HORSEMEN AND OTHERS EDITED BY GEORGE CoaTES, V. It has been a settled idea of late years that local horsemen should go to Uxbridge on the 24th and bring 'Home as many prizes as they could. They generally got their share, too. This year another attraction has sprung up in the sh days' face at Oshawa (May 24 and 25) with four prizes of $300 each. Of course this style of race, With sich bait as-that dangling, is likely to attract some of the big fellows; and the man who has just a pretty fair trotter of pacer, would 'stand only a poor show of doing anything but bringing up'the rear. Of course they can sit on the fence and see-the other fellow go byr but that isn't just the same. as bringing home the red ribbon.

Beside there are times when animal can't get out to ruby anyway. 'The farmer who keeps a well groomed driving horse. is likely have ofher things round the farm in good shape. Then one day, before the farmer realizes what has happened, the driver has become valuable, and someone will'stagger him by offering a couple or three hundred dollars for the horse.
