ggih. The third and fourth heats Wm-e captured by J. 11.0. with Emma in second place. Many of the above names are very familiar .0 the writer and will be to other old-timers throughout the Mari- times. Bessie Rampart was quite ,. lamoue mare in her day and it 15 pleasing to note that the G11- mypies still continue the love of horses inherited from their for- bcars who were racing in Imd. Lou Cox continued to drive winners well on into the twentiu. His mo.-lie expression was "by the hole of me coat.;'

Jerry finished with: "Had I. call 1,-on. Don MscAulsy. Pugwash. He L. pxpected to bring in about in hot-scs from Pugwash, Sprin-ghill. Amherst and oxford for our race moot." There again is another splflldid horseman. Dan MacAulay. Always ready to help out on ice or clay. Perhaps his best loved horse was Peter Budiong 2.09 4K5 that for all we know may be head- mg summaries on the ice in Maine this season.

Two of this Provi.ru:e's best per- inrmers of last year, Pet Hanover and Arm's Dream. are now in the stable of Del Mc'I'avish. noted race trainer and driver at Lachute u-gck, Quebec. They were trucked over to Moncton on Tuesday. placed on board the train and ar- l'llEd -n Montreal Wednesday and were immediately trucked some rorty miles to Lachute. Both had been very carefully handled, Pet Hanover by Rankin McLaine and Ann's Dream by owner Willard MacDonald, so that every precau- tinn was taken against accidents. pet Hanover arrived here as a titre-c-rear-old in the spring of 151.31. having been purchased at the Saruiogn sale by Roy Bevan of this cit). She is by the noted race sire Nlllble lianover 1.5894 and her dam was Essie Hanover 2.00 by The Great volo 2.0iP.i.one of the brood mat-cs at Hanover Shoe Farms, so PM. llllS liccnseto take a very last

rccoitl. Pure. sed as a pacer she was turned 0, to the trot short- ly after she ' ,ved here and made such progr Rat she won three races and t a record of 2.17 2.3. Last. year e was one of the

best liked trottens hi the provinces. taking her new record of 2.13 215 and winning nine firsts, two sec- onds and two thirds. She ended up the season by winning the two mic not at Truro from the best lmlters in the Mnritimes in 4.42 2 5. She was given all her train- ing and was driven in all but one at her races by James MacGregor, who certainly deserves great cred- 1'.

Ann's Dream was bred, develop- ed and raced by George A. Call- bcck oi summerside, and was sold in m:d-season to Willard MacDon- ald. sumimer-side. She is by Calu- met Bud-long 2.0213 and her dam is Guy Ann 2.i1'n'r, a sterling race mare ill her day. In her start at summorsidc July 1st she was 2-2-1 in 2.15 M5, and she -won her next three starts and then on the night of August 1st was 6-2 in the Clas- sified Pace to such well known periormecrs as Campbell's Buddy 1- 1. Mrinnistcr Direct 2-5, Esso 3-3, three other starters, time, 2.13, 2.11 35. she was just beaten a neck in that time. During the season she won eight firsts and took a record of 2.14 2lf5 and showed that she could turn on at both ends of the mile, which is a true test of a race horse. We predict a brilliant future for this mare and we also want to again congratulate her breeder, trainer and driver. George A. Calibcck.

Both the above horses are five years old and are eligible to the we and 2m.cla.rsea. We are con- fident that trainer Max.-Tavish will have a good season with them and that they will both take records below 2.10 either at Roosevelt. Yonkers. or one of the fast tracks where they will perform. They will be greatly missed here because they were popular and had many admirers.

The chs.rlottetown Driving Park track is probably in the best con- dition for training horses that it has ever been at this season of the year. A scraper was run over it recently and the surface is smooth enough to train miles in better than 3.00. Quite a. number of horses are stabled at the track anti others nearby are using it. Among them in Dr. R..P'. seunanls Itlhle is Weymsrk 8. 2.17 No. Just A Squire, and Karen Direct. a four-year-old bought at Harrisburg last fall. In the same stable is Omdr. George Buntaln's Miss Knox 2.09 .1 5. Dean Swift 2.14 415. and Suffolk Chief. The above horses Ire under the care of Ed Downs.

Last fall Dr. George Sheppard of Mount Stewart, bought the beautiful mare Pitch O'Dale by Plnydaie 2.0436, dam by Bud Ax. Worthy 2-14. from olaude O'Brien, Kensingtoln Road. she had becn bwd that spring to Argot Pointer 2.07 and just recently she dropped one of the most beautiful and strikingly marked foals ever seen in the province. It is a very light fawn color, beautifully formed, with perfect head. neck. limbs and feet and all four legs are white right up to the knees and there is a big white marking on the face. Dr. Sheppard. who has a large

course uses his car for that pur. pose, is also a horse lover and we feel sure that he will have some- thing that will take the. eye of the public when this son of Argot Pointer becomes old enough to move around and be seen. He may also have a future star pacer or trotter.

Here is a letter from George McIntyre, proprietor of the Mont- ague race track, which certainly was a shock to us and we know will be to so many of his friends who had not heard of his accident have been laid up since last December and am not too well yet. I hadimy back broken and nearly all my ribs were started. while I am getting better and am able to be up and around a little. it leaves my nerves in a jittery form. Dr. Pres says I will be all right but it will take time. 1 in- tend to call an auction sale around the middle of April and sell all my horses and racing equipment. They have been kept going and are in good shape. There is Daisy Budlong 2.15 and her three colts, all by Real Money,2.09Bi. Pink, the four-year-old pacer that put up such 11. good showing last year in the three-year-old stake at Char- lottetown. Doctor J. D., two years old. and Ina Mack, one year old. I would like to keep them but there is no use. I will not be able to look After them.

"It will be news to you to learn that Jack Annear and my brother Dr. Preston. have taken over a big share of the Montague track and we intend to hold I race this sum- mer. Alfred Lowery is jogging six horses and they are all in great shape. Frankie Budlong 2.14 SIB. Vemite Pearl 2.16. Real Set 2.16 U6, vallie Long 2.14 U5. Real Joe. three-year-old and Premier J. Walter. two years old. Archie Llewellyn has Dr. Pres' horses. Miss Commando 2.12 415, Penny Royal 2.26, Money Royal 2.15 and the two-year-old Royal Train by Fast Train 2.06. Eva Worthy 2.1115 had a foal January Nth from Hero Mine 2.1m. It is really wonder- ful looking. no Collins is jog- ging Bessie Budlong 2.16 llii, Lela Budiong 2.10 sls and a two-year- old filly by Real Money." Thanks. George, and we do hope that you will make real progress and be around practically as well as ever when the racing season arrives.

past 40 years." He appeared to ac- cept the depredation as just one of those things that was going to hop- pen regardless.

Many have asked this question: "Whalt can be done to stop this wholesale slaughter of trout?" The remedy is quite simple . . . oo-otp- cratlon with game enforcement of- ficers heavier penalties im- posed by the courts for game law violations combined with publish- ing iuhe names of all eonvidted game law offenders. When that happens conditions will improve "quicker than Jerry wrote the note." As things stand at prsent game officers have a lone row to hoe.

Just to give my readers an idea of what some of us have to con- tend with in this connection I'll give an account of a case I invest- igated some yours ago while I was in the employ of the R.C.M lice. In November poachers raid- ed rt spawning spring leading into a large diam that lies across the river approximately 14 miles from the city. This is a noted fishing water. I got wind of the infraction in January when roads were block- ed with snow for days at a stretch

. . .

It didn't take me long to find out that the raid was destructive be- yond descrintion. Trout up to four pounds were netted. pitch forked or booted out unto the bank. One night a one--half ton truck called at the local store with the bottom iitt-rnliy covered with big trout. My informant told me he didn't stop to count them but there were doz- ens in the back 0d the truck. He balked at giving evidence for fear he'd be beaten up some night and I kept what he told oonrrldential.

. . .

Finally an old bachelor who liv- ed within a stone's throw of the spring, it's on his property or was . . , he doesn't live there anymore . . . gave me the low down. He was quite worked up and swore ven- geance on the poachers. There was a reason for this, I found out later. Here is his story in a condensed form. "X called at my house one evening and asked me for the loan of my net. I asked him what: he wanted i't for and he said to get a mess of trout . . . . your spring is chock full of them. I told him No. The same night after midnight I heard a bunch around the sparing and went doam. They ran. three or four of them, but I iden'ti.fied X by the can he was wearing. They had stolen my net out of the barn. It was left lying on the bank. They carried away a bag half full of trout. I hope you put. them all in jail."

I O

"Ilhe next time I called on him he had changed his mind and "wasn't talking any more." I soon found out the cause. A delegation had waited on him the day before. I began to get the dope on my in- formant. It ran like this: "He lives on trout all fall and winter and got mad because the boys lrutted in. when he gets tired eating trout

he hitches up his old nag and drives to another district and calls oil a butcher who paddles meat througth the country and exchanges trout for.a roast of meat. After- ward he dances a little jig for the lady of the house and drives

The R.C.M.P. Police Constable home."

0 O 0 who helped me in the investigation advised against a prosecution. "We haven't the evidence" was his ud- vice. A man once said "to me: "You remind me of a dog with a bone once you get your teeth in anything you hate to let go". I adopted the idog with a bone' at- titude and issued a summons to accused against X with (the funny cat) and a summons to witness to my "step dancing" infomtan-t. I O I

The day set for the trial in Char- ioutetcvwn the defendant appeared with counsel but the old bachelor didn't show up. He told us he didn't feel well that day and it was storming. He was served wiilh an- other and he ignored that. The "sea lawyers" in the district were betting that he had us beat and we couldn't compel him to appear. Tints what "they thought. A war- rant was issued and he was brought in under escort. That was one for the book bringing in a crown wit-

You may lead a horse is water but getting him to drink is another matter. I kept plying the questions to him and when he found himself getting cornered. he slumped down in his chair and said: "I'm getting tired . It mnot answering any more questions". I knew I was heat tzhen. Another question and he'd have pulled a fake faint. If there is such a thing as a two leg- ged fox, he's it. The case was lost in one rupect and won in an- other. The accused didn't win. He had five trips to the city in the dead of winter and had counsel eaeth time. Shortly after another suspected member ad the raiding party wound up in Queen's County goal on an asault charge.

. . .

This was an offshoot of the case but he bmt up the wrong person at that. Another member of the trovultlng party had to wait a year or so for his punishment. when I was giving his premises a look-see for trout sign I got a wlh-iff of "mash", stale as it was, but an empty teddy I picked up smelled of "shine". I filed tlhls evidence down in my little black book and laiieriwihen the time was rllpe the Preventive Squad walked in, It cost him 3100. and costs. I chalked that up to trout. My own chief rec- oileotlon of the case is 'Jdhnnie' and I lying on our backs putting chains on "the police car in below zero weather wihile salty crystals of snow filtered under our coat col- lars. A farm tractor eventually got in out of the dnifit. Game enforce- ment is not all sunehrine.
