He is a hard worker and his charges all look gocd. George Thompson. whose Babe Britten took a new record of 2.09243 last season, has Babe out every day giving her slow miles and we hope to see her take an even faster record this year.

Aaron L. 2:05',-'.- :ind several others. Don is also training for George. Brookins. Pe- ier Clegg. and three more are ex- ltortcd to arrive in the near fu- ture from the Brookins farm at hrnsington. "Reg. Sonier has the trolier Frisco the Great 2:18',v2. that showed miles in 2114 last year, and it won't be a bit surprising if he takes a record there this )car as he looks mighty good. Ralph Baglole is giving slow miles to a four-year-old pacer own- ed by Roland Sheen. It has a Very slick way of going and is well liked. The sire is Abbe W'orthy 2:05.

Ray, .ind congratulations on your being elected secretary of the Owl's Club. Judging from the above there will be a lot of horses in training in Prince County, for in addition to the above there will be a big contingent from 0'Leary. Alberton and nearby points. Tig- nish and all the way down to Hunter River and New Glasgow, which has been the ice racing center of the province this year. A lot of surprises came out of Prince County in 1952 nnd no doubt there will be even more this year. Teddy Weir, well known train- er and race driver of this city. has taken over the training of the stable of Alderman Stan Cieary of North Sydney. We congratulate Mr. Cleary because he has secured the services of one of the best men in the business. Many will remember when Heath- erbeli. twelve years old and prac- tically through racing, with ii record of 2:10, was put in Teddy's charge.' He conditioned him well that winter and spring that be lowered the track trotting re- cord at Montague several times and placed it where it has since remained at. 2:08'.i, lowered the track record at Charlottetown to 2:08li. and defeated the fastest trotter in Maine and several oth- ers at Fredericton. Practically all the credit; for this horse's per- formance could go to Teddy. Among other horses that he has had great success with we can mention Giftline 2:l0',i, Miss Vic- toria 2:14'.1 and dozens of others. He is R first-class driver, knows when to make his move and can nurse along a horse and get the very best out of him. Our best wishes go to Mr. Cleary and Teddy for a successful 1953 sea- son. u o Joe MacDonald of Sydney Mines. the man who has handled Veils La, Veils. 208 it and other horses so eapably the past few years. is getting ready one of the highest priced horses ever brought to the Maritime: - Josedale Clanaman - that was knocked down to the bid of Arthur Lipton, Sydney, at the Harrisburg sale for 86,200. In con- versat.-ion with B. horseman from Sydney at Monoton in. few weeks ago we were told that trainer Joe likes the Clansman very much and believes that he has what the owner paid for - it real good pacer, This season he will be four years old and has never been hurt. Everything is in him. His sire, Dick Reynolds i.5Dy., is also the sire of Andrew Pei-ryls Dick Eris, 2.04 '.is, one of the gamcst little pacers that ever faced a starter.

The names of those: who took part in the hunt and the places mentioned will be of more interest to local readers. Harvey Trenholm, from Muddy Creek. west of Summerside, is the man who introduced the sport of fox hunting in my home district when.I was a merestripllng Just beginning to cut my eye teeth as a. hunter. Dixie, the famous fox hound that figured in this hunt. was purchased from Mr. Tren- lioim. .

Here is one for the book: Vonclure Gay was 96 on February 23.1-d....Jusl. four years short of the 100 mark. It's not only Old Soldiers who never die. , - It was a cold day we picked for the hunt. The January dawn was beginning to break as we drove down the Klondyke Road toward out meeting place at Uncle wil- lie's. Seal River. and the runners .01 the straw-filled wood sleigh creaked B. frosty tune. We found out at hunt'.s end that the ther- mometer never dropped under seven degrees below zero all day. As Vonclure commented in his characteristic manner: ”If I had known that I'd have frozen to death." ' The leash was slipped from Dix- ie at Newtown approximately six miles south and east of seal River. A light ground drift of frost crys- talled snow in the morning made tracking conditions next to im- possible and the hours passed without an opening bugle from Dixie. About 10.30 in the morning we "blled" the kettle in it. shelter- ed niche in the rocky cliffs near the mouth of Potree' Creek. The ham sandwiches and apple pie were frozen but the strong black tea was plenty hot. we made ar- rangements for "Ding" to follow with the horse and sleigh the never actively hunted). while the five of us struck off to the south on foot. Tracking conditions were improved somewhat and at Halli- dsiy's old Dixie gave vent to the first deep bugle that heralded the opening of the ball. We all listened in silent rapture as the trail was unravelied but started into active life as Dixie opened up with R airing of deep throated howls and roars that told plainer than words that he was only a few jumps henind the gen- tleman with the black stockinged legs. It didn't take us lonr to re- alize that the fox we started was an old timer. He circled in the woods back of Eldon and then struck south and west until the haying of the bound faded into nothingness and the winter woods lapsed into deep silence. I followed hard on the trail but there was no sound to indicate whence the bound and his quarry had betaken themselves.- I stop- ped momentarily where a farmer was chopping in the woodlot. "Did you see a fox and bound pan here?" ''I did that." was his com- ment. and then with I rather amused glint in his eye added: "They were going 'Hell for Hug- gerty'-you'll never catch up with them". I followed the trail where Continued on page 7 THE MARK OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS HAT UNMISTAKABLY 5 AN AIR OF SUCCESS!

The Islanders can do no worse than finish four points behind the League leading 1-laligonlans and they could land in first place on a points basis. However as far as the play-offs go they will still be the second place team because they have scored fewer goals than the Atlantlcs. Centrei-nan "Hub" Beaudry was the hero of last night's win. The hard working forward scored two goals and assisted on two more. Gary Gordon. Marcel Clements and Chuck Holdaway were the other Island rnarksmen. The Bowness, Gould. Laufman string took care of the scoring for the visitors. Bowness tallied twice and Gould accounted for the other goal. The Watson, Ford, Campbell line played smart hoc- key for Halifax although kept off the score sheet. The game marked the return of big Steve Brklacich to action following a three week lay-off with a hand injury. Brklaclch was still wearing a cast on his hand but the big. driving def nseman played a strong game along with his defence mate Gus Gustaveson. Billy Purcell and Brian Lewis. two of Charlottetown's better junior players. lined up with the Islanders and turned in good performances. Purcell played defense and picked up two assists while Lewis played centre. Halifax led 2-1 at the end of a rather listless first period but the Islanders came back strong in the second frame to go ahead 4-2. Both teams split a goal in a very well played third period. The game was devoid of much Victory Over SYDNEY, (GP)-Glace Bay Min- era pounded out a. 7-4 will over Sydney Millionaires Friday night in their last appearance here of the Maritime Major Hockey League season.

Playing before a handful oi fans. Miners took a 3-1 lead at the end of the first, added two more in the second while Mills picked up one, then split four third period markers.
