The many friends of E. F. Acorn, who was for years connected with harness racing either as an owner or starter. wlil regret to learn that he suffered an accident this week which resulted in his leg being broken. Yesterday his con- dition was reported as very satis- factory. Ed will no doubt come out of this as he has from other illnesses with the same imdaunted spirit and buoyant cheerfulness.

About a week ago W. R. Dennlg, proprietor of the Cash and Corry grocery. who plans building White Spot Raceway. St. Peter's Road. suffered a stroke. Yesterday his condition was reported as pretty much the same. The many friends of Mr. Dennis are hoping for a complete recovery.

Phonograph is a son of Volomite 2.03%. dam Symphonla 2.03, and is a full brother of Sonata 3, 2.05, rece.ntly purchased by Gainesway Farms, Lexington, from Dr. F. C. Dougsn.

.Edwin Keller who acts as race secretary for Old Orchard Beach, Maine, Grand Circuit meets, is the racing secretary at Santa An- ita, California, and he is busy tak- ing entries for the meetings there and at Hollywood which will be {coed in April and May. By ex- enslve advertising and by solicit- ing owners all over the United States, hundreds of horses have been pledged to'go to far away California to start their 1946 cam-

paigns. _ ._o_

The purses are most generous and the climate. and track condit- ions all that could be desired, in fact it is a horseman's dream ac- Cofding to what we have read about the California setup.

Horse papers are carrying l lot of ads of horses for sale and flll prices asked are really startling. One of the ads is for a seventeen- year-old horse which is recom- mended as a good prospect to race in California. As we have not scen where this horse raced for several years we would think a buyer would have considerable difficulty turning him into a winner.

The Maine Racing Commission announced on January 19th that 1t had cancelled all the agricul- tural fair dates which were an- nounced by the commission the week previous. They said that owing to controversies by some of the fair associations over the llates allotted, dates assigned to the l5 race meetings 1946 would PE cancelled until the new commis- sion meets sometime late in Janu- ary. We have several times heard parties advocating a racing com- mission for the Maritime-s. Evi- dently racing commlsslons do not solve dlfilcultles any better than meetings of track owners.

Thousands of horsemen in the United States and Canada were shocked to heal' that Will Gallag- nn, glstrai" of the American Trotting Register Association had glossed away in Goshen, New York.

To those who have been preparing their horses in recent years the time mad‘, in the events‘ at Charlottetown on June 3rd and Halifax on June 19th may seem very fast for such early season meetings. It must be remembered. however. that horsemen ln those days kept their horses practically in racing condition all winter and it did not take too many miles to key them up.
