writs that the first race of use season at Richelieu Paris was held last weekend and glthough gh. weather was cool about 4,000 people attended. The time was slow but good, considering tint tn, track was very heavy and rough and that it was so early in the season. Most of the horses that won places had been 'racing at Dufferin Park, Toronto. previously. Glanclng over the score card we see familiar names such as My Partner. that Joe O'Brien drove st the night races herein 1947 to a record of Ni 1-5. which was at that time the night racing track record. "Harry" mentioned that Giftline went a grand race and looking up the score card we see that in the first classified event Giftilne was 2-2 in a good field. Readers will remember that he was brought here some years ago Ky Jimmie Power, who purchased in from the late Charles Barrett. Park Hill. Ontario. In the" second classified event Miss Woodland was 1-2. She was driven by R. Armstrong who was a popular driver here two seasons ago. last winter he raced at Dufferln.

LONDON. April 21) - (CF) - A phrase used nearly a century ago by Benjamin Disraeli is being ap- plied to Britain's present political situation.
Diuaeli wrote that the indust- rial revolution, with its emphasis on utilitarian economics and the absentee landlord, had split Brit- ain into "two nations" by widen- ing the gap between rich and poor, The same term is held to have

signidicance today.
Advocates of the "two nations" theory argue that the contempor- ary conflict is not between rich and poor but between those from the industrial areas on the one hand and those from the rural and white-collar communities on the other.
This analysis is based largely on last February's general election. which snuffed out the smaller
, parties and raised two main pai-
liamentary protagonists to posi- tions of nearly equal strength.

The suddent death early this week of Henry Knauf, President of the United States Trotting As-
sociation, has cast a. gloom over the entire harness horse world. Mr. Khan! was one of the most
popular men in the state of Illinois and for sixteen years was s. state representative, declining renam- ination this year because he be- lieved his duties as President 01 the U. S. T. A. did not give him time to do anything more. He was a very fair man and accessible to anyone. He radiated confidence in the organization of which he was head. There is no question but that he has been a power for good in the harness horse world. discouraging any practices that would injure it and constantly en- deavoring to make it more popu- lar with the public. The writer knew him well personally and any questions in connection with Dis- trict ll brought before him were dealt with most sympathetically. He was laid to rest last Wednes- day with hundreds of horsemen friends attending from various points in the United States.

We have received from Dr. F. C. Dougan his booklet compiled an- nually with eligibility list for 1350 ol trotters and pacers now owned or raced in the Maritlmes, also im- poriant rules with questions and answers. Alphabetically appears the name of the pacer. his 1949 winnings, class eligibility andslm- ilsrly the tnotters. This makes ita handy reference for horsemen and track owners and the rules give a guide to most of the usual hap- penings that occur in racing, We congratulate the doctor on his booklet and feel sure it will be ap- preciated by those who receive it.

Will they be content to continue to enjoy free gratis of the fruits of the city sports money and labours to improve our fishing and hunt- ing or will they put their should- ers to the wheel and help put over the proposed project to bet- ter our provincial wildlife pl:t- ure. Methinks it is up to everyone who enjoys the sport of hunt:n; and fishing to contribute their share of the money that goes to- ward the betterment of those oui.- door sports. There is no denying the fact that the excellent Hun- garian partrldge and "pheasant shooting we enjoy in this province at the present time is the result of the initiative, time, labour and money of our urban (city) sports-

From now on a. sharp decline in their numbers may be expected as the laying geese begin In move northward to their spring breed- ing grounds in Labrador, Hudson's Bay and northeir. Islands. The one, two and three year olds of::n remain with us until June. I have seen large flocks as late as May
22nd.
Geese have been putting or. weight this past week. A few even- ing's ago I was sitting amid short bushes at the rear of a string of farms watching the evening flight of geese coming in to feed. our flock of five came in not over six feet from the ground and passed by a. short distance to my right. Their bodies looked as plump and round as the five gallon rum kegs that we used to see in Lhe days before the last war. I guess there are some who could vouch for their fatness but to date none have come forward with this information.
