of Virginia. Three
Presidents-Washing Madison and
Monroe-were born here on the Northern
Neck, within fifteen miles of each other,
and between the two rivers were the
lordly mansions OF the Fairfaxes, Car
ters, Lees, Burwells, Pages and others,
few traces of which now remain. Ia
menting correspondent of the Spirit of
the Times who visited this historic re-
gion zen years before the civil war de-
scribed the ruins, which even then were

reduced to a kitchen chimney rising
above a wilderness of weeds. and the
