Stanley Mayhew, Kinkora. is one of the most. active men in his community. Besides having a large farm he does a big trading business in heavy horses suitable for lumbering operations. Stanley just delivered a very fine con- signment of these last week. We asked him if horses of that type were not getting scarce and he said. "Yes, it vionlt be very long before they will he unobtainabie." years ago they could be brought in from Western Canada but now. we understand. parties there are not permitted to sell them out of the province. Stanley is also a great race horse lover and gets a real thrill over a close finish. He has several in training in the Smith Stables at Chai' and has sent for an eligibility certificate for Jean Aubrey (trot- ter and pacer) and also for a horse he bought while in Freder- icton after delivering his heavy horses. The new one is Johnnie Jester 2.00 by Court Jester. Johnnie is a 7-year-old pacer that was very active at Mhywood track.
