Automobiles Threaten Light Harness Racing in Nation
New York reports that auto racing challenges harness racing as fairs seek fresh interest. A National Association board in Murray Hill formed a six member committee to craft uniform rules with the American Trotting Association. Members include John C. Welte, W. E. Goucher, Pierre Lorillard Jr., John Berry, De Forest Setrie, and E. W. Swisher with alternates named. The aim is to restore trotting’s appeal, addressing breeders’ incentives and scarce horse supply at fairs like Wheeling where purses of 37,090 attracted few horses.
