in these notes on the death of George Starr, ago 93, who passed away at Loutsvile. Kentucky, Au-z- ust 28th. Starr became early nt- tracted in horses, as did his broth- er Frank, and not onlv raced in the United States but also in Eur- ope. He was one of the most suc- cessful men ever connected u'l‘.h the sport. His first employer was the latte W. H, Dobic. whose son Budd drove Nancy Hanks to a world's trotting record of 2.04% in i002. Other peo le for whom Starr trained include Monroe Sallsbun". who was given the sobriquet of "Klhgmaker" because of the many horses which he brought out and raced as winners or record break- ers. Starr also trained and raced horses for William Simpson, own- er of the famous stallions McKin- ri and Axworthy for which he pad over $70,000. -_.s).._.

The high point in his career was the lowering of the world's record for pscere with Direct. when he raced in 2.06 trotting to beat the record of Johnston 2.06% that stood for seven years. Later Direct reduced his record to 2.05% for Starr. was in 180i when he was training for Salisbury whom he persuaded to allow him to work Direct as s. pacer after he had gone lame as a trotter. It is prob- ebly safe to credit Starr with the starting of the Direct family of pacers which included Napoleon Direct 1.50%, sire of Billy Direct 4, 1.85, now the world's champion harness horse.

Starr's success with trotter: and pacers was so phenomenal and he was so versatile that his name will so down in harness horse records for all time. He rode Johnston to a record of 2.13% under saddle and he set a (pole team record of 2.14% with Gol Leaf and Bally Simmons. Sally later became famous as the dam of the world's champion race trotter Hamburg B 3.0 which made her record in a race beating the great Uhlan, later the world's champion trotter. ssting to Islanders is the fact that

The battle of the pheasants is over. st least Will be when this appears in print. As predicted the casualties have been light, even lighter than this scribe anticipat- eo. Despite the fact that hun- dreds of gunners were out seek- ing a pheasant dinner the num- ber of Cock birds reported bag-

niglit) is slightly under 00. With one more day to go and with some 51ml Probably unreported to date _l_t is possible the total kill will reach the 100 mark, O l U

Considering the number of gun- ners out and the number oi pheasants present in some dis- tricts the percentsge of cocks shot will not make any appreci- able difference iri their numeri_ cs1 superiority over the hens. T0 date no banded birds have been reported shot. A year ago this fell approximately 60 banded cock pheasant-s were released in dif. ferent parts of the province. They were given their liberty, along with a somewhat greater number of hfil, It Rosesieath, Montague, Wfilt Rlvolfl. Milton and Suffolk. So far Just one of those banded cock birds have been reported and it was killed by a car at Brackley Beach early this fall and the band turned in .. to the Charlotte- town detachment of the R. C, M. P. Providing the released pheas- ants survived the winter the bulk of them are still at la e. All told 126 pheasants of bogi sexes were released in the early fall of 1944- _Thoy “we the result of an experiment of the P. E. I. Fish and Game Protection Association to hatch pheasant eggs incu- bators and raising the cks to maturity before releasing then. The heavy mortality among the chicks hatched combined with a low fertility in the eggs showed that this method was unfeasible due to excessive cost. I O O

The relatively low kill during the five-day open season is not surprising to any who have made a study of the pheasant. The old Cock Ring-neck is a wily bird. He can practically read ohe's mind and has the uncanny knack of

bcurlng evil thoughts toward him. Gunners who started out on the opening morning feeling sorry for the Old Ring-Necks and almost dreading the walk back to their cars carrying the limit of five on their backs (they weigh between 3 and 4 pounds each) wound up by feeling sorry for themselves. l O O

Natural conditions in this prov- ince are not conducive to heavy bags of pheasants. There are too many convenient wooded covers close to hand. As mentioned earl- ier the pheasant believes in run- hing and he can run a lot. faster than a man. When lie sees danger approaching he simply dilcm his.

or her, head and heads for the nearest heavy cover, a uoccliot preferred, and when he reaches 1t keeps on running. H; doesn't
