Last season Guy was converted to the trot and we hope in a few days to have inc Ycar 13001; which will give the rcsulis of his rnces at that gait. ‘llze inst scaron that he was a 1w- . ence as a race in i032 when ants and won two~tiic 2.1:: pace over the hali- mile track at DeLi-olt, lzcst time 2.005.. and the 2.12 class m; the Sag- iiinu, li/lic.i., lc-inilc track, best time 2.08‘... He docs not appear stout enough for the competition that lie wou;u be up‘ against in a 2.12 class in this country, but perhaps 1n his new role as a. trotter he may be able to held summaries.

Jimmie Sanderson writing from ' Truro to a. friend in this city says: “There are some beautiful colts by Abbe Worthy, 2.05 here. One of the lianrlsomest is owned by Frank Mc- Curdy and is out of Dora Mac, 2.15% I am sui'e fond of Abbe Worthy and I believe he could have beaten 2.09 the day he lowered Lhe track record at Charlottetown to 2.1011.

Jimmie has in his stable getting ready for campaigning this season Patrick Direct 2.07%, holder of the Montague track pacing record, Quaker Girl 2.13 and Holly Brltton, now a four-yeur-old. Holly Brltton has been changed over to the trot and likes her new way oi going very much indeed.

In tho letter Jimmie refers Lo Johnny Conroy and says that he ls in to see him every day and wants to be remembered to all the boys on P. E. I. Rumour has it that Johnny will have a fast pacer to

cunpaign this season, negotiations being on with parties in the New

Th8 Austrian trotting season clos- od at Vienna on December 12th and the champion driver of Austria this your is George Wiltshire with 78 wins to his credit.

During the month oi December, 1035, several days homes! racing was held at Rome and Milan, Italy, and it is interesting to notice the names of the American horses rac- ing at these Italian cities, such fam- iliar campaigners as Muscletone 2.02%, Mary Sunshine 2.01%, Calu- met Bldwell 2.04%. Call Money 2.05, etc, are found as winners-

About 785,000 colts were raised 1n the United States in 1934, the larg- est number 1n ten years, an increase of 24% over the 1933 crop, and of 509.’. over the number raised in 1031 --the year of the smallest colt crop this century. An annual crop of slightly more than 000.000 colts — about the number raised in 1035 -- probably will maintain the number of work animals needed in the years to come. Horses and mules on farms at the first of 1035 numbered 16,- 022,000 head, a small decrease from 1934. These figures are token from the U. S. Department of Agriculture report.

In Canada. there is a scarcity of work horses in almost every pro- vince and a. sharp demand with ris- in| prices is evident for the co ‘ yedr. Coincident with conditions in tho United States there was a drop in breeding ior several years and thdn again the drought in the West took its toll of horses. It will prob- lb be several years before the pro- du tion will get back to normal fig- ures. Fox farmers are finding it difficult to get a slrflicient supply of

In Winni- _peg the thermometer has been near- ly fifty degrees below zero and at Lexington, Kentucky, which we as- sociate with pleasant winter train- ing conditions for horsemen, the Blue Grass section has experienced one of the worst spells of weather in its history.

Paul Adams, who raced The Great Guy 2.02%, (now owned by C. M. Alexander, Saint John), so success- fully in 1934, has changed to the runners and is campaigning his stable for E. Arthur Ball, glnss Jar manufacturer, of Muncy, Indiana.

A winter carnival will be held at Midland, Ontario, from February 12th to 15th. An ice tower illumin- fated from the outside will adorn the main corner of the business section.

Lyman G. Dodds, seventy years

driver, died suddenly on January 22nd at Beaver, Pennsylvania. He was driving his horse and took a sudden heart attack.

Twenty years ago last week Chili- coot by San Francisco, with Nat Ray up, established a world's trot- ting record over lee with a. mile in 217%. Chllicoot the next summer raced on the Grand Circuit and was practically an unbeaten trctter. His record on ice remained until 1924 when it'was displaced by the 2.15%: mark of The Yank, owned by the MacKinnon Stables, Charlottetown, record made at Mount. Clements, Michigan, January 20th, 1924.

Dr. M. W. Locke, who treats thou- sands of patients weekly at, Wil- liamsburg, Ontario, by his adjust- ment methods, is an ardent horse- man and has six trottcrs and pacers being prepared by driver J. W.
