AMERICANS SUPKEME IX TROTTIXO.
America excels In Jockeys, hot not It

beaten. American yacht builders outde

in brred-rs of sporting, and other doga
Ettstlaii.l excels the world. In one great
particular America loses Erigland. That
Is In trotting horses. English roadstera
and trotters have no chanca wtth the
American article. The trotter was devel
oped and produced in this country and ts
cKerlv American, something which can
not te- shM of the running horse.
EriKlish and American football rules
vary too much to nvke a comparison
rrotltable. i:ngl!sh association is eltghtly
plavetl in America. In cricket England
! would have a walk-over: In baseball
I America would win the game way.
In skatlnr and Ice hockey the Brttlen
wo;;ld not have a chnnce. )ere la aa
, other line in which Americans run from
them.
In tine and shotgun shooting Americana
ar away superior to Englishmen.
In hammer-throwing, weights, dlscua.
'tc. the Irih excel both Americans and
I.nicils.'i. and Americans probanlv excel
the Enclish. It Is doubtful If anr Irish or
EnlHlmn can excel Plaw and Rose In
shot-putting and hammer-throwing to
dy. While it may b tsken that, In boxing
and wtcstlltie. both amate'tr sjnd profes
sional. Americans excel also In riding of
nice horses ar.d sp"eUng of trotters,
shootinr and Milling of yachts, it i really
doubtful that ratlves of tiie ITnlted States
have the lirltons bested In anv othr line
of ntlib-tl- or rranjy sport wherein both
nation meet on even terms. In running
hyoi;d vardr they have It on u. In
Isintr-ing the Irish take the nlums. Wolk
Inv is nl-o tn England. Th Irish will
come rrettv c'se to beating area Rose
end I'lnw In the weights. In swimming
and rowing th Britons are away supe
rior In yachting and shooting tha Americans
have the l,est of It.
)n the whole the British excel Amer
icans In two spr.rts to one. in variety of
sports and ittention paid to them they
;cad the wcrld. As lonr as Americans
can produce men to lick them In the prise
rinr r-nd the battlefield, which, after ail.
are the sur-remest test of manly suoerior
Itv. the chances are that they will he sat-I-fiM
