On one occasion. while at Jamaica

Gus kinds that Il Is to be feared tho
same amount OF interest Is not taken
In equine sports as was the case
formerly.
The love OF the horse. which is
such marked characteristic of all
the English speaking races. should
never be allowed to die out or to
grow stagnant. for II has had a
great deal to do in making them
what they are.
THE sport OF racing is. so to speak.
the climax OF MI other sports In
which the horse takes part. and Its
influence on the people OF n country
Is thus most important from sport
Ing point of View. II stimulates
hunting and polo. because the MAIN
tcnance of thoroughbred stock in
sures the breeding OF a kind of horse
best adapted for these purposes.
The Influence which racing cxer-
ciscs upon the breed OF horses Is
proved by the character OF American
sport throughout recent years. AS
more and more thoroughbred stock
has been introduced into the coun-
try. the sport of racing has beconh.
much more general elsewhere. and Il
now practically a great national pas
time. The breed OF horses Is thus
improved. and we see hunting on the
English pattern existing In most
parts OF the country where the class
OF horse used shows power and qual-
lily.
Tho marked success OF America In
the field OF international polo is
largely due to their superior mounts.
which again can be directly traced TO
the maintenance OF thoroughbred
stock and the greater interest taken
In the sport OF racing
Il do not know 81 our old friend,
MT. Jorrocks. Is as popular In Amer

This Is perhaps somewhat cxag-
gerated view. hut there Is much
truth In the general statement
England owed much at the outset
of the war to the fact that she had
been for generations Il hunting and
a racing country.
THE democracy OF the turf Is one
or It's most valuable and marked
characteristics. There Is nothing
like II TO bring people together and
establish a common understanding
and happy reunion among them. This
never came out so conspicuously as
during the last few years In Ireland.
In the hunting field and on the race
course the warning elements met on
common ground and the voice OF
rnncor and hatred was stllled"
