And. now we hear from one of our oldest friends, Alfred E. Quartermain of Newcastle, N.'B., whose career with the raoe horses started well previous to 1910 and who has never lost his interest in "I am writing you a few lines to go along with my proxy,

“There is a matter I would like to bring to your attention and 1t is about that great horse Single t G. 1.59 1-2. I have read on dif- t ferent occasions that he was bred and raised by William Barefoot of Cambridge City, Indiana. I was in Indiana with Tommy Ray- mond the fall of 1913 buying raoe horses. That was the year that Single G. was cam-paigned as a three-year-old. We were staying with Curt Goslin, who raced Single G., and he Informed ul that Single G. was bred and born in the owners-hip of Lawrence Commons of Ruslrville, Indiana, then passed on to W. G. Barefoot as a suckling. H Perhaps you can find the correct information about the ownership of this wonderful horse as a baby colt."

Yes, old friend, we can fix you up: Single G. was foaled in 1910 and bred in partnership of W. B. , Barefoot, Camlbridge City, and L. Converse, 1n- diiana, Mr. Barefoot owning his dam, Little Gyp and Mr. Commons €€ sire, Anderson Wilkes 2.21 1-4.

e following winter Commons died and to close the partnership Single G. in March, 1912, was sent to an auction at Cambridge City and bid off by Henry Beard of that city for $275, acting for him- self and W. B. Barefoot. The next winter Beard died and Bare- foot became the sole owner, re- maining so the rest of his life. At the same sale Anderson Wil- kes, the sire, then twenty-eight years old, wa sold for $125. It is noteworthy I'M‘. Anderson Wil- kes was 25 years old when he sired Single G., the “Horse that Time forgot," and probably the greatest race horse the world has ever known.

During that campaign of 1913 as a tha-ee-year-old, in Curt Gos- lin’: hands he took a record of 2.12 1-4 and won $2,375. The next season as a four-year-old he took a record of 2.07 l-4 and won $5,- 630. As a five-year-old he took a record of 2.02 3-4 and won $10,- 425. and in his six year old form

won $6,505. When he was eight years old he took a record of 1.59 1-2 and won $9,200 and as a ten-year-old he stepped in 1.59, won nine races and $7,720 in cash. As a 13-year-old he lowered his record to 1.58 1-2, won eight starts against the fastest pacers in the world and his winnings were $11,810. His second great- est winnings was as a 14-year- old when he cashed in $17,375. His last atart was made as a 16-year- old in 1926. In the years that he was battling for much smaller purses than those of today he won $121,125, stepped 134 heats in 205 or better, 84 in 2.03 or better, . 54 in 2.02 or better and 32 in 2.01 or better, with 12 in 2.00 or better. In addition he paced six exhibi- tion heats, travelled from the At- lantic to the Pacific and was , everywhere an idol of the people.

On the trip that Messrs. Ray- mond ond Quartermain made to Indiana they purchased the blocky built pacer James K. Newbro for Willard Kitchen of Fredericton (the man that built the Murray Harbor railway). He became one of the best pacers In the Mari- times, winning the fast classes at Halifax, Fredericton and other tracks. One race we particularly remember was the Free For All at Halifax, September 16, 1914. James K. Newibro with Tommy Raymond up led all the way, Hilda S. (P. Conroy) 2, Walter J. (Reed- ing) 3, Spooney Boy (Warren) 4,

the sulky suddenly parted In the middle and Tommy went to the ground but managed to atop the horse. Fortunately he was about a length 1n front oif Hilda S. and driver Conroy acted quickly to clear him. Hilda S. went on to win the next three heats and race, Walter J. 2-2-42, Spooney

Well, it. looks like the big Ice Show, which will be held here ut the Oliarlottetoivn Foium on Feli-

ruary 17th and 18th, featuring Barbara Ann Scoot, World's figure skating champion, and some 50 professional skating artists, is be- ing looked for-ward (c with the greatest of interest by both young and old alike. - e c According to the latest report from the Forum management, there has been a complete sellout of the first night's‘ performance, and things are well on the way to ac- complishing the some end in the final night's show. Of course this ts no more than expected. - o o

After all is said and done, who would want to nilss seeing Bar- barn Ann, the girl who took the whole world by storm two years ago by capturing every figure ska‘.- ing honor to be had by one in- dividual, and at. tihe same time endearing herself to everyone who saw her, not only by her skating ability, but with licr charming personaflty and simplicity as well. I I I

As far as this writer's memory is concerned, 1t. will be the first time that. a Vvorldfls Champion in any phase of sport, has ever visit- ed this Province 1n a personal zip- pearance while still at the height of tihelr career. That is in itself something worth looking forward to, and supported by such an out- standing ti-oup 0f skating artists, will be an opportunity [or the Provincial public to witness n show of such outstanding quality to surpass anything of its kind ever sgpged here before. I I I The final game 1n Island Inter- mediate Hockey League play for this week will get underway at the Crystal Arena at Summcrslde tn- night. when the two league entries from that centre, Crystals and R.- C.A.F., will clash in the first. meeting between the two teams this season. I I

The game should be one of pat‘- ticular interest to Summersiile hockey fans, who will be eager to see how the two teams will stack up against one another, although they have a pretty g00d idea of the strength of both. having seen them 1n action against other league entries during the current sched- ule.

I I I It will be a case of a fourth place squad versus the cellar

dwellers, WlI/Il the Crystals gunning for a victory that. can move them into a third place tie with Saint. Dunstans, two points behind sec- ond position Vics, while for R.C.- A.F. It will be a battle for their first victory 1n five starts, that will give them their initial boost in their clLmb up the league lad- der. - o o Although the Crystals are prob- ably the favourites to take to- night's game, the Airforce boys have been steadily improving, and wltlh recenb added strength to their team roster, are not. to be taken lightly, and will very likely make 1t a close contest all the way, and might even bring about. one of the biggest. upsets of the season to date.

What effect. have U. s. tourists on Canada's wildlife resources? At the fourth Dominion-Provincial Tourist Conference held at Ottawa early 1n November, 1949, this ques- tion assumed major importance- The Chief of the wildlife division o! the Federal Resources Depart- ment made 1t appear that killins o; fish ‘and game by anslers wl hunters from the United States 1s a major factor in the disappear- ance of wildlife 1n this country. He urged further restraint on the part

And the underlying reasons for this enforcement and judicial problem are to be found in politics. Too often enforcement officers are chosen for their polit- ical stripe rather than an aptitude for the work. The effect of such a condition upon able and honest. uwirdens is easy to visualize.
