IIOWII TIIE BACK STRETCH Our good friend in Maine. Cecil B. McGinley. co-owner with Bob Ryan of Colonel Dan 2.06 3-5. top money winner of the 1060 Maine racing season. has favored us with one of his very welcome letters containing interesting notes of har- ness horse doings in Houlton and vicinity. which we give you in full: ..”The big news in this section is the sale of the colt Congress bad 3, 2.05 2-5. by Henry Cyr to Dr. L. A. Parmenter of Corinth, N. Y. The price is reported to be 310.000 and I believe this is correct. Henry Uyr is a local boy who operates a small pool room here. He had worked for Will Utton, the Ver- mont trainer. and for various racing stables as a boy. Returning to town. he went into business for himself and saved enough money to buy this colt as a yearling at the Harrisburg sale. paying 5960.00 for him. He broke and trained the cult himself and drove him in most of his races. He is a very likeable chap and everyone is pleased over the good sale he has made. "Bob Ryan ha I very nice two- year-oid filly by Jollity 2.0634. dam, Pine Ridge Norma by Lee Harves- ter 2.1614, for which he refused 31,500.00. She has already shown a mile over the snow in 2.58 and I believe if she had beerutrained at some southern track she would be a sensation. I am going slow with my fillies-. the Federal 2.0iti- Leah Guy 2.0414. filly can show quite I lot but I haven't brushed her any and haven't used boots or hopples yet. There are several nice colts in Jim Smith's stable at Woodstock and when I get time to go over there some morning I will report. Billy Hood has moved to l-loulton with his Watchim colt Frank Adams and I understand is to go to Massachusetts 9. little later. His colt has grown nicely and is a beautiful individual and looks the part of a great colt. "The- morning paper is at hand with the summary of the ice races at Mars Hill, Maine, yesterday. Earl Grattan. one of the winners there. is a tour-year-old by Torch- llght 2.10, out of my brood mare Clarinda Cvrattan 2.12. I sold him without breaking him and he looks as if he would make quite a pacer. He beat Mary Jean 2.11V. I couple oi weeks ago in 21 and 30 seconds for the quarter. and yesterday he was in with Frank Bunter 2.12 4-5 and Steamboat 2.15 2-5. I have always maintained that flag tim- ing gives a horse I couple of sec- onds but even so he is stepping pretty fast. ' "I am in hopes that Rajah Han- over 2.14 fell. into good hands in Cape Breton. I bought him as s. two-year-old. paying 33.000 for him. selling him a short time later at a profit He could trot very fast but had a very sensitive mouth and the next summer I heard that they had a. harsh bit on him .and a kicking strap and although he was second in eight and a fraction. he has never gone where he is capable of.

He has ten yearlings. four colts and six fillies, and fourteen mares of his own in foal to Bell Boy 2.01 ." 1 Thanks. friend Cecil. that is a real success story and we, too, con- gratulate the young owner-trainer Henry Oyr. The sire of that colt, Congressional 2.0434. took his. re- cord on a half-mile track. He is the road to fame sire, having no less than nine 150 Ind he was the 1- Ann mm. which he has named 0tIlAl'lm.:um him at his farm. He flew over to California to see the race. "I have spent most of this first month with Dr. Hagyard and Dr. McGee and Dr. Davidson making contacts and meeting owners and farm managers. As you well know all of these farms here are owned by well off or very wealthy people. It would be of no use for me to commence to tell you just what this horse raising business is like. but I know one thing for sure and that is. these people are just tops to be associated with and to work with and for-they have received me whole heartedly. We are enter- ing probably the busiest time of year-the breeding season. I sup- pose March is the month in which most of the foal crop is produced in Kentucky. Most of the farms are thoroughbred farms and most of the work done from here is on thoroughbreds. However, the Stan- dardbrecl farms are handled from here also. I guess they are all glad to have a Stnndardbred man around. I shall always be inter- ested in that breed. "There is very much to be done with these mares. all are examin- ed the seventh day to see if they are O.K. to breed on the ninth. A very high percentage oi these mares are skipped the first time. Very few if any green mares are bred until they commence to get some green grass which usually comes along the 15th of March. A very large percentage also are cap- suled at the time oi breeding. All of this work is done by veterinar- ians. Records are kept on all mares and a complete history of their breeding records. Many mares produce infected colts if they are not right before being bred. I just wish you could spend a little time here, you could write plenty. There is a student here sent over by the French Govern- ment. He takes some classes from the doctors at the University Stu- dents from all over the world have been here at different times. I guess they figure that right here they are about 25 years ahead of any place as far as breeding horses and veterinary service is concerned. ”Thls organization is very for- tunate to have the services of the A n im al Pathology Department. Parasitology, Bacteriology and oth- er related departments of the Uni- versity of Kentucky. We work very closely together and some valuable research work has been done be- tween this organization and the University with regard to internal parasites of horses, jaundice in foals, Salmonella, Shisella, colin infections and particularly the handling and treatment of such conditions. Many foals are saved by routine blood transfusions. etc. The mares and foals are worth thousands and there's no limit to 66st in the handling of these cases. That is only one phase of this work. when I look back now and think. well, I felt rather secure as far as veterinary work was con- cerned while on P. E. I., but act- ually only the surface has been scratched. I sincerely hope that before long the farmers of P. E. I. will get the veterinary service they are so deserving of. "I have been out to Walnut Hall stud and Walnut Hall Farm, Gainesway and Castleton. Mr. Brown of Walnut Hall Farm and Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Retzman of Gainesway are glad to see a Stan- dardbred man around. it is at Gainesway that Jane Azof: 1.5914. formerly owned by C. I-l. Horton. sonata 2.051,-'1, formerly owned by Dr. F. O. Dougan. and Alcyone 2.09iA. formerly owned by Pic Mc- Cormac. are located. Jane and Alcyone are both bred to King's Counsel 1.58 3-5 and are in foal to him. Sonata is barren and has been shipped to Hanover shoe Farms to be bred there this year. W. H. Cane has some Btandardbred mares at Almahurst, owned by Henry Knight. Although Alma- hurst is now a thoroughbred nur- sery some Standardbreds are still there. Kindly remember me to my friends on P.

Annual Provincial Ice Sports Big Success At The Forum Last Night The Queen square school boys and the West Kent School girls were the winners of their respective divisions in aggregate scoring in the Sixth Annual Provincial Ice Sports that were staged with much suc- cess at the Forum last night under the sponsorship of the Department of Physical Fitness. The Q. 5. 8. boys amassed a total of so points to top out Prince Street Schol with 19 points and West Kent School with 17 points. It was a much closer race in the girls' division with west Kent com- piling a total of 14 points, to just nose out Murray Harbor. Souris and Georgetown who all tied for the runner-up position with 13 points. O'Leary and P. S. 8. tied for for third with 12 points. Malpeque girls placed 6 close fourth with 11 points. Coming up with fast. close com- petition in every event. the team totals were only a side issue as compared with the many keen con- tests for individual honors in the various age groups that came up with some excellent displays of speed and skill in divisions right from the kiddies' events to the sen- ior competitions. In relay competition, the George- town glrls captured the senior girls event with Souris placing second and -West Kent third. while in the boys' open relay. Queen Square were the big winners over Prince Street. In other major competitions. Ralph MacPherson won the boys' quarter-mile open. while Helen Whitlock of W.K.s. took top hon- ors in the girls' division of the same event. Forbes Kennedy of W. K. S. was the top man in the boys' one-mile open event. Handled in expert fashion bv a competent group of officials. the large program of 24 individual ev- ents was rim off in the record time of -one hour. and added greatly to the smoothness and success of the meet. It was a gala evening for specta- tors and competitors alike when a thrill a. second was the order of the night during the many keenly con- tested events.

A moment later an an- swering call sounded from the heavy spruce woods east of the old Home Lake . . . . I scant half mile distant. The two birds, presumably mates, were on the prowl ahuntin' bent and evidently were keeping in touch with each other. 0 O 0 They nest in February and it is quite possible they already have young to feed. Its one of nature's mysteries how the horned owl can lay eggs and start incubation act- ivities in zero temperatures. Old Hootie is a tough bird . . . . make no mistake about that. I figure that I know my Great Horned Owls pretty well and, strange as it may appear to some. I was not thinking of the large numbers of mice they were catching. I was experiencing an honest concern for the Ruffed grouse that hang out in Simon's swale. the pairs of black ducks setting up house keeping at the head of Wisner's Dam and the pheasants wintering in the swamps bordering the lake barrens. 0 0 0 There are several species of owls that are good mousers, particularly the little sawhet and the Screech owl. The Barred owl and the Hawk owl are also beneficial to our farm- ers but both these species are larg- er and stronger than the first named pair and make considerable inroads in the ranks of our bird life. Not so Old Hootie. He is I kill- er de luxe. He'll kill and eat any- thing from a tom-tit to a goose in the feathered world and anything in fur from a meadow mouse to a skunk.

Five black duck wings, remains of num- erous rabbits. Hungarian partridge wins and part of a muskrat were found among I litter of fur. bones and feathers underneath the nest. A few years ago a keen observer of nature told me he had I spring It the rear of his farm where many large trout spawned in November. one fall he noticed that the trout were becoming scarce and investig- ation that a horned owl was the culprit.
