"Entirely new renditions confronLthe
turf at the present time than those un?
der which it operated some years ago.
The sport then attracted n number of
our most desirable citizens, but it can
safely be asserted that at no time In
the history of racing have so many
men of wealth and leisure been Inter?
ested m racing BS at present.
"Amateur -port hus contributed a
great deal to this state of affaira, asso?
ciations like Piping Lock having beei
instrumental in cultivating a spirit of
rivalry, which has brought out in the
fullest sense the II like quali
tiei whu-h are so necessary for -
In any sport.
"Among those who are racing for the
pure sport of It might be mentioned H.
L. Pratt, J. E. Dai i, th? Ors?
Stahles, the Deep Hun Stables, North
wood Stables, under which name the
of Mortimer Schiff, of Kuhn,
Loch & Co., are raced; Shoshone

Gerry, Edward F Whitney, a former
partner of J. P. Morgan & Co.; F. Am
broae Clark und Ivan Fox.
"The majority of these men were un?
known to the turf a few years ago, and
it is safe to assert that then 1, imb? ?
will he added to before the beginning
of next season, as there is a growing
fondness for racing in the beat sense of
the word. All of these men are in it
for the love of the horse an?| for the
recreation it brings to them. I take it
as one of the healthiest signs of the
tim? -. aa they are the type of men we
need, if racing is to lie perpetuated and
achieve the importance which .'
"There was a time when the specu
part of racing was obnoxiously
prominent, but that day is happily
past. Speculation we shall always
1 ave, as it is a part of our human nat?
ure snd is something that we ma
strict but never eliminate. Formerly
it controlled, and sport was <i'c,r.
but this season I notice that everybody
? ?? the horses and the"
a larger gallery while Regrol and
Thunderer were being saddled on
Wednesday than I can recall in the
time when racing was at its height in
New York.
"Those from the country disl
who realize the importance of breeding
good hones were amazed at th?
and muscular development of this pair.
1? was an object lesson to them that
horses of this type could he bred in the
? ite of N'-w Jersey. It dem
? trated the benefits of ca?
ing in a manner tha' I con?
vincing.
"I aras Impressed with what Thomas
Welsh said recently about horse breed?
ing in Prance," continued Mr. Hitch
cock, "and also with his suggestion '
that New York State would be render?
ing the agricultural communities a ser
by offering prizes at the fairs for
contests between half-bred horses Mr
Welsh probably had in mind flat racing
only, and while that would be useful I
think the breed would be improved still
more and the market broadened if
races over obstacles mere added.
"There is no horse so scarce to-day
in the markets of the world as the fine
type of hunter, and especially th?
heavyweight animal of this class. Eng?
land s hunter supply has been taken for
war purposes 180,000 head of hun'ers,
thoroughbreds i geldings only i and oth?
er hoi iddle type having been
commandeered since the outbreak of
hostilitiea. If we can breed successors
to these horses the market is ours at
virtually our own figures provided we
teach them the rudiments of the game
for which they are intended.
"Every farmer's boy knows how to
ride, and if he had the incentive of
breeding a horse that could win some
of the races at his own fair, and back
of that a prospective** market for his
mare or gelding, it wouldn't be long
I till we had the keenest sort of sports
I man in the embryo ready for develop?
ment along proper lines.
"It isn't to he ,-'.pe, teil ?hat ever;.
! foal by a thoroughbred s'allton from
a cold-blooded mare would ?i
Into i hunter, for there is the usual per?
centage of culls in all lines of
nig erithavor, whetner it be horse*,
cattle, sheep, dogs or chickens, but a
very great percentage of the fa
would no doubt make cavalry r>
mounts for the army, and we are go?
ing to need them very badly in the
near future.
"The recent announcement that the
United States government has an
option on TOO head of prospective re?
mounts in Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland, where ?.he government's
own thoroughbreds, sadd'ers ar.d
trotters have been standing, is hardly
satisfying to those who read the times
aright. General Scott thought that
2,000 head would be required annu?
ally in times of peace. We shall need
many times 2.000 head annually if

urged by some of the moat keen
? i of "ur |.le i adopted.
"The farmer of the United States,"
said Mr. Hitchcock in conclusion, "is
lening to the necessity of |
a~ much attention to his horses as he
iheep and other
toek. Most of them either own
outright or have a share in pure
