One thins: we noticed about the workouts in Joe's stable is' that has two-year-olds are worked slow- er miles and also his other horses than most of the stables that are being prepared out there and they are worked 15 seconds or more slower than the two-year-olds that are being trained in Orlando, Florida, and Aiken. 5. C. Joe's "191 14 Y0 try and bring them along slowly and avoid over-training or

injuries which lead to lameness when you consider the fact that last year he gave Meadow Pace a two-year-old rccord of 2.01. Way- raid a two-year-old record of 2.05 4-5. Earl's Gal 2. 2.08 and the three-year-old Diana Streak a re- cord of 1.58 4-5. all of them train- ed the same way. it may be that his system wiIl work out the best The other trainers are no doubt looking to develop real stars quick- ly. That plan backfired pretty badly I. few years ago when one of Jan Azoff's two-year-olds which trained in Florida in 2.13 in March. did not get to the races. It was a record but brought no money to the owner.

Franklyn Safford. Grand Circuit race driver and one of the promin- ent reinsmen every year at Roose- velt and Yonkers Racewziys. is prepping a large stable of two- year-olds and aged horses at Pine- hurst. N.C. Franklyn had the dis- tinction some years ago of being the heaviest driver that ever rac- ed successfully on the Grand Cir- cuit, his avoirdupois being in the vicinity of 255 to 260 lbs. Then he went on a reducuig regime that got him down to a mere 225 lbs. and a few months ago hit upon a schedule that threatens to bring him to the stage where he will draw the nickname of ”sllm" as in the past three months he has reduced from 235 lbs. to lB0. His loss of weight hasn't slowed him down a bit. His day starts at 5 am. and he makes his last. roui-1 of the stable between 1000 phi. and mid-night.

The many friends of James "Jlggy" Arbing will be pleased to know that he has returned home from hospital and that he has im- proved very much and we hope to see him around again before very long.

Friends all over that Province are feeling very badly because of the news released a few days ago that R. Longworth MacMillan of Calgary. Alberta, had passed away. Mr. MncMi1lan was in good helth until several months ago and then on the recommendation of his doctor went to the Mayo Clinic where ho was operated on and there were hopes that he would get. well. Last year he and Mrs. Mac-Millan were visitors here spend- ing most of the summer and they planned to come back again this year. He left here as I. young man of nineteen and went to work on a ranch near High River. His en-' ergy snd ability soon brough him larger opportunities and he event ually became the owner of one of the biggest ranches in Alberta with one of the finest herds of cattle. several years ago he sold out his ranch interests and has since been taking it easy. He was
