Muoh business of importance to horse breeder! was trana-acted trana-acted by the executive committee of the American Trotting Register association yesterday. After a long discussion it was voted to incorporate a rule in the by-laws that any pacer otherwise eligible eligi-ble may be admitted for registry as standard when it has made a record in accordance with the rules of the association as-sociation of 3:25 or better. It was agreed that it was of vital importance that some safeguard be thrown abound the registry to avoid any contingency of an appeal from the decision of the regristrar. The effect of this was a board of censors was appointed con-sitting con-sitting of Lucas lirodbead, of Kentucky, W, P. Ijanis, of , Indiana, Indi-ana, and C. F. Kmory, of Ohio. This board will have absolute authority in matters of registry. Rules were also adopted directing that the year book shall contain a complete summary of all harness races, and that all performances perform-ances agoinst time shall be at a regular meeting of a society in membership wiih the American or National associations, associa-tions, and co idu cted by the regular officials of-ficials of such societies. This is iui-rortant iui-rortant because hitherto there has been great uncertainty in many cases about the authenticity of records against lime. It shall neither constitute consti-tute a record nor be for the purposes of registration. Mr. Broadhead, when asked about the prospect! for consolidation, consoli-dation, said: "The National Breeders' association is willing to join un but cannot can-not legally take action until December. At that time there is uo doubt but a consolidation will be effected." |
