Cain, asking for an adjournment. Murphy, who hails from Prince Eduard Island, plead- ed not guilty to two charges of breaking, entering and stealing from the vbakery of George McLaggan and the restaurant of Fraser Thor- bllfn at McAdam. His two pals Al- lison Murphy and Burton Folland pleaded guilty to the same charg- es and also to one of’ theft and were also remanded until February 2nd for sentence Fredericton Gleaner.

Thcy were found to improve thc stride of the troticr and madc many a mixed gaited performer steady on the trot. The most not- able cxamplc was the champion trottcr smuggler. 13y thc use of toe weights and heavy slices each of which on his front feet weighed almost two pounds, this horse bc- came the champion trot-ting stai- lion of his day. Had Smuggit-r bccn raced in our time he would have no doubt been converted to a pacer and there is no question but that he would with his splendid courage and disposi- tion have gone very far and fast, probably been bcttcr than a two minute pacer. The influence of thc bike suiky introduced in 1892. on the trottcr, is aptly lllliSlYRLPd by the case of Nancy Iidlll/l-S 2.04, worlds cham- pion trottcr of her day. The best she could do to thc high whccicd sulky was 2.09, but hitched to a crude bikc made by attaching thc wheels of a. bicycle to a high whccl- cd suiky she reeled off a mile in 2.04. There is no question that were she hitched to thc present day bike she would have beaten that figure by about four seconds. It was the introduction of the bike sulky that enlarged the 2.10 list so very great- ly since i892. Another factor which has made for faster time is the system of racing which now prevails on prac- tically all racc tracks, namely, the two in three, or the ihrcc heat plan. Under thc till-co and flvc system horses were traincd more for endurance and loss attention was paid to speed development. with the result that time was slowed by several seconds. From the time that thc shorter system of racing was introduced progress was rapid and such stars as Cresccus 2.02, The Harvester 2.01M, Hamburg Bcli 2.01M, Si. Frisco 2.01%» and Mabel 'I‘rask 2.03, made it apparent that a two min- utc performer ivas on thc way.

Volo Rico 2.04, is now a member of the James Power stable of Char- lottetown, passing out of the pos- session of the former owner, Col. D. A. MacKinnon. Volo Rico is in his ninth year and has performed capabiy ever since a. three year old when he was one of the outstand- ing pacers of America. As a four year old he held thc world's record of 2.05 ovcr ll. half mile track. He paced in the fastest company, win- ning a heat in the $25,000 Ameri- can Derby and was looked on as a. two minuic possibility. 1n 193! he was purchased by Col. Mac- Kinnori and on arrival here was found to b: suffering from lame- ncss. It. seemed iITiPOSSllJiQ to locate the cause but finally it ivas found to be due to striking back his leg in thc stall. The stall was padded and thc trouble disappeared. Under thc MacKinnon colours he raced at Charlottetown and Hail- fax in 193i, being second to Eula H. in the Free For All and pacing the third heat in 2.08%., which is the fastest third heat. ever paced over the Charlottetown track and the fastest third heat paced in the Maritime Provinces in 193i. Last year he showed good form, going easy miles in 2.10 until about thren weeks previous to the Exhibition when he caught cold and from that on was not in form.

Nearly every year the stable was a consistent win- ner, racing against other stables with the pick of lvfaritimc horses and making a good showing, at times being thc leading winners. ‘Among thc horses we iccall that have been members of the Mac- Kinnon Stables arc. starting in 1912, Miss Rrxull, Iona Girl 2.19M.

Dr. Sharper 2.15%. was probably the most erratic horse that was ever raced in these parts. He ar- rived in a. carload of horses at Montreal from the West in the fall of 1911 and was purchased by a hotel keeper there for a small stun". He was hooked up in a. cutter and the owner with another horseman started for a. sleigh drive. Sharper ran away with them, smashing the sleigh and he was not recovered until the next day. He was then wld to a barber ll-l North Sydney. who was keen on horses. The night after his arrival at North Sydney, he was hitched to a Waggon and the owner started out of the yard with him, but had forgotten to Open the gate. Sharper went over the gate and‘ left tile Waggon and harness behind. After that he was turned over to Stein Purvis for training. Stein never drove hlin on the roads as that was an impossi- bility, but kept him at the rac: track. Stein ivas a very powerful mail and fashioned a special pair of reins to drive Sharper with. which drew his head up when you pulled him. He raced him at. Hali- fax that year and won a great betting race against Devilish Doro- thy and other horses, Sharper tsk- ing a record of 2.1913. In the spring of 1913 he was purchased by thc MacKinnon Stables and the own- er and a friend decided they would take a drive with him. not know.- lng what a wild animal he was. Ho acted very well until hsstruck thc Mount Edward Road, then started to rim away 0n the not. Finally hu- was stopped by heading him into the woods. The waggon was smashed and Sharper was led home minus it. After that he took his preliminary training alongside will have thcvery best of success. an automobile and was in fair shape when he struck the track. When hooking him up it, was necessary to have one at, the head, one at each side harnessing and another holding up the sulky quite high, otherwise it would be kicked to pieces.
