IIDWN THE BACK STRETCH

President elect Roosevelt has _been presented with a Christmas gift which pleases him greatly. It is the tau of-thdl great tmnplg horse Gloster, which was bred by his father, James Roosevelt.

Remy M. Jones, a noted breed- er and authority on trott ng horses, died recently at Lexington, Ky. At the time of his death he had among other horses on his farm Mr. Mc- Elwyn 1.59 1-4 who has since been moved to Arrow Point Far-up; Lox- ington, Ky.

American trotters were raced in Austria more than fifty ‘years ago. In the returns of 1885 upwards of twenty - American trotting bred trotters appeared and American drivers‘ mentioned were (iiddings, i-Iendrickson and McPhec.

FTflemlnlilg is only 22 years old and his win was warmly applauded by the crowd.

December 8th at lifiian, Italy, the Prlmio Gricsto stake for 25,000 llrc was won by Plucky, Guy Fletcher second, Jessamine third, Nctworth fourth. All these were prominent on the American trucks prior to being exported to Italy. On the same day at Rome, Italy, Eycbrighi, an out- standing three year old a few years ago in the U.S.A., won one of the

races on the card. At San Ciro; Italy, on Dcccmbcr 3rd, Keno who, was a clove second ill the Iicniucky l Futurity two yours ago, won the, Prcnllo Rnlilli stakc, pulse, 8,000‘ ltres. The event was at a distance’ of about a mile and, n quarter and - the time averaged was 2.14 14. Tile \Vill Cuion ixizilalc zit Syra- cuse.

Ringing, or the substitution of a record horse for a. non-record or slower class horse, hos petty well passed out on humess horse tracks. This is duo to the tenacity wth which the National Trotting Aso- ctatlon pursue those who 0118086 in the practise. As examples we quote the following. Andy McDowell was sent to Moscow, Russia, to ex- amine a horse that was bong raced - at Russian brcd. Ho was found to be Ofilund L. sold by IWCDOWOII B! Lexington, Ky., to a Russian horse- man. Dick McMahon a-as sent to Denmark, to examine a horse rao-i ed as Jack Dempsey. Hc proved to' be the American tmtter Radbon. These are just a few of the more extensive trips‘ taken by agents 01 the National Trotting Association - ‘to identify ringers.

Among the ice trotting records which we notice in the American Horse Brcedcr of Dcccmbcr 18th. we find one mile in a race credited t0 ‘I210 Yank 2.14 1-4.

Whllc on the subject of high DIICES, one old time sale stands out as indicative of loose change being in evidence, the particular period being in March 0f 1890 when L. J. Rose, Los Angeles, Cal., consigned 87 head of trotting stock to "l6 Peter c. Kellogg vendue at New York and tile lot brought $235,905, or an average of $2,712.59 to be ex- act. The two year old Voodoo brought $24,100, going to F. G. Bab- oock, Horncllsvllle, N. Y., and Re- verie, another of the same age, was secured by Robert Bonner of New York for $10,000. In the lot were 14 yearlings which ranged from $1.025 to $0,100, the latter sum being paid for a bay colt by stamboul.

One of the oldest producers to our knowledge was Flora Langfmd, as when twenty-seven she fooled Lillian Wilkes (3) 2.17 3-4, by Guy Wilkes 2.15 14. a highly regarded filly which secured her record in defeating the one time champion Sunol 2.08 1-4, at Petaluma, Cali- fomla, August 20, 1809.

ZION CUBS

Three meetings have been held since the notes were last published.

The meeting on Monday, Dec. 10 was of special interest as it was at this meeting that the Christmas Boxes were packed and prepared for mailing. .

Grateful acknowledgment of these parcels has since been received by the Cubmastcr, and we are assured that two families in P. E. I. were made happy.

'A meeting was held the ‘Tuesday evenng following Christmas and the Cubs’ were pleased to find l. Christmas Tree laden with bags 0f candy for each member of the Pack.

A new member Robert Brown has been hunting with the pack for the last few meetings and will be in- vested ln the near future.

The last meeting was held on Tuesday, Jan. 2nd. The first Pa" of the period was spent in games in the basement after which they removed to their own room for the study period. The Cubs were pleas- ed. to have Mrs. James Walker and Sterling as guests at the meeting. Rev. G. G. Webster also visited the Pack and extended to them his New Year's greetings. Cubs take noticfl that Waldo Dlngweli is in the lead in the compettion for the Black Fbx Provincial Badge to be award- ed to‘ the First Zion Cub to pass all his First Star Tests. You still have a chance to win.

1ST SUMMERSIDE TROOP

Regular meetings are being held, but with only moderate attendance. Possible Christmas festivities have brrn receiving prior claims. It is hoped that future meetings will be fully attended as there is consid- erable First Class Scout instruction to be gone over.
