Earle Avery. formerly of Wood- stock, who is holder of the track pacing record at Charlottetown of 205': with Bud Wengcr. made in Allt.'usi. 1936, has a mllch more important record to his credit now. On July 7, 1953. he drove Uhlcen Fingo to a track record of 2.03”; for 3-year-old pacing fillies at Roosevelt Raceway and that record still stands. Recently he drove L'hleen Fingo, now con- verted to the trot. to a win in 1045-. which gives her the two- gsit rocord lpace and trot) for Roosevelt Raceway of 4.084s.

Dr. 1.alhl-rln Hcrgami of B0- logna. Italy. who bought Egan Hallover 4. 1.59. winner of the Kentucky Futurity last fall. is a visitor at Roosevelt Raceway. From there he will tour other tracks in an endeavor to pick up some high class ll-otters to bring back to Italy where harness rac- ing is on the up and up.

The first 2-year-old winner of a regular race program in 1955 came up on Tuesday night last week at Magnolia Park when Ab- bey Bay. a colt by Goose Bay LOOK, dam Taurida Abbey, took on a field of aged pscers and beat them with a clocking of 2.11. He is owned and was driven by Lorne Tolhursl. who purchased him at Tattersalls last fall. In- teresting to us is the fact that the 2-year-old Abbey Bay is a full brother to Taurida Bay.

Lorne Tolhlirst is a native of Ontario and was the man who brought Toll Gate 2.00Vi from ob- scurity into undying fame.

A horseman with a well known record pacer came along and said, "Let's have a brush." The grocery boy turn- ed on the steam and left his rival far to the rear before a hundred yards was passed. The

1930 he made It starts. Races were then on the three heat plan and he won every start and took a record of 2.0614. In 1931 he made 13 starts, most of them on the Grand Circuit, and he won all of them except two and in- creased his earnings to 513,947.50 and lowered his record to 2.00114. In 1932 he made 18 starts and met the best of a fast brigade on the Roaring Grand. He won ten of these starts and increased his

Squarebriggs scored on both the head and body. Lafferty got in his best punch in the fifth as he nailed Squsrebrlggs with a solid right on the jaw as the latter moved in.

The fourth round was probably the best of the fight as the big boys let go with some good punch- es. Squarebrlggs landed several rights to the law in the early part, but Lafferty bounced right back to work his way in close dlirlng the closing minutes and score with some good punches.

The various adjlldicnlors agreed that more encouragement should be offered by teachers and parents and of the Festival itself the young people to play or sing. which ever they chose, and then to com- pete in the festival. Of course this is happening and will con- tinue to as long as the festival continues. The Festival has grown by leaps and bounds and now is on par with the Festivals held in larger centres in other parts of Canada and of course the stand- ard is becoming higher.

I've assembled the Nd lull twice this season. Weather con- ditions were unfavorable for trout on both occasions. I landed five trout from 0 to 12 inches on the first try and drew a blank on the second. They say everythins comes to those who wait and I'll surely mg the Jgclppot one of these days. The general trout catch has not been up to standard to date. al- though a few lovely strings of trout have been creeled. They say its better to be born lucky than rich and this applies to trout fishermen in particular.

Trout are unpredictable. The prevailing winds have been northe- Nor'east and cold as ice in the bargain and yet some breath tak- ing catches of trout have been caught . . . trout that are hard to beat during any month of the season. Reports indicate that there is no scarity of trout this spring although many anglers are having poor luck. Once the wea- ther warms up and a few good batches of files and"insects are out a bi! htenlng of the trout pic- ture may be confidently looked for- ward to.

top of two pairs during a ramble across country for a mile and a half. Black ducks have paired off and are on location on every fav- ourable marsh and inland poi- hole. lling-necked ducks are more plentiful and more widely distri- hutcd then ever before. This species of duck is a splendid table bird. It is milder in flavour than the blacks. They are also swift of wing and offer sporty shooting.

Pheasant cocks may be heard crowing every morning in the most unlikely localities and are obviously more plentiful then this time last year. A lot depends upon the breeding season that lies :- head. If the weather is warm and inclined to be dry. at least not above normal rainfall. a top batch is in prospect. If rainfall continues for a week or ten days at a stretch ccompanied by a high. cold wind upland game birds of all species are bound to suf- fer casualtles. No specific reports to date regarding the plentitude of Ruffed grouse but the number of adult birds observed during the latter part of the winter was de- cidedly encouraging. A lot can happen between now and October 1st but at the moment hunters have cause to crack wide smiles.
