Plants not what is, but is to be-

fears, _ ,

As seed or acorn from the cold

And dungeon darkness 'if the mould

To light upsprings_

Who plants a tree ‘ Blesses earth’s children yet to be Toilers shall rest beneath its shade, The dreamere dream ol' golden hours, And frolic youth and Winsome maid Shall bless the shadow that it gives; So, happy birds among the leaves,

And lowly flowers.

Willard. the champion boxer has pur- chased the once famous Highland Stock Farm. near Dubuque, Ill., where Nutwood 2.18%. and other noted trot- ting horses were owned a quarter oi it century ago. H. L. and F. D. Stout who owned the horses and the farm, had a veritable gold mine in thc' boom days of breeding trotters_ Nut- wood commanded a stud fee of $1,000 and his coltswere readily salable at from $2,000 to' $10,000 each. i

` ' Il 1 t The word from 'i‘oronto_is that ueith

er_ the ~ Dufferin Driving Club nor the Toronto Driving Clubwill hold their trotting meeting this spring. This has been _deéided owing to the lack of entries in 'thedfferiieng classes. A year ago all

thx; events; were 'well filled, _'lint this se _hon there’ isa ‘dearth _'of trotting material. (ine of the reasons is the backward spring. which has put 'horsemen at `a disadvantage in pre- -paring their charges,'while another reason is the fact that American horse- men are laboring under the idea that if they ship to Canada their horses may be comrnandered by the Govern- ment. _Bothclubs intend to hold meet- ings later on in the season, probably in October.

Eight stakes, each worth $400, com-

prise the early closing programme for ‘ the harness races at the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition, to be _held in Halifax from September 18th tn 21st. The events are similar to those _ln- cluded in tlie_ilalii'ax programme each 'year' and should pretty well 'suit the campaigning stables to be sent out from P. E. island this_year_ The com- plete list follows:

Entries for the stakes are to close

on June 20th, and horses must. have been, eligible on M_ay_ 22nd. which ineans that Victoria ‘Day records will _not be,a bar in any of these events. The class races will be announced later and will probably be equally as many in number and likely will have purses of the same value. _ . e a n A review of the stakes raced during

the season of 1915 discloses the fact that there were thirty-four events uu- der this head decided inthe United -States and that seventeen. or _exactly one-half, wereiwon by the- get of Peter the Great, 2.07%. five by menibersof
