Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Answer of the Committee on Rules of the Breeders' Trotting Stud Book to the Address of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders
And now, turning from the history of our undertaking to the criticisms of the National Association, we wish it, in the first place, distinctly understood that the impression sought to be made in its Address that we were indebted to Mr. Wallace or the National Association, for even so little as one thought that is contained in our standard, is false. On the contrary, the National Association has appropriated from our rules all that is good in theirs. Before this Asso ciation heard of our rules, neither it nor Mr. Wallace had the faintest conception of what should constitute a standard. A careful reading of the Association's organ (wallace's Monthly) prior to November, 1878, or even prior to the publication of our rules in it (march, will establish this fact. And, in like manner, we wish it as distinctly understood that we have never appropriated, never shall appropriate, and never intended to appropriate any of Mr. Vvallace's labor in the compilation of our Stud Book.
