Mr f/awlay Smart, the writer of the articles on •• The Present State of the Tmf, ’ in hg thirl article ears The carni of thn turf at present lies in the mu.liplicity of rici m, wbeceby horses are ran o2 tlimr li-tjs. tie;, ls art radaced to s minimum, sod contests are made uninteresting. Tear hy year, too, the extortionate isxaiioo exercised oa racecourses Uuda to exelnde the true iporUman, the mao who loree horse*, and loves to see them pitud against each other, and to snpport his own judgment by a modest wager. At many ol the country meeting* more is aaked now tor entrant* to the stand to witness two or Iferea day i racing, than is demanded at Ascot to look on at the beat four consecutive dars' to the world. And why ? Simply to •oable the Iwm to iecraase the added money nflcwotlj to held h>* own amidst the fierce competition for the patronage of owners of (•ears. He knows that though a few of these ■ay nee bars and there for whim, or a liking to ran bones in their own neighbourhood the majority of them go where the at ikes are highest Theta ia too much racing too much abort distance racing, and too ■«neh premature racing. We are breeding •ad rwaaiag as grand horaea as ever we did bat it ia aery doubtful whether we hare as tmmjitvm* amongst them as of old. whilst Wt tow tort ortr tour ypan old ia training. ”
