white scimitar and that was that When the owl carried off its prey the covey broke i a flurry of dis- placed snow and headed for R dense swamp. They have been seen to fly headlong into a grain st.a.c'.: burying themselves deep in the sheaf butts to escape the white killer. One evening a farmer stand- mg by the open barn-floor door has amazed to see a Hun whiz past him and seek shelter in the hay he )VAd just forked down from the loft. He knew the cause when a big white owl put on the brakes almost in ills face.

The Goshawk (I-Ien'hawk to most) can fly down a Hun if he has 100 yards to go. One Sunday evening years ago I was sitting in an old building watching four Huns feed- ing among some weed tips about :50 yards distant. Time mid Janu- ary. I was there watching. for some shots had been fired at a covey in the area the previous Sunday 'even- in: I took my eyes off them for a

moment and when I looked again all four birds were in the air and go- ing a streak two in one direction and two the other. It was then I. realized that one of the flying birds was a Goshawik. The chase was short. 1-Is closed swiftly and struck the speeding Hun in mid-sir about 100 yards from the point of take off. The bird landed on the snow and. started fluttering but the hawk was on it in s twinkling moment. I

' watched helplemly as it stood; on

the doomed partridge and worked its needle point talons, with a rock-

. lng motion, deep into its body. The

hawk can-ied its prey to the edge of a. nearby swamp and started to

' pluck it. I walked two miles for a

steel trap and came back as 9. win- ter night blotted out the landscape and frost crystals made my face tingle. All I found was a circle of fluffy feathers. The meal had been eaten deeper in the swamp and I had no chance to set a trap in case the killer came back for what was left the next morning. A farmer told me once he.watched a Gos- hawk skimming low over the snow to where a covey of I-Iuns were peckingion a pile of manure. They made no move to fly but just flat- tend into the pile each one hoping it would be missed. When the hawk choose the one he wanted the rest of the covey flew into the woods. Luckily I have s :n no Snowy owls this winter and none have been re- ported. We have some Gosha-wks floating around however and if any hunters see one do not miss an op- portu-nity to make a..shot count. Like some two legged hunters, with- out wings, that I know they recog- nize no close season.

Recently I hlave'-heard a number of farmer hunters suggesting that the time is here when we should have separate hunting and fishing licenses, An angling license as is that exempts farmers and com- mercial fishermen and a hunting license for everyone excepting, that farmers may hunt on their own property without requiring to pur- chase a license. My definition of a farther hunting on his own,proper- ty gives him conslderslble leeway. For instance if a farmer follows a covey over his line fence on to his neighbors land he would still be exempt. so long as he used 'sh-ank's mare' he'd be safe but if drove around the country in a car hunt- ing game he'd be required to pur- ohrise a hunting license.

The farmers who do not hunt need not give this idea. a thought . . . it whl not interfere with them in any way . . . but if any farmer hunter objects to this suggestion let ilim write to the Department of In- dustry and Natural Resources un- der whose jurisdiction fish and

game matters are administered and state his objections. If a. farmer hunter takes no stand one way or the other it is presumed he is ag- reeable to the new regulation corn- lng into effect. This past dry sum- mer has made many farmers water conscious. The beat anvtfddts for 9. dry season is dams, dams and more dams and we can't have them with- out money and we need

members and said he would con- tinue as before in doing all he could to further the best interests of harness racing.

Director J.. H. Dewitt was in- iroduced as not only a successful business man but a very success- ful trainer and driver of race horses. He had purchased June Morning. a good pacing mare, had given her a record below 2.10 and sold her for a sum in the vicinity of 55,000 and she later took a record of 2.04 3l5, the fastest rnlle ever paced by a Marl- iime bred mare. Later he bought an Abner T. Clcgg two-year-old gelding Mr. McGee on Prince Ed- ward lsland, developed lt.,as a three-year-old so nicely that he sold it for a big figure and last year took a record of 2.10. There could be other skill as a trainer and driver but apart from that highly regarded for his fairness. his amiabllliy and his sportsman- ship.

the introduction afternoon.

An then came of the speaker of the John Dqchahne. The chairman said that while Mr. Ducharme was a young man he had acquir- ed a good education, successfully passed his law examinations, serv- ed his country ln the armed for- ces, had learned to train horses on the side and because of his interest in the sport had Joined up with the U.S.T.A. He has been if good acquisition and wherever he goes is well liked because of his pleasing personality and his easy way of expressing himself. He was glad to introduce him to Maritime horsemen, whom he felt sure would give him a good re- ceptlon and they certainly did. After cracking a joke and putting everyone in good humor ho settled down to explain some of the new rules that had been passed at the annual meeting ill December. Then the questions started to -fly and he was kept busy answering them.

In the audience were some pretty smart horsemen who have the Rule Book down almost as pat as the makers and it. took all Mr. DuChurme'll skill and knowledge to cope with them. At the same time everyone enjoy- ed it and as soon as one problem was disposed of another came up. Among the things the Maritime: would like to have to suit their particular convenience was more opportunities for horses over fif- teen years of age to race, al- though the new rules do give them much more scope than pre- viously. Other proposals were made by some of the track mem- bers and it is understood that tliey.wlll submit them in writing to the U.S.T.A.

Among those who spoke were race secretary Frank Acorn of Charlottetown, Cecil Alexander. Saint John, Colonel J. A. Calkln, Woodstock, Clifford MacDonald, Charlottetown. Ferglo Baxter, Halifax, Marshall Govang, Saint John, George B. Gay, Moncton, John Scott, Halifax, Kenneth Mac- Dougall, Sydney. Dr. F. C. Dou- gan stated that Ohio (District 1) of the U.S.T.A., presents the fol- lowing ithree awards annually- 1. A plaque to the leading driver of the year with regard to money- wlnnings. Driver must be a resi- dent..of Ohio but his money may- be earned anywhere. 2. A plaque to the leading driver with regard to races (dashes) wcn.' Must be Ohio resident but dashes may be won anywhere. 3. Ohio Harness Horse of the Year award. Horse must be owned in Ohio. That is the only requirement. He does not have to be Ohio bred and does not have to race in Ohio. Several weeks prior to the district meet- ing, the U.S.T.A. mail: out ballot: to all district members. On the ballot. which is printed on' a stamped self-addressed card, the member is asked to make a first (5 points), 2nd. (3 points) and 3rd (1 point) -choice. U. S. T. A. then tabulstes and announces the results. This has resulted not only in increased publicity for the sport but also in deserved recog- nition for good horses and horse- men. Dr. Dougan suggested that

it would be a good thing for the Maritimes to adopt it.
