6 NATIONAL STANDARD PACING HORSE BREEDERS CO. 



The Padng Standard has increased the value of the pacer greatly. He is 

 the coming horse for track, saddle and general purposes. Gentlemen who are 

 largely interested in pacers labored long and earnestly for the admission of the 

 pacer to a standard rank in the Trotting Registry, but without avail. They 

 then organized and incorporated this Company. The Office of Register came 

 to the writer unsolicited, and its coming found him in grave doubt as to his 

 ability or fitness for the position. But we took up the work as we found it, 

 and have labored with honest purpose to do justice to all interests and persons. 

 We have sought light and information from all sources which gave Jjromise of 

 help. No doubt we have made mistakes, perhaps ludicrous blunders. If our 

 readers find much to criticize, many errors to correct and omissions to fill, we 

 hope they will kindly call our attention to them promptly, that they may be 

 properly corrected in volume No. 2, as we shall be most happy to avail of your 

 help in making it more worthy of the full approval of the public. 



Widespread and getteTa I -paixonage have made the Trotting Register of 

 immense interest in increased value of trotting stock. The road is open, and 

 i/ie guide board points the way to the same realization in largely increased value 

 to the pacer , as pacing horse owners continuously rally to their o~ivn Standard 

 and promptly register their stock. 



The fee for Standard registration in our book has been reduced from ^2.00 

 to $i.oo, to stockholders, and other patrons the same.
