DOPING . OF HORSES .1$' S.TILL
COMMON
• . .
proposals were inrldes recently • in
this country. for establishing •i series
of testa to determine whether r'ace-
h'orses were doped or, t,ot before' they
went tin the course.
• These suggestions met .yvith gen=
eral• ridicule in the -press. It was ;ar-
-gued that -those who were responsible'
for putting them .forward had been
inspired by: sensational films in s'thich
crooked race horse. owners and jock-
eys . injected • dangerous 'drugs by'
means of a hypodermic 'syringe into
horses ,that, but 'for • these ;irtificial
stimulants, would atand'.little• chance
of winning,
While 'it is. true .that the ,prevalence
of •the practice .has been greatly ex-
aggerated at tames by writers, who
should•know•better, there is also no'
doubt whatever, in the mind of any
experiertced'i`acing.expert, that -•hors-'
es are. occasionally doped—especially
in..An erica..Brittiin, 'however, has, an,
extremely clean record''tn'th'is respect.
Indeed, apart fromthe, moral as-
`peets of the case -and' the' standard
'of .racing in .this respect is„probably'
,higher in this country tlian . anywhere
else• in the. world= -it Would be ex
tremely difiicullt. for any unscrupulous

remiting for scoundrels :of this type,
to prosecute this type of racing crime
'for long.. '•
• Rac e -horses are .sensitive beasts,
and. they °are trailed to .stack' a pitch
'of efficiency that the effects .of even'
aniall 'auentlties of .;"dope" on their
highly -strung• organisms• become evi-
dent • at once to a skilful. observer.:
• Yet• cases of doping ,are not un,
known in 'Great.'Britain, as the Hon.
G..Lambton; for 'many years trraingr
to Lod 'Derby, and an acknoy ledged .
authority on the' turf,• has • just reveal- •
ed in his.'book,, "Men and; Horses I
Hiave Known" (Butterworth), In' 1900

had .become a scandal.

horse, which after winning° a' ,..race,
dashed madly into a ',tone Wel:Vend
l.i'Ied . 'itself. He placed the natter
before :'t steward. <if the jockey ci'ub.
who, however. took a sceptical vievi•
of it. Mr: Lambton had ser'ral' "ro-
gues"•..in,.his ;sta:ble at the time, and
he informed the stewards that he in.:
tended to .done them ' .so „that they
could see for themselves what the re-
sults were.

ing called Folkestone. I sent hem tc
Pontefract,'where• he, beat a field'of
fourte^n very easily, and nearly went
round the course, second time before
his jockey could • pull . him. up. He won
a race again the next- day: was sold.
and never' wen again: •
•"`.I lead told my brrother.. Lord Dur-
ham, What •I was don. 'So 'much did
he dislike this •doping that he was in-
clined to object to my. having any-
thing to do with, • it.'Bet When ,I ex-
plained that tiny .ehject was to open
the eyes of the •stewards., he withdrew
•his objection; but begged me not to
.have a shilling 'on any horse, with a
dope in him.. To this I agreed:"
The famous trainer -then procured
six dopes from • a veterinary surgeon
He did not inject these with ;a needle
but just eave them out of a ..bottle.
The effects of these were amazing.
Lambton . •used five of them—;and•
.had four winners and a second. Not

Value of Health
When we have health we are 'free
from disease and physical defects;
we' are living • at the highest level
with our •physical and mental capac-
ities at their 'best: Health is not a
matter of big muscles; it is a condi-
tion of fitness of the whole individual
mint as well as body*.
We do trot know any person who
would suggest that the 'possession of
health is not desirable. or that it ik
net worth. wile. We believe that any-
one who gives a moment's thought
to the. subject .must' agree.that heal-
th is well 'worth striving far. •
We. shalt- enumerate a few of t'ie
hatters which go. to prove `the value
of health. because those,' who enjoy
health may become careless of ore
of their' most precious possessions
unless they are reminded occasionally
of fs ivorth.'fhe titne'ta tFiiii ;of the
safeguarding of a precious thing i
while it is till ,in otir possession, not
after it has ' been lost.
• Health and happiness go- .hand iin
hand. Disease is an enemy of human
happiness. We do admire the courage
displayed by some' persons in the face
of s'nrtyering borne' with little cern-
plaint, but no none of Us sul*gests that
to be' happy we should first of all
beeimie ill.
Beauty ' is' a reflection , of health:
Lack of health steals daftly* the-lesitt
