He was bought at the Delaware, Ohio. sale by Lloyd MacAuIay and has been .re-sold to Mr. Rankin.

In 1954 he was 5 times first. 5 times second and '3 times third and his total winnings at the end of the season were 33.935. We understand that he was tried out on the trot last year but we have no record of his winnings at that gait. Anyhow. the versatile Donald is putting him back on the pace and if all goes' well he will make it quite interest- lug for the other drivers in Cape Breton. In addition to Price Tag the Rankin Stable has Jimmy Counsel 2.04 4-5. Connal.ly 2.10 2-5,: Gary D. 2.15 3-5 and that game little trottcr Celia Sharon 2.15.

in the rush of compiling our Re-. view at Christmas we overlookcdl. some cards received. Among themi was one from our good friend and helper with this column. Cecil Mc- Ginley of Houlton. Maine.

Mary Dale was also the dam of three others that look records from 2.0 2-5 to 2.05. We cnngt'ntul:ile Mr. hlcGinlcy on posscssing such a wonderfully bred brood more and also on the future racing prospects of Marylin llal.

At this time of year it lstiit easy to have htiriicss horsc items that interest oitr public so we have do- lvcd hack into thc past and from our reserve stock have picked out The Glst and Jest of it. by the one and only Elmer W. Ferguson. written by him when he was sports columnist of thc Montreal Herald. Mr Austin Charters must have got rather mixed up in his geography as thcrc never was a 52.500 Free For All at Charlottetown and Grandma nctcr raced in a Free For All of any kind at Charlotte- town.
