For theljoint account of Earle and H. M. Fry of New York. he has that sensational trotter of last win- ter's training colony, Fez Rose- croft. This horse is one of the best trotters Earle has ever band- led and he and Mr. Fry refused several tempting offers for him and as is so often the case under these circumstances. the horse went laml: fortunately it was not of a permanent nature and he is now reported sound and ready to train. With no further misfortune we will hear more of this one a few months from now. It. certainly is gratifying to his many friends to see his marked ability recognized by so many prominent owners. We all knew that Earle could handle a horse to perfection and go a short mile but this recognition of his colt training ability is a direct result of his outstanding successes with the get of Pleasantdale Farms and others that he took green, broke, trained and drove to re- cords better than 2.10.

CHARLOTTETOWNA Hunters corner (Continued from Page 18) pocket. All went well until her Ludyship decided it tasted so good she'd sample one of his fingers. They've got sharp teeth. every bit as sharp as s rabbits. for like a rabbit. they eat browse when the snow covers the succulent grasses and other forms of vegetation. For all their apparent friendliness they weren't taking any chances. if one model a quick move or at- tempted to lay hantu on one it was ten feet away in a single bound. We were rather surprised to learn that there was only one buck in the lot and he was the puniest member of the herd. As we walked to where the car was parked night shadows were beginning to fall. the snow sang a frosty tune beneath our boots and our cheeks and cars tlngled as the thermometer dropped swiftly. A cold night was in prospect but we had no fears for the welfare of these four footed aliens to our shores. They'd be as warm and comfortable bedded down in a snowy thicket as we would be un- der blankets in a heated house. Mother Nature looks after her children in her own way-n. way that makes us poor humans with all our scientific knowledge. sit up and wonder. This is the season of the year when one. if he is so minded. can take stock of how many pheasants. Huns, Ruffed grouse. etc. have come through the hunting season and ascertain what our prospects of sport with any particular spec- ies are for the hunting in 1952. A fresh fall of snow makes a ready blackboard. one doesn't have to see the live bird or animal to know that it is somewhere in the vicinity if its footprints are visible. The hunters-who expressed a fear when the pheasant season was announced. October lat. till November llth. that it was too long and would result in this spec- les being shot out. or nearly so, had their worries for naught. There are lots of pheasants left. Even in several heavily hunted areas it's not unusual to see as many as five cocks in one bunch. Last week a farmer confided to me that he had two covey's of pheasants on his farm and he didn't think there was a bird shot out of either. He was quite positive that a flock of 12 at the rear of his property was intact but wasn't so sure a a covey of eight or nine at the front. of his farm hadn't. lost one of its members. Another farmer in the Royalty expressed surprise that a bird so highly coloured and large as a cock pheasant could hide so easily and effectively. He stated that the birds in his dis- trict. desplte heavy hunting by both resident and nonresident gunners. were not only holding their own but actually increasing in numbers. Evidence keeps piling up that the pheasant is far from being a desirable character. Within a week Eight Cleveland Players in Army CLEVELAND.

St. eee The pheasants that ate the duck eggs picked the contents out of a hole made in one end Just like a crow does or a barnyard biddy that has taken to egg eating. The one that had the young rabbit was hanging it around like a hen does when it catches a mouse. This farmer came upon the bird in an open patch in his woodlot and the old cock lost the rabbit when it tried to run through some close growing bushes. The duck heat was destroyed at West Royalty and the rabbit killed in the Montague area. 0 I O The pheasant is not a sporting bird in the accepted sense of the trrm but is tops when dished up on a platter. A young cock makes frr delicious eating. By young I mean anything up to two years old. An old timer with spurs an inch long and sharp as lances had better be steamed or par-boiled before roasting. I am willing to admit that next to the honking of a flock of wilclgeese a big multi- coloured cock pheasant bursting f:om cover with the throttle wide coon and cackling his head off is next in line of sporting thrills. HOl'.'eVt'r, will the delicious meat that rounds out his spacious frame and the thrill of his caclrling take- off compensate for the harm he allegedly does to other species of valuable game?
