We too, add ours and we are sure they are joined in by horsemen all over the Maritimes.

Fred Lahey and George Turner of Dartmouth, were visitors here lust weekend and early part of i1 s week. Both were looking very happy and hearty and had many pleasant conversations with horsemen friend-s. We asked Mr. [J3he)'| who is President of Truro Raceway, Ltd, what the plans are for this year. He said, “We hope to have a real good season. We have put a lot of work on

the track resurfacing it and building up the first turn. We are confident it will be a safe

fast track worthy of the best trot- tors and pacers in the Maritimes. Our stable accommodation has ‘been enlarged so that we will be able to take carh of 125 race horses. Little d-eiails that in our first season escaped us, will be remedied and every effort will be made to place before our patrons programs that will give the greatest enjoyment.

We think we made a very good start last year and are very grate- ful to the many horsemen who r-upported us and also to the pub- lic for their generous patronage. Our first program will be on Sat- urday night June 17th and will continucrevery Saturday night un- til Exhibition week the latter part of August. Class races will be out with the exception of a free-for-all trot. free-for-all pace at our Exhibition meeting and possibly other fast clases, but as a rule horses will be classified ac- cording to their racing ability. For fast record horses that have passed their peak we will ar- range conditioned races. The ob- iect of all the racing will be of course to give the public worth- \\‘l'ill'(‘ contests with close finishes ind also tu give every horseman n chance to race his horse and win money.

chalking up a, fast goal in the first 20 seconds of play which was sni-ped by Turner on a passing attack with MacFayden. for a one goal advantage, the rest of the period was a really nip and tuck affair that continued on into a scoreless second period. Both teams came up with some mart plays in the middle canto that might. have ended in ‘goals except for i-mipressive performances be- tween the pipes by goalies Char- lie Huestis and Robert Hurry. Al- though the W.K.S. boys were still trallixig by one goal at. the end of that time. they held the play pretty Well in the P.S.S. mne but Huestis continued to hold thorn from scoring.

Prince Street opened fast again in the final session to jump their lead to two goals when Boswell

tallied at 3:41 on a pass from Leitch in front of tthe net. Ken- nedy cut the lead down to one

goal again when he tallied West Kent's only goal of the game at 11.27, on u. good passing attack with Squarebriggs.

Lund Retains Title In 2nd Round Kayo: Stellar Boxing Card

Buddy Lund of Charlottetown retained his Island lightweight boxing championship by scoring a terrific second round knock- out over Bud Ramsay of Aliberton in a scheduled eight-round title scrap at the Whelan Memorial Hall last eventing before a capacity crowd. Lund weighed in at 134 and Ramsay 135.

The knockout came at 1.35 of the second round, after both bpys had fought an easy first round on even terms. Lund opened up with a two-fisted barrage in the early part of the second to send Ramsay to the (ranvvas for a nine count and set his man up for the kill at 1.35, when after de- livering a couple of solid body punches to soften up his man further, drove home a solid leift to the chin that buckled Ramsay's knees and then crosed over with a mashing right to the side of the jaw that stretched him flat on his back. Ramsay was out for about five minutes and had to be carried back to his comer.

There is just one group left. who would be interested in having a bounty placed on foxes . . .. the fraternity of hunters. Now on what grounds are hunters asking the Government to assist them in eliminating the Fox? They cannot truthfully say that the foxes are interfering with their sport by wiping out the game birds. Cold, hard facts speak for themselves. The hiungurian partridge popula- tion showed a substantial Increase in 1949 over 1048. The pheasant population doubled in the same period doqaitis the prevalence ct foxes. The Chukker partridge have provexi that they can cone with the fox.

which lies between the Orwell and Vernon Rivers. This area ts alive with foxes. In November a party of hunters with the aid of hounds shot. five in one day within a mile of the McLeod farm. The Chuk- kers are still present and are fat and healthy. There may have been the odd casualty but; any losses they may have sustained are not noticeable. ‘The original flock of Chukkers have broken up into smaller groups and are thus hard to count. Some of the birds have moved a considerable distance out. one flock of seven make their home near the point of liberation. They are still intact. O O O

To put the question bluntly: "ls there any reason why a bounty should be placed on foxes?" What benefit 1a going to accrue if a price is placed on their heads . . . or hides? An inexperienced hunt.- er is not going to start out and shoot a fox everytime he takes the notion. Even veteran fox hunters do not bring home the bacon (or the fox) every time they go out.

O

Whit-HM‘ a bounty fa on IQ In or not the farmer "is going to shoot hlrn (or try to) ff he Jnolegtg his poultry. The fox hunters who hunt; for sport are going m hunt hi-m anyway.
