W. H. L. McCourtie oi Dallas, Texas, a well-known sportsman and highly successful business man, Pissed away early Monday morn-

\ ing at Battle Creek Sanatorlum

TLV

t

r

Battle Creek, Michigan. Mr. Mc- Qwtio became early in life inter- ested in the promotion of cement concerns and in time became the greatest factor in that industry in America. He was extremely wealthy and very philanthropic with it.

Our greatest interest in him is as a breeder of trotters. With Wid- ow Maggie a daughter of Peter the Great as a foundation source of his breeding operations, he became the most successful individual breeder

' the trotting world has ever known.

From her he bred a long list of great trotters, several of these be- coming world's champions. The most famous of her produce was Mr. McElwyn 1.59%, world's cham- pion trotter at two, three and four Years arldtoday the greatest and most successful stallion of his age. Others bred by him from the same dam were Benclwyn 2.01%, four year old champion oi 1928, whose unfortunate death late that year prevented him from being better than a two minute trotter. The third champion from Widow Mag- gie was Herbcltvyn 2.0503, former holder oi the world's record for a trotter over a half mile track. Last season Mr. McCourtie was represented on the turf by Spencer McElviryn (2) 2.0485, a son of Spell- cer l.59‘5i, and Miss McEltvyn 2.04%, a daughter oi Etawuh 2.03, and Widow Maggie. The colt proved the leading race and money win- ning two year old trotter of the year and is today the choice to win the Hambletonian Stake for,three year olds which will be raced at Goshen, New York, in August.

It is learned that shortly before his death his horses had been sold to the well-known breeder, Henry H. Knight of Chicago. 'I‘_hese were sixteen in lumber including Mr. McElwyn 1.59%, Spencer McElwyn (2) 2.042114 and Widow Maggie 2.24%. It is understood that the price paid for the sixteen horses was in the neighborhood f0 $40,- 000.

Mir. McElwyn 1598i, world's

_greatest speed sireoi his age has

been moved to Calumet Farm, Lexington, Ky., where he will make the season of 1933. Calumet Farm is the homc oi Peter the Brewer 2.04%, Truax 2.03%, Justice Brooke 2.08%, ctc., and has been with Walnut Faml, the leading speed nursery oi America in recent years. With the addition oi Mr. McElwyn it will take on an even greater reputation.

.With the exception of two or three animals the horses owned at his death by Mr. McCourtie, were direct descendants of the great brood mare Widow Maggie 2.24%. by Peter the Great 2.07%. She is the dam of ten trotters in the standard list oi which six have re- cords of better than 2.10. Widow Maggie is now twenty-six years of age and her breeding days are practically over.

It will be of interest to horsemen oi this province to know that Mr. George H. Reddin oi this city owns I brood mare practicallly identical in bleeding with Widow Maggie, being by Pcicl- the Grout, clcm by The Wilton. She is the dam o! Jessica the Great 2.14% and Real Great 2.20%.

They are stepping along in their early training in the U. S. A. At Groveton’ Georgie, a three year old, l-lollyrood Maybe, trotted a workout mile recently in 2.08%. He is owned by John L. Dodge.

Scarcity of money does not PN- vent trades being made in race horses. Albert Mann of Hanover, Mass, who deals in trotters, paoers and automobiles, recently advertis- ed Nancy P. 2.12, for sols and l deal was completed with C. A. Mc- Iiellan of Brockton, Most. Where“ the daughter oi 'Nclson Dillon passed to his ownership by th° transfer oi a canary, an addins machine and several diamonds.

The fastest milo by a two Y?" old foported-from/the Whit" trim‘ ing camp at Inngwood, Florida, is by the filly Fay Mack by Mr. Mt‘- Elwyn 1.59%, in the stable of Ben White and owned by w. N. Rey- nolds of Camel Cigarette fame. Fol’ was a comfortable mue in 736%-

Charles F. Adams who g the owner of the Boston Bruins Hockey Team and Boston Braves baseball team, is a great horse enthusiast. and together with Mrs. _ Adams takes a keen enjoyment 1h training and driving them. Mr. Adalns com- peted ln several matinee races with hi8 110F588 lest year and this year it is understood will make a bid for the championship cup; in the Metropolitan Driving Club faces‘ with Sir Guy Mac 2.04%, and Larkspur (3) 2.03%.

Wlil Crozier of Hartford, has in his stable_ the two year old pacer Hanover Prophet, recently purchas- ed by Fred Holsapple, Copake Falls, N. Y., from Noah Squires. This chap is by Guy McKinney 1.58%, out oi Petrea 2.09%, by Peter the Great 2.07%.

Rance, the handsome little bay stallion that "Red" Hanaiin raced through the Bay State Circuit last year, now is owned by Amos D. Mahoney of East Pepperell, Mass, and is in his new home the Happy Hours Stable at Groten, Mass.

Wallace Year Book for 1932 con- taming reports of all race meet- ings in the! United States and Canada, has been issuedvin a new iorm and retails at $5.00 by the

American Trotting Register Asso- ciation, Goshcn, N. Y. ‘ John Judy, which placed the

world's record for three year old pacing gcldings at 2.0111; last sen- son, has been purchased by H. Stacey Smith of Newark, N. J.. owner of Zonlbvo Hanover 2.00%. leading money winning pacer of 1932 and will be raced for him by Will Hudson on the Grand Circuit.

The Lexington Grand Circuit races which are looked forward to with interest by many thousands of persons in America, and are held annually in September at Lexing- ton, Ky., will this year be held over the Lexington running horse track. They were held there last year also, owing to the grandstand at the trotting horse grounds hav- mg been destroyed by fire.

J. Edgar Milligan of Milligan

cngers who spent Thursday night in the straits on the car ferry

from New York where he witnessed the silver fox pelt sales and in- cidentally saw a magnificent col

lection oi the firms cross foxes auctioned. Mr. Mllligan states that the Fromm and Nieman foxes con- sisting of about twelve thousand skins, were a very fine offering, that they were large and heavily furled and met with a great recep-

this year to put on two or three meetings. One possibly very early in July, an afternoon meeting, and another one or two meetings by‘ electric light. For this purpose he has added a new steam enginc

er and thereby give him a flood of light which will make the track as desirable for racing as dfiylight. Edgar says he is also planning to race on dark, nights as the moon- light interfered considerably with the success oi last year's meeting. ‘there is a yearling by ‘Great Britton out of Leonor McKinney 2.00% that is highly thought of in Fredericton. It is a half sister of Addie McGraw 2.10, by Great Brit- ton and several offers have been made "for it. '

By the way, Addie McGraw was rather sensational in the ilflt thflt she accomplished 2.10 her first year out, which is the best ever known for a Maritime filly. Among the good prospects that Billy Keyes has for 1933 racing is Miss Uhleen (S) 2.07%. The belief exists that this more will be a sen- sation over the half mile tracks in the potato state. Billy 515° h" 50mg good colt prospects so we will likely hear from him in the summaries this yell’.
