Matt McAdam. well known horseman from Glace Bay writes . . . . . "Veils Ln Vella has arriv- ed and has many admirers here, as she well deserves for she has been one grand race mare and a great bunch own her, all splen- did fellows. P. J. Csdegsn is going strong, a great sportsman and one of the best boosters for our sport in Cape Breton. He is on the suiky or cart at seven o'clock in the morning. The Playdale colt that Dr. Hugh MacDonald bought from William D. Macxenzie, Flat River. is showing up well for syl Phalen and I'll miss my guess if he does not make the grade. He is a smooth pacer and knows how to put them down" . . . . Thanks. Matt. wearsgiadtohsarfrosn you.

Once again Joe O'Brien has shown great ability to train a horse and drive him to a new rec- ord. In this column some time ago we predicted that Brewer's Gallon would take a record of 2.04 or bet- ter and we were not greatly sur- prised when he won the 03,500 trot at Santa Anita last week. trotting his mile in 2.03. Within. six months in Joe's hands he has lowered his record from 2.1051 to 2.” U3. sot we and now to 10.1. We hope eventually he will give the Msritisno-owned trotter s rec- ord of 2.00 or better.

A well known horseman. Mike lidoxsnns. Verfior. Bridge, is re- tiring and will dispose of his stal- lion, Calmont Peter by Kalmuck 2.1535, his valuable brood mare. Miss Belle Vernon and Queen Belle by Pagiiaeci, dam, Miss Belle Vernon. when we first started driving race horses Mike was also in the game, and we had several battles which we both enjoyed. His retirement we are sure will not mean any loss of interest in the sport of which he is so well in- formed.

Tbs movie. Silks and Sulkles, taken Last Old Home Week, was shown to quite a number of horse- men and oihers at the film room in Prince of Wales College this week by Mr. Bramwell Chandler. Prior to that it was shown at the Travel Bureau dinner at the Charlotte town Hotel and will certainly be s wonderful adverilsment for this Province. The story is well fold of the birth of a young puceir EA his progress in breaking and training and the race in which he makes his bid to fame. Willard Kelly as the father and Roach Mt.-Gregor as the son, take their parts perfectly and the race is really most interesting as described by Bill Brown. It will be shown in television in the United States and is particularly adapted for that purpose. We pre- sum it will also be' shown throughout this Province.

The following letter is from Tom Wigmore, ex-M. 1'... A, who is visiting friends in the United Staies...."I was one of a crowd of 24,000 to 28,000 at Yonkers Race- way the other night. They were all shouting with everything the had at the finishes-no clam no i bet- ter than 2.21. so I remarked to my ilriend 'that if our colts would not make better time than that we would scrap them. A man just be- hind me who was betting quite heavily and losing. answered. "They must be good ones where you come from. I never heard tell of dat place." However. this is a magnificent property and no doubt the track will be quite fast later on. The seating is comfortable and the background of the race track is white and on the far side the horses show up wonderfully pilnin. We plan on being back home May .20th!"' Enclosed was two Yonkers programs with a P. 3. "Give Jack Kennedy one of these and tell him to paint everything white.”

We were pleased to have a post card from Daytona Beach, Florida, from W. Anneii, Manager of ihe Bank of Montreal, Gaspe, P. Q. who is vacationing there. It reads "This is such a lovely place. Ar- rived here from Key West a week ago. May be in Charlottetown in late May". Mr. Anneit is a great horse lover and with his daughter and son-in-law witnessed night racing here last August and liked it very much.

We were delighted to have a lei- ter from Joe O'Brien last evening which gives some later news than appears above ..... .. "I am getting somewhere with Robert Morris. He was sour with the hopples so I took them off. His first siart he broke finishing. The next start he broke leaving. The third start he stayed pacing and was nosed out in 2.01 2-5 in a photo finish. The next start he came from last horse place at the three-quarter pole (had last position leaving) and won in 2.01 3-5. If he continues to be have good I believe I will have a very fast horse. lie is on-ly four years old, is by Volonmiie 2.0356 and his dam is the famous brood mare The Worthy Miss Morris. The same day I drove Lana Direct for Dana Cam- eron. She hsd eighth position going away and came from last at the threecquarter pole to win by six lengths in 2.01 4-5. I timed her last half in 58 (-5. She is free-legged. So far this year I have only driven one hoppled pacer and that was a catch drive. I am going to start some of my colts now but will probably be finishing last most of the time un- til they get educated. I was very disappointed in Dr. Stanton, I think in was trained from 2.02 to 2.15 for such a long time that he got stale or worn out or something, did not seem to have any speed at all in the only race he started in so far.

"I gave Mr. Cr-urns-ner the Gu- ardian sbout mo night racing in Canada and he said he would write you. He still talks about the Island and the good time he had there when he raced Guy the Tramp 2.0296. If possible I would like to go home for a couple of days around June 25th, wh.ich.is my birthday. I might leave here on June 10th, go home for two days and be back in Saratogs by June 30th.".... How about being here for the nighi. races June 24th and driving a horse or two? We are sure your fans would be delighted.

We are glad to see our good friend Louis G. Najac's photo op- pearing in a recent imue of Hoof Bests. He is one of the senior sporin writers in the United States and his columns in the Providence Journal and other papers is widely reed.

Chicago Cubs yesterday routed Hal Gregg with a five-run explos- ion ln the third inning and hung on for a 0-3 triumph over Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League.

Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals were scheduled to go in a night encounter-only other game on the date book.

The Cubs concentrated four hits. all extra-base blows. in the big in- ning against the Pirates. Wayne Terwilllger doubled and scored on a similar wallop by Hank Ed-wards. Preston Ward followed with his third homer of the season. Hank Sauer then walked and Andy Pafko hammered his No. 4 homer into the bleachers.

Jim Walsh cooled Chicago in ihst inning, then Vic Lombardi entered to check the Cribs with a lone un- earned run the rest of the way.

However, the Bucs could make no progress against Bob Rush de- spite repealed opporiuniiiu. They collected 10 hits and received the ndciifional aid of ihree' walks and iwo Cuberrors. But Rush managed to scramble out of repeated deng- er and finished with his third vic- iory.

Nanny Fernandez, who collected a pair of doubles, knocked in two unearned runs in the first inning when Roy Smalley opened the gates with an error. Fernandez opened the fourth with a iwo-bag- ger and scored on Danny Mur- taugh's single.

It was the fifth defeat in the last six games for the Pirates.

Ewell Blackwell tightened the screws on St. Louis Cards with a five-chit performance that gave the last-place Reds a 3-1 victory. The Reds belted Harry Brecheen and A1 Brazil! for 10 hits.

Mrs. Webster is plannins to preserve several hundred crow stomachs in 3 formaldehyde solu- tion which will later be examined by an expert government analyst. It is hoped to determine by this method just where the crow fits in the Farmer-sportsman picture. This investigation is well aware of the fact that egg contents do not show up in an analysis of a crow's stomach and in order to determine damage done to nexsting wild ducks by crows it will be necessary to keep duck nests under observation. Mr. Webster is equipped with a tent and canoe but so far finding a wild duck's nest is like looking for a needle in a hayataok. It has been this columnist's experience that one never finds a black duck'a nest when one is looking for it. They are invariably stumbled upon dur- ing the course of routine or alm- less rambles.
