Mr. Dawson was one of the Klondykc veterans 0f the trail of 1898. Through his courage and fortitude he made a "stake" and returned liome where he went into {arming and soon made a name for hini- self. He was particularly fond of horses and bred and raced sonic of the best colt trotters and pac- ers in recent years. also cam- paigned several good aged horses. He was always good company and was welcomed for that quality wherever he went. A few years ago he made the Charlottetown Driving Park his training head- quarters and liis “stall" was the meeting place for thc “gang" and many were the tales he told of the stirr ng days of "08" and his ex- periences "rnusfiing it" over the 2.- 000 miles that led to his goal. His judgment with horses was good and he usually supervised the training of his stable. Always cheerful and thoughtful of others he made hosts of friends and har- ness horse racing here will be poorer indeed by his death. He was laid to rest on Thursday. his funeral being largely attended. ioi Mr. A. B.
