5. Thane Belyea writes us from Fredericton that Wesley Bishop has purchased Bevo's Orphan An- nie 2.19 from the estate of the late John D. Forbes. Harry Mount ,, jogging the other two. Sham- rock Thoughts 2.04 and the three- war-old Slicker Tass and theyare hnih in the pink of. condition. xiyron MacArthur and Ned Lin- don were in to see him for a few minutes last week on their way from Woodstock. Thanks. Thane. for keeping us up to date as usual.

H, E. Hatch. President of the (tanadian Trotting Association. Toronto, writes complimenting us on our Maritime Racing Review and informs us that he sold his farm and all his horses last fall. ,-gunning just two fillies so that should he desire to breed them he could. Mr. Hatch has been one of the best supporters of harness horse racing in Ontario and one whom everyone has confidence in. We are glad to know that he hasn't really retired and won't be a hit surprised to hear of his racing a good one in the near fu- ture.

E. B. Savage. well known horse- man of Fredericton, writes that the forecast for next season there is night racing and a bigger and honor exhibition with the accent on livestock. There are some doz- en race horses owned in Frederic- ton including Shamrock Thoughts and slicker Tass and George iVoodside's Tyndall Sample and a Joliity filly also owned by George Herb Chase has Cedric Hanover and O. U. Volo. Joe Hughes has Dot Cash and Mr. Savage Jo- Ann Castle and there are several other yourig race horses.

We have a letter from R. L. MaeMillan. Calgary. dated Jan- uary 18th. and we regret to learn from lt that he was on his way to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Minnesota. Mr. MacMillan had been under the care of local physicians and they advised the above course. We. in common wtth his many friends. hope that he will be speedily returned to Rood health and back again with us next summer watching his horses train and race.

'i'he rule barring 15-year-olds from racing except in matinees l-as rested considerable hardship for owners who, unaware of its being put in force. purchased 14- year-old horses last fall. One of them. a young man who invested practically all his spare cash in a fast record pacer still able to turn out tracks in 2.10 to 2.12, now finds that under the new rule he will only be able to race in mat- lnees. He ends with. "I am not the only one in these parts who will he caught with fairly good horses past he age of 14 years. I trust something can be done to help out this serious situation for us."

At the annual meeting of the Vit'tnr1lIxDrlVinlZ Club. Ltd. held in their room December 15th. the following officers were elected: President, D. K. MacLeod: Vice President, Charles F. Willis: Sec- retary-Treasurer, A. B. Cutcliffe: Directors. Dr. R. F. Seaman. Harry Murphy. H. P. Cudmore. Stanley Matheson. Russell Abbott and Roland Wood. The Victoria Driv- ing Club, Ltd.. was formed in 197T and conducted in racinil Ntrh year up until 1952. which mix the last year that ice condi- tions were good enough to permit raring. In 1941 this Club conduct-

ed the first Inter-Provincial icc ed

rnces ever held in the Maritimes. Horses came from the other prov- inces and the winner of the Championship Trot and Pace was llilliie Kalmuck 2.08124, owned and driven by g the late Willard Ktliy. Guy Britton p. 2.03, owned it Dartmouth, N. S. was the con-

tending horse. Inter-Provincial races were held by this Club each year until 1950 and since then ice conditions have not been suf- flciently good to warrant their being held.

It is the intention of the Club officials if ice conditions are fav- orable to renew the Inter-Provln- cial meet this season. inviting horses from Maine, New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia to compete against our local trotters and pac- era, the meet to be held the week following the International ice meet at Dartmouth on February 13th and 14th. An ad appears in this issue re the International races at Dartmouth which will consist of a Championship Trot (Invitational) to be held February 13th and Championship Pace (In- vitational) to be held February 14th, with other events both days. In preparation for the above if ice conditions permit, arrange- ments will be made to hold .a number of preliminary contests with prizes given to owners of the winning horses. our readers will remember that at the Internation- al. ice meet held at Moncton last winter the winner of the pacing championship was Mabel Batch

.12, driven by E. Smith, and the

inner of the championship trot was Rajah Hanover 2.13 3l5. own- ed by Myron Bell and driven by Ike Moreslde.

Earle Avery will have the strongest racing stable this season he has ever had. In addition to the horses owned by C. T. Black he has others. making a total of 5. Recently Fred and Robert Woolworth of Clearview Farms. Winthrop, Maine. sent him the 317.000 yearling of last fall. Pennsylvania. and he is a full brother to Mr. Dean 1.58 3l5. Earle also received from the same owners. Paula Scott. 3. 2.10 W5. that they paid 314.500 for at Har- risburg. In addition Earle will have the following owned by Gor-

Lybrook, a three-year-old by Knight Dream 1.59, also Dream Dale. another three-year-old, and Summit Hanover 2,10. Ralph Del- rosse has sent him the iron-sided pacing gelding King Adam 2.03 2l5 and he is in one of Earle'.; front stalls.

Irvine F. Swift. Norton. N.B.. has very kindly written us giving the news from that vicinity, where Frankie Carr has a stable of five horses and has recently added Guy Tucker by True Volo. dam. Nan Tucker. He is owned by Beverly Milton, Moncton. Irvine slso informs us of the recent death of Aubrey C. Titus of Nor- ton. a prominent harness horse owner of New Brunswick. who came from a family that have been identified with harness rac- ing for generations. At the time of his death he was the owner of Flaxey Pointer 2.06and Just Nellie C 2.19. In common with hundreds of other horsemen friends we ten- der our deepest sympathy to his family.

owls from the Arctic tundra into the northern and central States was reported this week by the National Audubon Society, New York. Most of the snowy owl re- cords so far are from the north- ern states. mainly from New Eng- land to the Dakotas. one owl was seen in Maryland and indicates the invasion may extend into the aouthe ll states. Reports from the Arctic indicate that lemmings are very scarce this year. when these mouse-like creatures vanish. the owls head south in search of food. 0 0 0

I have Just. received a letter from a writer in the states re- garding the snowy owl invasion He tells me that the snowy owls sometimes perch on buildings or poles from much they can survey the ground for rats had mice. which comprise the major part of the owl.s' diet during their stay here. This information may apply to portions of the States but I'm afraid he's slightly off the beam so far as this province is concern-

since the bliaaard of January 12 what will a snowy owl see if he perches on a pole or building. or moves. a silent ghostly spectre. over the countryside from day- light till dark? He'll see just what

A TOW day! I80 A man appeared at the Bounty office in Charlotte- town and presented five red fox noses, neatly strung on a cord, for bounty payment. Needless to say he didn't receive any money. No bounty will be paid on for or rsocoon unless the ears, with face mask attached. is presented. on skunk payment will be made on the snout with a portion of the white strip attached. If a trap- per wishes to retain the pelt of a fox or ooon. the pelt is returned to him after both ears are punch- ed.

If one doesn't want the pelt there is no point in skinning the entire animal-the ears and face mark will suffice. The people in the bounty offices. Charlottetown and Bummeralde. have no desire to appear omcious or embsrrau anyone who calls but rulu are laid down to govern their actions and they are in duty bound abide by those rules. A bounty office is a good place to have ona's faith in human nature shattered. some evidently mean well and othus are opposite.

Juat recently two fox pelts were resented for bounty-the ease of both had already beau punched. In another instance a double handful of tin sections purport- ing to be coon ears were conn- dently tossed onto the counter. 'lhe.v came from a coon alright but they warenli. all ears. A rac- eoon ear is not overly large and if it is sliced on carelessly there is not much to go on tn any case and besides it's a waste of tune uniaa the ears are attached to the face mask.
