me post. with Scott Frost, win- ner last week of the rich Walnut Hall Stud Stake. the heavy fa- lorite. And. one must say. that it was probably the most unlooked for and unexpected championship performance of history. Winning the first mile of the stake in 2.04 2,. in which he turned in the final quarter for trainer-driver Joe O'Brien. 111 a sensational :23 1.. few on hand here Tuesday fig- ured anything out of the ordin- gry would came up in the second heat.

"Once on their way. Houston stone driving Gnlophone, the fast youngster bred and owned by wil- liam T. Maybury of Dexter. Me.. look the field to the first quarter in :29-ii, carried them to the half in :592.(i. and over to the three- qusrters in 1.3043. Here Joe O'- Brien itook out' with Scott Frost. gave the youngster owned by Sol Camp of Shatter. Calif.. his head. -ind set sail. Midway of the stre- Lch it was apparent to the veter- ans with their watches that Scott Frost was approaching the sensa- iional, and at the finish the elec- trical timing clock displayed two- minutes flat. and a roar of applause (lent up from all those on the-. side- lines, with the colt, his trainer- drlrtr. and owner all receiving a tremendous ovation as they came back to enter the winner's circle.

"Trotting has seen many great pcrforliiances down through all those years. but they now must all take a back seat to the mile by the cult Scott Frost. It was just a year ago here at the annual yearling sales. that the youngster was led into the sales ring,-an unbroken colt. one of the consign- ment of Roy Amos of Edinburgh. lnd.. represeor-ting his Frost Hill Farms. He went to the bid of Sol Camp at 53200. which now makes him one of the greatest bargain youngsters the sport has ever pro- duced. He was Winter-trained at Del Mar. Callf., the thoroughbred mile track by the sea, and his mi-ly midsummer training was over the three-quarter mile oval at Ver- min Downs in Central New York. Sent to the races he started win- liilig with his first start. and today lus record stands as winner of 9 of ills 16 starts. second in four and third in one, with winnings of approximately 534,000.

”wltliout the part that New England played in the dramatic mile of Tuesday. there would be no two-minutu trotting champion rl'-slit now. It was all made possible because of Galophone. the son of Bill Gallon 1.501.; and Csraphone by Phonograph 1.5954. from the Maybury stables of Dexter. Me. A winner himself in 2.03193 in mid- season, at Goalicn. N.Y.. he made .1 perfect setting for the record mile by cutting out such a tre- mendous early pace. that first half in 2591.3 doing the trick.

"But the greatest single part of the performance as we view it, was that the two-minute mile came af- ter an opening race mile in 2.04 3.. with a final quarter in :285i. Tile final quarter of the record mile by Scott Frost was trotted in 1291.5. showing the tremendous heart that the youngster from California possesses. Trainer-driv- er Joe O'Brien. who deserves all the credit for Scott Frost, is the youngster who came out of Alber- ton. Prince Edward Island. and got his first twte of 'big league' driving in New England. at Fox- boro's popular Bay State Race- way. where the fans still recall his driving feats of just a few seasons ago.

"Ranking right behind the vic- tory of Scott Frost was that of the handsome aged pacing stal- lion Red Sails. Only a freak in- cident in the racing of the free- for-all pace prevented Red Sails from becoming the fastest racing lancer of all time. At the head of the stretch driven Gene Sears

came on to will his race in 1.58 flat. to become the third fastest race winner among all the pacers. Good Time and Sampson Hanover. both of whom raced in l.579lt. ever turned in a faster race."

We are glad to notice that Marl-

Thanksgiving Day race card at Truro uncovered a number of start- ling surprises. There was great in- terest taken in this meet princi- pally because of the two-mile trot which has been featured there the past three years. There was also a good free for all and other classes that brought some splendid finishes. The first surprise was in Race 1 when the old war horse Carl Frisco 2.02.14. owned by D. S. McKay. Tatamagouche. and dri- ven by D. Plnkney, headed Billy P. G. Parker (Daniels) and five others to the wire in 2.1'i'.i. Then ca.rne the two-mile trot event with seven starters. They included the best performers in Nova Scotia. and Miss Palli and Bud's Echo from P.E.I. Most of the experts fasten- ed their hopes on Pepper Boy, that had been trotting around 2.14. Others fancied Bud's Echo, who has been a consistent winner at Charlottetown, and still others believed, in Mac Fingo. winner of last year's two-mile trot. and then not to be overlooked was Lusty's Queen. However. it was the very much unlooked for Peaceful Pet- er, owned enc. driven by J. E. Washington of Truro. that came first to the wire, with that good trotter Patrick Budlong, owned and driven by George Turner 2. I..usty's Queen (Ripley) 3. MM: Fingo 4. Pepper Boy 5, Miss Paul a, Bud's Echo '1. Time, 2.24. The Maritime record for the two-mile trot is held by Pet Hanover. made at Truro, Oct. 4. 1052. Time. 4.24-is She was owned by H. R. Bevan,

Charlottetown. and driven by James

MacGregor.

Surprise number three was the whining of raoes 6 and 9 by Honors High Jinx (Ripley). owned by Kaiser and Nicholson, Halifax. This 7-year-old pacer is sired by His Honor 1.5971 and has license to be s star. but.at the end of 1953 his record was 2.19. Then he

fell into the hands of the present

owners and trainer and with some

adjustments he has been showing I lot of speed. Our Ittention WI! directed to him early this season by 1 very good judge of speed-H. M. Sweeney of Brldgewater. other placings in this event were. Judge Miller

(Mscbeod) 2-3. Headway (Harrison) 3-2. Gahagen (shew)

4-4. Seven-up Direct (Walker) 5-5. Time. 2.11196, 2.13 -- Just I second slower than his record taken this season. Races 8 and 'l were won by Andy's Right (Carter). owned by Earl Burgess,

Halifax, David G. (MacLeod) 2-2. Texas Girl (Pink-

nay) I-I. uhIy'l Drum (Conroy) 5-3. Tune. 2.169i. 2.1556. Rita Fed- eral, who appears to be consider- ably lmproved as a member of the Harley Harrison stable. Won races 5 and 8, Belwin Budlong (Daniels) 2-7. Signal Boy (Leighton) 3-3. Time. 2.18M. 2209i. The former is a new record for Rita. The above events marked the close of A very successful season at Truro Race- way.

Peaceful Peter is a 7-year-old by the Prince Edward Island sire Watson Peter 2.15'A, dam, Queenie Forbes. and he was bred by John R. Bigger. Tyne Valley, P.E.I. Last season he made six starts. was once second. once third and his winnings were :05. Our congratu- lations to J. E. Washington for the great improvement he has made in his trotter and we hope to see him take. a very much lower mark in 1955.

Leo Praughtls Thanksgiving Day race card at Riverside was greatly enjoyed by hundreds of spectators who attended. The finishes were exceptionally good and every heat was exciting. That good pacer Marion 113.. owned by C. 0. Ellis. O'Leary, and driven by Lorne Kelly. won the feature event with Eva Budlong 2-7, Colonel Budlong 3-2 and Silk Hal 4-4. Time. 2.20. 2.1615.

This was his first start in company.

At Sydney Thanksgiving Day the first race on the program was won by the trotter Jack Chips, owned and driven by Art Kendall. He put up a nice performance.

ing up positions. Approximately one thousand dropped into the Moore sanctuary st Miiltown Cross Their landing splashes oould be heard long before it was bright enough to see them in the air.

Goose hunters had their innings on opening morning. I estimate there were more geese shot on Saturday and Monday than during the entire season last year. I never saw so many geese on the move as there were up till noon. on Saturday. I saw four or five flocks. at least two Just beyond range of sevens and a half, and heard as many more moving up some shallow valley out of eye sight. As usual hunters have different opinions regarding the fatness of geese shot to date . . . they range from thin to medium fat. The consensus of opinion regarding blacks is that they are large and in splendid condition. There were lots of ducks this season. It was not because of any scarcity that some hunters came home empty handed or practically so-the birds didn't hang around all day ask- ing to be shot. They had been primed up weeks before the season and knew where the "better 'oles were" to quote Bruce Bairnsfather of the First Great War fame.

Hungarian partridge are plentiful. Considernbly better than last sea- son in this scribes opinion. I have, found the coveys large, averaging 18, or higher. per covey. Coveys from 22 to 26 are not uncommon. On Monday (Thanksgiving) I re- laxed from the arduous pre-sea- son patrol activity and took things relatively easy. I checked the odd game bag. pump gun. license, etc., but thu could be considered more or less as a side-line. The Thanks- giving holiday comes only once a year and my son and I made up a. twosome. It was good to ramble across sunlit stubble and through alder swales and watch Sambo and Timmy do their stuff.

There was no rush to try for a limit or anything like that. We were easy on ourselves and let the dogs benefit also. Hunting dogs have to work into condition just like prize fighters. It was good on occasion to park the car fac- ing an expanse of sun dimpled blue water and relax to leisurely sip a bottle of pop and let the dogs stretch out for a nap in a sunny spot. Old Samba has a lot of years behind him and his muzzle is graying but the old thinking cap works overtime. He has the Huns and pheasants figured out pretty well and believes in letting his head save his legs. He's it wise old codger and looks me over with a ja-undlced eye when I start giv- ing orders. He acknowledges just one master and when he favours me with a wail-eyed look out of the corner of his eye it means: "Take a jump in the lake chum".

Nearing 5 ociock we had 14 huns two short of our limit. and 3 pheasants-two beautiful cock birds. 11 year old bird and two year old with needle sharp spurs end a heavy bodied adult hen. We debat- ed whether or not we'd try for our limit on Huns and finally decided to head homeward. A few miles along the way and a likely look- ing set-up prompted another try. "Go ahead" I said to my partner. "I'll sit in the car and watch."

Canada Gets

By WILLIAM IIABCOURT Canadian Press Staff Writer UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP)-- Brltain. the United States and France Wednesday backed a Cana- dian plan eimed at narrowing the split between East and West over

world disarmament.

Health Minister Martin outlined the Canadian proposal which calls on the five atomic powers to meet once more in private to iron out differences on 3, world disarma-

ment treaty. Rusela asked for time to study the Canadian resolution. Soviet

delegate Andrei Vlshinsky said his country in principle could not re- act otherwise than favorably to an invitation to co-sponsor the resolu- tlon but a concrete reply would require more time for study.

As a sub-committee of .the UN disarmament commission, the five powers met privately in London

I changed my mind in a hurry. No sooner were the dogs out of the car when a big covey rose clo.-.e beside the load, skimmed over a potato patch and allghted at the edge of a stubble field. At the flush we each picked a bird and watched the remainder of the covey come down a few hundred yards away. They'll keep for all- other tlme. It was a pleasurable clay and I was rather pleased with my shooting. 1 made my first double on pheasants. had two doubles on Huns and patted my- self on the back a few times for my work on singles.

My partner had a rather thought- ful expression on his face as the car purred homeward. I didn't in- terrupt hls train of though but I figured it outy tbusly: "I guess Pop is like Sambo-not through yet by a lotig shot" I've had the Southport farmer feeling the same way - when El doll's sweater would fit and not too snug at that. Speaking of father and son teams on the opening morning brings to mind Allison Owen. Charlotte- town business man and his 11- year-old son John. The youngster bagged 6 big blacks unassisted. For his age he is pretty sharp with a scatter gun-better than many who have been at the game all their lives. As Alexi Weatherble used to say: ”I can trike 'em fly- lng, setting or on the wing”. That. I believe, will be Jolinls motto. Come to think of it I'll have one about John's age to break in next year if I'm spared. I was 11 when I shot my first duck. Its a good feeling to have someone left be- hind to carry on the old tradition.
