MAY DISCONTINUE
WALLACE YEARBOOK
A. T. r. A. Ready to Abandon
Publication of Harness
Racing Records.
By GURNEY c. CUE.

Eight months after the harness racing
campaign of 1921 was ended and not
until the season Of 1922 was well under
way. wallace's Yearbook OF Trotting
and Pacing came from the press accom-
panied by the semi-official announcement
that the American Trotting Register Az
sociation will ndertake to publish no more
volumes of the series without bonus or
subsidy from some quarter, the expense
Of compilation and printing having be-
come SO heavy as to involve considerable
loss each year.
Abandonment Of the enterprise would
for the first time In moro than fifty
years leave the followers of trotting
performances and pedisrees of the horses
engaged in harness racing and would be
staggering blow to the sport.
For years the A. T. r. A. has been
pleading for a rule in tho harness rae
ing code making 1t compulsory for the
owner OF every horse to register him In
the American Trotting Register before
starting him In race, and It IL now in
timated unofficially that the revenue
from such a rule is necessary to avert
the abandonment OF the Yearbook.
Racing Associations indifferent.
OF the three organizations now exe.. :.
cising authority over harness racing the
Union Trotting Association, with head
quarters In New York, has favored COM
pulsory registration. but the older, larger
and more powerful National Trotting
Association in the East and American
Trotting Association in the West have
not taken kindlysto the project and 1t
seems as far away as the long talked Of
and much to be desired amalgamation
OF the three warning associations, which
must act together to make such n rule
elrective. There can be little doubt that
compulsory registration, II conducted
with decent regard for the integrity of
the stud book. would have a tendency
70 Keep good many horses from being
entered IN races. and this Is just about
the last thing the N. T. A. or the A. T. A.
would like to bring about under existing
conditions.
There is believed to be more than a
possibility that If the A. T. r. A. throws
up the sponge and abandons the Year
Book the N. T. "A. may publish a book
CT annual records somewhat akin to II
ana at least give to horseimen the In
dexed summaries OF all races. II not the
Iuii pedigrees Of all 2 80 performers, as
found In the present annual. Despite his
recent conspicuous faux pas in tracing
the ancestry Of Peter the Great, 2:o7A,
w. II. Gocher. secretary Of the N. T. A.,
has unusual talent for such work as
compiling year book, and he has
shown over and over again that he
would not be averse to adding this to his
other manifold labors in connection with
harness racing. Mr.. Gocher did indeed a
few years ago compile and publish such
an annual for the N. T. A.. but with two
others then in the field. both of which
excelled 1t In interest to .horsemen, the
venture involved financial loss which
made 1t short lived.

Trottins Calendar I'm 1870.

Publication Of indexed summaries OF
trotting races was begun by the AmerJ
can Turf Register and Sporting Mo1a-
zine in 1910. when William T. Porter
became its editor and John Richards its
publisher. After the magazine was dis
continued at the close of 1914 Porter
and Richards kept the important history
Of the turf alive in THE American Rae
ing Calendar" an annual that embraced
the records of both running and trotting.
This survived until the old Spirit of the
Times, Of which Porter was the founder
and Richards the later owner, passed
out of existence at the beginning Of the
war Of secession. From 1851 until 1869
there was no indexed record Of perform
ances, but In the latter year Francis
Haley published the first separate year
book of harness racing in the United
States. 1t was a crude compilation, how
ever, ifh an index Of meetings but none
OF performers, and II lived only a year.
From the Office OF the Turf, Field and
Farm 8. D. Bruce and his associates
published the first Of a series OF racing
calendars called the American Turf
Register to cover the season Of 1870.
This was an Improvement on Haley's
work. but still was crude, and 1t grew
steadily worse until 1t died in 1875. when
John H. Wallace established Wallace's
Monthly. This magazine gave the horse
men once more carefully indexed sum-
maries of all trotting and running races
in America. and 1t is the only available
record of harness racing from 1875 until
1885.
The New York herald., 1922-07-09
First Yearbook in 1885.


In the latter year Wallace launched
his Yearbook. The present writer COM
piled the first volume. and in prepar-
ing copy for the printer named it tho
American Trotting Record, which title
Is to be found in the early page head
ings Of Volume I. as published. 1t has
lately been said that Wallace's Year
Book, as the publisher preferred to call
It. was an offshoot of Wallace's Amer
lean Trotting Register. but this Is q
mistake. II was In fact an offshoot Of
the Monthly, and the separate publica-
ton was due to the circumstance that
the February issue of the magazine, be-
Ing burdened with the bulky index Of
performers and meetings for the year,
as we'll as the complete table of 2 80
trotters arranged under their sires, be-
came too large for convenience, and
also cost too much money for the pocket
Of the struggling publisher who had
to sleep In his Office over Knox's hat
store, at Broadway and Fulton street,
and take his two frugal meals a day
at Smith & McNelPs, down near WASH
ington Market. In order to make both
ends meet.
So little were the Wallace publica-
tions deemed to be worth In those days
that Mr.. Wallace once offered to give
tho writer one-third interest In them
II he would make 1t his lifo work.
Within six years Mr.. Wallace sold the
Register. Monthly and Yearbook for
something like $150.000. after having
saved almost one-half that amount out
Of earnings during the great boom In
breeding trotters that began with the
memorable Glenview sale in 1885.
The men who virtually forced Wal
lace to sell out had been conspicuously
successful In various commercial enter
prises. but they were conspicuous fall
ures In the management of the pur-
chased properties. Within a short time
the Monthly was dead and the Year
Book had gone 70 seed. until It was
commonly referred TO In derision as 1.-THE
yearbook that is still called Wallace's. -
