supervised Trotting Register, the idea to which I first gave publicity and which I strongly advocated, a record of 2,30 as the basis of the speed standard, was turned to practical account. I am particular in stating the facts in detail, because under the rules of 1881 and 1882 the evolutionary period of breeding was given force. Mr. Wallace later disagreed with his Censors and the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders, and under compulsion of rivalry which would have brought ruin to him, he sold out to the American Trotting Register Association, of which William Russell Allen is president. All interests were harmonized by this transfer, and all pedigrees are now registered with the new association. The rules for registration were changed from time to time, and those now in force read: —

"The Trotting Standard

"When an animal meets these requirements and is duly registered it shall be accepted as a standard-bred trotter: —

" I. The progeny of a registered standard trotting horse and a registered standard trotting mare.

" 2. A stallion sired by a registered standard trotting horse, provided his dam and grandam were sired by registered standard trotting horses, and he himself has a trotting record

of 2.30 and is the sire of three trotters with records of 2.30, from different mares.

''3. A mare whose sire is a registered standard trotting horse, and whose dam and grandam were sired by registered standard trotting horses, provided she herself has a trotting record of 2.30, or is the dam of one trotter with a record of 2.30.

''4. A mare sired by a registered standard trotting horse, provided she is the dam of two trotters with records of 2.30.

** 5. A mare sired by a registered standard trotting horse, provided her first, second, and third dams are each sired by a registered standard trotting horse.

''The Pacing Siandard

''When an animal meets these requirements and is duly registered, it shall be accepted as a standard-bred pacer: —

" I. The progeny of a registered standard pacing horse and a registered standard pacing mare.

" 2. A stallion sired by a registered standard pacing horse, provided his dam and grandam were sired by registered standard pacing horses, and he himself has a pacing record of 2.25, and is the sire of three pacers with records of 2.25, from different mares.

"3. A mare whose sire is a registered standard pacing horse, and whose dam and grandam were sired by registered standard pacing horses, provided she herself has a pacing record of 2.25, or is the dam of one pacer with a record of 2.25.

"4. A mare sired by a registered standard pacing horse, provided she is the dam of two pacers with records of 2.25.
