To those of us who are mem- bers of the United States Trotting Association in the Marltimes theft.- is one irritating feature and it is the fact that when we go to the customs to get our annual copy of the Year Book we have to pay anywhere from '75 cents up duty. The Year Book is free to every member of the United states Trot- ting Amociatlon together with Hoof Beats, when the annual membership fee of 810.00 is paid. and therefore we have always felt that duty should not be collected. Now a notice is being sent our. from Columbus, Ohio, to all Cana- dian members of the U.S.T.A. which contains these paragraphs...

"Some of the Year Books sent to Canadian members have been held in Customs for duty and some Year Books have been re- turned to us as unclaimed. We have taken it up with the Customs and Excise Department, Mr. J. B. Wil- son, Dominion- Customs Apprais- cr. states: iwhen sent to members of the Association without charge, as part of their membership pri- vileges, the Department will not object to the entry of the book free of cusoms duty under tariff item 172 and without payment of the consumption or sales tax. if you will state the customs ports in Canada where such importa- tions have been held for payment of duty and.or sales tax, the mat- ter will be taken up with the col- lector: concerned!

Wilson further wrote: '11 you wish to send copies of.the departmental letter dealing with your year book, to your Canadian members, they may be presented

The Year Book for 1952, Vol. 65, No. 1, will be delivered February 1st. It will be a complete volume on racing and eligibility of horses with many other interesting sta- tistics. To secure it on that date the membership fee of 310.00 should be remitted early, '

A full page writeup of the Que- bec City race track and a. glimpse of its history and achievements appears in the Harness Horse of November 19th. This is a brief from it . . . A page was added to the history of the harness horse sport when on the 26th of Octo- ber last the Bath program of the season was presented at the Que- bec track and a new Canadian record was set for the number of meetings offered during a com- plete season. For the same period the attendance reached a. new high of 312,115 racing fans. It was in 1947 that the Quebec Harness Racing Club R.eg.'d, took charge of the local track and in 1948 an electrical system was installed thus promoting night racing, which has increased to 62 the total pro- grams. In 1948 the amount paid out in-. purses was sl09,8l5 and this year the total amount was raised to s251,465. The total num- ber oi staffs in 1048 was 154. and it is now 485.

A jogging track has been laid out on the inside oi the regular race track and in the centre of these ovals you can see beautiful flower beds with more than 40,- 000 plants embellishing this cen- tre. Because of the encouragement given by the racing fans the man- agement of the club are carrying on many improvements. The track is being resurfaced so that it will be one of the fastest on the con- tinent. Because of the importance of general appearance it has been decided that a greenhouse will be built which will produce, under the direction of the appointed

"Now are their brows bound with victorious wreaths

Their torn sweaters hung up for testaments."

Thus to mis quote Shakespeare, one may sum up the situation of the Mccurdy Cup winners. These torn sweaters give testimony to the most successful team ever to leave P. E. I. and to the smartest playing group of men to enter the lists of Maritime English Rugby in '52. Fortunately for the Saints, the satsifaction experienced by their ;-1-0 win over the Wanderers was not dimmed because of the circumstances concerning the tro- phy. Many of the players will not be at,s. D. U. next year, to these. to Mr. McAdam and the team in general, the week extends sincer- est congratulations for their per- sonal achievement and for the honor they brought to their col- lege and province.

Apart from't't1'e price angle no one need expect to go out and catch two or three beaver every mom- lng. one may expect a lot of sprung traps and no catch excepting a few brown hairs or tip of a toe. Beaver swim with their fore feet tucked in close to their sides and the trap is sprung by their chest instead of their feet. Their webbed hind feet are quite large, large enough to cover an ordinary spring trap, and the Jaws close on tough slippery skin and fails to obtain a hold. Adult beaver weigh from 40 to an pounds and an animal of that poundnge is sometimes hard to hold when the trap closes on a foot. one was caught in mid week that

Harries Racing Club Reg'd, ls Jac- ques J. Gravel. well known sports- man who for the last fifteen years has been interested in trotters and pacers. Another larg re- sponsible for this success i Jos- eph Cauchon, who since 1911 has been a keen patron of tharacing sport. He now owns one of the best stables in the country and each fall he spares nothing in ex- pense to bring the best horses to Quebec. Other pioneers who have worked very hard for the Quebec track are Jules Giguiere and Henri Bertrand. Mr. Giguiere is considered top authority in classi- fication and Mr. Bertrand as sec- retary, brings to his acquired knowledge of the sport years of experience as radio commentator and sportscaster. Photos of the Quebec track and grounds. its entrance. flower beds and officials are shown on the page and cer- tainly to those who have not been there to see it. are a revelation. However. we have heard 3 good deal about the Quebec trabk from our friend Rankin McLaine, who pays an annual visit or more to

' it. We were delighted to have an

invitation to attend their annual meeting tonight, but regretted that it' was impossible to be present.

The trotter Milldale 2.14 NS and the pacer Neil Budlong 2.12 8l3, both owned by Wellington Mc- Neill, Southport, were sent Truro last weekend and are now in the stable of Johnny Conroy, who also has other horses belong- ing to Mr. McNeill. These two, to- gether with others being trained by Johnny, will give him one of the most formidable stables in the Maritimes for 1953. We believe that when the points are released Johnny will have an average very close to the top among Maritime drivers for 1962.

It will be a surprise to most of our readers to learn that Henry Clukey is the 1952 Yonkers Race- way lsading driver under the Uni- versial Drive Rating system. with a. rating of .367. Clukey is 66 years old and at grandfather four times. and he shared honors with 29-year- old Billy I-Iaughton, who recently became a. father for the first time. Haughton had the most victories -46. Stanley Dancer, 25 years old, who was top reinsman in 1950- 51. was fourth with .302”. Maritime drivers will remember Henry very well when he handled the Sulli- van and-Mawhinney horses and raced at Fredericton Exhibition meets. Henry had his horses train- ed so that they would start like a bullet from about fifty yards from. t-he wire and it was difficult to get away on even terms with him. As our readers well know, he set the track record pacing there of 202 N2 in 1937 with Walter Dale 2.00 3H.

Although the last intramural football game was played about three weeks ago between the Juniors and seniors. the Juniors could not claim a. victory for their 6-0 win because of a protest by the opposing team. Though there was some basis for contention in that one try was questioned and the game was played while supposedly under protest, the seniors with- drew their stand to leave the cen- tennial class champion for the second straight year. on the win- ning team were: forwards, G.

hands of a hunter who knows how to use it makes for a tricky com- bination. Its so tricky that many battle-wise old genders now balk at allghting in a. field that is already occupied. It makes no difference whether by real live members of his own kind or decoys . . . he'll bring his charges down in n field where he has nothing on his mind but lurking hunters. "Crawlers" is a new word coined this fall. I over- heard a hunter commenting on an- other member of the clan and the number of geese he got this sea- son: ''He's not a goose hunter . . he's a crawler".

The total bag 3: geese this past past season runs into the thous- ands. I have one specific hunting section in mind that contributed over 200 geese, or approximately 600 goose dinners, toward cutting down on the meat bill. It takes bet- ter than an average family to clean up on a 10 pound goose at the third sitting. Geese are pretty smart birds but are inclined to forget past miseries once the season closes. We have thousands of geese still with us who will be inclined to relax vigilance slightly once they realize the guns have become silent. It has been A good goose season and all true sportsmen will be satisfied to lay away the old shooting iron till the snow white bunnies dart along the swamp runways. There are hunters on the other hand who will be on the prowl for geese until the honking of the lastrsouth bound flock fades into nothingness. up to all conservationists to assist in 'putting the arm' on such gen- try. , '

some beavers have. already gotten their toes pinched. some have left toes behind and live to have them pinched some other day if they are not careful. Beaver are not too hard to entice into in trap the first time but catch on very quickly as they are brainy animals. One thing is eermln, no trapper is going to make a fortune trapping beaver. Prices for their pelts today is far below what they were eight or ten years ago. As high as 3110.00 per pelt were reached for the extra large ones. known to the trade as Blankets, but today, judging from last season's prices. 835.00 is about tops. Taking kits medium. large and 'blonket' skins, it is doubtful if the price will average over 018.00 per pelt.
