It was filled with friends including large num- bQrs of horsemen from all over the Marititnes. The many floral tributes and the large funeral which was preceded by the Legion Band and Legionalres. as well as the hundreds oi spectators who lined the streets, testified to the high regard in which Ed was 11916. and rightly so, for he was a most generous and kindly man. For over a down years Ed offic- iated as starter at most .01. the races held over the Island vals and his fairness to all was just another evidence oi his fine character. During his long illness he was ever cheerful and he went a-way from us in the same brave. kindly way.

Officials of the Dominion and Provincial Governments and the Canadian Olympic brass-hat ed. ministration pretty well let the boys and girls fend for themselves. Before the games Canada House gave a reception to the Canadian athletes. There were soft. and even hard. drinks and delicious dalntles on the tables. But the timing of that affair could have been better. ‘The re- ception was held late in the after- noon and the athletes returned to camp tee late far dinner and with a day's training shot to pieces. "Bless them. they really put on a show." said one athlete.
