one mile pace and tlirough the years ehc always got a share of the money. Anyone who handled him considered him one of the most knowing race horses they ever had anything to (ID with. He knew where the wire was and if it was a close finish he would actually stretch out his neck trying to poke his head in first. He was free-legged and didn't wear a check. All his equip- ment consisted of was a pair of .l:nec boots. quarter boots and ilcndon boots. His manners and disposition were perfect and we know that Mr. Buchanan, who is a lover of horses. will be good to him. Tip should add quite a bit to the competition in ice races in New Glasgow and Hunter River this winter.

Lee's ,Nightmare, that took a record of 2.10 U5 and is the dam o fJerry's Nightmare 2.09 three-year-old champion pacer of the Maritimes in 1953 and both owned by Jams O'Brien, Elms- dale, P.E.I., and June Morning. that took a record of 2.04 M5 and is the fastest pacer ever bred in the Maritimes. June was bred by James Power. Charlottetown. and trained. developed and sold by George MacDonald. Mermaid, P. E. 1.
Yesterday we received a wire from S. Thane Belyea. FI'edeIICI:OlI, N. B. as follows: "Phone conver- sation with Hcnry DeWitt this morning. He lost Parker B. through a nail infection in foot. No'insurance." Friends of Henry, and they are legion. will deeply regret this unfortunate happening. Parker B. had he lived, would be six years old in April. He was a brown gelding by Parker S. 2.07 U5. of beautiful conformation, perfectly sound and had excellent manners. Last year he was raced at smaller meetings in Kentucky and elsewhere and took a record of 2.07 and was eligible to the 2.21 pace. The bidding on him at Harrisburg, Pa., sale last fall was very keen and he was finally knocked down to Mr. DeWitt for 53,500. All Henry's friends were delighted that. he had secured such a fast horse with such good manners and were looking for- ward to his having a most; suc- cessful season.
And now we hear from Rannic MacDonald of Sydney. who is at Dufferin track. Toronto, withithe Hirsch stable and other horses. Rennie enclosed a list of the trotter Roll On's starts in 1953. At Vernon Downs he won in 2.05 which is his record. and at Sar- atoga he won in 1.07 and was three times second, one of the heats being in 2.05. At Blue Bon- nets he was five times first with his fastest mile in 208 M5 and was second in 2.07 and second In two other races. 1-le .also had three thirds. Roll On is by that up and coming sire Bombs Away. He was foaled in -1949 and will therefore be five years old this season. His dam is April Kane and his total earnings are 39.- 832.2A. which makes him" eligible to the 16-class in 1954. Rannic plans to lay him off for a couple of weeks. '
So far he has had two wins with Globetrotter. two with June Bee and she paced the second fastest mile on Dufferin track up to January 5th-2.12. Hi-Handy, owned by W. Barry. New York. paced a mile in 2.10 on Saturday afternoon. January 2nd and that is the record for the season so far - - -"The weather is good at present and the track is also in good condition. Every heat is a real horse race with some horses going right to their records. Ohio Hal is racing very good. In five starts he placed 1-3-3-4-2. June Chief in four starts placed 3-3-2-2. Bud Gilmore and Joe Hodgine are the top drivers here and have the best stables. They are quite well out in the lead for points. Floyd Milton also has a good stable for Alex Parsons, London. His best pacer is Top Hot 2.01 25 and he is also the top money win- nor here. The fastest pacers will take part in a 31.000 Free For All here the coming Saturday. It should he a-dandy. I was greatly interested in the write up which you so kindly sent me and 1 think it is fine. Ibelieve the Maritime: will have the heat rac- ing season in 1954 that they have ever had. I wish you would give my kindest regards to everyone down there."
Karl E. Mccully, Truro. NS. is a real horse lover. That is his hobby and this winter he is keep- ing two Marltime breds that each won four dashes in 1953. Lady Ruthie '1'. is a daughter of Abbe Worthy 2.05 and she lowered her record to 2.15 W5 the past season, And Fraser Scott lowered his to 2.18 25. Like the rest of us horsemen no doubt Karl is look- ing forward to their taking much faster marks this season.
The many friends of Bob Ryan in the Maritimes will regret to learn that he inst with an acci- dent the past season and has placed five of his stable on the sales block. Bob. prior to his in- jury. had been heading summaries ill. Roosevelt and Yonkers.
Hi-Lo'I Forbes 1.5. the Horse of the Year. is being advertised for a limited stud season at t1,m0. after which trainer Henry Clukey will prepare him for all the big pacing stakes of 1954.
Hanover Shoe Farms has 12 stallions in service this year. The fees of Nibble Hanover and Hoot Mon have been raised to 32.000 each and Dean Hanover 81.000. With stallion fees and sales of yeerlinss the total take of Han- over Shoe Farms must be close to the million dollar mark. Over s4oo.ooo was realized from the iialo of yearllngs at Harrisburg last fall. '
Bi Shively, the m lshed the harness rid by win- ning the Hambletonlan a few years ago and is now in his 70th year. is gathering a splendid stable at. Del Mar track. Cali- fornia. One of the best liked is the two-year-old. The Executive. by Rodney 1.57 2f dam. The Cat- onel's Lady 1.50 1 2. Both these were trained and raced totheirre- cords by Stilvoly' and last week he bought the pacing star scot- tlsh Chief 1.59 225 from the Saunders Mills staple. Toledo. nun.

Ravens have become very plenti- ful of late years. one i-siely goes for a winter stroll. particularly in the back country. without heat- ing their harsh cioak or seeing one or maybe a hs.lf dozen aim- lessly circling in the sky or cut- ting didoea at tree top level. Two winters ago on a late January afternoon I counted 33 at Mount Albion as they milled in broken formation above ii. spot. where the remains of horses that had been butohered for canning purposes ..

Ravens are not desirable cus- tomers. They are larger and
stronger than the crow, they are first cousins. and have embodied all the crow'.s undesirable habits with a few bad traits thrown in for good measure. The crow may benefit the farmer on occasion but not.,the raven. Years ago in the distant past I often heard my father lament missing opportuni- ty to add a raven to his list of
trophies. The raven is a cegey bird and seldom is lined within range of
a shotgun. They have the faculty of sensing danger Ill advance. at least that is the impression I have gathered. Several years ago I was hunting Huna with a friend along the north end of the Bouris Line Road. We were hunting lei- surely and enjoying the soft October sunshine. Tim-my my aeai browin German short-haireo pointer. was working toward me along the edge of a stubble field bordering the edge of a dense spruce swamp. The dog was about 200 yards distant when I observ- ed a large raven was interested in the pointer. It kept cutting clrclu and each time would swing at the edge of the swamp about 30 yards ahead of the dog. 0 0 C
I moved under the shelter of is large spruce and slipped off the safety of this Winchester doub- bie. When Timmy was approxim-
ately so yards off I stepped outlpelt.
l i
saw me his eyes were on the dog. He most. certainly never now what hit him for the seven and a. half blanketed him from heat to tail.
He glided eartliviard with his wings still outspread and slith- and down the spruce branches to the ground. 1-le was old and wise but in an unguarded moment was caught napping. It was my first opportunity to study a ranch in the hand. He was a rugged brute of a bird graying around the base of a. beak that was as hard and sharp as a pick-axe.
I felt. no particular compunc-1 tion. I thought of the luckless baby rabbits, and some half grown and better. he had torn apart with) his massive dagger like beak; oi the grouse ooveyis he had declin- ated. the robln's nests he had rob- bed ot their young and figurcu it was a shell well expended. 1 gave the specimen to Mr. Caldei our local taxidermist at Charlottc- y town and I believe it is new my be found in the Prince of Walesl College collection of birds native!

Here's a little tip to young trap- pers: I have examined prime muskrnt pelts in fur buying es-l tablishments that were cut to half price and more because they werey carelessly skinned, fleshed and stretched. Some were little more than north end of the Bouris Line patches of hide. Julled over a piece of board. Seek .idvice from older people or trappers and save money.
