sheer, owner and trainer, than for the experi- 

 enced in the business, although the wisest may 

 possibly be benefited in a small way by a care- 

 ful perusal of its contents. My other reason for 

 writino- very plainly is that it is the only lan- 

 guage 1 am familiar with. 



Writing- a book of this size looks easy, but 

 it is not in this instance, because I have con- 

 densed everything, trying to put in clear and 

 concise form, in these few pages, information 

 that could easily be made to fill a book twenty- 

 five times as large as this one. If, however, 

 you and the central figure in your dreams of 

 glory on the trotting tracks, are in the least 

 benefited by reason of its having been written, 

 I shall feel well repaid for my humble efiforts 

 in your behalf.
