TYPKS OF HORSES. 257 



Bay, all bay in color, strongly marked, upward of sixteen 

 hands and good travelers. They are good long distance 

 horses and much in demand, both in England and Amer- 

 ica. 



I have always contended that harness racing should be 

 classed as a quasi-amateur sport. Not one man in ten 

 who breeds or campaigns trotters does it with the expecta- 

 tion of making money. They go into it for the fun they 

 can have, the same as the man who buys a yacht or who 

 keeps a shotgun or a brace of setters. And they expect to 

 pay for their sport. Everybody, from the millionaire 

 breeder to the farmer boy, hopes to bring out a winner or 

 a' world beater some day, and when you come right down 

 to it, that's the backbone and mainstay of the trotting turf. 

 Eliminate that spirit and there would not be a Grand Cir- 

 cuit meeting.
