Many hoisemen will remember Jnume Carroll who assisted his iii-lit. the late Peter Carroll in triinung and we: one of the best virctakczs in the business. If I re- lllPillbPI‘ corrtrcily he looked gflgr Bill Siiurm 2.04 1-4 the season of 1921 whcn he raced unbeaten llllOlllll the Marititnes and set up a new track trotting record of 211 i-4 at Charlottetown. Bill was anyth-ing but nice to handle but. the Carrolls. father and son, knew how to keep him in his place. Now Jim is with E. J. Kirby at Grshcn. N. Y.. and a recent letter from him gives the writer some iiHFllClllflFS of horses in training tht-rcwByt the way. Mr. Kirby has brnuzht. out some of the best colts in i-rrrn‘. years and knows the bai-uirss from A to Z.

the Fredericton Exhibit-ion build- ings were nearly all burned down last fall there is talk of an Ex- hibition there this season.
