den by shubbery I have had birds actually alight on my head or legs.

One afternoon this month I wad resting by the edge of s besver dam when a. song bird, I think it was a Myrtle Warbler. slighted on a dead limb within a. few feet of me. She had something in her bill that appeared to be all logs and wings. I took it to be a species of moth although I never saw anything like it before. It was so large and fearsome look- ing I wondered how this little bird would handle the situation. She held it on the limb with one foot and pecked it for a. moment before commencing the swallow- ing operation. She went through a lot of contortions to get it down and looked quite comical sitting so straight with the long legs and a. tip of one wing protruding from the sides of her bill. It was almost a minute before the legs disappeared and then she appear- ed to notice me for the first ”m9- Bright eyes gave me the once over and then she flew off looking for more victims.

. . .

Have you ever watched bud; following a herd of cattle and flying close to their heads and maybe wondering about their ac- tions. They were feeding on in- sects stirred out of the grass by the moving anima.Ls. When I farm- ed at Mount. Albion I had a regu- lar colony of swallows that had built nests under the eve of the barn. There was a reason for so many mud nests for I kept the English sparrows at a safe distance with a 22 cal. rifle. On chill August mornings when few insects were moving 1 would have an es- cort or 40 or 50 swallows when I walked to the back pasture to milk the cows. 1 would stir up lots of little white moths and the swal- lows would chatter excitedly a- mong themselves like a crowd of children as they snapped the in- sects out of the air. Sometimes their wings would almost brush my face. Many times I took a rather zig zag course to the p35. ture. The birds seemed to watch for me and the minute I ap- peared back of the hedge with the pails in my hand they were

all around me. 0 O 0

Cats were another pest that had a short lease of life if they moved into my digsings. The family cat was kept locked in a. fox pen'dur- mg the spring and summer months. Crows and Bronzed grackles sign- ed their own death warrant it they came near the buildings. Robin's had nests everywhere. In the wood shed adjoining the back of the house, in the garage and in trees beside the house. one even tried to build a ll'3t in the kitchen.

she did lllllld one there later after we nix: .:l to the city. Some- one had leii. the door ajar and when I came to look things over on one of my periodical visits the robin flew out as I came in. The nest was built on the corner of the mantle and I took care to see that the door was left ajar until her brood was hatched and on wing. If people. living in the country would limit the activity of their cats in spring and summer. such as locking them in a wire pen or something like that. they would have a lot more birds on their premises. A few joker traps set for mice. and kept set, will keep this post in check. In my opinion the average cat is greatly over-rated as a mouse catcher particularly in the seasons mentioned. They spend most of their time in the fields and woods in the warm wea- ther.

Hunting 0085 are another men- ace when allowed their freedom at this season of the year. If some of those dog owners saw a man walking over their land shooting young Huns or pheasants scarcely able to fly they'd want to string him up to the nearest tree, and yet they'll allow their hunting dog to roam and kill more young rabbits and game birds than a man could with a gun. I know sportsmen who keep their bird dogs or fox and rabbit houiicls confined in a pen or on a wire leash from March until October, unless they are with them. and I know others who pro- .fesa to be sportsmen forget a- bout their dogs until the next hunting season rolls around.

Here is a reminder to careless dog owners. The Game Act states: No person shall, la) pemiit any hunting dog to run at large and not under the control of its mas- ter. owner or trainer (bi Use a dog for the purpose of hunting miiik. The penalty runs from 35.00 to 5100.00 together with the cost of prosecution for 1st offence and 110m 020.00 to 8100.00 together with the cost of prosecution for a second offence.

Our friend George Ma.cDona.ld. Boston, Maas.. slways remembers us with horse news and. writes that l at opening night at Foxboro Chrisi O'Donnell, well known to Islanders! and a particular friend of Dr. .11 E. Corrigan, won the 35,000 pace with Bay State Tom. time. 20695.5 There is also a. write up of Joel Bolduc. noted harness race driv- er who has been on the go almost! ever since the writer can remem-l bet and now at the age of '79 is; still perched on the bouncing seat. of a. sulky driving the fastest har- ness horses against the kecnest competition in the United States. Spinning wheels and pounding hoofs have sounded a sym-phony in the life of this amazing and agile reinsman. Among the big events he will drive in is the 35,- 000 Msplecroft Cup for trotters. Others in his stable include Hi Best 2060;, Lacona Boy and Lim- rock A1-all money earners not hay burnens. In 1951 the oldtimer from New Bedford, Conn. enjoyed one of his best seasons. Hi Bert and Irvin winning over 320,000 in purses, the majority at Foxboro. Bolduc has driven in thousands of races mostly in Canada and the Eastern United States.

We acknowledge. with grateful thanks news supplied us for this column from Dick Hagan of the Bank of Manhattan, N.Y. In a. recent letter he gives us the fol-1 lowing . . . When Hi-Lo's Forbes: flashed across the finish line iii 1.580); in the Free For All Pace a week ago Saturday night with Henry Clukey in the sulky, it was the climax of a long struggle to bring the world's pacing cham- pionship to Westbury. It took 14 years but every one of the Roose- velt Raceway dlrectors will tell you it was a grand fight and one worth winning. During the major portion of Westbury track's exist- ence the figure was 2.00I,I, held by Dusty Hanover, and just as West- bury was about to grab the laurels of holding the world's record for a. half-mile track in a race with White Mountain Boy's mile in 2.003;, Sampson Hanover flashed a 1.5995 at..Delawai'e. Ohio. It was Nick Grand, Roosevelt publicity chief who had the idea of bring- ing together for a world's record mile over a half-mile track the greatest field of pacers that could be assembled - Meadow Rice, Ferman Hanover, Prince Adios, Hi- Lo's Forbes. Wilmington Star, Red sail. Thomas B. Scott and Irish Hal-champions galore in their own right and certainly the group moat fitted to make the on- slaught . . . Our comment is that Nick is certainly to be congratu- lated for his prescicnce in think- ing up this big idea. All our read- ers know the result - 1-Ii-Lo's Forbes' win. a new world's record of 1.5841: and 85.000 extra present- ed to the owner.

Victor Douse. formerly of this city, arrived here a few days ago to attend the funeral of his brother, the late Harry Douse. who was always a great admirer of horses and attended races wher- ever he could. He was very pop- ular here and brother Victor at one time owned and drove one of the best racing stables throughout Maine and the Eastern States and he also raced in the Mai-ltimes.

Seldom in our memory has there ben such a regrettable happening among the horsemen as the pass- ing of Willard Kelly. It was so un- expected that it shocked us all and the writer with other Island- ers who heard the news in Ottawa was really stunned. It was only a few days before that I had been talking, to him and he seemed his usual happy self. I had known his father very intimately. bought horses for him. raced horses against him and ,he was one of my very great friends and when Wil- lard came into prominence he also became a. great friend and in all the years in which we were pitt.ed,,against each other - and the same can be said by all other drivers-we never had anything but the best feelings towards each other.

Like his father Willard endeav- ored to improve the Standard- breds here and to that end he bought on the recommendation of the editor of the American liorse Paper. Kalmuck 215'. by Peter the Great 2071,. The soundness of his judgment in that respect can be seen by a. glance at race re- cords of the past years and the horses being trained on Maritime tracks carrying the blood of this sire. In 1940 he bougiit the stal- lloii Playdale 204V, by Scotland l..')9'.i. a horse that always won in the show ring and had manners. style and action without a. peer. Two of his get Early Dawn 2.050;

'! Mm clues: LIT us

and Janette Dale 2.063s. both re- cords made over half-mile tracks, won almost 30,000 during their careers.

Willard has the honor of being the breeder of the fastest ll'0i.- fing mare ever bred in the Mari- times - Christie Budlong 2.06M. dam. Ima Guy by Guy Axworrthy 2.081;. One of the first of the many trotters he developed was Millie Kalmuck 2.08'a that trot- tad more miles in 2.10 or better than any other trotting more river raced in the Maritimas. Track records held by Willard include New Glasgow (Union) with Millie Kalmuck trotting in 2.08119, She- diac. N.B., record held, by Play- dale. 2.154.; Windsor, Maine, pac- ing record 1.0512) held by -13119 Azoff 1.59y, and Riverside, P.E.I. pacing record of 2.11 held by Jean Henley 2.0812. Those who attend- ed the races at Cha.rlot.tetown Ex- hibition will remember how fre- quently Willard was called upon to be presented with the Mac- donald Bria: Trophy for leading driver at those races. He won it in 1937. 1939. 1941. 1949 and 1950. He drove his first race in 1921 with the pacer Albert J., giving him a

Juanita Aubrey a mark of 2,1914. Since that time he must have giv- en records in over 100 trotiers and pacers and no man since that period has left, such a deep im- pression on Maritime harness horse history.

Willard was blessed with good

that carried him with a smile and as a result he had hosts of fiieiids. At his fu- neral which was attended by an estimated 3,000, there was hardly

the final eulogy. Words cannot convey in our readers the depth JI sorrow fclt by Willard's intimate friends. We, on behalf of those and other horsemen desire to ex-

sister and other deepest sympathy.
