W0 got a tip that Ott Gallant had just finished a Jog cart for Willard Kelly so went up to see it. There were several viewing it when we got there and tlley were all of tho same opinion, that it was the finest cart ever turned out in this Province The wood is the choicest hickory without a weak part any- where. It takes the greatest pati- ence to bend hickory to the re- quired shape but this was done in tho most approved fashion and really. no Houghton or Jerald ever loolcod bettcr to us. It is finished in natural wood color and the leather fittings. in fact all the fit- tings, an first class. Ott and bro- ther Emmett were indeed proud of the nice things said. We asked Ott if he had any other orders on hand and ho said. "Yes, I have three anon to make and that will use II nl 12m wood I have on hand." “But what about-tho sulky you toll In you would make?” I ask- “Yaa, colonel, I am going to sulky too and I will p11‘- best efforts into it."

All: Parsons. proprietor of the Pine Ridge stables, cf London. Ontario, made a. complete clean- out of his racing stable and all equipment at his dispersal sale March 8th. Upwards of 3.000 horsemen were in attendance, many of them coming from long distances in the United States while Ontario and Quebec were represented heavily. Top price was paid for the three-year-old

London, 0nt.-—$4.l00; Billy Jane 2:0Q 1-2 was sold to Dr. Taylor c! Quebec for $3.100; the stallion His Royal Majesty was sold to the Rivard Stable in Quebec City for $2.700; Portlight 2:00 l-4 sold for $1,000 and Rosenda Hanover, a four-year-old trotter, at the samv figure. Nelda A. Volo, bred by Leonard Barrieau.-now a five- year-old-was sold to Ray Dal- linger. Dearborn. Michigan, for the Hens-y Fbrd estate. One of the most prominent bidders was C- T. Black of Troy, N.Y., who purchas- ed six brood mares for $3.600. The only Maritime buyer that we have note of was Leonard Barrlcau. Centre Acadia, N. B, who bought Pine Ridge Beverly. He intends to race her this summer and then hold her over as a brood mare. Horsemen will remember that Bill-y Jane, 2:06 1-2. Portlight 2:09 1-4. Rcsenda Hanover and Nelda A. Volo were all in the stable of W. G “Bill" Stewart. New Glasgotv N.S., which he sold to Alex Par- sons in the Spring of i947.

We find that the report that Mr. Philip 2:06 has been sold is in- correct. He is still in the stable of owner Alphonse Napke, New- castle. N.B., and is one of the best prospects for the 2:18 class in the Maritimes. liis sire Black Pegasus 2:02 l-2 is the sire of some of the very best pacer-s racing over U. S- tracks. Mr. Philip took his record of 2:09 in a winning race at Chatham, NB, September 1st, 1947. Lf MI. Napke is still in the selling mood—which we presume ho is if he secures his price-then there is an opportunity for some- one to get a tried. good-manner- ed campaigner.

Wio had tho pleasure of a call from James . Turner, Hope River. early this week and spent a happy hour talking horse. Mr. Tumer has bred many good-ones and it. was he that sold Major Clegg to Myron MacArthur who later dis- posed of him to Arthur B. McGee. Augusta, Maine. lie has a two- year-old filly.

We have an inquiry from a friend in Cape Breton for a. colt or filly. Preferably a. filly, by Real Money or Playdale, not over eighteen months of age, and good legged. Our friend is so insistent that we are putting out this call, so drop us a line giving breeding, ‘if ‘you have a youngster such as the above.

Now that the eyes of horsemen are being directed to this Pro- vince as a. breeding place of future great trotters and pacer: it is good to know that we have so many standard bred stallions available for breeding/purposes. Ono of

Just one game‘ away from the

City llockey League title ' Jackie Kane's Saints will be endeavoring to wind up frtatiers when they tangle with the Navy team tonight in the second game of their best of three finals for the Dr. PRC. Dougan Trophy. Winners in a close- ly played encounter in the first ~game, Saints are given a slight edge of whipping the “Tars" to- night and wind up matters but there are still a great number of the fans sticking to the Lawlor-coach- ell outfit and are looking for them to square matters. II -l- l- 4'

But whichever way the game goes fans are bound to witness a. crowd- pleaser all the way. In recent tus- sles with the Saints the Navy squad have given definite proof that they carry the necessary art- illery to defeat the fast-skating University crew. After forcing the Saints to come from behind to gain a tie in the game previous to the last meeting lie-ween the pair of thorn, Navy were just barely edged out in the last tussle and tonight will be out to make amends for that setback.

Both‘squads will likely rely upon the same lineups that took to the ice the last time they met. A.J. McAdam, ineligible for intercolleg- iate hockey will be back of the bluellne for the Saints again and his presence is bound to add strength to the Kane-non, but al- though the Navy managmient rea- lize the worth of the hard-working clefcmeman they feel that their squad can come through when the chips are down ‘and force the scr- les into a third and deciding game.

In fact only a slight margin separated tho two squads at the end of the hour's drill and by their performance the midgets showed they were ready for their sudden death test against the New Brunswick champions.

Despite the fact that they have been battling financial worries n1] through the season, the Midget League has kept going and now with the youngsters given a good chance of bringing g Mulmm title to the Province, 1t l; to be hoped that the fans will turn out in large numbers for the tussle. It will help shoulder a large share of the finsnclaj worries connected with the club and furnishths play- ers with added incentive to climax their season with the capturing of the three-province crown.

The pairing off is going on wlth speed and despatch and covcys of any size are a rare sight those days.

In the Mc- Kenzie's Corner-Cross Roads dis- trict over 50 have been fed and saved by thefarmers living ill the vicinity.

Three a Goal

In as exciting a hockey struggle as has been witnessed here all lea- son Bill Boyle's jM-HPHIYIMXII Juv- enile Klnsmen team int - MIN? earned s 4-1111 draw with Sydney Juveniles in the opening game of a total goal series to decide this years holders of the Maritime juv- enile crown. Second and final chap- tel- is slated for Sydney ice on Monday night.

Winners of the New Brunswick- P.E.L title the local Sqllfld 155i- night again came through with all‘ other of their courageous displays to earn their dram. Down three goals at the end of the first perlflfl and apparently unable to cope with the five man attacks of the heav- ier and bigger Sydney team, they started to fight back in the sand- wich session. Before the period had ended they had gotten- back on even terms with the tying goal coming just ten seconds from the whistle.

Again in the third after Sydney had scored early in the session,

..'.{iilsmen had to again call on their

unlimited fighting resources. There were only 80 seconds left to play when they knotted the score for the second time in the gcme and then keeping up their devastating attack, they just missed by inches from caging the winner.‘

It was a. stirring omeback by a ierlm that just won't acknowledge defeat. And last night both teams came up wlh fast, hard-hitting dir- plays that kept the fair-sized crowd of fans stirred up to]; high pitch of excitement all through the affair.
