PROCEEDINGS IOWA STATE FAIR MANAGERS ASSN. 57 



a good fellow, you are simply inviting trouble. The men that own 

 harness horses are made up of the same kind of people that make up 

 your bankers, your merchants and all your professional men. There 

 are many men among them, as there are in all other classes of life, 

 good sportsmen and some that are not good sportsmen. Don't confuse 

 a real sportsman with a sport. A good sportsman is one who is a good 

 loser, one who can see both sides, and there are not all men constituted 

 so they can be good sportsmen. So whenever you deviate from the rules 

 even to please these men you will get into trouble. 



Of all things you do, don't suppress time. This talk that you can't 

 get horses unless you suppress time is foolish. The horsemen need 

 the fairs as much as the fairs need the horsemen. What we are in- 

 terested in is having contests, not one horse leading the field and get- 

 ting the money with the rest of them nowhere. If you are going to 

 have good races you must give the actual time so that the horses will 

 be properly classified. Don't listen to the man who tells you if his horse 

 gets a certain record his value is injured. That is not true. Give them 

 what they get, treat ^them courteously and require them to put on a good 

 clean race. 



President Estel : The Credential Committee will report at this
