Highlight! of the racing at Truro wgdnesday night was the second we on the program won by Helen Budlong (O'Brien) in 2.15 from Flora Direct tBoutivlier) and Bud Kalmuck. two other starters. This ,5 . new record for Helen Bud- long, Aubrey Budlong. owned y scan Weeks and driven by An ie Allen. won the fourth race in 2.12 .; new record for Aubrey. and Nova G.. by The Great 6-. owned by C. L. Dau-phinee and driven by W. Carroll. won the third race in 2.16-a new record. Jacob Withrow (Carroll) owned by C. L, Dauphince, Halifax, won Race No. it in 2.13 8-5 with Aubrey Bud- long (Allen): second. Jacob With- mw had just arrived back from racing at the newly constructed Thornciiffe Raceway. Toronto. where he was second in a mile md one-sixteenth dash raced in fast time.

Next Wednesday afternoon rac- mg on the Island Circuit shifts to Farkview Raceway. South Rustico, where the genial proprietors Amos and Alyre Ga1lant.,are putting on tour races of three heats each with total purse money of 51,800. It is expected that this will attract a well balanced field of ti-otters and pacers and give a splendid after- noon's sport. The popular pro- prietors have done much to en- courage racing in their vicinity and certainly deserve auitcess.

It was with deep regret that we learned a few days ago that our old Il'lEI1d Orin Jardine. who has trained. driven and given records to so many trotters and pacers in the long years he has been in the .-'ulk,v, was stricken with a revere attack of pneumonia and his life despaired of. Fortunately his con- f1lIlOfl has taken a turn for the bet- ter and now there is every ex- pecialion of a good recovery. Orin W3! having a very successful sea- son but added burdens were ihtutt-n on his shoulders because of the illness of another driver. The strain of racing and taking t-are of two stables was too much. His son. W. Jardine. is here and I: the driver of Abbeland 2.10 4-5 and Eddie Scott 2.04 1-2. and is. like his Dad. a most llkeable horse- l1'l3l'1. '

Yesterday we were talking to Fotnnel James Calkin. one of the ,-ridges of the racing at Old Home Week, and he spoke about June Morning and the wonderful pacer she is. He regretted that J. H. Dewitt had sold her as he believ- ed she could beat any free for all pacer in the Maritimes or state of Maine. Last evening through the

kindness of C. 1-1. McGin1ey. Haul- ton. lo. we received the results of the 51.01!) Free For All Pace at Bangor. Friday, August 11th. in which June Morning met and de- feated the best pacers in the state of Maine including Anna Belle Seniab (O'Donnell) that had won repeatedly at Roosevelt Raceway, Waysoff 8. 2.04 1-2, Bonnie Volo and other fast free for all stars. The first heat was a dead heat between June Morning (Simon- son) and Anna Belle Seniah (O'Donnell) in 2.01 4-5. The sec- ond heat was won by June Morn- inl in 2.07 2-5, Anna Belle Seniah second. June Morning paced the last half in 1.02 1-5. She was bred by George MacDonald, Mermaid and her sire is Calumet Bucllong 2.02 3-4. and her dam Miss Vic- toria 2.l.4 1-2 by Ka-lmuck 2.15 1-2.

Among the welcome visitors to Old Home Week is T. E. Plankin- sonof Middleton. N.S.. owner of Hero Mine 2.11 2-5. P.E.1. Budlong 2.15 1:4 and others. Hero Mine is a standard bred and registered stallion, by Volomite 2.08 1-2, the world's greatest sire and his dam is Pearl Xavier by Guy Axworthy, lmndda Slater Fantaline by Pet- er the Great. He is a full brother of Milestone 2.00. one of the great- est campaigners of a few years ago. A horse of magnificent ap- pearance. perfect manners, coal black in color, weighing over 1,100 lbs. he should be one of the great- est stock horses ever brought to the Maritimes.

Billy Connick, Woburn, Mass. has not missed a Hambletonian race for many years and of course was on hand at Goshen to see the world's biggest harness horse purse event. He sent us a copy of the I-lambeltonian edition of the In- dependent Republican. published at Goshen. which is all horse with stories of Hamletonlan. history of the race track and of course all about the programs that will be contested there. It is copiously illustrated and is certainly a rc- markable piece of publicity.

Among the winners at Gorham

Raceway. Maine, recently was Jessie Direct 2nd. owned and driven by Earle Semple. Time,

2.11 4-5. In the 2.18 pace. purse 51.000 Janette Dale by Playdale (Coleman) was 3-1 in 2.07 3-5, 2.08. In the Classified Pace. purse 31,000 Wayzoff (Clarke) was 1-1. Katrina Chief 2-2. Mary Merke (Semple) 5-'3. seven other starters. Time. 2.11. 2.09.

In a letter dated Roosevelt Raceway August 18th from Mrs. Joe O'Brien to her "Dad"-James Flood--is the news that Joe, Mrs. Joe and stable of horses are now located at Roosevelt. They will remain until the end of Septem- ber when they go to Lexington. Ky. for the big fa-ll meet. Joe has splendid new quarters and was given a wonderful reception by

have a little sport in the bargain. I-1e'd catch a chicken by the neck, or so the signs indicated. and swing it around until it was dead or as good as dead. No one actually saw the dog kill the chickens. The evi- dence was purely circumstantial. For instance he didn't eat. his breakfast that morning but curl- ed up and went to sleep instead. The owner said to me at one stage of the investigation: "What if we shoot him and then find he was innocent. of the crime". "Well", was my reply, "he's not much loss in any case. If he didn't kill them himself he allowed something else to do it - so what". I U 0

Few people realize the killing potentiality in an ordinary farm dog. There is Just one cure for a roaming dog a dose of lead followed by a spot of pick and shovel work. A few days ago a hunter informed me that he had seen, just a few days before. an Irish setter leap five feet. into the air and ncatly pick a. I-fun the size of 5. robin out of a covey it had flushed. That's another hunting dog headed for the trash pile.

O O I

A-dog that is worth keeping is worth looking after. Above all things keep them shut up at nights, A dog that gets into the habit. of roaming is a problem and the best way to prevent it is to try and train him right. at. the begin- ning. Hcrc is one thing to bear in mind: if you own a dog that doesn't. stay at home and someone shcots it. you'll have to grin and bear it no difference how valuable it was. If you raise too much com- motion you're liable to find your- self summoned to Court under the Game Act. The minimum fine for allowing your dog to run at large is ten dollars.

A distrcssitigly large number of Hungarian partridge and pheasant nests have been destroyed- by hav- mowers this summer. It is this col- tinist's conviction that more 1-luns and pheasants are destroyed in this manner every season than are shot by hunters in the fall. They sa.V that what one doesn't see doesn't hurt one and that can be applied to what one doesn't know. I've quit inquiring among farmers as to how many nests they cut over. when one former reports two de- stroyed durlng haymnklng on one form, it doesn't add to one's peace of mind. Despite such losses all signs point to top notch Hun shoot.- lng this coming 11:11..

O

. There are two ways of looking nt- the Hun situation, if we elim- inated wlnter killing and losses from haymowers. the resultant crop of birds might well present a real wildlife problem. Nevertheless I feel that the time is ripe for some experimenting with flushing bars. If we ever happen to experience a winter of such severity that our Hun population is dangerously lowered every nest saved by n flushing bar will mean that the birds will recover that much more quickly.
