Cyril L. Dauphinee, well known horse enthusiast of Halifax, has taken over the race track at Bridgewater, N. 5., and is putting on a program of racing May ztth. We hope Cyril will meet with good success and that this former lmpular racing center will again be the scene of many sparkling contests. It was at Bridgewater that the fastest mile paced in the Maritirnea in recent years was stepped by Jolllty—2.05 1/I.

Hazelbrook and its vicinity is one of the best farming sections in this province and quite a num- ber of good trotters and pacers have been bred there. For future racing there are a lot of promis- ing colts that are being developed largely because one of the most successful farmers. Lawson Wood, has with some assistance from the neighbors. built a real nice half- mile track on his farm with Judges stand, ctc., and the neighbors can be found there every fine evening trying out their speed prospects. some 20 trotters and pacers have been counted and miles around 2.40 are common.

We understand that a. race meet

four or five classes can be made up from the 10 or 20 horses. The whole thing will be for fun; there will be no prizes and nothing that can injure the eligibility of ahorse and it is expected that neighbors for miles around will be on hand to see the sport. some of the horses owned there are swtty Watson.

A despatch from the United States Trotting Association. Col- umbus. Ohio. states that a record number of harness horses will go to the races in 1954. Applications for racing certificates up to May lst reached an all time high oi 10,610, which is see more than the previous year at that date. Last year a total of 13.104 horses got to the races. If the current trend continues it is expected that 14,000

them over to the buyer. Promises are often like pie crust, and Just recently we have had letters from several people and also calls local- ly that showed evidence of bad faith on the part of seller. Caveat emptor was one of the early Latin phrases we learned and as you know. it means—-let the buyer be- ware—and in nothing is more cau- ticn needed than in buying a race horse or prospective race horse.

Another thing that is ‘sometimes forgotten is that when the buyer receives his registration certificate properly endorsed, he fails to send it to the U.B.'1‘. A. with 81.00 for transfer. otherwise if it is left for over thirty days it is £2.00 and over 90 days the fee is 810.00. Owners of 1064 colts or earlier should get them registered right away.

Last week in our report of the saratoga sale we stated that there were no particulars in the report we had seen of Quebec buyers making purchases. Now we have before us complete figures show- ing horses sold, purchasers and prices paid, which appeared in The Horseman and Fair World, Indi- anapolis, Indiana. The 4-year-old pacing mare Moo M00 and Char- les M. Clay. a 3-year-old. were bought by Roland Martin. R.imou- ski, Que. for 3250 each: Fianna Frisco, a yearling by Frisco Dale. to Real Cournoyer, Drummond- ville. for 81100; another year-old by Sky Raider, went to the same party for $450: Bellini Rosecroft. a :5-year-old pacer to R. Larat, Joge. Ont. for $250; Edgar Rosecroft. a 4-year-old trotter to Edgar Dal-

wich. Ont. for $2,400; Roan Prince, a 3-year-old by Victorious Hal to Edgar Dalier. St. Raphael, for $1100 and Lucky Chips C. 2.20 3/5 to the same party for $275.

Toledo 2.14. was sold to R. Ger- ard. Richelieu Park, Montreal, for 8925: Hard Way, a 6-year-old by Volation. to Roland Martin, Rim- ouski. for $750. We looked up quite a number of the purchases in the 1953 Year Book and from the race records would say that they ap- peared to have been well cold. of coune one reason for the large number of buyers from Quebec is that these men were no doubt among the horsemen whose stables were burned out last fall at Rich- elieu and now they are stocking up with expectations of making good this year. We noticed that the horses they bought. were young. ianging in age from yearlings to 6-ycar-olds and of course they will have lots of time to improve.

The provincial department con- cerned are well aware of the wide difference of opinion amp: the different groups of hunters and is also convinced that it would be an utter impossibility to set a. sea- son that would please everyone. Selecting a suitable openlnz 113%? is further complicated by the Fed- eral Department at Ottawa taking a dim view on split seasons. Last year (1053) in a conscientious ef- fort to strike a happy medium be- tween the two extreme factions the season was opened on October 10. on ducks. geese, woodcock, snipe. 1-lune and pheasants. The season on ducks and geese closed on Dec- ember b, on l-lune and pheasants November 20. and on woodcock and snipe on November 11.

A tabulated statement of the results of the plebiscite was pub- lished in our local newspapers this week. To an unbiased reader the results indicated that the majority of hunters either favoured the date set by the Department (Oct. 10) or October 15 on pheasants, 1-lune and geese with a very close vote on ducks. The highest single vote on ducks was for October 1 with 332.

voured a season later than October 8. October 10. 15. and 20, were the dates favoured. A majority of five is nothing here or there consider- ing over 9.000 hunters did not take the trouble to vote at all and it is reasonable to assume those nine thousand hunters were either satis- fied with the season that applied in 1853-Oct. 10, all around—or not greatly concerned whether it open- ed on the 1. or 10.

After reading the tabulated re- sults the average hunter took it as an acceptance of the season set last year and an affirmative vote of confidence on behalf of the De-

Apparently they chose the high- est single vote for one specific date regardless of what was voted be- fore or after. For instance the vote on Huiis for October 1 was ‘:55 and on October 10. a majority of 7 for an earlier sea- son. The fact that lw voted for a Hun season to open on Oct. 15 and 40 for October 20 cut no ice at all.
