Tuesday. we asked We about Meadow Pace, a 3-year-old by Adios. that was sensational as a 2-year- old last yes: winning 842.600- Claude said he had shoulder lame- ness early in the season and they had to go along very carefully with him but before he left Vernon Downs he had worked him in 2.05. and Joe expected to start him shortly. since speaking to Claude we notice where he started at DuQuoln on muddy and won the 313,984 Matron stake for 5-year- old pacers, both heats in 1.59 U5. so Joe will havehto make a choice of whether to drive him or Diamond I-Ial 1.519 H5 in the 567,000 Little lnrglwn Jug at Delaware, September 'I .

Joe's stable in Claude's opinion, will reach its zenith at Lexington and will continue good for the Cell- fomis. meet which follows, and that is no doubt where Mr. Camp would like to have it shine in all its bril- liance. Mr. Camp was very anxious to retain Clsude's services, offering him a beautiful home, air-condit- ioned, and the management of his big breeding farm. It is Mr. Camp's intention to build a new breeding farm with a five-eighths mile track equal to anything in the world. His ambition is to bring the breeding of race horses and racing in Cali- fornia back to the days of Senator Stanford, when the fastest trotters in the world were sent forth year after year from that nursery. While we were all proud to see Claude given such recognition yet we, like others, are prouder still to have him come back and live with us.

Pronto Don, that won practically every big purse trotting race last season and has been such a disap- pointment this year, made a come- back at Roosevelt Raceway in the Invitational Trot, purse 815,000. Sec- ond to him was Lord Stewart and third that remarkable trotter Katie Key by Long Key. The time for the mile was 2.00 225 and the mile and one-sixteenth, 210 N5, which is a new world's record for that distance.

Chris O'Donnell, who is an ex- cellent sportsman, was no doubt pleased when he recrived the news that Bay State Pat paced in 2.10- the fastest mile paced at Old Home Week. Chris was prepared to give him away a year ago but one horse is nothing to Chris as he has a highclass stable and last week at Foxboro, Bay State Tom by Volstadt (the same sire as Bay State Pat's) won the 85,000 Invitational one mile dash and trphy in 2.05 flat from six fast free-for-allers. one of the horses in the Invitational Pace that finished third was Patrick Prim- rose, owned by Walter S. Found. Merced, California. Dannie Steele was also a winner at Foxbom re- cently with Arch's Easy Flo, time, 2.12.

What is considered the fastest gray pacer in the history of har- ness racing is Bobby Swift that won at Vernon Downs recently in 2.00 2x5. one of the greatest gray paoers that ever lived was The Eel 202 N4, Canadinn bred that raced against the best in the world in his day.

Roach Macciregor left Tuesday morning for Quebec City where he will race the Andrew Perry stable whsisting of Jo-Jo spenoer 2.10, Bay State Pat 2.10, 'Yuta 2.10 4'6 and the 4-year-old trotter Winni- fred G. 2.18 2f5...William Bate- man, who has been in the Char- lottetown Hospital undergoing treatment, is now out and around and given a warm welcome by his many friends. Billy is a great horse lover and was caretaker and as- sistant trainer in the years ago for some of the best performers racing then. He has never lost that in- terest 'and we hope that he will be spared many years to enjoy the sport.

Fall fairs are on this week at Truro Raceway and Saint John Raceway and next week Fredericton Exhibition opens on Monday, Sept. 6th with a Junior Free For All and on Thursday there is a Free For All and on the 11th another racing program. There will be a total of 24 dashes. . ..

Dr. Edward G. MoQuald of Bal- timore, Maryland, a. valued reader of this column, remembers us with one of the best photo-finishes we have ever seen. It was taken at Roosevelt Raceway and five horses are practically just noses apart. The Doctor writes: "I have read your column for years and enioy it so much and 1 see in memory such drivers as P. S. Brown, Henry Hooper, George Reddin, Hammond Kelly, Mac Steele and others, also Billy Brown, the efficient and courteous clerk of the course, that have passed on."

Here are summaries of races held this week in the Maritimes...

This is s. new record for Ann's Dream, who has certainly turned out to be a real top pacer in de- feating such a formidable lLst of free-for-allers. About a week ago Suffolk Chief, 4-yea:-old pacer own- ed by Cmdr. George Buntain, was second in a very close finish over Moncton Raceway in 212 2x5 and you will note that he was second in faster time in the 7th race Wed- nesday.

The guy didn't have to answer for at that moment the head and neck of a black duck flopped out of the sweater and hung there lim-ply in mute con- demnation of his act. The fisher- man didn't waste words but told him bluntly he was reporting him

In due course I called on the 15-year-old poacher. I thought rather wimsically how time rolls around and it seemed almost like yesterday, although it was 24 years ago, that I was on the trail of his grandfather. It was a bitter March day with sleet stinging one's face and the eerie notes of spring wild- geese coming in broken cadence downwind. My quarry eluded me as I balked at asking Prince, my black western percheroh. to swim the Black Bush channel. That would have been sheer suicide for both of us. How time flies.

The subject of my visit admit. ted he was expecting trouble. His story in condensed form is as fol- lows: 'Went' over to the sand hills to hunt foxes. saw this duck sit- ting by the edge of the pond. It was small . . . don't know whether it could fly or not. shot it. and took it home and gave it to the cat". I asked him why he wrap- ped it up in his sweater. No answ- .:.:..;..;j.

or. He had the answers in Court. He gave as his reasons for shoot- ing the duck that it was wound- ed and in bad shape so he put it out of its misery. He also done an- other good turn for his cat . . . it had I good dinner.

Asked why he went to the trouble of wrapping it in his sweat- " he replied that it was very hot and he took his sweater off and it was easier to carry them both 7-0- gether.

Many broods of ducks are still in the "flapper" stage, especially the late batches. and if I duck cannot fly it's no sign that it was wounded. Quite a few complaints are being received regarding the shooting at ducks. Shots are heard by anglers and farmers in the ear- ly dawn and late dusk and ducks observed in hurried flight. Ducks have been seen in night with D leg hanging. The open season is over a month distant so what will hunting conditions be on many ducking grounds on October 9 . . . Not hard to guess.

Anglers are along marsh and streamside from dawning till dark and some I know have definite evidence to impart but are with- holding it. They lack the intestinal fortitude of the fisherman in ques- tion. If there were a few more like him poaching conditions would improve . . . and fast.

After all, fellows, the gunner who opens his own season in Aug- ust, shoots till the opening day and then hangs his gun on the rack. is sabotaging your sport 60 why cover up for him? Why grouse and complain about the blinds you find and the empty shotgun shells kicking around your favourite shooting spot when the day breaks on the opening?

You hold the key that will solve

the problem . . . remember that.
