Montreal where they plan to race the earlier part of the season. My Darling is owned by Senator George Batbour lard the Clipper by Roach. Neither will he raced until they have had two or three weeks work there. They have had plenty of slow work here and Roacnthinks that with a bit of tuning up they will lie able to make a showing.

The official opening of Blue Bon- lieu was last night and they plan to-continue harness racing until November 15th.

The 10-year-old pacer Whirl- away. that took a record of 2.15 1/5 last season. is certainly made of tough mate-rial. He is by Sim- coe Marvester 2.04 1/2 and is own- ed by Laurie O'Brien, Sackville, N. 8. The Year Book shows him as having made 123 starts last season, was 23 times first, 23 times second and 29 times third with earnings of $406.68. which

added to his previous earnings gave him $1,239.28, making hint -eligible to the 2.23 pace. We un-

Whirlaviays races were over the one-third of a mile track at Hall- fax which would account for his limited earning power, but he cer- tainly must be a tough horse to keep on racing week after week and a.pparentl_v enjoying it.

The Camp stable when he left had 41 horses in training. the ma- jority of them two-year-old colts. and it was conceded that many of then colts have a great future ahead of them. Joe was assisted also by Lee Walker and Claude O‘Brien and everyone was kept busy handling stich a large string and caretakers caring for them.
