The majority of his starts. we be-, lieve. were over the Halifax Com-I

He was campaigned lightly last year on the trot and took a mark of 2.19 8x5 and is eligible to the 230

Last year ll-year-old Mack Pingo reduced his record to 2.12 2.15 and his owner expect: him to be equally as good. if not better, Lhll year. Horsemen at the track all regret George Thompson's absence due to ill- ness but hope that he will be around later to see his favorite Babe Britton 2.08 l 5 in her races here. Mr. Thompson's cheerysmile and good humour made him many friends.

One of the "comeback" stars of the 1954 raring season is the 5- lyear-old free-legged pacing stal- ilion Bonnie Brooke Dean, son of Dean Hanover 158V; and Lydia Tolley by Napoleon Direct 1.599a' land owned by Bartlett McGraw, lltltidson, N.

Last year he was aide- iiined by lameness and did not make a single start. Last week .he made his third appearance this -eason and had his third win. His mile. in 201 equalled the fastest mile of the year previously set up by Royal Mist. Now predictions are that he will be the first of the seasons 200 pacers. He han- dlv-d a field of thirteen in win- i::ng, coming from sixth at the half to finish with open daylight between him and second horse.

It was Houston stone that drove the filly her first start in 2.05. She is owned by Armstrong Bros. of Brampton, Ont. who are good pa- ,ti-ona of Del Miller, and last year Helicopter. owned by them, was the Hanibietonian winner--prob-

ably the first time a Canadian owner has ever won this big stake.

He was coming back from iwoodslock last Thursday night after attending their first mati- nee and was instantly killed on the way home. He made it a prac- tise never to go to a. race alone but this time he couldnit seem to iget anyone to go with him, which ;seems unfortunate, because he lwouid probably be living today. iHe was a great talker and that ,would have kept him awake.

re-opening of Riverside

I00 being present showing afternoon racing still appeals to a lot of people. Owner PI'luIht'I program was of the matinee type but all the rules of racing were strictly on-i-led out and some good future -prospects were uncovered. Among these was lubeeefa Money, owned and driv- en by Sterling MacDonald of Bridgetown. that won the first dash in the third race in 2.21 vs. Kitty Macxay 2.20 U5, ovmed and driven by Gerald Fitzpatrick won the other dash.

A real good program was spoiled last Wednuday night at Saint John Exhibition track when rain in plenty came down to halt the night's fun after three dashes had been raced. In the first dash Shir- icy Doris, a 5-year-old pacer by Federal, owned and driven by J. Robichaud, Buctouche, was the winner with Norah Dale (Devlin) 2, Maggie's Boy (Brown; 3. Time, .25.

Monty has been a familiar figure around Maritime tracks for many years and headed Annuncio (Hayes) with Abbie"s Boy (Horseman) 3. No time re- ported. Tonlght will see the best card of the season with one of the tops making his first start, Sep Hanover 2.03, owned by Allison Langille of St. Stephen. Last year his winnings were close to 810,000. Among others he will meet is Thelma. Lou 2.05 W5, that has the season's record for the Seintnlobn Raceway.

5. A. Camp: stable scored an- other good win at. Roosevelt Race- way early this week when the :- year-oid pacer Diamond Hal, driven by Joe O'Brien, won the featured Glencove Pace, purse :5.- 000. in 2.05. Diamond Hal raced to a record of 2115 U5 last year as a 2-year-old.

An important sale was made at aummerside yesterday when the well-known motor car dealer Wil- lard MacDonald sold his good pacer Ann's Dream 2.12 2.5 to contractor Jack Cunan.

At Trui-o Raceway last Wednes- day night there were some quite startling upsets. One of them was in Race No. 1 when 1"'ingo's Girl, owned and driven by F. More- side, Windsor Jct. won from Lady Worthy 2nd and six others in 2.19. She paid 533 to her backers.

G. Scott 2.09 4.5, Direct Mite 2.06 315, Babe Britton 2.08 15 and Johnnie Kalmuck 2.08 3x5.

Another good field that will be difficult to pick a winner in is when Gahagen 2.10. True Hal 2.06.

A lady passenger and bi young son from Ifoncton were sitting a- cross the aisle from me and I overheard him say: "Mother. look at all the ganden's down there". How true was his description... just a. panorama of doll's gardens. Once the plane crossed the strait one would think it was flying over another world in A far distant eon- tinent. The first and only crown I saw were a group of three at Newcastle. Watching from the train I wondered at the absence of bird life compared to the Island. It was not until the train was mid- way between Montreal and Ottawa that crows began to be spotted with any degree of regularity.

crows thrive in rich agricultural

country and this province has really more then its quote. Most every farm seems to support a pair. Everything appears to thrive and multiply here. Even the Hum rac- coons and skunks are no except- ion. Ra. must. comume I staggering amount of food of some description or other. We have thousands of them and one coon will eat as much as e pig. A rec- coon has three hobbiea...eat, play and sleep. Delegates from all the provinces of Canada. attended the two day convention including the Yukon Territories. D.U. (Ducks Unlimited) was represented this year. The manager of the Delta wkterfowl Research Station in Southern Manitoba. Mr. A. Hochbaum. was present and read a very Interesting paper on some of their findings. !''or one thing he exploded the myth that if A Canada gooiae loses its mate he or she will remain a. wi- dow or widower all their lives as the case may be. Through the banding of whole families of Can- ada geese over a period of years it has been established that if an old gander loses his mate he wastes no time in picking another and one much younger than him- self. Don't laugh lad1es...ite the same with the goose, the young and greener the gander the better she likes him. Whoever coined the phrase: "As stupid as a goose?" We humans can't teach them a thing.

Its very enlightening to meet outdoor men from every province in Canada and listen to their pro- blems and the methods used to combat or overcome them. Certain phases of the discussions are con- fidential. at least for the time be- ing, but its no special secret that the present outlook for a bumper crop of ducks this fall is highly encouraging. The West is experienc- ing bounteous rainfall again this season and breeding conditions at the moment are excellent with a record number of breeding birds. However. a lot can happen between now and October but from here it looks like .1 reasonably sure bet we'll have lots of ducks this fall.

when this column appears in print sportsmen will either be on their way to Pictou Lodge or making last minute preparations to attend the Maritime Wildlife Convention to be held there on Saturday and Sunday (June 26 and 271. A varied program awaits those who make the trip of which music and entertainment are not the leadt attraction. Foremost for dis- cussion is the Hunter Safety Plan. Prince Edward Island hu been re- markably fortunate in this con- nection. on the other hand Nova scotia and New Brunswick are faced with a steady toll of hunt- ing casualtles each year.
