....._.

Colonel Parker Hooper whose sudden passing hes Ieddened many lslenders we: I men given to forthright speech and endowed with more than Iversge physical courage. There was no evasion when he put his cards on the table and he was always willing to fight openly for Iny opinion he held. Overseas in the First World Wai- his furlessness was I byword with the men under his charge. and he spent much time in the forward trenches doing observation work for the battery to which he was Iitached.

To the present generhtion of Is- lsnders he is known by many Is I horseman. the owner and some- times driver of Roselle H. Shirley H. Temple. Billie McVey: others were better Icquslnted with him Is one of the island's largest potato growers. An earlier: generation saw him Is I greet athlete, on‘ of the outstanding men in the Domin- ion in his best event, the quarter- mile dash.

The great ii-Ick meets of Col. Hooper's youthful days were stei- lIr IttrIctions'creItlng In much excitement as the bigger sport spectacles of modern times. Sev- eral times "Parker" competed in the Dominion track champion- ships It Montreal to which came not only CInIdI’.s best. but Ill of the reigning stars of the United States. .

O l 0-,

in the last of three great meal- ings in which he took part. held in Montreal in 1912 or i913 the greatest field of dash men of I great athletic era were entrants. All of America's and Canada's Olympic greats were there and between them they held all the

.world‘s records from the hundred

metres dash to the half-mile run. Parker Hooper was one of I dozen runners in the quarter-milc event. and most of his competitors could reel off the distance in 50 seconds or less. The first three men to hit the tape were Ameri- cans, and the fourth man was Parker Hooper. All four could have been covered by I blanket. The Islander was the best quarter!- niller in Canada that day at least and not to be taken lightly by America’: finest. .

Parker did not have the dszzllrig sprinting speed of the ‘lop flyers of his day. but always he had the endurance and heart to move up for I fighting finish, when flash- icr men wilted under the pace. Most great competitors can ac- ccpt defeat gracefully, but Parker Hooper will be remembered by athletes of a bygone day Is one who took his set-backs in laugh- ing good humor, and his victories with modesty and .no display of elation or triumph.

Col. Hooper will be mimed by many people. An older group who were followers of athletics will re- call his great career on the run- ning tracks.

Old comrades-in-er-ms will sIdly note that a good soldier has pass- ed over, and that he will be absent from future roll-calls.

Horsemen and race-followers. aware of his great contribution to the genie Ind especially to the de- velopment of colt-racing. will mourn his departure, keenly con- scious of the gap where once he stood.

His place in the history of island horse racing is assured. The time he spent Ind effort he mIde to bring colt rIcing and the Island fuiurities to their present flourish- ing popularity will be of continu- ing Ind growing vIlue in the years

f ahead. Those who cIrry on in his son of Mr. and Mrs. Gaeton Rob-

eiead have hId bequeathed to them I solid foundation on which build.

He enjoyed racing horses. his pleasure in finishing out front was spoiled unless he had raised and irained the winner. As I greet lover of horses and I 9pOl'l.ll_‘i1Il'l that was his ultimate in satisfac- iion. ,

A little known side of Colonel Hooper‘s personality was his love of music, to which he devoted much of his time some years ago. For mIny years he was I mem- ber of St. Psul's~Anglican Choir. Ind his fine baritone voice was frequently heard as I soloist on public occulons. He was also I member of various popular quer- teties from time to time.

He was interested in . band- muslc and miss I very good cornet player. Occasionally he turned out with the bondd which were in ex- istence It the time.

From golden sunset until dork. and Igaln It the first streak of dswn until bi-osd daylight. I mys- terious. yet glorious voice will soon ring through our CInIdiIn forests. Only dwellers in the most northerly states ever have our opportunity of hearing the spring song of I Hermit Thrush. because it seldom sings in migration. some world-wide Iuthoritiee on bird music tell us the English Nightin- gele must tIke second place.

No musical instrument is Ible to give In Idequote ren ring of the Hermit‘: song. The tone is comparable with that of I flute. but the lower notes Ire mellow like those of In oboe. A low. long. liquid note is followed by In Is- cendlng scale. repeated several times. each fresh start I littlo higher thsn the time before. un- iii It length the voice climbs be- yond the reach of some human cars. At close range. we may hear the ‘introductory “chuck", Ind many ornamental flourishes be sides the main melody. The bird is I veairiloqulst too, so the: we know not where to look. if our presence is g ‘. the song ceases albruptly. A strong desire to elude notice has given the Her- mit its name.
