SPEED BROUGHT IN Last fall as usual when the 15th annual auction was on at Harris- burg. Pa.. November 9th. there were quite I few Maritimers to bid on or buy one or more of the over 900 trotters and pacers cutti- logucd. Some top performers were purchased but the number bought was not nearly as many as the previous year. At the Lexington sale which was held two weeks before Harrisburg. R. J. Loguc, prominent auto dealer and horse- man of Sydney. N. S., bought pri- vately the yearling pacing colt Banner Way, by King's Counsel 1.58. dam, Direct Lady 4. 2.07 SM by Billy Direct 155. The sire. Kingls Counsel. was one of the greatest pacers of all time and the dam, Direct Lady. was the winner of 40 races in Canada. Banner Way is R magnificent in- dividual and was one of the most highly regarded colts in the on- He. with three others purchased by Mr. Logue. and Prince Maplccroit MB. are now At the training tum of Sanders Russell, Stevenson. Als- buua. in charge of Wendy Carroll. Mag:-ltimers will be hoping that the heavily staked Banner Way will make the headlines in 1954. Acting for his patron, Jack Curran, well known contractor of Summerside, Don MncNelll bought the four-year-old pacer Honest. Abbe 2.06 U5, privately at Harris- burg. As he was one of the stars of the sale it. must have taken I lot of money to separate him from the owner, particularly as he is one of the best bred young stallions racing today. His sire is Chief Abbedsle 2.00. sire of this year's sensational pacer H. 3. Chief 1.58 N5. and his dam is' Honest Truth 4, 2.05, and Honest Abbe is her first foal. Her sire is Blackstone 4, 1.59 1M, sire of 14 in 2.05 including Royal Black- stone 1.58 315. and her dam is the noted race mare and brood mare Abbe M. 2, 2.07 3H (h.m.t.) the dam of Pleasant Surprise 3. 1.58 U2.

Frank Jackson 2.02 U5. that was a cripple for three years And this season took his record At Lexington. stepping the last quarter in the phenomenal time of 21 W5. Abbe M. is the dam of five in 2.06 and her dam was the noted race more and brood mare Beile Mahone 212 IM, dam of seven in 2.10. Honest Abbe was one of the best pacer! of the Maryland circuit this year and he inok his record of 2.06 US over a field of nine other nacers and in doing so nosed out the almost un- beatahie pacer Billy's Lady. He was timed in 2.04 2A5 in a race in which he was second to Ban- ner Direct 2.01. A pacer with an even faster re-g cord than Honest Abbe is Walter l-lcnnessey's Royal Value 4, 2.0-i W5. also bought privately at Hai- risburg. He took his record at Roosevelt this season driven by Joe O'Brien, who recommended him to Mr. Hcnnessey, and his total all time earnings are 521,- 884va pretty nice hunk of money for 8 four-year-old. He is by Royal Napoleon p. 2.00 SM. sire of 12 in 2.05. and his grandslre was Napoleon Direct p. 1.59 (V4. Royal Value's dam is Miss Abbie Dillon 2.09 dam of two others in 2.10, and her sire was the family found- er,-Ahbedalc 2.01 1H.

Time was I lot of bidding on him and he was finally knocked down to J. Henry Dewitt "of Woodstock. N. B. for 33.500. We asked our friend Henry how he came to pay so much money for this Particular horse and he said that he hap- pened to be passing and saw a group of men looking him over.
