"l wanted to make sure that lllS muscles were well flexed." said O'Brien in explaining the extra wrong way miles preceding the last two spins. It was at the end of the 2.15 mile that O'Brien deter- mined that his colt wasn't quite rirhl Butch Hanover trailed in (hi: mile and in a final quarter in 10 2-5. Butch gained on Scott Frost and was even with him at the finish line. "if Scott had been com- pleicly right." said O'Brien. "Hutch could never have caught him." "When starter Steve Phillips sent them away the first time, O'Brien rushed to the front with Leopold Hanover second, Wayahead third and Butch Hanover fourth.

Leopold Hanover owned .by Mrs. Charlotte De Van, of Hanover, Pa. and driven by Johnny Simpson. Perfectly placed throughout the mile, Leopold got loose after they passed the three quarters and set sail for the leader. Actually, although the margain was drawn to a half length at the end. there was never any doubt in any- one's mind that it was Scott Fraser heat as he rattled off a final quarter in 29 seconds." We leave our readers to imagine the joy in the Sol Camp Stable!!! Adios. the harness horsenlsire re- cently sold in Hanover Shoe Farms of Hanover, Penn., for 5500.000. established a new record price for harness horses. Previous to that in 1891 .1. Malcolm Forbes of M11- ton. Mass.. bought the 2-year-old world's record trotter Arion 2.10 3-4 to high wheels for 8125.000 and in 1951 Hanover Shoe Farms paid 5125.000 for the 3-year-old' pacer Tar Heel. Adios held several world's records during his racing career in the early 1940's but as a stallion has proved an unequalled producer of pacers. Last year his progeny averaged 511,288 at standard bred sales with Noble Adios bringing 534.000 What has really turned the spotlight on him was the setting up of a new world's pacing record in a race hy the 4-year-old Adios Harry at Vernon Downs. N. Y., time 1.55. Last year Adios Harry was the winner of the 570.000 Little Brown Jug pacing classic. Others of his progeny are setting up world's records this year.

GQIa!)M!1fI Hunters' Corner dutrk would break a leg by stepping . off a stone or in making a sloppy' landing, I have one specific creek in mind where over one hundred (ducks had gathered over a period of two weeks. One day they were missin and not a single duck came in that afternoon or evening. A farmer told me he hadiheard some shots off in that direction for several even" but thought it was someone iooting crows. The Hun and pheasant crop shows an increase over last year. I have reached the conclusion that a single factor has more to do with holding our Hun and pheasant population down then hunting, predators or weather. Of the three causes of mortality sportsmen are, the birds least worry. The weather is bad when it really hits but some years it is not a factor. The single factor I have in mind is baymowers. The nest destruction this summer during haying oper- ations bordered on the disastrous side of the ledger. The use of balers is becoming wide spread. Farmers who used to cut a few acres at a time and cure it in the old fashioned manner now slash (down as much as 20 acres at a lick and put a baling machine to work. The hay can be cut on the green side and saved with Swaps Will more hay saved in this manner content. I have talked in a large number of farmers since haying was completed and only the odd one reported no nest. losses observed. A distresslngly large numt re- ported as high as three For instance: A farmer at Keppoch told me be destroyed three pheas- ant nesia while cutting 15 a-ires of hay while a farmer at Southpurt just a few miles distant as the crow flies. reported three nests destroyed two Huns and one pheasant. Incidentally the mower cut both legs off the hen. She flew away but returned later to the nest site and died. , The breakdown shows an average of 1 1-2 nests per farm checked reported destroyed. There could be as many more cut over and ruined without being observed. Unless the mother bird is on the nest at the time the mower passes over it would not be noticed in heavy hay and they build where the cover in best. Foxes. skunks, prowling house cats, etc. have I habit of following hedge rows and dykes. To off set this danger Huns often make their nests in the middle of a 10 acre field. They don't appear to get wise to the haymower menace.
