It is not a question of whether thetheory is true or false, but what do horsemen think ofthat definition of their development theory? Andhow much do they think that naturalists and biolo-gists will investigate this theory if these naturalistsand biologists do their investigating under that kindof a definition?—Horse THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN [Saturday, July 17, 1909.
