Robert S. Humphrey, well known

fox rancher of xensington and breeder of fine standard bred hor- W5. has a8CBlV0d the following let- ter from the Canadian Home Shows Association, Toronto :- "Congratu- lations from the Canadian Horse Shows Association! We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded the C.H.S.A. Certificate of Achievement for winning, with your horse, "Monana". the highest number of points in the Roadster Division at our Member Shows in Zone IV during the past year The Certificates are now in the course 0. preparation and will be approp- riately engrossed and framed, and presented to the winners at our annual dinner which fcllcl'.'s the annual meeting on Friday.

If you have friends in the horse show world whom, you would like to have with you on this occasion, they will be most welcome and extra dinner tickets will be available for them at the door. Won't you try to be with us? Sincerely yours, J. Lance Rumble, President." To the above we also add our wag. tulations.

Haber M. Sweeney of Bridgewat- er, N.B., has been holidaying at- tending the races at Dufferin Park tract. Toronto. It is possible that I-Ieber is on the lookout for more apeed and we won't be a bit sur- prised if he returns home the own- er of mother good pacer. In the past such excursions have usually resulted in his buying one or more horses.

We regret to learn that our friend Percy Walsh. representative of Bell's remedies. was taken ill last week. due to over-exertion. We trust that this is only temporary and that he soon will be around as usual.

We are very glad to hear from an old horseman friend, R. S. lDlck" Starr of Wolfville. N.-5.. as Yollc-we: "I am one of the old tim-

Thank you. friend Dick. for re- membering us and bringing to mind so many owners and drivers that we admired very much.

Spurge's article was entitled "Weekly Talk on Turf Matters" and it gave a list of the record trotters from Lady Suffolk, who on C her 13th, 1845. at I-Ioboken, N. J.. trotted a mile in 239V.-. In llrli Goldsmith Maid, then 14 years of age. set a new record at Milwaukee. Wis.. of 2.17. which she lowered the following year to meal. and two years later in 1814, to 2.16 and three times afterwards that same year she set up new world's re- cords, finally on September 2nd at Boston, Mesa, trotting in 2.l4. which remained the world's record for four years when Rams lowered it to 2.1396.

Maud S. was the next great trot- ter to appear and as a six-year-old September 8th. 1880, she lowered the record to 2.1096. She set up a new world's record twice as a sev- en-year-old and twice as a ten- lleli-T-Old. and finally in her elev- enth yesr at Clevenland, Ohio, on June 13th. 1885. trotted in 2.0814. Nancy Hanks. whose blood flows through many of the great trotting performers today. became the next star in the trotting firmament As a six-year-old hooked to a bike sulky she set up 3 World's record of 2.0'llA. August 1'ith. 1893. and on August 31st lowered that to 2.0514 . and finally on September 28th she trotted to a record of 2.04. The bike sulky was a makeshift affair with the frame of the high-wheel. ed sulky attached to a pair of bicycle wheels. It would be see- onds slower than the modem bike because of the drivers high perch and the fact that it weighed 00 pounds. The list then shows the Yemainlne champions. The Abbott 2.11m.

Sllurseon Gammon will be re- membered by many as one of the most sentlemanly and considerate horsemen ever known. He was a good trainer. a good driver andfor years he was a driver or official at races in Charlottetowfi. Halifax, New Glasgow. and other places One afternoon in September, 10123. he called the writer up saying that he had a trotter that was another Bill Sharen and that he would sell him for 31.500. Bis descrip- tion was so good that we borrowed me MOMY and sent it along. Be- fore he arrived Mr. Mcmre and I had left for Wisconsin with the expectation of selling about 75 P311”: of foxes. but the deal did not materialize. On the way home I was cheered by the thought of hav- ins a drive behind the wonderful new trotter-'I'vhe Yank.
