Excerpt from Turf Memories of Sixty Years AT no time during the past sixty years has public interest in the Turf been greater than it is to-day. Not only are contemporary events enthusiastically fol lowed, but racing history itself is often discussed with an ardour that would gladden the hearts of bygone Turf celebrities were they alive now. In the hope that it may revive memories for the older section of racegoers, and be instructive to the younger generation, this volume has been written. I often wonder if it is generally realised how numer ous are the former. Habitues of the various race meetings are among the healthiest and longest living people in the country. The average man who attends a race meeting seldom realises the immense mental and physical benefit thus obtained. The fresh air, the spirit of cheery good-fellowship that pervades almost every gathering of racing folk, and the excitement of watching varying phases of a race, are to me the finest tonic in the world, and I have seldom left a racecourse without feeling well braced up in mind and body. Whether the present generation will rival their racing forebears in the matter of longevity is a debatable point.

Excerpt from The American Turf Fora decade more than the three score years and ten allotted by a gracious Providence to man I have been awaiting the solemn call which comes to all human kind to weigh in, and then to the great Steward make account of the use to which I put the opportunities that came to me. In the active competition of life, when rivalries were keen, when ambitions created new fields and contests kept alert both mind and body, there was little time, indeed, to do more than merely store away in unclassified groups in memory events and incidents each one deserving of a sep arate chapter. To write a history of the American turf had long been a cherished project, but each day of a life of practically unremitting and exacting labor interfered until the westering sun of my eightieth year warns me that I must be up and doing if I would achieve my cherished ambition and leave behind me something which I trust will be worthy tribute to the best and the noblest sport that it is given to man to enjoy. If in the chapters which are to come there should be noted a tone of enthusiastic optimism, let the reader realize that sixty-five years of my life were spent in the activities oi the turf as a jockey, a trainer and an owner; that I have seen, and in many of them personally participated, practically all of. The great contests which gave fame to our thorough breds; that I have traveled on foot through valleys and over mountains, when but rough paths pointed the way between places now drawn close together by the bands of great trunk line railroads, leading the horse that was on conquest bent; that I spent weary weeks on journeys that now would be but the occupation of one brief day of luxurious travel; thati have seen the upward and the onward progress which has marked the rise of the thoroughbred in America from a little meet in some isolated though sport-loving place to the magnificent seasons of Belmont Park.
