lbmerienced horseman James L. Read, 'I‘ruro, was much interested in the fact that four mares that Myron MacArthur took up to Maine last fall have all entered the 1'10 list and he believes that most of the credit must be given to George tlallbeck and Willard Kelly for breaking. getting and making the speed that brought them to the attention of the Maine buyers. “In reading the write-ups of your P. E. I. races it looks to me that you have a large number of well-bred and fest young tzotters that will in many cases continue to improve inspeed and also attract the attention of American buyers. With the large number of well-bred mares and good stallions your Province should continue to produce good and frat race horses. I believe that much attention should be liven to colts and particularly in the earlier years they should be well cared for with lots of groin and bay and grass and not too much train- ing as two-ycar-olds (themb our sentknentl too) particularly if they are large colts.

The Curlew were quick to re- spond but- the black-bellied and Golden plover kept on gradually sliding down the scale. Hazards od’ migration, when thousands cf plover are caught in heavy storms when crossing the Gulf of Mexico and are blown oft their course and drowned is believed to be the chief cause of their gradual fail- ing off in numbers.

Plover winter largely in the in- terior of Argentina, the most southerly country in South Am- erica. In late August or early September the plover we see here o-n the Island start-drifting down through Nova ‘Btfctia and. 00n- centratc along the southern tip ot this Province with the focal point 1n the Sable Island area. Awaiting _r. favourable wind=they start off on the first leg of their journey across the Atlantic to Cape a long and huerd- ous flight.

Q O O

They follow down the coast line of the United States and when reaching marina. a portion of the flight branches of! across the Gulf c-f Mexico and continue, at least the survivors do, down through Mexico and Central America. Others, and it is believed the larger portion of the flightreon- tinue southward with the West Indie: as a temporary goal. This section escapes the flight across

the Gulf of Mexico but has event-

ually to hurdle the equally haz- ardous crossing cf the Carribbean Sea to s haven in Venezuela. Even on the first leg of the journey from Nova Scotia to Cape Cod many are believed blown out into the Atlantic by adverse winds and lost. Old gllhnersv rwho formerly shot for the market on Cape Cod, when plover shooting was legal, have reported flocks cf plover landing in front of their blinds that were too weary to take to wing after being shot at.

Gunners also take a heavy toll in the West Indies, Central and South America, where they are legal game, also, despite the close seas imposed in Canada and the tates, a certain percentage are shot illegally. 0n the whole, hazards are conside ed A __ ‘ble for the ibuure of the plover to make a satisfactory comeback. however, losses caused by natural

Mr. Shem MeoMillm. A1091‘?! Plains, reports a covey of Bob White Quail at Glencoe not far from the Aiberry Plains border. As far as is known at present, this is the first covey to be re- ported in Queens County. An

covey at the first opportunity. So many covey's of Huns are only about half grown at the present time, there is always the danger of mistaking them for Quail. However, once the Hun; reach maturity there is no need of mis- taken identity as the Quail are only about half as large as Hun- garian partridge. Even at this stage at development, this col- umnist has no reason to question Mr. Mschdillan‘; powers of obser- vaticn. O O O '4

The question of the opening date of the Hun season is bound to becclrne a live issue before too long. Many are ol the firm opin- ion that it should coincide ‘with the opening of the duck and goose season on October 16th. Last year the Hun season opened on Sept- ember 20th, or thereabouts, and the ducks are known to have taken heavy punishment iron-l then on to the 16th of October. As Hill‘ Hun covey's favour the grassy! margins of duck marshes, a gun! ner could easily have opportun- ities for shots at either ducks on Hum. In view of eiicumstan like this, careful consideration , should be given all contingentsi involved before setting a date for the opening oi the Hun season.
