other letter from our good friend

the late James MacDonald of this city, George is in France and has been for some months. He says he is awfully bus but finds time to read the cl ppings about the races here which he receives regu- larly. He thinks the race be- tween Watchim and Lee Brewer must have been a crackerfack and that it was a wonderful perform- ance on a slow day and slo\v track. George wants to be re- membered to all his friends and hopes to see them at Old Home Week next year. —O_ James L. Read, our Truro corre- spondent, writes us that Johnny Conroy is nicely settled in his old quarters at the track and has four horses, Jollity, 2:05 1-4. Gay Law 2:06 1-2. Sandy D. 2:09 1-2, and Hillside Scott 2:11 1-4. They look so well that one could hardly believe they had been racing all summer through the Maritime circuit. , Now they are being let down over the cin- der path on the outside of the track. Previous, Johnny's winner of a section of the 2:25 class Old Home Week, has been sold to Fred Turner of Dartmouth and will be raced over the icc this winter. i}
