THE SHREW-ASH

'.l‘l'le Revel. Gilbert Willie, Vicar ut Belborne in Hampshire from i750 t-lll his death in 1793, is gen- erally referred to as "the father of ‘English naturalists!’- His famous work. “The Natural History of Scl- b0rne," has been the model for many later books; it ls a simple Record of valuable farts as they were really seen or learned: vvith- out embellishment, except such as received from truth, und without,‘ lllowlng the imagination m ramble, Ind draw conclusions. the exact- heus of which it. had not proved. Here and there we get a glimpse of Ibo writer's playful lnunor. and per- haps the one regret on perusing his delightful volumes, is that. he ls so sparing of it. With gentle sa- iire he treats of the shrew-ash: "At the fourth comer of the Plest/or or area, zicar the church, there stnoci. about twenty years ago, l l very grotesque hollow pollard- 18h, which for ages had been look- ed on with no small vcncration as I. shrew-ash, Now a shrew-ash is an ash u-hose twigs or branches, when gently applied to the limbs of cattle, will immediately relieve the pains which a beast suffers from the running of a shrew-mouse over thr- purt affected; [or it. is sup- posed that a .\‘lll‘\‘\\'-lll0ll.‘l@ is of so bancful and (ls-lcleriolls a nature. that wherever it creeps over a bcast, be l! horse, cow or sheep. the suf- fering animal is afflicted with cruel anguish. and threatened with the loss of the use of the limb.

A shrew-ash was made thus: into the body of the tree a deep hole was bored with an auger. and a poor devoted shrew-mouse was thrust in alive, and plugged‘ in, no doubt, with several quaint in- cnntutions long since forgotten.

The Woodchuck

A reader at Clinton sends some enquiries which may be briefly ic-statcd as (1) What is a wood- chuck? (2: Where is the native homu of the peacock? and (3) is it. an uncommon bird on the Island?

The common wood-chuck, or American Marmot, (marmota mon- ax) perhaps better known to us as the "ground hog." It. has a heavy body (an adult will weigh ten pounds.) covered with coarse

toil. and powerful legs with strong claws for digging. These animals have a. ‘wide range. from Northern Canada. to Mexico, but I have no remrd of its having been taken here,

As might be surmised from the

number of its names, the wood- chuck is fairly common in those locality it frequents, and in fact

constitutes itself a nuisance m the farmer in whose fields it burrows, and whose crops it takes toll of. Ln New Hampshire in 1888 a bounty of ten cents was given for each

bounty shall be paid for any wood- chuok lgilled on Sunday."

A recent letter to The Guardian. (and one which I thoroughly en- joyed) spoke of the Scottish gooseberrles as "sweet as the honey of Hymettus." The miners in Nor- thumberland were keen gardeners and gave special attention to the raising of gooseberrles and leeks. The name given to the berry in those days was the "grozer," which indicates o. Norman-French origin. and gm plum; was a "grocer-bush." There were two types of fruit. a rough hairy skin that ripened a deep, dull red. and o, smoother klnd that

Racing Routes - In I933 A

By W. H. Gocher _

‘The leading stables as well as the sntaller outfits are busy in all sec- tion; g1 the country getting their trotters and paoers ready for the 1933 campaign which will get under way next month. The winter training comps have been vacated. white and Egan shipped from 1on8- wood to Lexington. The Hanover Shoe and Peninsular Farms horses are again on northern tracks. Perry is qt Hanover, Pa, and Mahoney with his racing samples by Vologdia. and Real Frisco at Toledo, Ohio. Dickerson, Hudson and the Brus- les pulled out of Pinchurst for Goshen. Tyson shipped to Free- hold, N. J. where he has taken on a. few local horses.

Calumet Deleo and Quite Sure were added to the Brusic stable as soon as it arrived at. the Goshen mile

track where Harry after stepping the Guy Aiqxorthy colt Sturdy o, fast mile sold him to the man who purchased Calumet Dubuque from him last y-car.

The Bay State Circuit. will get tinder. way at the “historic track" in Goshen, June 6. The twentieth renewal of this Iwpular series will bring together many of the best fields of horses as were ever seen in it. The route this year runs from Goshen to Chatham, Sturbrldge, Avon and Windsor.

The Grand Circuit starts at. North Randall the last week in June. The Matron and Champion Stallion States will be the feature events for the colts at this meeting. In them the splendid battles put up by The Marchioness, Brevere, Calumet Chuck, Raider, and Rip Hanover last year will be duplicated-this season, although the time may not he. as fast. As it is the contest and not the time that gives the thrill in racing, there will be just as much lntetrets when the three year old trotters and pacers take the word. The toleda meeting follows North Randall and precedes the three weeks stand at Buckingham Park. This will be the ﬁrst time that New Englanders have had an opportun- ity to attend such a long session since the flags were up at Saugus. As the best horses are engaged, the interest in the meeting will be maintained from start to ﬁnish at. the big ovel in New Iiainpshire. Goshen is the next stop in the

lcss sugar to preserve. a Prflﬂf-‘dllre greatly favored by the thrifty Northumbrian, who resembled his Scottish cousin in that respect. l.

The miners at Winlation Mill grew the largest gooseberrles but it was probably an exaggeration to say “if you asked for o. pound they gave you a slice!"

The Bird-House Contest The good Sisters who teach in

,tlie Convent at Rustico, in apply-

ing for the pamphlet “Bird Houses and their Occupants," state that the boys in the school thﬂfe 8TB greatly interested in bird life. This is tlluﬁdng news, for every boy (and girl too) can be a. little mis- sionary and help along the move- ment for the protection of our na- tive birds. There is still time to enter the contest, so in fulfilment of last week's promise I repeat the rules.

Each competitlor must put out not less than three bird-houses. or nesting boxes. When one of these is occupied this must be Certified by the school teacher, and the cer- t-iliraic retained till the. close of the contest. which will he notified in this colllmll. The contestant will then take any notes relative to the occupants of the bird house and these notes, together with the cer- tiﬁcate will form the basis for judgment. English sparrows and star-ling are debaﬂed-

There are ﬁve prizes, consisting cl three copies of Dr. 'I'avener's "Birds of Eastern Canada," one volume of R. L. Stevensons works (Treasure Island and Kidnapped.) and one of Lewis Carrels (Alice in Wonderland, etc.) A11 these are really flue books and the contest.- ant is lo be congratulated who secures one of them.

The other day I went round to the "hen pen" and found a spar- row (new to me) picking up the grain, 1 walked quietly and got within three yards without disturb- ing it. In color it was a deep rich. foxy brown. which showed it to be a. “Fox Sparrow.” The head was of a greyish tint and there was a large brown patch on the throat, and rows of spots on its “vest? Its actions were very characteristic. It would scratch like a hen for a. few seconds, kick over what it turned up and resume scratching. Finally it flew away. the rich color attract- ing the eye for u considerable dis- tance.

FIRST llIARITIMI 2.30 (C. E. Mackenzie)

Not; long ago in looking over some old clippings. the writer n0- tlccd one from the Halifax Re- coi-dvr, u-iiich gave an account of the first heat trotted in the Mar- ltimes in 2.30. The date given was Fredericton, N. B., September 12th 1877-over fifty five years ago. It was made iu a dead heat. between Princess. a. bay mare owned by a Mr. C. G, Frazier and Lady Duns- more, owned by T. Twomey in the sixth llt“\l. of a three minute event. It took raven heats to decide a winner. There were four entries, namely: Princess Frazier whiffin- ishedl 1 0 2 2 0 1; Lady Duns- more Twomcy 3 2 0 1 1 0 dis. Saco Bay, A. AInl-laines 2 4 0 4 8 3 r0. and Flying Dutchman B. 5., R. H. Edwards 4 3 0 3 4 4 ro.; time 2.32. 2.36—2.2.37 2.34 2.30 and 2.35.

Flying Dutchman was owned by R. H. Edwards. later of Halifax and was driven by C. W. Bell of St. John. The other horses all hailed from Maine. Princess afterwards proved to be Fanny Raymond with a. fast record and was expelled at St. John. It was afterward alleged in print that Lady Dlnsmore had another name and a fast. record and saoo Boy was alleged to be Little Fred 2.35 while Morgan Knox who vras in the money in many of the races on Maritime tracks was claimed to be Royal Knox but none of those statements were proved. King William was another trotter on the circuit that season and in a. lawsuit for the possession of the horse at 3t. John it xvas show-n that this horse had trotted aevcral races tinder tho name of Anglo Saxon. Gctieml Griffin and Honest Farmer were also two Maine horses taking in the Marlthne circuit; that season, while the priuepal provincial hor- ses were Nellie 'I‘uorne owned by A. L. Sllpp. later of Truro, who many of us will remember was the owner of the famous Melbourne King. son of hfambrino King so pronfitcnt on our Maritime tracks in the earlier days.

of records made during the differ- cnt decades since 1800. At Harlem, New York, on June

whose breeding is untraced. made a record of 2.50 but on being meas- ured it was found that this track was short, therefore while the re- cord is recorded as the fastest at that date. it was not a full mile and one may be safe in saying that 1n 1806 the fastest mile made by u. trotter was slower than three minutes.

In the year 1810 on August. at Plﬂildelllhla. The Boston Horse. mitraced, made the mile in 2.48.- 1-2 and the only other notable re- cord we have an account of during that decade was made by a black gelding named, Boston Blue at Jamaica, New York, in 1818 in 3.00 flat.

From 4820-30 we have no official record for one mile but no lass than five records from two to four miles. On October 3rd, 182'! an untraced her." named Rattler made a. two mile record of 5.24 and

gelding named Screwdriver, sired by Oorimander and whose dam was u. daughter of Mount Holly, made a three mile record of 5,03 and in 1829 on September 7th Bmvﬂfy Boy an untraoed pacer made a two mile record of 5,04 1-4 and Topgullant a bay son of Corl- ander. dam by Bishops Hambleton- fan made a. three mile record of 8.11 and later, on October 15th made a. four mile record of 11.04 which would be an average speed of 2.46.

m the decade mm 1830-40 ‘we have recorded seven records-four by trottem and three by pacer-s. 131 1804 a black gelding named Ed- win Forrest, untraoed. made a mile in 2.31 l-2 and in the same year Sally Miller, a. bay daughter Tap- DO Salt, did the mile in 2.37 and in the following year Oneida Chief a chestnut, son of Kentucky Hunter Bot a mile record of’ 2.31 and three years later this same horse mad-g a. two mile record of 5.09 1-2 an aver- age of 2.34 3-8.

In the year 1839, Drover, of whose breeding nothing i5 know-n, made the first mile better than 2.30 having been timed l“ 33g; Drover was a pacer. Two, two mile
