gs Nancy Hanks, 2.04, world's re- cold trotting mare and the first li-ctter in the world to beat 2.05. never lost a race in her entire can-er. She is the granddam of Golden, 2.12. '

when Dexter lowered tllc world's record to 2.17% on August 14, 1878, iliibiirt Bonner was so elated that llii sellt out a world-wide telegram ll! tile effect that he had on. that |li\_\‘ seen both Niagara Fill. and IlNlCI‘, and as he could not buy ill!‘ former he had secured the lat- iii: Dexter was never known to nuilu- a break and lived to the age cl iiiirty years.

Prank P. Fox, well known to lo- ffi‘. horsemen, celebrated his eight‘- ii iii birthday on December 12th at IPWlSlIOD, Maine. His condition physically and mentally is nothing inert of marvellous. At the recent Clld Glory sale he purchased six yzsrlings and is now giving them their lessons and will be a busy

‘than training them next summer.

The records show that there have b» en very few nine heat ‘races con- tested, but an exchange says that (it Potsdam, New York, in i892, four horses staged a nine heat battle, liiit one horse succeeded in win- niiig three heats which was then nwiessary to win a race. Little ladle won the three heats and Lora J llyswood and Winnifred two lfilfll.

Jenny 11., 2.05%, one of the piu-iltest race mares ever owned in shine, or in fact all New England, l..:‘(l the past. month. She was raced iiir a considerable time by Billy iii-yes. From i021 to 1928 she start- u. in 77 races, winning 38 firsts, 1b seconds, 10 thirds, 6 fourths and lii iiig out of the money only five llillCS. Her most successful year was i. 192i when she was in the stable o‘ .-\. S. Rodney, including among li l‘ victories the $10,000 pacing IJKE at Windsor, Co., promoted by Allan J, Wilson, formerly of Car- <l._i:-.ill. She was that year the lead- iilu money winning pacer in the NV-V England States.

Jenny H. is a full sister to Hedge- lllllld K., 207-71, raced here this silsoil, and we also think a full sister to King Spruce, 2.11%, for- ‘Wly owned by Wellington Mc- .l\'i-ill. '

Will Flemming, who drovo Mar- giiiet Gratton in 2.05% and has been prominent in the New Eng- lfllld states for several years, has knell up training trotters and fol- Jmlilli: the example 0f Tommy lilllrlllly has gone ovcr to the run- tiers,

trance and starting fee is only $12. This stake is a handicap but the greatest handicap is only twenty- five yards, equivalent to about two seconds.

The seven other races open to American horses are st various dis- itsncu ranging from s. mile and a quarter to l. mile and three-quar- ters. There is no doubt but that the ‘greatest horses in Europe will per- lform at Vincennce.

Vincennee race track is a com-

aritively short distance by motor f m Paris and its grandstarlds are capable of holding over forty thousand people. On Sundays it is not sluprising to see 200,000 people cit the grandstands. The admission for standing room is n. email one, equivalent to about twenty cents our money. There are upwards of fifty ‘pari-mutual machines taking bets as low es five francs, equal to twenty cents. The money bet amounts to s very large sum of which the Government get a royal- ty and the race track a split of same.

That the horso is not losing its popularity in the U. S. A. is shown by the fact thatin a recent issue of an American harness horse pub- lication we counted no less than five tracks which are either under construction or will be built in 1033.

‘The Barre, Mass, fair grounds which have been used for agricul- tural exhibits and horse racing since i865, suffered severe finan- cial losa last year and this year would have been sold and clit up into buildillg lots in order to li- quidate debts contracted, had it not been for the generosity of Arthur P. Felton. Arthur was born in Bar-rs, Mass, and during early youth took an interest in the old track and fair grounds, later going out into the world and making a name for himself and considerable money. Some of the citizens decid- ed to appeal to him and the heart appeal found a ready response. The old grounds will be repaired and lrenewed, and with an endowment rovided will remain in perpetuity

a race track and exhibition center.

The list of new 2.05 pacers in 1932 numbers forty-three and is headed by Mo 1 Win (3) 1.5902. leading race Winning pacer in Am- erica with the exception of Bertha Patch. Other leading race winners were Pcter-at-Law, 2.02%., Star Dhilietine (i) 2.05, Lee Storm. 2.04%, each having won eight vic- tories. Dale Direct, 2.03%, Bonnie Axworthy, 2.0m. and Bernie's Sig- nal, 10251, won seven races.

The following five secured their records over half mile tracks: Calu- met Ado, 2.04%, Star Phillstinc, 2.05, Poinsette, 2.05, My Man, 2.03%, and Miss Volo, 2.05.

The forty-three 2.05 pacers were sired by thirty-three stallions, sev- en of these being credited with two or more members. Abbedale, 2.01%, loads with five. Peter Scott, Napol- eon Direct, Belwin, Peter the Brew- er and Peter Volo each have two.

The forty-three plwers were driven by thirty-eight different drivers and four drivers each drove two of them. The four being H. M. Per-shall, Harry Brusie, Homer Walton and Fred Egan, Parshail being the driver of Mc I Win.

During the season Just closed there were three additions to the two minute pacing list as follows: Oold Cash, 1.59%, Calumet Adam, 1.59%, Zombro Hanover, 2.00, whilc the following were close up: Rose Mane Abbe, 2.00%, Hollyway, 2.01, loyal Cliff, 2.01%, Calumet Brownie, 2.01%, Miss Kitty, 2.01%". Guy the Tramp, 2.02, Pegasus Pointer. 2.02%.

Calumet Brcurnie mentioned above, was recently purchased by Mrs. Charles Ballard, North Syd- ney, N. S., and will be raced by Bvllly liood in 1933. '

Guy the Tramp is a Canadian horse, while Miss Kitty wu driv- en by a Canadian, Vic Flemming.

A great many horses are being shipped to Florida for winter train- ing. Among the stables that have gonc down there recently is that of Ben White with fourteen head, mostly yearlings. ~

The Marchioness (3) 1.59%, re- cently exported to Europe will make her first start on a European race track on December 15th.

The following odds ‘and ends of interest are taken from the Ameri- can Sportsman?

Hal Mahone 2.01 raced eleven years, participated in 117 events, and was only six times unplaced.

Lana Moko 2.09%, leads the fast record lrotters with regard to races engaged in during a single season as in 1017 Bert Lamport started her in 35 events, winning l3, was second in 8, third in 4 and fourth in 5. Furthermore during her eight campaigns she took part in 145 races, an average of over 18 a sea- son, which likewise stands un-. equalled.

In 1807 four pacers were tied for world's record honors for three- year-old pacers, the quartette be- ing made up of Searchlight, Judge Hurt, Agitato and Sulphide, their records being 2.09%.

The Ilanadian .p:tcing mare, Nelly Bruce 2.10%, was undefeated in 189B. Sic started on her long campaign early in her home land and closed activities at Lexington; Ky, at which point she won her 15th consecutive start from a field of l5 in the 2.15 class event.

Single G. 1.58%, won more races than any other horse, our statistics crediting llim with 99 victories in 154 starts. Unfortunately, one of his Grand Circuit successes never appeared in the official Year Book, hence the other publications not maintaining n statistical depart- ment fail to give him due credit.

There are eighteen two-minute trotters and they were produced by fourteen mares. Miss Brtha Dillon 2.0285, is crdited with three, Roya NfcKinllcy 2.07%, with two, and hfnl-gnret Arion (3) 2.10%. with two. The eighteen are by ten dif- ferent r-irce, Peter Volo 2.02, lead- ing with five and Guy Axworthy 2.08%, ranking next with four.

willie we are not in position to name the largest field which evcr turned around in a rnce, there ‘was one particular event at Galesburg, 111., brick in 1804 in which Grover Clcvclmld won in straight heats and twenty-seven participants fin- ished the first heat. That number makes quite a "track full,” and what is lllorc unusual is that not a horse W115 distanced in the opening mile.

our records, was the oldest per- former ever to enter the 2.10 list. This Buckeye State product. which was fooled in 1909, secured a record of 2.12% at the Ohio State Ifair in 1015, and twelve years later, when eighteen, lowered it to 2.10.

Nora Lee 2.29%, by Woodford Mambrlno, 2.21%, is according to our data the oldest trotting mare ever to secure a stand d record, she being eighteen when she enter- ed the list. Her sire died thirteen years prior

March 30, 1870.

Wc can cite two particular races in which no dead heats occurred yet in which seven different horses were heat winners; and the rc- markable feature connected with

one event was that it was for three. _ ycar-olds. In the other race one

flhnadian Press) , HALIFAX, Dec. 16. -- Flashing Fir best form of the season, Hali- f Wolverines tonight whitewashed oncton Hawks, 4-0, and moved up a P98 in the Maritime Hockey Lea- sue. Hawks and Charlottetown Abegweits, with nine points each, are tied for leadership. Wolverines 110W hive 51X points to their credit. The majority of U10 eleven penal- ties doled out to the Moncton gang proved costly. Taking advantage of a weakened lineup, in the second period, Wolverines tossed two wcli drilled counters by blonde Jimmy Foster nine seconds apart, added a. third on an end to end dash by 5°74“ K611119115’ in the next period and completed the route with Vince

only five minutes of playing time remaining. ' Press To The Last.

Despite the fact that the Wolver- ines were playing their fourth con- secutive league game, the locals out» sped the visitors from start to fin- ish. The Hawks were wobbling at the finish, while the Wolves were breezing around looking for more scores as the final gong claliged.

1t was while the teams were jockeying about looking ' for an opening in the initial period and halfway through second verse that goalie Leo Sargeant rose to dizzy heights. Several times in the first chukker and on other occasions in the middle canto the Hawks shed

This meant that both teams were weakened most of the time and unwilling to leave openings for scores, played the rawest kind of defensive hockey to while away the llilnules.

Play in the opening period was rugged generally. The Hawks had a couple of fine scoring chances as they skated atop of Sargent, but the local janitor managed tojlt a stick, a legor a fist in front of the flying rubber. The teams played cautiously throughout the first twenty minutes laying back for the breaks that did not come.

onds of the second period had gonc Ii into history when the Wolverines: opened the scoring. With Bill-rage, James and Gill ill. the penalty box the Wolverine front liners spread across the ice. Reg Shields skated in close, whipped a pass onto Owen Lennon's stick and the latter smash- ed a hot one behind Foster. Nine seconds later Lennon carried the rubber close to the Moncton cage, slid the disc onto McGlashcns stick and Mickey picked his corner as he drilled an unbclltnble past Foster. Gordon Kennedy increased the mar- gin after five minutes of play in the 3rd verse, he skated fromend to end, fought his way through a weakened Moncton team, drew Foster out of the cage and slapped a back llander into the cords. Five minutes before the game ended Vince F€fgll50ll slashed the rubber fronl a face ofl in front of the Moncton cage and Foster never got a good look at the little heel as it rested snugly ill the Moncton draperies.

The Wolverines claimed a goal half way through the middle per- iod. Mickey McGlashenk high sllct frolll left wing struck the goal and bounded cut. Many people close to the cage claimed the rubber went in under the bar. The goal judge said it hit the post. The score was not allowed, if it was a score. _ Outstanding in the Wolverine triumph were goalie Leo Sargent, Vince Ferguson, Owen Iiennon, Gor- don Kennedy and Mickey Mc- Glashen. The Gralllim-Lsvigne rear guard duo hammered away at the Moncton forwards until the attack- ing men from the railway city were groggy and skating in circles.

Hawks Ouiclnllsed

Tilventy-four penalties were hand- cd out during the sixty minutes of play. The Wolverines took thirteen of them, but they presented few openings while shorihandeil, while the Hawks were unable to hold the speedy locals when they had men with the tinlcrs. After the first period, in which there was littlc good hockey, the Wolverines out- classed the Hawks in every depart- ment of the game.
