He retained a clear mine‘- to the very last and took a great interest in every day evenis From his earliest youth he Ioved horses and in his long career owned many good ones, horses that im- proved the breed and had speed Among those we could mention was the superbly bred Prince Marjor. by the futurity sire ivfoko. __o_- Up until some ten years ago Mr.

Murphy could be seen driving a-,

round the streets and he always

attended the races. He kept well in-i

"timed about horses and could dis- :"ss their breedng, particularly those of the past, in an interesting man- ner. Possessed of a very kindly and ‘riendly nature he naturally at- trzcted people to him and many i-iil miss his cheerful presence here. To his sorrowinlz fnmiiy we extend our deepest sympathy.

Later in the week death singled out another horseman -Dr .1. M. Nicholson of this city. Dr. Nichol- son as a boy loved to be around the horses. It was in the days when Newton Lee, Al Slip and other fem- nus drivers were in their glory and “Jack" loved to watch them train their hose,- after school.

He was a student of breeding also and coud discuss pedi we with the best informed in the land. The Doe- tor wielded a potent pen and could write mcst interestingly on horse topics. There is no doubt that had opportunity Dlacec him on one of the turf journals his name would have shone brightly.

We older horsemen can recall the good ones he owned. such as Ahnont Wilkes, that improved the breed vcsy consLderubIy But the re... star oi them a1. was ta: trotting stal- lon Kaiol, by Kremnn 2 07 1-4. He bought him as a cot from Allen

Without doubt Kalol wruld have lowered the Maritime trotting record hnd he stayed sound. An- other good horse that sired goo-l ones was Acuuiri 2 2,7 1-4. _-o_-

In recent years the Doctor spec- ialized in veterinary dentistry and his services were sought after by horsemen a'il over the province He was also the proprietor of Nichol- son's Condidtion Powder, which is most favorably regarded by fox- men. farmers, stock and poultry rsisers
