The most sensational lwo-year- uld developed in California for a long time has been sold to Sol Camp and is now being trained by Joe O'Brien. He is Ma.c Prim- rose and is a beautiful chestnut by Peter Prlmose p. 2.01 U2. dam. Tronia by Perk Axworthy 3, 2.09- 12. Peter Primrose is by Peter Volo 2, 202, dam. Primrose Helen by Atlantic Express 22.07 3. 4. sec- nnd dam, Margaret Svpangler 2.02- 14 by Guy Axworthy. He was bred by Walnut Hall Farm. Don- nerail. Kentucky. and sold to C. .1. Hanson. Stockton, Cal., and re- (-cnily his get have been showing up particularly well in California.

31 Shively. who is well along in the 70's, brought his horses back to Lexington. Ky.. last week. They include the triple crown winner Sharp Note 3. 200. Every few years Bi comes otit with a really seii- sational liorse and Sharp Notes win of the Hambietoiiiaii was one of the most unexpected suiiprises in recent years. Other trainers are leaving Florida forgmore northerly parts and they include Wayne Smart. a very likeable man. that has the Castleton 1-'a:iii stable of 30 head. He has moied to Dela- ware, Ohio. The weather has be- come just a little too warm for horsemen in Florida and they will practically all have moved out bv the time t.his appears in print. A dinner celelbriitiiig Mir. Shively's 75th birthday was given on the evening of March 27th by Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Clarke, of Dearborne. Michigan, owner of the 1952 Haiti- bletonian winner, Shani Note. Flteeders of ISIVQ-IVIQRIWI breds willy notice an ad for Mona McKanei on this page. This mare has breed- i ing lit for any Standardbred farm. Her sire, Clover Gtiy 2.07 1'4. was one of the best trotters in they eastern states and Maine for sev- eral years and her dam. Kitty Mc- Kane, took her record when tracks were many seconds slowcr Ihfllll they are at present. Her sire, Chestnut Peter 3, 2.05 334. was one of the best trotters on the Grand, Circuit and the winner of several,' of the largest stakes. She hast still many years of productivity left and mated with the right horse should produce outstanding trotters. l

California horsemen believe that Mac Primrose is destined to be one of the all time California bred greats among the harness horses. Some weeks ago he paced a mile in 2.16 with the last half in 1.03 U2 and the last quarter in 31 seconds and IL was just an easy workout for him. No price has been dis- closed but it is reputed to be one of the largest prices paid for a two-year-old in California for many years. The all time TECOHI for a two-yeai-.old was paid by .1. Malcolm Forbes of Ponkaponk, Mass. for At-inn, that took ll. two- year-old record of 210 3 4 to high wheels-the price, 3125.000.

It is Mr. Camp's ambition to have the best racing stable of harness horses in the world and he plans that he will arrive at the top within the next three years. and we hope so. Clarence 1-laiisoii. the man who owned the sire and sold the two-,vea.r-old, is one of the most reliable trainers in be found anywhere. One of his patrons is Walter S. Found. Mer- csd, Cal., a former Islander who has a son of Peter Primrose that. he expects to put in the 2.00 list tlizs year, also scveral others by him. While visiting here two years ago Walter talked a lot about Mr. Hanson, saying what an honor- able man he was and how de- pendable and what a great trainer he had proved to be. He is a Mormon by religion and a tenth of what he makes is given away for good purposes. That is I tenet of their religion.

Ral-ph McFaCI)'Ell of Hunter Riv-I er, Prince Edward Iisland, tookl down the Chiimipionship Free-For All Face with his 15-year-old mare, Mabel Patch driven by Elmerl Smith. The new queen of the ice- ways also paced the fastest heat of the meeting with a trip over the quarter-mile course in 29 sec- onds. Another lslandcr. Myron Bcl! of Charlottetown, won the trot-I ting crown with Rajah Hanoveinl a seven-year-old geldcd son off Dean Hanover, who also chippedy off ll. trip in 29 seconds on the,

Henry H. Knight who lured the areatest; ti-otter the world has ever produced. Greyhound 1.55 U4. as well as innumerable others, some of which have found their way to the Maritimes, recently bought a 400 acre falm and that brings his farm holdings in Kentucky to 4.200 acres. They include 860 at Coldslream Farm and 2100 at Almahurst. Quzirtered at the two farms are 157 brood mares and 108 yearlings. His Scotch short- hom cattle herd numbers over 300 and he recently imported two shorthorn bulls from Scotland, one oosting 315,000 and the other 312,- 000..Part of theVlands he owns was bought from Richard S.

day with a north-nor east wind that was cold enough to curdle one's blood. There is nothing much of good that can be said about the day except to relate that some nice catches of trout were creeled despite the unfavourable troutlng conditions. They saw it's an 111 wind that blows nobody good and if an inclement. opening day work- edgagalnst the fishermen it saved quite a few thousand trout that have lived to fight another day on account of WE:itIlef.COnd1T.IOXlS.

If the warm spring weather of the preceeding week had have con- tinued until Wednesday the trout would have taken an awful heat- ing and I am afraid some pocket books would have been badly de- flated. A lot of anglers find it aw- ful hard to pack away the fishing POCI when the trout are on a bit- ing spree. Trout schools were very active on Saturday and Sunday preceedlng the opening day and many were surface feeding qtilte

freely. Most all gravel and dirt roads were in good shape with summer driving conditions on

many. All good fishing spots were Petidlly accessible as late as Mon- day noon.

Ram set in during the late af- ternopn a soft steady drizzle that by night fall had changed driving conditions considerably. The rain continued all night without any apparent let-up. Dull weather in- terspersed with showers continued "Om NTIY WPGIIESGRY morning and by that time all gravel and diit roads were good places to steer clear of. some catches were Wally remarkable considering con- ditions and some creels were check- ed that would bring a gleam to the dullest eye.

. . .

North Lake let anglers down badly and even Whitlockls offered little to compensate fishermen who battled mud and slough holes to reach the pond. Other spots from which nothing rcinarkable was expected by those who patronized them more from force of habit then anything else paid on tn grand style. Many beautiful clean cut trout in the one and two pound classes were crecled but the- bulk of the trout checked were in the half pound and three to the pound bracket.
