have been robbed. I found one black duck nest in the Johnston's River district that had been des- troyed by crows. A duck nest (black) found near MdKenzie'u Corner by Lorna Jenkins held 9 eggs. A few nights later the eggs were taken and the nest dug up. Unhatched ldomestic eggs were placed on the. nest site and those disappeared as fast as they were put in. A number of steel traps set around the nest netted it red fox and a skunk. its anybody's guess which was the culprit with the odds in favour of the skunk .

Early in the spi-'I'ng Bruce Wright. Ducks Unlimited Representative and I found a woodcock's nest that had been destroyed by a predator. I figured that the culprit would return. to the scene of the crime so added a few hen -eggs and set a trap. This pinched the toes of a male red fox and two crows. Either one could have been the guilty party. Someone asked me if I let the fox go. Nothing doing, I clip- ped him over the head and dug a hole and buried him. The two crows furnished stomachs for the good of the cause

rut sunda afternoon. Parka-I near the re at Squaw Point with his family he observed a large Herring gull tin difficulties in the shallow water on the flat.-.. The gull would struggle and then something seemed to cite its head under water. Invostlga ion dia- closed a large Bar clam clamped tight ,on the lower section of its bill. The gull had evidently at- tempted to pick up the clam when it was partly n and gotten a section of its bll caught in the damn vice like grip.

Mr. West carried the gull to the car and succeeded, after consider- able trouble, in prying the clam apart with the'aald of a screw driver. The gull stood beside him for a few minutes and after giv- ing him a few peaks on the arm walked a few feet and then flew off none the worse for its experi- ence. A large Bar clam (some- times called sea clams) often weigh a pound or more and it would have only been a matter of time till the gull would have tired and drowned.

friend. George MacDonald of Mer- maid. George has had more than his share of trouble in the past few years and this great loss of three barns and other buildings with their contents was a heavy blow financially; but it was noth- ing to the disappointment because of the destruction of two paeers that he had wonderful hopes of. Adele W. and Mermaid Queen. the stable name of which was Bo- Peep. George has had great pac- er: in the Past. such as Colonel Walls, winner of nine races on seven different tracks. and June Morning 2.00 U5. but he felt sure that Mermaid Qiieen. a four-year- old. would probably be the fastest of them all. These two he valued at 81,500. but we know that 31,500 would not have bought Mermaid Queen. George thought so highly of her. Everyone for miles around, and all horsemen, friends, fcel deeply for Mr. MacDonald because of this sad happening.

Many must have rcniai-ked not having noticed our good friend Wackie Macllachern around; well, the reason is that Wackie is con- fined to hospital, in fact has been flat on his back for a couple of weeks and will likely be there for another week or two. when we think of Wackie we remember him as one of the fastest sprinters in

F. G. "Font." Kennedy has a son Keith in far away California. who is just as fond of horses.as his Dad, and spent several afternoons watching the races at Santa Anita and wasn't he proud of Joe 0'-

ness. so the animal was peddlad to B. C. Crulckshank. a Halifax har- neasrnan whose actual business was undertaking.

"Crulckshank took Brewerls Gal- lon to Nova Scotia and proceeded slowly with his development. The horse started just three times in '48. winning once at a mile in the unpretentious time of 2.16. Last year it was a different story. Brewci-'s Gallon burned up the Canadian circuit. winning 12 of ii starts and finishing second and third in the other two. Cruick- shank promptly shipped the racer to O'Brien to be prepped for the Hollywood Park meeting. At this stage of his career Brewer's Gal- lon had a record of 2.10 Us for ihe mile. But in his very first Cal- ifornia outing of '48 he lost by only a photo nose to a trotter call- ed Lloyd Hanover in 2.07 N5. He later lowered his record to 2.0il1,'5 and still later to 2.02 U5. On each occasion. of course. O'Brien has been the gent in the buggy. And the pair invariably has been join- ed in the winner's circle of Brew-

ger's Galion's constant companion

The notes in Down the Back Stretch are dandy and it is a shame we don't have more of this in our newspapers. Things are going along very nicely at the Farm. We have been ex- tremely busy with mares foaling. and breeding stallions to our mares and those of our patrons. Our yearlings are a fine lot and grow- ing beautifully. In the past we have sold them at auction but have now decided to sell them pri- vately here at the Farm. where a buyer can see just what he is buy- ing and knows the price of each even before he looks at them."

Noting his puzzlemenl. she continued: "I mean Brewer's Gallon and his little driv- er.
