"We came down here in January to get. away from the cold weather in New England and I am feeling better and more comfortable than I would be up north. This is a nice, quiet spot and living here is very reasonable. I only got to two races last summer. once for a night at Saratoga and one night in Fox- boro. Had a lovely time at bbih places but the re-action was not good. However. I am going to try it again this summer. I am very

horsemen in the Maritimes passed on last year. when you lose men like Col. Parker Hooper, Dr. J. A. Johnston. D.

I trust all my friends in the Marl- times are enjoying the best of health and I assure them that among the happiest recollections I have is attending the meeting at Truro at which I was guest speak- er. and the meeting at Charlotte- town where I was banqueted. Yes, the Maritimes have a warm place in my heart."

The morning prior to the Inter- national Ice Races at Moncton last weekend. " Abbott, Doug Macbeod, Harold Cudmore and Bart Younker. visited the stock farm of Leonard Barrleau. Lake- burn. near Moncton. and saw his stables with, the, following horses: Federal 2.0l'.i. widow's Pride 2.05 and brood mares and young stock consisting of Volo Ray. Jeanne Truax. Elsie Louise. Leah Guy. Tonti Patch. " ' Soldier. Pine Ridge Beverly, Polly Reynolds. Lakeburn, Tonti Federal, June Volo. Yours Truly. Maxine Federal, Jimmie Federal. Lady Federal. Miss Patch, and several others All are in wonderful condition. Fed- eral and Polly Reynolds were win- ners in the ice races and several that we mentioned above are brood mares with that records. Mr. Bor- rieau has made a great success in breeding and has sold colts throughout the Maritlmea and Maine and they are turning out well. He is a particularly good jeeder and all the young stock have good site. good legs and feet and are good prospects.

MacMillan had been a resident of that locality all his life and enjoy- ed the friendship and esteem of his neighbors and all others who came in contact with him. He was a great horse lover and many times in the long ago we have seen him driving in races and enjoying himself to the fullest at his track in Summerviile. one of the best performers and the one he liked the best was Sharpsburg 2.171;, a. really good trotter that with "Mac" handling the ribbons could show his heels to some of the best in the land. Mr. MacMillan attained a great age-95. and his passing was peaceful. To the surviving me rs of the family we on be- half of ourselves and horsemen friends, extend our deep sympathy.

W. 0. "Bill" Gillespie has been many things in his career and has always made a success of every- thing he tackled. When he took over the secretaryship of the Prince Edward Island Harness Rhclug Club we knew that his boundless energy would bring it right to the front. 'I'he'big entry list last year and the night racing program when the events were run off. will be fresh in many minds. This year he has broken all records with an en- try list of 101 two. three and four- year-olds. Fiheen of these are from Nova Scotia. in from New Bruns- wick and 70 from the Garden of the Gulf. The list is well worth the perusal of every friend of horse racing.

These Futurlties have been the means of developing many of our best performers in recent. years. Take for instance June Morning 2.04 3-5. the fastest pacing mare ever bred in the Maritimes and the fastest pacing mare in the New England atates over a half-mile track in 1950. Then take Colonel Dan 2.06 3-6. winner repeatedly at Roosevelt and Yonkers. Both these raced in our futurttisa, These are just in of dosens we could name that made a modest appearance II a two-year-old and three-yeah old and continued on to greater careers. '

below a wooded ridge to westward. I left to walk to a neighbor's. I knew lid pass the woods where one of the big cock pheasants roasted and had a fleeting thought of the pair of hcrned owls, spot- ted by the crows, that had set up housekeeping less then a quarter rile from the pheasants hangout, as my eyes rested momentarily on the 2 riilc standing in the corner- I often carry the rifle for coni- pany on my Woodland jaunts but decided against taking it. I should have played my hunch.

I reached the road and had turned east along the pheasant woods. I had a mental picture of the big bird, his long colourful tail draping over a limb as he hugged the trunk of some bushy spruce and at this moment heard impact oi wings on spruce or fir boughs and the excited squeal of a great hcrned owl. It wasn't a hoot. A horned owl has quite a vocabulary although quite a few are unaware of this. A split sec- ond later I heard two of them giv- ing out sharp whistles. I was glad of this for it indicated their quarry had eluded them. They sometimes whistle when frustrat- ed or vexed over! something. I didn't figure it was the DM3-Bani? they were after for I imagine old Ring-necked would raise quite a rumpus if they had been trying to ccrner him.

I waited with both ears cocked and eyes open. Then I saw one of the big birds gliding through the spruce tops toward the lake bar- .-cns. Suddenly, a spruce spire less then 100 yards in the woods. sprouted a big owl. It was bare one moment and the next there he was. In the clear twilight H131 prevails after the sun has set and darkness is in the offing.the big bird offered a perfcdct target. The big round head surmountiniz I broad breast. that tapered off to- ward the tall. stood out in bold re- lief. involuntarily my arm muscles tensed in a movement in ' - to bring a gun to my shoulder and then realizing I had left it in the porch. I found myself sprinting back up the lane. I was too late, when I got back to the road the spruce spire was empty. I wond- ered how ma pheasants. grouse or rabbits I'd ave saved if I had have taken the rifle in the first instance.

I went into the woods and tried my luck. Nothing doing. There was only one crop of owls sprouting from the spruce spires this part-

Burgin Wants Try Al Featherweight Tiile S0-(E

By CLAUDE WOLF? CINCINNATI. March 9-rAP)-.- Eddie Burgin. the kid with the soft voice and the iron fists, wants a crack at the featherweight title "as-soon as possible."

Little Eddie had appeared in only two main bouts before scor- mg a technical knockout over Ray Famechon. the European 126 pound champion. Tuesday night.

The slender Ne-gro fought Fam- echon in typical But-gin style. He did what Willie Pep, then the champion. failed to do in stopping the French boy. .

Famechon bored in with the op- ening bell. Near mid-round. Bur- gin's right crashed against Fame- chon's chin, and down went the Frenchman.

l-lelwas up at the count of three. but it went to eight, under local rules, before the bout was resum- ed. It took just 52 seconds of the second round for Burgin to shoot through a terrific left hook. and Fameohon dropped to the floor a- gain.

When he got up, it was obvious to most ringsiders that he was on "queer street."

tile moved into Burgin. pushed him away, and walked sidewlse to- ward the ropes. his left hand out- stretched.

Tony Warndorf. the referee, said he asked Famechon if he was all right. and got this response:

"No. no, quit."

Later, Famechon, through an interpreter, said he was misunder- stood. He said he meant to tell the referee that he was o.k. and wanted to continue the bout. He added that he did not remember walking away from Burgin.

Both Warndorf. Famechon and Lew Burston, the visiting tighter'e American manager, had their say before a special meeting of the Boxing Commission today.

That session ended with every- body loving everybody else. and with Fameohon getting a cheque for 34,299.60. He had been guar- anteed S3,000 for the l0-round bout, or a percentage of the gate.

The Boxing Covm-mission released Fa.mcchon's purse by a 3-2 vote. It had ordered the money upheld
