George A. Walker of St. Stephen. N.B., who is considered a good judge of speed, was high bidder on Abloway 3. 2.09 US. He is a four-year-old bay horse by King's Counsel 1.58 and his dam is the celebrated race mare and broad mare Edna Brewer 4, 2.00. so his speed inheritance is 1.59. Edna is the clam of four in 2.05 or bet- ter and nine in 2.10. Ableway equalled his record the past sea- son and was third in a photo lin- ish in 20? H5 at Baltimore Race- way. His breeding can be truly described as superb and with his family history he should take a much faster record.

M. G. Wilbur of Monrton was the buyer of Kenneth iIilllt)V0l', a four-year-old chestnut gelding by Castleton Farms premier sire, En- sign Hanover 1.59 U5. His dam is the noted young race mare Adieu 2, 2.04 U2. He had been trained miles in 2.08 and 209.

George A. Walker of St. Stoplieiit was also the high bidder on Not-1, tingham Chuck 2.05. His sire is Frisco Dale 3. 1.59 1x5 and his dam is Emma Stone. dam of sev- en in 2.10. He is eleven years old and during his racing career has won over S'l0,00t). In 1052 he won over 58.000 and was eligible to the 2.16 pace.

The writer was talking to a very well known horseman recently at Columbus, Ohio, and he mentioned Ritakey and said she is a real good race mare and he was sure that the new owner would be pleased with her next season. The tracks that she raced over were not fast and she met with plenty of tough opposition so we believe our friend Percy has purchased a real bargain.

Rncent imports to St. John, N. B. include the following: Kirkpat- rick Bros. are the new owners of the pacer Billie Direct Heir 2.08 M5, by Direct Heir. Last year he was four timcs.first, seven times second and- "seven times third and is a 14-class pac- cr. llarry Macintosh has Golden Amber 2.13 US, a six-year-old horse by Wilmington 1.59 N2. At the end of 1952 he was eligible to the Z3 pace, and looks like a horse that should be good in his class the coming season. Joseph P. Hatty has Scottish Boy 2.01 315, a pacer that should make it inter- ostlng in -the fast classes. Millett Coughlan has the ex-Ontario pacer

Myron .11acArtliiir, Knnsimzton. who usually brings a couple of horses Lack with him after the racing season is over in New Brunswick, this year has Derrick 2.11 2.5, an 11-year-old trottcr by Calumet 1-Eric. He was credited vilth 7 wins, 6 sot-riiids and five thirds in 1952 with Sl0,5D0, and he was eligible to the 2.14 trot.

JANUARY 2, 1954 THE GUARDIAN,

We trust it will give pleasure to our readers and afford a picture of the happenings of the past that many of them have witnessed and which they can recall to memory.

We wish to extend our most grateful thanks to Mr. Rupert Godfrey, proprietor of the Photo Chart System and an expert tech- niclan, whose worth is being rac- ognlzed not only in Canada but in the United States as well. The installation of his system at the wealthy Blue Bonnets Race Track. Montreal, where its -splendid pic- tures are praised to the highest. is another evidenc! of his genius and ability, and he is not resting on his laurels. We predict great- er things for him in the future.

We would also like to say that this Review could not be made posslble but for the co-operation of many race secretaries and oth- er persons who have gone to a lot of trouble to help us.

To all of the abovr and to our reading public we extend our best wishes for a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Fireside Meditations -by Walter Palmer-

Tlie League leading Halifax At- lantics sparked by the outstanding goaltending of Roy 'MacMeekin and a two goal effort by winger Johnny Morrow, skated to a 3-1 victory over the Islanders in a New Year's Day game before 1700 fans at the Forum last night.

The agile MacMeek.in turned aside 36 shots as he came up with a number of saves in the second and third periods that bordered on the miraculous. Almost single- handedly he held the fort in the third frame as the Islanders press- ed intp Halifax territory on at- tack after attack.

The Islanders went into a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal by Claude Robert while Johnny Morrow sat in the penalty box. Morrow atoried for his sins in the middle twenty minutes when he scored twice in sixteen seconds to give the Atlantics their victory. Jean Leclerc scored the insurance tally later in the period.
