Horse Racing at Agricultural
Fairs.
Several applications having been
made to this Department by various
Agricultural Societies for an inter-
pretation of section 29 of The Agri-
culture and Arts Act, 1895, the
following is given to the officers and
directors for their guidance as being
tbe evident intention of the Legisla-
ture when passing the, Act. By
section 9 of the said Act, the object
of such societies, as relating to live
stock, is confined to two things, (a)
the purchase or importation of valu-
able animals,1tl) awarding premiums
for excellence in the raising of stock,
ete. Sub -section 3 of this section de-
clares that none of the funds shall be
expended for any purpose inconsis-
tent with the above. The opinion
of the Legislature, as expressed 'in
section 29, was that horse racing as
ordinarily conducted is illa�eonsistent
with the objects above set forth. It
is presumed., therefore, in awarding
premiums for light horses of any
elms, that form, sonnd.ness raiid 'style
shall always be considered .as well as
speed, and. that. no horse shall be
placed first for speed alone. If, in
the judgnt of the offrcersor,ji'wdges,
it is deeolned desirable to test the
speed of the 'contesting horses, it is
:allowable fonder this clause to do so,
but the primes must in every ease be
awarded on general excellence as
seen in the ;above characteristics. It
Is not intended that purses .shall be
offered. made up of deposits .or entry
fees front owners of contesting
horses, but that premiums shall be
.offered in ttse ordidary way. The
'operation of this clause will do away
with the pnot�essional race horse at
our agricultural shows, and tend to
promote the development and en-
courage the breeding of socnnd,
stylish, high-stepping horses, so much
in demand in the great horse
markets of the world. It is hoped.
therefore that directors of Agrteul-
tural Societies will rigidly and cheer-
fully enforce the regulation as thus
set forth.
