I noticed in your column last week you men- tioned Mr. Annett from Gaspe. I raced there last fall and he start- ed the horses and did a grand Job. although he was under quite a handicap at that time. They had a Gate end we went away with only one recall during the after- noon. My Dad la in Woodstock training horses this summer and stzeems Just as young and spry as e r.

"And now here is some home new! . . . Harold Hanna is train- ing a green trotter here called lma C. Guy. She is owned by Vernon Irving. Shedisc. and l be- lieve she was purchased in P. E. 1. two years ago. She is doing nice- ly. Lady Dillinger. owned by Vince Jenkins, is being trained after an absence from the track of several years. during which she raised several colts. She is taken care of by Archie Cripps and giv- en her training in the evenings by her owner. who understands horses having been with Henry Dewitt two years ago. Frank Burns has an excellent prospect in the four- year-old gelding Gouvernor Lee by Corporal Lee. He made a couple of starts last season and acquitted hlrrself well for a three-year-old. He is a full brother to a pacer with a record of 2.09 and looks like a real prospect for the SL000 stake here July lst. Glen Jenkins. well known through- out the Marltimel. is training two for Al Nakpe. They are Eddy Scott 2.04 1-4 and Vol Flngo.

"My stable consists of a year- ling by Federal.outofDiana Grat- tan. that we are turning out this week, also Arleen's Money by Real Money, owned by Skipper Quartermain. She is in foal to Pagllacci. She is a four-year-old and we plan to train her next season and believe she will be real good. I also have three horses for James Watt, Chandler. Que.. Single Annie is a five-year- old green ti-otter out of Teetonty 2.11 by Single G. Her sire is Sam Hanover 2.07 1-2.

He is a nicely built stallion with per- fect manners and his dam is Miss Peggy Jane by Scotland. He is eligible to the 2.20 class and won at Maywood Park two weeks ago in 2.11 1-3." . . . Thanks. Wibb, for remembering us and we hope that you. Glen Jenkins and all others at Chatham will have an excellent season. We think you are very fortunate in having Abbeland in your stable.

Amos and Alyre Gallant. pro- prietors of Park View Raceway, are planning great things for this season. They have put their track in order and have made many other improvements that will make their splendid raceway still more popular. Stabled there at present is the Cyril Smith string with Abegweit Milady, Billy Au- brey. Jimmie Clegg and Buddy Clegg. also the four-year-old pacer Audrey T. Clegg. owned by Amos' son George Gallant, and Peter Clcgg. owned by Edmund Gallant, Oyster Bed Bridge. Quite a num- ber of other horses are training over the oval and everyone is look- ing forward to the circuit meet date July l2th.

Rob Ryan, Houlton. Maine, is racing at Roosevelt Raceway. A few nights ago Colonel Dan was second in a SL250 dash won by Anna Belle Seniah in 2.07 2-5 and Bob won a 51.500 dash with Frisky Day in 2.08. Earle Avery is racing at Rosecroft Raceway, -Maryland, snd is getting a good share of the money. He was first with the three-year-old Sarah's Comet in 2.11 l-5. second with Major Hal in two dashes. second with Jackson Dale, second with Dean Toddler and won a lot of other placings in the first sum- marics released. His two-year-old by Calumet Fingo won the Two Year Old Pace there in 2.l.'i 1-5 and had won previously in 2.10 2-5. The l-iarness Horse states: "Earle Avery has several speedy C. T. Black Home-breds with Champion Fingo right now getting the call on future possibilities." It looks as though Calumet Fingo is on his way to becoming a noted sire. Wendell Wathan is also racing at Eosecroft and has won races and places there.

Charlie Willis is spending a lot of money on his Raceway this spring. widening the track, parti- cularly the first turn and making other improvements that will add to the popularity of the Parlor Track. Quite a number of horses are being trained over it and Charlie is high on Feather Duster

th: opcning quarter was blitzcd in 27 1-5. Thus the amazing turf career of this gallant trotting mare, voted second to Greyhound in the recent mid-century Mon- arch'a Poll. continues on her up- wards stride. Her earnings now are at the 3163.579 mark.

Yonkers Raceway. the newest night racing plant in the United States. which had an ntt -' of 27.054 race fans on May 20th. has been the first track in the United States to announce an in- surance plan free of cost to the drivers, where drivers are insur. ed once they enter the paddock. in the Maritimes the drivers in- surance fund is collected and very gladly contributed to by owners. This is certainly a forward step and no doubt other tracks else- where will folow with it.

Quite a number of horsemen will remember the visit here in May, 1930. of J. S. Coaies, the world famous track builder of Goshen, New York. Mr. Coaics was then Tl years of age and most of us thought he was pretty well at the end of his track building ac- tivities. but not so. He has built most of the night racing plants constructed in the past fcw years including Yonkers. and right now is building Thorncllffe track, near Toronto, in fact he has it about completed but as soon as it is finished he will build a half-mile training track on the same grounds. These will dovetail into cach other in some manner which will -case the cost. of construction. Mr. Coates has passed the age of til. it. is the twenty-eighth track he has constructed.

Snort Echoes From Prince County

The first round of the Island Baseball League is over. The two

Summerside teams have drawn first

biood, but. the scores have been close enough to make it look as if we are in for an exciting baseball season. There were a few surprises in the first two games of league play. Bill Davis's two-hit pitching was one of them. Nobody had any idea Bill was any great shakes as a pitcher. A first baseman and out- fielder were the specifications that came along with him. . . .

Jack Murphy's fine effort against the Falcons was mildly surprising. Jack has turned in some gilt edged pitching shores before. He's turned in the other kind too, how- ever. Maybe Morph will be Scotch with hits all this year, and we'd be glad to see things turn out that way.

with all due respects to the prowess of our pitchers, however. it must be admitted that this isn1 telling the whole story. The boys with the shiilelahs better stop us- ing them as if they were fcathcr dustcrs. They'd better get them- selves some batting cages and get a lot of practice at swinging biudgeon. seventeen hits divided among four teams gives them an BVefB8e of 425 hits per team, and

Thus five pairs will purchase a

Just who will win the automatic shotgun is anybody's guess at pre- sent. Just one thing is certain . . . it will be won by someone with at least seventy-five crows to their credit. One has to shoe: or trap the aforementioned number be- fore becoming eligible for the grand prize. it wouldn't do to have a sll0.00 shotgun given away for a mere twenty-five or thirty pairs of feel. Many of the contestants have eased up in their crow shooting efforts during the rush of spring cropping but may be depended upon to get into the swing again once the crop is in.

. . .

The contest ends on July 15th but it would be advisable to join the Game Association before the dead line gets too close. Sup- posing one was unable to garner seventy-five crows and was auto- matically out on the grand Pro- vincial prize there is still one of the three County prizes to win to which no strings are attached. Crows are very plentiful this summer and questing gunners should have no dearth of targets. lt will be interesting to know. when the contest is over. who won the automatic and which County he is from and incidentally how many pairs of crows feet it took to bring home the bacon. I have a number of crow shooters under observation who are running up some good scores but when the final count is made it is quite pos- sible some dark horse will be the winner. As the shoot progresses I note that all those in the high bracket have gotten very mum on the subject of how many crows they have shot. This is one time it doesn't pay to advertise. I can well imagine that as the time limit narrows down to the last few days the excitement will rival an elec- tion. .

A few evenings ago Messrs. Webster and Moshcr called and bid me a temporary good-by. They were all packed and were moving to the western section of the Pro- vince. I said to the boys: "Heller
