The skunk consumes large quantities of .h.;mfu.1gruhs but he also digs out the nests of bank swallows by the hundreds every June. and patrols the sand dunes till the common tern is driven to nesting on in- nnd pasture fields or on top of pmngs around seaward bridges. etc. In places like Brackley Beach. South Lake. Morrison's geach, etc.. where the eggs of terns could be counted in hand- reds before the advent of tho gkunk, a single nest is now a rarity. Such interference with Nature's balance is bound to have unfav- ourable repcrcuuions. As men- tioned earlier no move of any kind whether it be a Crow Con- test or something else. ever pleas- ed everyone. I have heard farmers sing a g-row's praise till they raided their chicken coop or pulled up an acre of corn or a few bushels of potato sets and than their tune abruptly changed. Three young hunters of my ac- quaintance related to me an inci- dent. that happened last Wednes- day afternoon. They were out in quest of crows and to get some fresh air and exercise in the pro- .-ess oi crow hunting. They were three mannerly chaps and while walking along the edge of a hay- oeld they passed a friendly time of day with a farmer cultivating turnips on the opposite aide of the lance. He was sitting on the cul- t:vator which was hitched to a team of horses. Maybe the heat of the day was getting him down for his face was a fiery red and his reply was in keeping with his complexion: "Fly to h... out of here. Who gave you permission to shoot crows on this property'."' The elder oi the trio elected himself as spokesman. He had an idea that they were across a line lence and asked this question: itMister. is this your land we're on?" "What difference does that make?" .”It makes all the differ- rnce in the world" was my friend's reply: "if we're on your on your property we'll leave at once. if we are not then the farm- er who owns it can decide wheth- er we are causing any damage.” I asked the boys whit he said to that. "Nothing". was their re- ply. "He just turned his little two wheeled chariot and went off down the drills." Politeness never does any harm even if used in connection with ordering hunters :3 009'! DIOPGIW. Sometimes a lun ' works and sometimes it Jioun t. Knowing those hunters as I do I don't thiii: they'll ever do lnythlnl to worsen farmer-sports. """ "1'u0'1-imp if given hall a chance.

Race No.3 had eleven starters and one of the best trotting prospects for years showed up in Guy H". vester. owned and driven by Fred Reeves of Summeraide. Guy is by Slmcoe Harvester and his dam is Ima See. He was trained at Char- lottetown for unversl years and showed considerable speed but did not seem to be able to carry it. Last winter Mn. Reeves brought him down. to the Maritime Ice Championships stnd won the trot- ting trophy. having albig edge on his competitors. This year quite a number of rdports have come out of the west about this horse but were discounted by' the fact that Mr. Reeves lives seven miles from the Summazrside track and the only way he could get there was by truck as'thc road is paved. but despite that good use was made of the soft: roads in the vic- inity by the astute Mr. Reeves and when the word Go was given in the first dash ho marched straight to the front and never looked back. stepping in 2.10 M5-mighty good going for the heavy wind. He also won the second and third heaia from beliind from a good bunch of pacers and a trotter. Interesting to many will be the fact that his diam. Ima See, was out of Ima Guy. a mare brought here some years ago by Willard Kelly when he also brought down Kalmuck 2.1525. She was in foal to Kalmuck and Ima Sec was the result. Ima Guy was a daughter of Guy Axwortlhy 2.08Va and the rcdcubtable racr: mare Ima Jay 2.04Va that held the world's record for an eight hizat race trotting. She was one of the toughest mares that ever steppc-.d on their Grand Circuit and her name and that of her driver and -owner. Harvey Er- nest. will go down inseparsbly through the yours. In the first heat of the rate we liked Daisy Budlong and the nice drive given her by George .'McIntyre.

Eddie Coles of Mayheld was probably the happiest man at Park View when little Buddy Clegg that he has been training and bringing along so carefully this season. rewarded his efforts by winning the tint and second heats and taking a record of 2.19 ms. Buddy showed real speed in the first quarter of thenrst dash, step- via; to that marker in 31 I 5. In the third best a broken apple spoiled his chances of a possible win. Another pacer we liked very much was Bessie Budlong. owned by A. Boston. Flat River. and well driven by Leo Collins. She has a lot. of class. Slmcoe Peter, owned and driven by L. Baglole. went a nice heat and took a record of 2.21 M5. The four-year-old Nor- me Grattsn, owned and driven by L. Pettigrew. was a good second to Buddy Clegg in the first and fastest heat. An unfortunate ac- cident was the death of the prom- laing pacer British Hal. owned by John T. MacLeod, Bradalbane. It was thought that he swallowed his tongue as he seemed to be staggering for quite a piece. This same thing happened two horses at the Charlottetown race track, one in a workout and one in a race recently. It was no fault of the trainer or driver in any of these cases. When a horse exhib- its a tendency to do this the usual practice is to tie his tongue. but some horses will not race this way and chances have to be taken. Our congratulations to other winners at Park View. viz: Har- old Stead the first two heats of race No. 1 with 0. U. Volo. and Dr. Preston Mclntyre and driver Leo Collins for winning the third heat in this event with MissCom- manclo. Also to owner-driver Sam Kennedy for winning the last two heats of race No. 2 with Jean l-len- ley and stepping the fastest heat of.the afternoon-2.l53X4-and to Linus Mulligan and driver Teddy Weir for winning the first heat of race No. 2 with Tiny Budlong 2.12. We note where the Sydney free for all pacers were visitors at the Sackvi1le,Raceway near Halifax. on Wednesday, and as expected took away the largest share of the tl,000 Free For All, Scott Spencer (Harrison) winning all three heats and Vella La Vella (MacDonald) 2-2-2. Judd. Crusad- er Chief and Victory Dale were 3-4-5 in the summary. best time 2.11. At the last two race meets in Cape Breton Vella La Vella was able to head Scott Spencer, but the latter is now evidently back in form and is turning the tables on her. Laurie 0'Bricn's Colleen Adam. one of the best bred mares in the Maritimes, seems to have taken a new lease nesday at Halifax with 1-1-2; with Sweeney. 2.22. then Marlene C. came on and won the next two heals and race.

She was owned then and is still owned by Samuel Walker of Halifax and has. we understand. raised several foals. ' A steady trek of visiting horse- men are making their way to the stall at the Charlottetown track occupied by Argot Pointer 2.00 (U5. a six-year-old stallion by the California sire Pegasus Pointer. Coal black and shining like a silk hat with perfect symmetry of form. he is certainly a handsome sight. We congratulate owner Hor- ace B. Willis for having the pluck and enterprise to buy this horse and we feel conndcnt he will make the headlines. Of course as we said about Josedaie Clipper coming from Johnny Conroy's stable, we can repeat the same thing about any horse coming from Billy Hood's stable-one could expect him to be in apple pie order. Argot Pointer has winnings of 34.654 charged up against him and is eligible to the 2.17 pace. Billy Hood explained to Mr. Willis that the Pointer horse had not been "driven any fast miles although he had been trained 90 heats. He advised a couple of tune-up trips before cutting him loose. One of these was given him on Thursday. the first quarter in 30 aeconda.the half in 1.013 N5. the three-quart- era in 1.42 and the mile in 2.13 with the last eighth in 15 seconds. with driver Willis wearing a broad smile at the finish.
