Murphy, Charles Valentine, "Mike" McDevitt, and Dick McMahon. In one year Mr. Murphy won ;^86,iio in various races. The distribution of the standard-bred horse is very general over the United States, although more especially east of the Missouri River. It is the most adaptable of horses and seems well suited to the sunny South or to the cooler latitudes farther to the north. The automobile has re- duced the interest in maintaining stables of standard-breds, except- ing in a limited num- ber of cases, where horses are specifically bred for the race course and for gentle- men's drivers. Ameri- can trotters have been exported to some extent in the past, more especially to Russia, Austria, and Germany. Russians were considerably interested and were good buyers prior to the World War. In 1911 Bit and Spur stated that more than one hundred of our fastest and best-bred trotting stallions had been exported, and gave a list of eighteen, including Cresceus, with records ranging from 2:02| to 2:o9|. The official promotion of the standard-bred horse is under the supervision of the American Trotting Register Association, with headquarters for many years at Chicago. The " Trotting Register " was established and first published in 1871 by J. H. Wallace. The American Trotting Register Association purchased the register from Mr. Wallace and also an annual yearbook of records which he also published. Since then these two sets of volumes have been known as Wallace's "American Trotting Register " and Wallace's " Yearbook of Trotting and ; Up to and including 1918 the former comprised twent^tiWftelaKgffiyMalstHies and the latter thirty-four.
