The R. A. Ferguson Memorial track has put Pictou on the rac- ing map in no uncertain way and the kind reception accorded to visiting horsemen by Mr, and Mrs. English last fall has not. been forgotten. Several Island stables are planning to make the trip to Pictou for June 9th and no doubt horsemen from New Glasgow. Truro, Amherst. Bridgewater and other centres will be there in force. Mr. English has put a lot of work on the track and plans to have it in the best of shape for the coming meet, Teddy Weir is training four head every day. »These are Scottv Budlong. c. "Harry Budiong.

We were delighted to have s letter from our Montreal corres- pondent who states racing has started again at Richelieu Park where many improvements have been made to the grand stand, the track has been widened in the home stretch, stables repair- ed. new stalls built and the oval equipped for night racing.

Quite a number of Montreal and Quebec horsemen are talking of bringing their stables to the Mar- itimes. to race, taking in the Moncton meet, New Glasgow, and then Old Home Week. possibly following on to st.

Our friend says that the horses are about a month behind in training due to the cold. rainy weather which has prevailed all through Quebec. Races are being planned for June 1st and June 8th at Sore]; that is where our now oar-ferry Abegwclt is being built. The track there is a model one and the owner a great race fan. Enclosed in the letter was a clipping with the following query

.What horse was the greatest money winner in history? An- swer: Dan Patch, a pacer who grossed between $750,000 and $1.- 000000. Whirlaway is second with $561,000.

Maybe MaePhall wasn't respon- sible, but it does seem odd that the Yankees have played much better baseball since the recent so-called player rebellion when sr-"eral members of the team ob- fected to being forced to travel by air and othcrs got really peev- ed over being fined for refusing to act es guinea pigs for some of Larry's promotional schemes.

Prior to the uprising. the New York club had been losing more games than they were able to win but since then they have climbed steadily until now they are in second place behind the Detroit Tigers. Key man in the improved showing of the Yankees-as well as one of those fined by MncPhail -—has been Joe DiMaggio. He has been hitting the ball more robust- ly than at any time since he came out of the armed services and as long as he continues to go well. the New Yorkers are bound to be dangerous. \
