A Toronto paper carries the story of how the driver Floyd Milton came to take up harness racing. Floyd is one of the tops in Canada and the U. S. A. and owners place a great deal of con- fidence in him. 1t appears that he was a car dealer and had to like a mare as part payment on s new car. That was when cnr dealers had to chase customers It turned out to he a bad bargain but it put Floyd in the harness horse game. He allowed his ous- tomer $150. for the mare and when he got back to his showroom in Drumbo, Ontario, his partner said. "Floyd, you have been gyp- pod, she is worth about s75", and it turned out to be right but Floyd got so darn mad he quit the oar business and wont into the horse game. It was tough sledding and it was not until he had been 19h Years in it, that is to say i936. that he could show a profit.

puts it: "A caretaker can make you a good or bad driver. It de- pends on whether he keeps your horse in shape. A fellow has also got to figure in this game and never be caught napping Just to give you an instance. a man sent me a stallion to train and I for- got and carne up behind him as the boy was walking him. Sud- denly he let fly with both heels and missed my head by s. frac- tion of an inch."

Playing IJEIOIIB upwards of 300 rabid, hockey fans at the Kenning- ton rink lass night, the Darniey Black Hawks fought the Kensinl- ton Legion to a 3-3 tie. The garnb produced the fastest hockey of the season, and it looks as if at least one of these teams. if not both, will be around when the silverware is passed out at the conclusion of the season. _ The game was very cleanly play- ed, only two minor penalties being i r ‘, both going to the Legion. For the Hawks, E. MacKenzie end G. Woodside were the most effec- tive, both turning in stellar par- formancea, while for the Legion, J’. Bernard and I. MacNeili kept the Hawks’ goalie busy on their numer- ous forays into Huwk territory. The following are the lineups: Darniey: Goal, E. Woodside; de- fence, C. MacKenzie, B. Macken- zie, J.

The summary was:- True liai 1-1-4; Tip Abbe 2-3-1: Joliity 3-2-3; Royal at Law 0-4-2; Anti-Aircraft i-d-dr; Rhea Mae 5-5-dr. Time: 2.09141: 2.10%: 210%. The track was seconds slow.

The following week he raced in the $1,000.00 Free For All at Cove- head, September 19th. that proved one of the greatest Free For Alls raced in this Province in recent years. The first heat still consti- tutes the track pacing record at

ivent. n magnificent race and many believed that had he drawn the pole he would have won. As it, was he forced Johnny Campbell to givc the Chuck Worthy horse one of the drives of his life.

He had other good summar- ies duringthe season and lasi- year we remember his having gone an cvcentionallv good rnce at St. Ste- phen, finishing from s. fast field as a winner with 2-1-1.

We do not know whether it is the purpose of 1W1’, La-Pointe to race True Hal but. if he does he has a. perfect mannered horse with extreme speed. but it may be his intention to place him in the stud as there seems to be a great da- mand for stallions sired by I-Ial Dale 2.02, premier sire at Two Grits Farm, Indianapolis. Indiana. With his splendid individuality. manners. speed and excellent breeding he should be a valuable addition to the stallion ranks of any farm in Canada. We regret to see him leave the Province but it is in the nature of things that horses come and go We are sure driver Joe Hennessey will miss his

The Avosdale bear lliii caus- ing e feeling of uneasi ess in some sections. One thing is certain — with the weather prevailing at present, no bear would dreazii of roaming through the winter woods or over snow-covered fields where icy winds blow at will. In con- versation with s hunting friend a couple of days ago, he told me that the late Benjamin Wood who spent his life at Alexandra, had told him years ago that the lialey boys killed the bear on the birth- day of a former Alexandra resi- dent. now living in Western Can- ada. This gentleman is now 82 or 03 years old and it is just that many years since the Waterside bear met his fntc. e

Contrary to general opinion, our eastern black hears are not vic- ious. unless disturbed when they have young cubs. and arc inclin- ed to shun human beings. still I imagine most of us would be in- clined to forget this little known fact about bears should we hap-

pen to meet one face to fare in

the woods. Regardless of what our feelings might be at the moment I rm positive that s black bear is ouite harmless tihlcss molested and if one mot a boar in the wCOriI. and ran. it wouldn't be with un- hear behind.

Curling News From Montague

0n Wednesday night the final playoff game for the right to rep- resent the Montague Curling Club at the Regal trophy junior play- downs at Aiberton on Wednesday, was held between I-lai-ry Higgin- botham and C.J. Boudreault. Members who were watching ‘were treated to s splendid performance as both teams fought for the de- cicling game. H. Higginbotlliam took the first game 10-6 but Boud- reaull. came right back to take the second 12-5. Every member of each team was playing to the best of his ability to take the final gnome. At the halfway mark Boudreault was leading and than with a five-end shOt pulled ahead i0 make the score 12-5, but Higgin- hothnm came right back to take a d-cnd and e fi-end in the 8th and 9th round to tie the score. The last end was on, and the sprcta- tors were by now chewing pipe stems, cigars, and their next door neighbor in the excitement. Each shot was played to perfection in the club room, is each player on the ice made his shot. Finally the skips went down. Higginhotharn laid his stone inside to make two counicrs. Boudreault shot and missed. Higginbothnm w c n t through the front to lay in three counters. The final shut was on.
