The wool must have been essential construction material or the birds would not have flown endless miles through hawk infest- ed territory just for something to do. The nest was lined with every- lhlnl soft from a short strand of fine red yarn to the feather from a black duck. A type of fine grey litchen of a kind unknown to me, was also in the nest. This nest was reasonably safe from a crow or such type of predatory bird but the mother would have to take a chance on the red squirrel. The squirrel is bad medicine on fledg- ling young for they crave meat after their own are about half grown. Three times in my exper- ience I have caught them in the act. One actually had a fledgling robin in its mouth and was having

Meadow Pace has always indicated that he would do it this season. He is definitely the one to bet in the 370000 Sept. 23 Little Brown Jug off his easy 1.59 4-5 miles in the Matron." Here is the summary: Meadow Pace (OlBricn) 1-1; Dia- mond Hal (A. Cameron) 3-2; En- i.gn Lad (Schue) 2-3. Time. 1.59 4 5, 159 U5. Three others starters. Diamond Hal, driven by A.

Rutland, Vt. and it will be re- membered that it was there that Billy Direct, driven by Vic Flem- ming paced in 2.00 324 in 1939. It is the half-mile track record for New England. Many Maritirners are acquainted with Neil Raymond of Msplecroft Farm, Ipswich, Mass, and will be interested to learn that the pacer Red Sails 1.59, by The Abbott 2.00 1.15, premier stallion at Mr. Raymond's farm, has been heading many of the best pacers racing today where the big money is put up. He won an easy three- length victory recently in the 328.- 000 mile and a half dcrby at Yon- kers and followed that up by beat- ing a classy field at Batavla Downs in the 315,000 Invitational Pace- 2.02. Following him were Meadow Rice 1.58 U5, Newport Chief 1.59 3x5 and Bonnie Brooke Dean 1.53 I,'5.

Word has been received from James "Roach" MacGregor who is racing at the Quebec City Fair. He won there Saturday with the trot- ter Wlnnlfred G. in 216- a new record for Wliinifred. He also won with Jo-Jo Spencer in 2.13 and finished second with Yiita in 2.10. and the following night won both dashes with Bay State Pat-- is nice showing for our friend Andrew Perry's horses and we look for further victories for that stable . . . Word from Windsor, Maine, is equally good. Earl Sample won with Dean Gallon, lowering his record from 2.09 U6 to 2.08 2X5 and the mile and one sixteenth in 218 N5. He also won two heats with Jerry's Nightmare around 2.11 and was second with Sir Chuck in a trotting race. We can look forward to hearing more good news from Earle in the future.

A crowd estimated at close to 3,- 000 turned out for a double racing card at Truro on Labor Day. in the afternoon My Voio. (Carr). owned -by W. McGibbon. St. Stephen, won races 4" and 9 with Seven-Up Di- rect (L. Walker 2-5, Future Coun- sel (Conroy) dnf-2. Time, 2.12 3x5, 2.0!). In Race 4 there was ii colli- sion between Handbook and Fu- ture Counsel, neither of them fin- ishing. Another double winner was the pacer Rockford (Conroy). owned by Well MacNeil1, Southport. He took a new record of 2.14. Car-

dinalrs Cho (Baker) was 2-4. Rusty Hanover (Carr) 3-2, Re- sourceful (C. MacLeod) recently

purchased by John Macbeod, Yar- mouth, was anotiier double heat winner with Tom Stuart (D. Tur- ner) 2-2. Time, 2.16 4K5, 2.17 325. Still anther double heat winner was Lucky Harvester (Mauger), owned by Don MacAulay, Pugwash, with Vesta Budlong (Daniels) 2-2. Time, 2.15 325, 2.16 225. A single dash winner was Belwin Budlong, owned and driven by Harry Flet- cher. Truro, Peggy's Pride (Gould) 2. Time 2.15 225-a new record for Belwin Budlong, that looks like a promising pacer.

High payoffs and close finishes featured the evening program at Truro. The daily double paid 3202.- 20. The long shot of the night was Lady Ruthie T.. owned by Carl Mccully of Truro, that paid 334.20. Another big surprise was the win- ning of race 1 by the 3-year-old pacer Cash Hal, owned and driven by A. L. Williams, Great Village. He took in new record of 2.20. Inter- csilng is the fact that he is by Hal Boojum 2.15, that was foalcd in 1929 and if alive today would be 26 years old. He was the last male sired by Captain Aubrcy 2.07 U4. Others winners were Races 2 and 0, Lady Ruthie T. (Lenlanc), 1-1, Mae Josedalel(L, Walker) 2-9, Nilncy Britten (Dan- iels) 5-2, best time 2.17.

Westville, Gay Law (Jewett) 2. Time, 2.14.

There Was a good card of racing at the Charlottetown track on Saturday night and an especially good performance was the winning of the mile and is quarter trot by Bud's Echo. The 5-year-old Muriel E. (L. Kelly) was leading at the mile mark in 2.17 W5 and at the finish Bud's Echo just nosed her out in 2.51, an average of 34 U1) seconds for each of the five quart- ers. Bud's Echo is owned by Ralph Mchdyen of Hunter River. and was driven by Elmer smith. Glenda Mine in winning the Curtain Rniscr. took a record of 2.21 115. She is owned by Pound and Builman, Hunter River, and was driven by Cyril smith.

Leo Pi-aught had oonsidonbl. pluck in putting up a thousand dollars for an excellent l'(1(e card at Aiverside on Labor Day after- noon and was rewarded with one

a lot of trouble dragging it along a. limb against the grain of the spruce tines.

I never thought I'd live to see the' day I'd admit there was grace, beauty and fluid motion in a snake. I don't like a snake of any kind although I have long since given up killing them unless they were caught in the act of robbing a ground nesting bird or swallowing a toad. Strange as it may seem I take a great kick out of a toad. They love to have their backs scratched and who doesn't. This particular snake was sunning itself on this swamp road. It was well over two fcet long and the bright September sun enhanced its brown, yellow and gold markings.

I blocked its passage and it per- force had to climb a four foot perpendicular wall of spruce turf and roots rolled to the side by the bull dozer. It went straight up un- hurriedly. It carefully poked its head, forked tongue darting in and out, over and under obstruct- ing roots. About 8 inches of the formost portion of its body never touched the ground surface and yet it glided in effortless motion to the top. There it came to a soft shell of dried moss wbereon the sun shone brightly. It hesitated as if loath to go further and I oo- ligingly stepped back. Whcn I left it was curled up in a tight loop with a watchful head held a few inches above the coil. There was a time when that snake would have been dead before it had a chance to escape. iJimmie' skunk doesn't need any help in cleaning up our snakes.
