Some weeks ago an advertise- ment appeared in The Canad-ian Sportsman oflerlng the trotter Lee Watts by Lee Winans, for sale

at $400. It looked like a good buy and George B- Gay Moncton telephoned the party and was assured the horse was all that he was represented, so Mr. Gay wired the money He. has since been notified by the United States Trotting Association that Lee Watts is Jackie c. 2.11. by Jack the Ripper. and being a ringer he is barred from all tracks in the UBIIZA. membership. The fomifll‘ owner will also be barred for Life from these tracks. Jackie C. raced through the Ohio circuit in 1M6 gnd is eligible to the 2.19 trot.

While Citation is perhaps the best known name in thoroughbred "ch18 this year, there is no ques- tion but that Dr. Stanton has the 0011 247110118 the trottecs and pan. ers, so something more o! his his. tory will probably be interesting to our readers. His sire is Bonny- castle, formerly owned by Cow-Cola kins. William Candler.

Dir. Stanton was bred by Russell Tanguy, a dairy farmer of Logans- port, Indiana. Until three years ago his grazing ground was a ricll alfalfa bed that grew from lime- stone soil. The spring-fed brooks that watered the pastures were al- so rich in lime. As a result Stanton grew heavy boned and big feet. His hcofs are like platters and he has shoulders like aClydes- l dale and very heavy hind quart- ers. He is short coupled and big but. his speed is phenomenal and his endurance as shown by his re- |cord of 2.31 in the 1!’. mile pace 1 at. Santa. Anita. exceptional. Many ‘ are predicting that he will break the world's pacing record of 1.55 set up by Billy Direct, while oth- ers go as far as to say that he will wipe out all existing records for half-mile and mile tracks. In tak- ing his record at il-l mile of 2.31 he stopped to the half in 56 3/5. while Billy Direct in his record mile of 1.55 went to the half in 58 seconds.

The classification committee have again come up with splen- did selections on each dash and it is quite likely that before the final event has been raced upsets will have again stolen the show. 34 horses‘. trotters and pacers will face the starting gate with the frce for all headlining the card.

One of the features of the above race will be the debut of Ten- nessee Sue Jimmy Power's fast pac- ing mare that was purchased in the United States last fall. The handsome looking animal has been closely scanned in workout miles and the consensus oi’ opinion is that she will be tough to head. But there are several other bearcats in the racing ovals in with her in to- night's free for all that will not only give her a battle all the way but could very well pace off with top honors.

'The other seven classes will fur- nish just as much excitement as the free for allers. Winners should be difficult to pick all the way through so evenly do the horses appear to have been matched and as we said before a great night's racing prcgrc-m is in store for the ~ big crowd that is exnected to be on hand when No. 1 Classified event is sent on its mile course.

This columnist has always held a warm. spot. in his heart for the red. fox. Maybe pleasurable mem- ories of younger days 506011 in quest o-f his handsome pelt have something to do with how I feel t_'ward hlrn and his kind, but that is not the only reason. I do know that. the {ox is the greatest and most persistent mouser that vwe have. The Marsh Hawk and several species of owls also hunt mice and rats and the weasel is n relentless foe cf mice and moles. It. is the foxes who really hold the mice in check as they outnumber me other enemies of the mice. Furthermore they are large animals and it takes a lot of foodI to keep them gOlhg and a vixen‘ with a litter of e Pups is kept busy hunting all night and some- times during the hours of day- light.

I have also knrrwn that at times when the opportunity offers they destroy a considerable variety end number of game. ..both fur-red and feathered. Naturally a fox, being a meat eater, does not draw any lines between the destructive rodents and tihe valuable species of game. If a Hungarian part- ridge, pheasant, duck or ruffed grouse happens to fall into reynard‘s clutches it means a tasty full course meal with no after effects due to a guilty conscience.

O O

While the fox 'is first 8nd fore- most a meat eater they consume a great variety of injurious insects such as grasshoppers, etc, curing the summer and early fall months. In some sections they feed heavily on blue berries. A couple c-f years ago I examined a "stool" of a fox on tlhe Curlew Pairens east of Sourls. It was in August and consisted entirely of grasshoppers and ‘crow’ berries. This a species o1 berry that grows on the banana along the north sliore o1! the province. They grow on vines or runners on the ground something after ‘the manner of cranberries. They are more glattlsh in shape than blueberries and rather insipid in taste. ‘

a n a g My preconceived ideas of the amount c-f game a fox destroys got a severe setback last week. On Iiwiday evening, June 18th, I was driving along a narrow road across the river. At ‘L20 I drew near an alder covered grassy suvale in a quiet section of the countryside To the right was a clover field and the left ‘was a section of bare pasture land. Happening to glance to the right I spied a red fox with patches of black on each shoulder standing belly deep in the clover. I stopped the car and looked her over. She was only about s0 yards distant and apparently was waiting for the car to pass so she could proceed on her way aaoss the road.
