I spent the best part of an hour and a half traversing this field and studying the activities of an army of foxes. At no time did I mush so yards without en- countering fox tracks. I can only guess at the number of foxes. that spent the previous night

the size of Kavola 2.08 and looks just like her. I have seen a lot of good racing since I left home and have had a great many thrills watching the top trottors and pso- ers perform at this beautiful track and elsewhere. My brother cams to work with the horses and is do- ing a swell job taking care of such good ones as Billy stout 2.08 and Onyx Hal 2.10. Hefis at Dufferin- track. 'mronto. I was at Dufferin in December and saw Jack Quinn there. He has charge of some horses for Ed Jones. and drove a number of races. Gerald Jardine is also at Dufferin with Jerry Lee Volo. He is doing well. Hops this finds you well and that you will have a good season next year. I sure miss the old gang and I wish they were here with me."... Thanks. Jack. no doubt some of the boys will be writing to you.

Early as it is there are quite a number of two-year-old trotters and pacers that are showing evi- denccs of considerable speed at the scuthern training tracks. At Ben White Raceway, Florida. the trot- ting filly Lively Lady by Nibble Hanover i.5ll'4. stepped a mile last week in 2.36 2&5 with the last quarter in 37 seconds. and Way Chamn by King's Counsel. teamed up with Keystone by Hal Dale, a mile in 2.38 with the last quar- ter in 36 seconds. Both these are in tht Del Miller stable which has 64 head with 38 of them two- year-olds.

At Del Mar. California. Joe 0'- Brien's work chart for last week shows the following two-year-old nerformances: Morse Hanover by Dean Hsnovcr in 2.50. last uuarior in 40 seconds: Nephew Hal by Hal Dale in 2.43. last quarter 37: Counsella by King's Counsel in 2.50 with an eighth in 18. and Miss Paris Way in 2.50 with an eighth in l9.

At Azalea fnileutrack. Florida. Earl Avery has the most advanced

'stable in the speed line with Vic-

tory Mon by Hoot Mon showing the way for the two-year-old trotters with a mile in 2.42. last quarter in .15 seconds. Uhleen Finao. another twn-,x-oar-old paced a mile in 2.35. last quarter in 35. with his best

mousing in this mouse heaven- or would be if it wasn't for the foxes. Most of them were trav- oiling in pairs and their trails rrlss-crossed in all directions; Dotted here and there were the; holes in the snow and grass where they had dug for mice. In a. ten foot square patch I ob- served four spots where holes had been dug. 0 O O

1 can only guess at the number at tones that hunted in this field but the-number of--tracks that were made in a single night 1 would say anywhere from 12 to 16. I only wish I had a dollar for every mouse eaten by foxes off that 00-acra tr-act this past win- ter. 1 found myself wondering what would happen in this Pro- vince lr weghsd no faxes to eat mice. I am fully aware of the fact that at this present time we have too many in the Province for the poultry farmers and the toll of chickens, ducks. etc. has been heavy this past season. However its a distinct possibility

rould do more damage to agricul- ture than foxes ever done in their worst. periods.

. . .

As the winter sun slanted west- ward I stood on the high bank and gazed across the ice choked expanse of Pownal Bay to where Governor's Island lay like ablack smudge on the horizon. The snow covered ice at the foot oi the bank sported so many fox trac s that it resembled the Hills ro River after s horsemen's rsce meet. As I swung about ready to retrace my steps homeward I spotted a big red fox whose bril- liant coat reflected the rays of the westering sun. He was stand- ing with both fore feet on s. tall grass clump intently giving me the once-ovcr. As he was fully 150 yards sway he feltreasonably safe. As I swerved off course and headed toward him he deftly de- toured. He wasn't unduly alarm- ed but his whole attitude sug- gested: "Get going about your business chum, I want to rustle up some supper."

APPREG

I wish to extend my deepest of gratitude to all my sincere patrons and friends for their steadfast pat- ronage of my place of business during the year that has elapsed: also an extra thanks to all students of SDU and PWC who have been so patient in endeavour- ing to give me their patronage. Thanks a million.

77:: WEEK V at S. D. Li.

M

The purse was 10 million fran (equal in American money to :28.- MI) and the distance was 2000 metres. equivalent to 1 Mil miles. It was the first time since me that an American ti-otter did not win or come second. The winner was the six-year-old French mare Cancanniere, second going to Cy- rmo 2nd and third to Chambon 2.0"! (U5. Scotch Thistle. the Am- erican trotter. wound up fourth. The time was at the mile race time of 2.14, the third fastest on record.

A serious accident happened at the Dufferin race track. Toronto. recently. Romeo Morencl. Isle d'- Orleans. Que. was so badly injured that he is paralyzed on one side and his left eye had to be retriev- ed. He is the father of five chil- dren. He was up behind Cindy's Majesty when the accident occur- red and his skull was fractured. The driver's insurance of the Can- adian Trotting Association allows only 3200 in this case. only enough to pay for one week's hospital and nursing fees. s9 subscriptions are being taken up at the Toronto race track and from any others who wish to contribute.

Worrell Lewis with 217 starts shows up as lzth in the list of drivers in the U.S.'I'.A. that have made 200 or more starts. Looking over it we find that Billy Haugh- ton made 694 starts: Jimmie Jor- dan 606 starts, Levi Harrier 555. Harry Burright 540 and Johnnv Simpson 521. The latter was 17th in the list but was the top money winning driver with Del Miller in second place. Between them they won over 3800.000 in Grand Cir- cuit purses during the past two years. Miller won 5430 524 and Simpson 3386.459.

The fastest race mile of the 1931 ice racing season at the Dufferin track. Toronto was set up by Gan- ada Direct 2.06415 when he won in 2.11 3A5. As far as we can re-' member, the world's pacing record on ice was made by El Verso. driv- en by Hump Morrison in the 2.10 pace at Mount Clements. Michigan. January 15th. 1924. time-2.10-ii. The previous day the 2.20 trot was won by The Yank. owned by the writer and driven by Ernie Mc- Tague. with 2-1-1: Hugh Watts 1- 2-4; time. 2.l6l.. 2.1551, :,1a!;, The

middle figure was a new world's iliottinz record on ice. replacing pthat of 217'; made by Chilcoot in Toronto some years previously. !Vlc Flemming was just coming to the front at that time and he won the 2.30 pace with Irene Scott in 2.1-1'. and was also second with her in the 2.11 pace. the fastest heat of which was 2.ll-ll. Later on she was a big winner for Vic on the Grand Circuit and he 3159 brought oiit Louie Grattan 2.00. who made her first appearance over the ice.

Another winner at that meeting was West Virginia Boy. owned and driven by Doc Vail. a great friend of Ernie McTazue's. who is still ruclnz horses out in sunny Cali- fornia. At Mount Clemens there were enormous hotels. that entered to arthritic patients who came- from all parts of the U. S. and Canada because of the minerals in the water. German masseurs ap- nlled packs of mud to the pa- tients' limbs and after a course of some weeks of diet and treatment most of them improved or recov. eredu In the winter time the pa- tients were few and the elty clerk organized ice radng meets which ””3"Pl'd I Gollllle of weeks each winter and horses were trained and M re-dv purposely for these events in various parts of the Un- ited States and Canada.a1iere was a shed about 200 feet wide facini: the track with large windows that WV? ll Perfect View of the racing. In these were set up suctloneers' booths where the Fitch Bros. held forth and which was entertainment indeed to hear them sell pools.

A Canadian record of 2.10-V had been set up in 191.5 on a mile track in Quebec by the pacer Day spring. He raced at Toronto along with Billy Brino and Tonego in the first race meet the writer took part in there on Dec. 20. 1914. Day spring went on to become a Grand Circuit star. Billy Brino was top pacer over a half-mile ring the nox-t season and Tonego was the fastest gelding in Canada. Helen it. went on to win five races in eleven days at Halifax and Char- lottetown. Ice racing on tracks is a very hazardous sport gnd to make it less so horses were then equipped with Russian saw shoes. very much like the metal curry- combs used by horsemen but of heavier metal of course. These were made by experts in Toronto and at that-time cost :14 it set. T0dl.V they would probably cost two or three times that amount, and it is doubtful whether the horses racing over ice tracks today are equipped with that sort of shoes. However. they are very much sifer as the danger of losing grip occurs as the horses are tak- ing the turns.

Today is the end of a week which was full of activities as far as st. Dunstan's is concerned. In

fact it is very hard to find I dull week around here at any time. There is always something new.

something different. something to look forward to, coming up.

Anyway, let's go on with the- news. An important event in the past week took place last Friday night in the Alumni gymnasium when our basketball team played St. Thomas University and won by the score of 65-43. We consider this an important event because it marks the entrance of St. Dun- stan's in intercollegiate competit- ion. And who could wish for a bet- ter performance on the event of their debut than they gave? The game was slowat first but. the pace soon quickened when both tecuns loosened out.

The Saints really played a good game for the students who were cheering from the balcony. the stage and along the sides of the gym. Playing two schedules this year. the Saints had to go into action again the next night against P.W.C. in a P.E.I. league game. However. the boys showed they were quite capable of playing two games in quick succession. as they slipped a. 95-35 -pail over their neighboring collegians.

All the basketball fans were looking forward to Wednesday night when the Saints would play the R. C. A. F. team. This game was held in expectation because it was the Airforce who made the Saints bow to their first defeat this year and many were wonder-

ing how the Saints would fare ihls time. But it wasn't hard to tell. was it? No. not when you heard the final score being an-

nounced "69-52 for the Saints!"

Yesterday morning the team temporarily forgot about the Island league and again directed their attention to intercollegiate play when they set out for Chatam. N. 8. Last night they were to play St. Thomas there and tonightlhcy will move to Fredericton to play U.N.B. We are confident from their demonstration last Friday that they will do well on this road trip.

Anybody who had a dime. and even those who hadn't. filed into the Assembly Hall Saturday night after supper where a film. "Tile Green Years" was sliown. This famous film by A. .l. Cronin. which many people have stood in line to see both in Camila and the U S .' we were able. to see without much effort and It niiniinuni of CX'l)CllilE. This is perhaps Just another one of the privileges we get and don't appreciate half enough.

This year the Dramatic Society has ngain something big up its sleeve. Just what do we mean? We mean that they are again un- dertaking to stage a bi: perfonn- ance. The play this time will be none other than "The Hound of l-le.-iven" by Edward P. O'Donnell. The very fact that this play con- sists of eleven scenes and requires is cast of twenty-four will be some indication of the undertaking. Practice has already started gfor hhls presentation.

No date has been set yet, as to when it will be staged hut it is ex- pecicd to be before Lent. Judging from what the Dramatic Society has accomplished in the past. we
