It was a. wonderful spring day and the sun shining on his goldrm coat made a wonderful sight, oar- ticulurly as his great flowing mane and tail were coal black. Mr. Thrower appeared to me a bit ama- teurish with the horse and I sug- Bésted that he put a kicking strap on him as he seemed a bit lively ivith his heels. "N0 need of it," said he, and after a couple of warming heats he trumped a mfle in 2.12 l-2 with the last half iii 1.02 1-2 so easy that it was siinpw buggy riding.

Then again his dam Polly Bars was not, as we mentifmed bell-Ire. 0f very fashion- able ancestry, the Monbars being. considered a bit hot in the head and not too stout at the fln’sh. Whether this is true o1‘ not it did not show up in Grattan Bars as he was a lion of a horse 1n a race. Then again that may be clue to the inherited from Grattan Royal. who was a son oi Grattan and a Robert McGregor mare. We all know Rob- ert McGregor was called the "Mon- arch of the Home Stretch," and he imparted that qualities to his de- scendants, notably Cresceus 2.02 1-4, world's champion stallion, and oth- ers right down to our own local Heatherbeli. who was by McGregor the Great, whose dam was 0f the Robert McGregor tribe.

Five distinct blasts occurred, ai- though the niunber heard by citi- zens var‘ed from two to six, as first the big plane's gasoline tanks ex- ploded followed by the deep roar of two 250-pound bombs and a number of 25-poundcrs. The barks resembled the reports of big coast- nl defence guns. A statement issued by the east- ern alr command said only two of the planes crew of four were in- jured and they suffered only slight scratches when the plane ran off a runway, caught fire and blew up. According to unofficial reports, the men ran for cover when they found they were unable to extinguish the fire. Aboard the plane were sgt. Doug- las Francis Qulrt, Peterborough. Ont., the pilot: Sgt. Donald Fsle Mclnnls, Iroquois, Ont., the navi- gator; Sgt. Harold Fulford Taylor, Harold, Ont.. air gunner, and Lac. Gordon Clark Merrill, St, ‘Thomas, Ont., wireless operator. Taylor and Merrill were the injured men. The explosions occurred at d a m. While most of the city slumber- ed, but the number awakened by the blasts was indicated by the fact that telephone operators in the city's two newspaper offices were kept busy for two hours answering queries as to the cause of the noise.
