Mr Camp has as marw more at his ranch in- cluding colts. males and studs. He has retired Mighty sun 1.58%. Claude thlrks he was the gamest race horse he ever saw. as he was never sound. He has also retired the good trotter D’Artagnan 2.04% for a year. They haven't got over the ion of Prince Jay 1.58%. Plans were to race him quite ex- venslvely this year. His trouble previously had been a bad quarter crack. This was operated on and he was turned out~and appeared quite sound. Claude drove up to the ranch the week before Prince Jay died and shod him so the boys at the farm track could start jog- ging him. His death was caused by intestinal trouble. Prince Jay would have been eight years old this Spring and was sired by

William E. Miller. one of ham. 95-5 11¢’-NC’! II‘!-nd old-timers. celebrated his 15th birthday March 20th. He rose as usual before six a.ln. and logged most of his 30 trotters and pacers around Rose- croft Raceway. Oxon Hill. Md., before settling down to the busi. ness of celebrating his bothanm. versary. Mrs. Miller was waiting for him when he finished his training around noon and they spent the rest of the day together and in the evening a family col. den Anniversary party was ten- dered them by their son John W. Miller, their daughters and six grandchildren.

Miller won his first race at the old Brightwood race track, Wash- ington. D.C.. back in 1907 and he later won 80 races with Mary Ellen 2.00. She was the favorite at state and county fairs from New York to the Carolinas in the old days. Another horse that he had marv- elous success with was symbol Gantle 2.01-‘)4 who was in the money 71 times out of his '15 races and isnow a successful sire at Rose- croft breeding farm. At Harris-

We had a letter from a valued correspondent asking for the sum- mflry of the Two Year Old Pu- turlty Trot and Pace of 1030, in vlhich Anne Worthy was a start- er. We have looked up that futu- rity and find that Anne Worthy was not a starter. Here is a short write-up and the summary:—

Charlottetown, Labor Day, Sept. '1. 1936. Six snappy youngsters came to the wire for the first heat. Buddy Volo, the pole horse, took the lead and knew how to keep it. His stablemates, Major Bowes and Nita Volo. were right with him in second and third po- sitions with Volo Scott fourth, Leland fifth and Guy Kalmuck, who made a break before the first turn was reached and lost a lot of ground, black quite s distance. They kept these positions right to the three—quarters when Guy Kal- muck, who had been gradually creeping up. pulled out and went right around the trailers finishing a close second, Nita Volo third. Major Bowes fourth. second heat: They got away on the eighthsoore in practically the same positions as the first heat. Guy Kalmuck made a. bad break which spoiled his chances. Volo Scott made a try on the back stretch the sec- ond time around and came a good third but could not catch Nita Volo; Major Bowes fourth; Lela.nd [bettering his position one place: ‘Guy Kulmuok sixth. Third heat: This was practically a repetition

of the second heat. the horses getting away in the same posi- tions and finishing exactly the

Point Edward, N. 5.

One of the most thrilling races that ever took place over the Charlottetown track was on Fri- day afternoon, August 29th of the above meeting. The pacer Viking 2.09 had been purchased by Rich- ard Jabalee of North Sydney, N. 5.. two days previous to the race and placed in the hands of Jim- mie Smith. Viking had cost the new owner somewhere close to $1,000, but successful speculation wiped out the price and left a margin to the good. Summary:—— 2.15 Trot and Pace: Viking 2.09 (J. Smith 4-1-1; Quaker Girl 2.09% (Burgess) 1-2-2; Sig-nal Eenator 2.081‘) (Sweeney) 2-5-5; Pluolry Scott 2.06 (McKenna) 9-4- 3; Dolly Azoff 2.07 (E. Avery) 6- 3-6; Peter Onward 2.11%.’.

Me. and driven by Earle Avery, had set up the present track pacing record at Charlotte- town Exhibition-—2.05l‘:. That tough pacer Marjorie M. had won the 2.11 Trot and Pace two days pre- viously with this summary: Mar- jorie M. 2.07% (Jabalee) l-1-1; iBud Wenger (2.06!/4 (Avery) 3-2-2; :Plucky Scott 2.06 (‘McKenna) 2-4-

He had raced sensatlonally prior to 1936, taking his record over a half-mile track and winning several very hard- fought races. Prior to his pur- chase by Frank Adams he had been in an accident and he was not in a position to do full jus- tice to himself when he raced in the Maritimes.

The free-for-ails for pacers pro- mlse to be outstanding this season in the U.S. A. Never before have so many great pacers been pre- pared for the fray. Their first meeting will be at RosecroftR.ace- l way. Oxon Hill. Md. and a total.‘ of 21 stars are entered for that event there. Among them is Way- zoff 2.03 3/5, who holds the track pacing record at Foxboro and will be one of the starters in the $25.- ooo pacing derby at Vernon Downs, N. Y., July 15th.

life? Is it streams and rivers devoid ‘ of trout and salmon that navel been polluted beyond the safety] margin? is it marshes‘ and lakes, barren of waterfowl, shore birds“ muskrats or other form of IIIETI Is it dry watersheds and unsight-

ly tracts of rotting stumps andI dead snags? No -- Certainly not.‘ It means clear, gravelly brooks. Shady pools. the splash of feeding trout or the swirl of a mighty salmon. It means long skeins of waterfowl on the horizon, the pulse stirring honking of wild gecse, the sweet. flute-like notes of curiew.[ It means quiet. shady watercourses, ‘ red winged black birds swaying‘ on the flags. the V of a swimming 1 muslu-at, the hollow elusive note‘ of the bittern . as the poet wrote . .

“Are we in danger of losing this

heritage?" do I hear someone ask.

Yes, in this age of progress bull-

dozers and other mechanical mon-' sters devised for the destruction: of nature as it was created. it could happen. Take stock of what has happened during the past 10,’ years. Whole areas of spruce for-1‘ ests, thousands of acres in extent,

have been turned into desserts of‘ piled slash and dead tree tops so matted and so deep that second growth has‘nt a chance. The} beautiful valley of the West River

beech and maple reflected the‘ sunshine and their leaves WI‘llS- pered together in the evening quiet. is now a monument to man's destruction that will take a half century to erase. The whine of. power saws, the ring of axes, the

laboured rumble of trucks have ceased. For the time being Nature can lick her wounds in peace.

Seven years ago I flew low over the eastern section of Kings county. From the head of North Lake to the Head of Fortune stretched mile upon mile of unbroken spruce. greenery. Then the pulp boom hit‘ the province. Dealers from the mainland vied with each other in competition and pulp prices climbed to a record figure. Three years later I flew over the same route.

Return: from the plebiscite on opening dates for geese. ducks, huns and pheasants are slow com- ing in. Less than 200 on March 31 and we have an estimated 10 to 12 thousand hunters in the province. Nevertheless even the slow percentage of returns received indicate a. fairly definite trend. A breakdown shows the majority favours October 10. for geese, Huns and Pheasants and October 1 for ducks. There is also a marked pre- ference shown to have the same opening date for all four species of game birds listed. Naturally there is a wide divergence of opinion in the opening dates for ducks but

formation and to satisfy your curiosity I'll give you the votes on those dates Sept. 25-17, Oct. 1-30. Oct. 10-25, Oct 15—10 .

There is a natural inclination for those opposed to the seasons set last year as opening date. October 10. for all four. to get busy and vote. I know a lot of hunters who are satisfied with the dates set last season and yet are inclined to rest on their cars. Don't all back now and beef afterward. Furthermore at least 1,000 returns are needed to furnish an accurate overall picture. This is the'last call to the Diner . . . if you haven't a printed ballot form send in your choice by letter.
