Mr. Gordon Dawson, summersidc, was in town on Thursday and Fri- day on a brief visit to friends. Hc is one of our most enthusiastic horsemen and has b ed and raced some good ones. This year he has made entries iii both the tub-your- old and three-year-old fiittirities.

The great brood mare Abbacy (4) 2.04 1-2 passed awaylast wc-ck at Arrowpoint Farm, Kentucky. Sh: was fooled in 1918, a daughter of The Abbe 2.04. Her dam was Regal McKinney. After he!" racing cart-er was over she was purchased by Crfumet Farm and produced June Abbe (3) 2.04, Then mated to Guy PWvortlw, 2.08% she produced what was to be her most famous foal, Guy Abbey (3) 2.06 3-4. Guy Abbey raced y-eii as u thrcJ-year- old, winning some stakes and was second in others including the Hambietozilan. but it was as a sire that ne cast lustre on himself nnd on his dam with the incomparable Greyhound 1.59 1-4, wo.ld's c am- pion trotter. and_the double-gutted phenomenon C1 umet Evc-yn p 1.59 1-4, t 1.59 1-2, and others.

two year perl (1888-1889) showed 337 rsotis suspended, 178 expel- led, 0'14 horses suspended and 111

horses expelled.

Twenty years ago the time al- lowance rule of two seconds for horses that did not equal or lower their win lace recoros came in vogue. It proved a stimulus to racing u it brought back quite a number of outclassed horses to competition.
