Tile celebrated Melbourne Cup, Australia's greatest racing classic. was won by a rank outsider last Tuesday in Rain Bird, actually a twclve to one shot. It was a large field that turned out for a perfect day and Rain Bird ran the two miles in 3241/. seconds. finishing 2'.» lengths ahead oi his nearest competitor. There was a tremend- ous crowd prcseht including 5.000 British and United States sailors and nearly $1,000,000 went through the Pari-mutuals for what the Aussies said was the greatest bat- ting total in their racing history. The purse was 210.000, equivalent to $35,000 in Canadian money.

The first Snowy owl of the eur- rent season was turned in at the Bounty Qffice a few days ago. The specimen was shot at Murray Har- bour last week and was a juven- ile as denoted by the darker :01- ouration. This date is somewhat EH13’ for these nor-them visitors and whether this portends an early 1nd hard winter remains to bc Icon. The Snowy owls are are}; enemies of the Hungarian pan; ildse. They also take a toll of the Ruifed grouse and Ring- ‘necked pheasants, but as both these species of upland game birdg favour the wooded areas during the winter months they are not s0 susceptible to the depredatlons

Some amusing and interesting incidents are coming to light re: the efforts of sportsmen to bring home the bacon in the form oi a pheasant dinner, during the short open season. One Charlottetown sport shakes his head and vows to shoot on sight any Cock pheas- ant he sees between now and Christmas whenever the subject of shooting pheasants is brought u . It appeared that this gunner too his wife along on the opening morning. Driving along an alder bordered secondary dirt road they espied a big Cock pheasant lei:- urexlly filling his crop with gravel fro the roadside. As the car skidded to s stop and the gunner got out and started to unlimber his shooting iron, Mr. Pheasant suddenly remembered pressing bus- iness elsewhere and ducked into the protecting fringe of alders. Nothing d-aunted our Nimrod tore into the bushes in close ursulz, or so he thought. When e was a hundred yards or more inside the thicket there came a wild rooting oi the car horn signalling for his speedy return, The cagey old cock had calmly sauntered back on the roadside aglaisi and resumed his interrupted tanking up on gravel. When our perspir- ing gunner burst out of the alders (yes, reader, you've guessed it) the old Ring-neck slipped in again . this time to stay‘,

Another sport, also from the

city, tells this one on himself. To- ward noon of the last day of the season, he still found himself pheasantless. A friendly farmer was acosted. "Yes", in reply to the query, “there are some pheas- ants hereabouts. I saw a. flock of 6 down the road a half mile a. few days ago. They were opposite so and so's vacant farm. You can see where the house was burned." The car was stopped opposite the vac- cgg. premises and the gunner and his setter walked up the disused driveway. Near a corner where the house formerly stood was a clump of wild rose bushes and an old apple tree. Just the spot where an old Cock might be sunning himself. Sure enough the Setter made game. The sport was all ready with the safety oii when out. walked a dopen big Plymouth Rock rooatca-s. The Setter was young, her first year in the ficld, and finds it hard to understand why domestic poultry shouldn't. be legal game. ,If the roosters had have remained passive all might have been well but one of the number ot ganicky and broke ranks. en e ducked under the line fence and started for home across the field with much flap- ping" of wings and loud squawks. it. was entirely too much for the usually well mannered Better. Disregarding commands she took off in pursuit ~3l1d‘0Bl1Kht the awkward-waited fowl within 20 yards of his own barnyard. Feath- ers flew and the walls were ear- splitting as the dos spurred for d good hold. She secured the desired hold, just as her mister was a scant 20 yards away, and came bounding to meet him with the big bird in her mouth. Alas with so much bird she couldn't see where she was going. It was a head on collision and ended with all three, rooster. Setter and gunner in a lie on the ground with no holds arred. When last seen the sport was headed back to the vacant farm dredging his i108 0h! C01- lar and the rooster was omeward bound on uncertain legs and still squawking his head off. and by this time the farmer's do! was addlol his voice to the din. The farm- er's wife must have been in the potato field, otherwise our sport- minded friend would have otteri an carful. Pheasant hunting not all sunshine. ‘
