some of the contributors and collaborators, but no addi- 

 tions or omissions have been made. 



The matter following page 119 is new, except the first 

 appendix. The story and photo of Peter Volo as a three- 

 year-old are also new. 



A few changes in old matter have been made, but they 

 are too slight to note except the paragraphs on "shoeing 

 of 1911, 1912 and 1913 Colts." These have been lifted from 

 chapter 6 and entirely rewritten for new chapter 7, with 

 additional information concerning 1914 colts.

Introduction to Third Edition. 



The second edition of this book was exhausted even 

 more quickly than the first and a third edition is now 

 required within a year of publication. 



Not only is "Care and Training of Trotters and Pacers" 

 the first book on the subject in over 20 years but it is 

 the most popular book on the trotting horse ever pub- 

 lished. Previous works" in its field belong to the high 

 wheel sulky era and are as much out of date as that style 

 of vehicle. 



The changes in and additions to the third edition may 

 be briefly specified as follows: 



The chapter on "Shoeing Colts," which followed Chapter 

 III in the first two editions, now follows Chaptei- V (old 

 Chapter VI). To this chapter on "Shoeing Colts" has 

 been added "Appendix No. 2" of the second edition. This 

 change centralizes the important subject of shoeing in 

 four successive chapters. 



A new chapter has been added on "Feeding." To this 

 chapter is added the remarks on "Chronic Indigestion" 

 which appeared as "Appendix No. 1" in the first two edi- 

 tions, and the remarks on "Feeding Colts" which appeared 

 in the chapter of "Miscellany" in the second edition. 



A new chapter has been added on "Grooming the Horse 

 on Race Day." 



We would be glad to have suggestions from tlie readers 

 of this work on improving it should a fourth edition be 

 necessary.
