trace of fat and their flesh had a strong marshy flavour.

in sharp contrast the geese bag- ged by the writer this fall were in prime flesh and tops as table birds fat and flavoursome. This con- dition also applpd. with one or two exceptions. to geese reported upon by other lucky goose hunters. There was a cause for this gratifying state of affairs. Here in this province we were blessed with a record crcp of all kinds of grains both in respect to kernels and straw.

The 3 day hurricane Just. prior to zemvrnl harvesting operations was the cause of thousands upon thous- ands of heads of plump. well filled wheat oats and barley being left on the ground. This factor contributed towards the lower goose kill this fall. despite the number of birds present. The flocks didn't have to patronize any particular field. If. upon pilot- ing his charges to some particular field. the old gander in charge of the flock didn't like the look of I "stool" of decoys that had been set out in his absence or got suspicious oi certain changes in the landscape. he simply'set his charges down in a neighbouring stubble. In most any field they choose a flock could fill themselves up to the white throat patch in twenty minutes and not have to walk over twenty yards.

Another point in favour of the honkcr is the number of young farm boys, and in many instances the farmers themselves, that have deb velcped a yen for a goose dinner. They kept the flecks on the move with the result they seldom got into the habit of frequenting the same .-tubblc field more then once .. twice at the most. Many a. hopeful group of hunters got set out in a stubble field with decoys all arranged be- fore the first streaks of dawn lightened the east and would then

wait for hours and wonder why the.

geese didn't come for breakfast. La- ter they discovered that some icraw- lcr' had taken a long range shot the evening before.

After alliis said and done it was the natural craftiness of the geese that saved a lot of them from wind- ing up in the roasting pan this past fall. There is no doubt about it but many floclu got wise to the wooden decoys. A set had to be good and arranged properly and the blind axmaslerpiece of camouflage ctherwise it was time wasted and sleep lost. I am referring of course to flocks coming in after daylight. It was easier to fool the flock lead- rr in the half hour proceeding 1 November dawn when the depart- ing night threw a mystic shroud over the landscape and the decoys. is blurred formation in black and -white, were screened from minute inspection by the retreating pre- dawn shadows.

Many wise old genders did not leave the safety of'salt water until day broke sharp and clear. some- times as late as ten or eleven O'clock. Those wise campaigners were content with one fill up on grain. Rather than make a second flight over enemy territory they gleaned a portion of their food from off the eel grass beds. A wild goose fattened on grain and eel grass makes for a table bird par excel- lence. I know whereof I speak. I j:-

weight, and emitting an aroma. tint only such a wild goose can impart. I had I. double thrill from this goose. Once when I picked it out of a flock of appmx. 150 that went out of their way to wing high over the decoys and again when I picked up the carving knife and let my belt out a couple of lotches.

This columnist. hiss over the success of the past goose season. Last year it was one lone honker. For year before that it was zero. This fall it was four with nothing to be desired in respect to their condition all were prime birds.

The Kid and I shot. over our own irigi this fall. It costs money to ac- quire a set-up of decoys that will fool the wise old flock leaders in the clear light of day but it pays off in the end. The size of our bag was limited by the time available. Luck also plays a major part in goose hunting. one may have all the time he desires at his disposrl but if the cards are stacked against him the going is tough.

My partner and I had a thrill on our last morning out that was pot- ent enough to last us out all winter. Imagine three massive squadrons of geese. a full one hundred and fifty birds, sweeping in over the blind from behind in full throated chorus long necks outstretched . powerful black wings beating in unison-broad beamed white breasts clear against a blue sky. the spine tingling suspense of waiting and then the terse command: "Take 'em". .

Caught in the spell of the mom- ent I mlsiudged their height and speed. As I hack-pedalled but of the blind the first squadron was al- ready sweeping over head. I was off balance when the 2nd formation crowded in on the tails of the lat and shot feet behind the goose I picked fer a target. I like to have a few seconds to gel. on an incom- ing shot.

The second barrel got under a noose in the last line as it climbed for altitude on my right. I saw her give a sharp kick but still carrv on ivith the flock without. further outward sign of being in distress. Twenty yeards out she suddenly collapsed in mid-air and came down out of control. As mv brief feeling ni disappointment changed to e'.- nuon 1 happened to glance loward my left rear and spotted a mcund of black and white lying on NIP stubble. In surprise I queried: "Where did that goose come from?" The Kid's face was wreathcd in smiles as he answered: "That's mine. Pop?" Its memories like that which linger on long after onc's hunting days are over.

,.:-m s:-:--::t-T" think there is a finer sporting Hair- ernity anywhere in the world than 1; to be round in P. E. I. I have en- juyed the racing immensely and the night racing at Charlottsinwn is a picture I will carry with me the rest; or my life. I was very much disappointed that the race meet at summerside July 1st was rained out. because I am quite sure it would have been a grand mv:eLin.; ind drawn a large attendance.

"On the 18th of November I at- tended the Duties-in races in Tor- onto. The weather was ideal and the raclng very close even though the time made -was not fast. I felt that at Duiferin track there is a lot more jockeying for l105iU0"-'- in the first half of the mile races and then they see where the contend- ing horses are and they alone feem to fight it out in the finish. Ihat kind of racing reminds me very much "of bicycle racing which is jockeying for positions and then I lively sprint by two lnrllviduals to see who the winner is, To get away; from this they finally had to give prizes for each lap or for the fast- est iap in the race. '

I enclose soTm-e-results of the lugs .nd a. photo showing Pm- jectiie winning in a photo finish. It certainly was a close one." '.lhe summaries which our friend Robert has sent us have been carefully looked over and we note among the drivers Mich notahles as Jimmie cruise who has piloted some of the tgataat pacers on the Grand Gir- cuit. also many others whose names are familiar to all of our T8859” Regarding the time made at Tor- onto, it must be remembered that the track is quite heavy and in W fall months often very deep in mud and one can never. twig? the capacity of a trottcr or pacer bv the time he makes in 5! race there. that is not until the track ffegzeg up and gets real hard.

. shall of Urbana. Ohio, while it did not come as a shock to friends and horsemen who knew that his state of health had not been of the best for some time. yet it was to so m3Tl.V I VERY sad happening. Dr. Parshall was born on a farm in Ohio and from his earliest days he was around horses and liked them. At an early age he graduated from a. veterinary school with the idea of practising that vocation but in- stead he took up the training and racing of trotters and pacer.-i and very quickly showed that he had made no mistake in the choice of a calling. He was not long in secur- ing the confidence of men of means and well-bred colts were given him to break. train and race. so that in A few years the harness horse world was aware that a new star in the drivers firmament had arrived.

It. was the era of giants of the sulky -- Walter Cox. Ed Cieers, Tommy Murphy. Lon MacDonald. Sep Palln. Dick McMahon and many others, yet Dr. Parshall se- cured his full mead of victories and commenced in set up world's rec- ords. It was he who gave the some- what notional Jane Amff her rec- ord of l.50',-5 and some time after that she was sold to Charles Hor- tcn of Murray River and placed in the hands nf Willard Kelly. and raced consistently on Maritime tracks for several years. later going into the brood mare ranks. She is the dam. of Wayzoff Cl. 203 M5.

His succoss with coils and the intuition he displayed in picking the good ones is evidenced by the fact that among them we car. le- call Chief Counsel. that he gave a three-year-cld record of 1.573; and Me I Win 3. 1.5054. that. he won 13 heats out of 16 with. Blackstone. ti full brother of Chief Counsel. was given a record of 2.00 as a three- year-old and afterwards a record of l.59'.&. and another full brother King's Counsel. a record of am. Kings Counsel went on to take a record of 158 and is now a success- ful sire. Others that he raced in 2.00 were clever Hanover 1.59”. J.E. Vnnian l.593's: Spinteii L55-H: Fearless Peter 3. 2.00. Lou Hal 2.00. Napoleon Grant 2.00. Singlestinr 2.00 (dam of Little Brown 0. 206 (H5). is total of 13 in the two-min- ute list. In addition he marked 13 in 2.02 or better and R in 2.04 or better.

The past rcuple of years he has been more or less on the sidelines but he did not cease to make selec- tions and at the Indiana State Fair he was back of- Scotch Hal and won with him. It was his only start thir reason. other recent selections that he made were the top three year- olds. Lusiy's Song 3. 2.02. l-Iamble- tcnian stake winner of this year. and world's champion two;-year-old trotter with a record of 202 1'5. and Dudley Hanover 3. 2.00. win- ner of the Little Brown Jug Stake. Dr. Pnrshali was only 52 years of age and is survived b a widow and thrr-e scns. also his parents. Mr and Mrs. Leslie Parshall of Hills- boro. Ohio. a sister and two broth- ers. While not very many of our local horsemen have met the Doc- ton. yet Willard Kelly and others of us who have known irlm more or less intimately. will join with thousands of others in regret at his early passing.
