Carl MacKenzie. race secretary Truro Raceway. has sent us an entrance form for the “Jo1lity" th 1* e e_-year - old Trot and Pace, foaled -in Canada, for a gum-an. teed purse of $6,000. It is sponsor- ed by the Eastern Driving Assoc- iation, Dartmouth, N.S., and is for foals of 1957 to race at a track in the Maritime provinces in 1960.
The first Payment. to be made on May 1. 1953, is ten dollars. Entries will be mailed to horse. men within the next week. or you can write to Carl MacKenzie and he will forward one to you. An ad will appear in the Charlotte- igwn Guardian on or about April
The President of the Eastern Driving Association is Fred M. Lahey. and the vice-president is George Turner. Carl informs us that our mutual friend, and in great favorite of all Maritime horsemen, Donnie Turner. is in Halifax hospital and will require a long rest to get back to harness horse training and racing again.
About 50 horses are stabled at the Triiro race track, and the trainers are looking forward to some good weather, so that they can start working slow miles.
A GREAT HORSEMAN
And now we make an announce- ment that has caused us sorrow and has been a great surprise - namely, the death of Frank B’. Adams, one of the Maritimes" best-loved and ‘greatest horse- men. ~ _ We,k,neyv that Frank was not in the best of health. having re- tired from his duties as alderman in the city of Halifax where he had served for many terms and enjoyed the love. affection and re- spect of that fine city’s inhabi- tants. But we did not believe he was critically ill.
Frank Adams became connect.- ed with the sport about 1912, when the grea-t pacer, Frank Patch. owned by Adams and Mit- chéll was winning the free-for-alls throughout the Maritimes. A few years later. Frank-became the driver of the Patch horse and con- tinued his winning career. He bought other horses. and the F r a n k Adams "string” was sought-after by leading Maritime tracks for their drawing power.
The greatest of his galaxyof speed was Watchim. 2.06, that was unbeatable over Maritime tracks, and with Billy Hood up, set the Chatham track . trotting record at 2.081/z on July-1. 1955: St. Stephen trotting record at 2.06%. on Aug. 25. 1966;. Sydney trotting record of 2.10 on Septem- ber 26, 1945; the Truro trotting record at 2.09 on September 13. 1944: and the Charlottetown tro- ing record of 2.07% on August. 17. 1945.
Frank Adams will be missed and mourned by thousands of friends that he ‘made in his jour- ney through life. We can think backwith pleasure on the warm welcome we would receive when we brought horses to trace at Hali- fax, and the trouble he would take to make things comfortable

ColncI't'o I I n By
March, with its breath and blustery winds. is on its last. lap and smiling April is just a- round the corner. April is better known as the trout fisherman’s month — the fifteenth is the day a long winter's dreaming be- comes a reality and the legal date to weta line.
This columnist is predicting .3. successful opening day on the fif- teenth if. the weather is at all favourable. Trout will be active and it better conditions. The riv- ers and brooks were open and full running practically all win- ter. With nto frost in the ground, with the exception of a few inches on top on occasion, the worms. 3 food dear to a trouts heart, did not go ‘deep under ground and numbers were washed into the streams during heavy rains of mid-winter. Naturally with food
for the taking trout were active all season.
DIFFERENT YEAR Our previous winter was entire-
rg hill
and river was sealed under a heavy coat of ice and snow. Wat-' er levels were low and the trout in a semi-dormant state from December until late April. I nev- er remember trout being in such poor condition as they were on the opening. day, 1957. They were slab sided as a horse with the heaves and more fit for the ash can than a frying pan. There were exceptions of course, but on the whole April trout last season were far below par in resptct to table qualities. Its the food that puts the filavour in trout and they have such a vast variety to choose from after Nature comes to life. To this column-list way of thinking trout do not begin to get their real trouty flavour until May 1st. I am referring to fresh water trout naturally.
I note by a news item in the local Press there is a possibility that a number of our controlled ponds will be kept closed until July 1st for the benefit of tour- ists. I believe that one of our na- tlonally known trout biologists made the suggestion in his re- port to the Department concern- ed; Sin'7ce.”th”e write-up appeared in the Press there has comment on the subject along the line that our trout biologists are contradic- ting themselves. One angler made this remark to the writer: “They tell you in one breath that it is impossible to fish a pond -out with ordinary angling methods and in the next imply that a pond can be fished out before July 1st " Another remarked: “Authorities advocate a year ‘round season on trout one year and the next ad- vise keeping. certain trout fishing areas closed until July 1st so as to save ‘them for the Tourist trade. -- just what goes?”
an all year open season on trout nor never had. I think I made that point clear in my column. However, I can see t-he point in preserving a numgér of our trout ponds until July 1st for the bene- fit of tourists. I feel certain that the Bilogist concerned did not wishto create the impression that

a pond could be ‘fished out’ by October 1st but meant. rather that ‘ the cream could be skimmed ---- the trout cream I mean —~ from any specific pond or dam between April 15th and June 30th’. A pond does not have to be fished out to put a ‘crimp in the trout fishing.
WON '1‘ BITE
For an example: A Pond may contain two thousand fishable trout its peak population. With such a number there is strong competition for food. Remove half that number and the trout be- iome finicky. A trout with a full stomach is not going to grab the first morsel of food that comes its way unless its an old sockdlolager in a cantankerous mood. This is no guess work. It was tried out at the Hatchery Pond, Southport. A week before the Pond was due to be drained it was thrown open to Public fishing. The first day scores of anglers lined its banks or fished from boats. If my mem- ory serves me correctly the catch on the first day was in the vic- inity of 600. All trout taken were measured and weighed. ‘
After the third day the catch fell off sharply and the last two days the take was so small. the Biologists were certain the pond was depleted. Many anglers nev- er had a nibble for two days. There was a big surprise in store when the pond was drained -- a surprise for anglers as well as biologists. It still held between 900 and 1,000 trout. The number left in the pond was about equal to the number taken out by _z-mgliiig.

DAM BUILDING
This columnist is a strong be- liever in dam building. They serve a four-fold purpose. They benefit the Angler, trapper. hunt- er and farmer. It is probably the farmer who benefits most of all. Apart from the sport angle such da in s preserve moisture and maintain our water table without much Agriculture wouldcease to be an ociupation.
Trout fishing is a major attrac- tion for tourists and yet it has been woefully neglected. I say this without. fear of contradict- ion. If I had the money that. has floated down the drain with the Pheasant Program during the past three years I could build fif- ty dams. I don‘t mean pip squeak
