Indiana. where 369 were catalogued; and two sales in 'Ohio, one of which had 121 and the other 36 head. The tremend- ous expansion in breeding farms the past few years has made pos- sible the great number of trotters and pacers now racing. Just re- cently we looked over the 1942 Year Book and compared it with 1947—the difference was startling. ‘It is likely that the harness horse sport will continue increasing as new tracks are opening up in many parts of the United States, notably Phoenix, Arizona. where 62 nights racing will be held Jan- uary 16th to March 18th.

A.. as the following il1ustraies...An ac- tion was brought by a minor, aged thirteen. to recover damages for injuries sustained by ltim as the result of his being kicked by s horse. The facts are that he was walking o: grazing a race horse owned by the Nugents on a. plot of ground near the stables but outside the race track enclosure at Washington Park race track. While in the act of walking this horse the boy was injured by the horse quite severely, chiefly in the head. He had been paid by the Nugents at the rate of fifty cents per horse every two weeks. A com- tfnuous wire fence surrounded the entire property including the stable area. An entire fence div- ided the stable area from the race track enclosure.

The object was to find out their attitude towards the continuance of the two and four year old Futur- ities, which had been voted out at the annual meeting held a few weeks ago. Col. Hooper had oom- piled the opinions expressed and they were favorable to a large de- gree towards the continuance of the fsxvo and four year old Futurit- ics along with the three year old Fwnriii‘.

From November 15th (ill the 17th the big bonkers swarmed in on our north shore in thousands reminis- cent of the old days before the "l grass failure. A few scnttcrcd flocks dropped in during the first 10 days in October but after that there was n 1on1! lull. O O O O Tvvo veteran goose hunfcrs who spent the bcst part of the third “cc-k in November hunting geese in (he Black Banks nren of West Prince reported (he heaviest fnll flight of geese in 14 wars. 0n No- vember 19th there were approxi- mately onc- thousand geese in the Hardy's Channel arcn alone. In addition to this concentration ap- proximately twelve Iiundred birds were observed in flight southward. Those geese were in flocks mim- bcrlng from 50 to 100. They were flying at a high altitude and ap- parently were running n through train. Apart _from the l-lnrdys Channel geese another thousand or better were feeding 1n The Nar- rows and as far West as Alberfon. O O O O The geese in this arca were feeding on eel grass and gave the stubble fields a wide berth. The two goose hunters mentioned came homo without any goose. . . their luck appeared (o bc definitely out.

O O I O As the month draws to a close heavy concentrations of geese have moved into the nearer home feed- ing grounds. 800 geese at least are reported in New London Bay and another concentration numbering close to a thousand are feeding in Tracadie Buy. I sew a portion of the Tracadle geese early this week. I picked them up with field glasses as the day was misty nd visibil- ity poor. Approxlmat y 500 were feeding in a long, bobbing black strlngHsbout midway between the mouth of Winter River and the Black Marsh under McKinnonh. This bunch were well up toward the head of the Bay. I failed to 1o- cste any birds off the Black Bush or MacNabb‘s. but they may have been there. The Black Bush is sit- uated on the Inside of the range of sand hills that seperates Trac- adie Bay from the Gulf. O O O For some reason or other the geese seem to favour the eel grass beds along the North Shore.

With the two teams having bat- tled one another to a standstill 1n the first four games of lhe series, the SD11. squad had the advantage on the play yesterday. with fullback Joe Mailette making a beautiful 30-yard broken fir-id run to score for the Saints in the closing min- utes of M16 first half, with Lcdwcll kicking (he convert to put them ahead by s five-point margin which they held for the remainder of the game Although the University squad won out by s. five-point margin, the gantu was fur fwcr. being one sided, with the Welshmen coming within a few feet of scoring on ilircv or four occasions in the final minutes of the game. as well as having their opportunities at various starzes throughout (the encounter. The Col- legians also had to go into the encounter minus the services of two valuable members of the team, namely George Maclfae. a hard- working three-quarlcr man and Fred “Buzz" Hlue. husky P.W.C. forward. The former wus out of the game due to a slight illness while the latter is suffering from a head injury received in a previous game. In the first half the teams bat- tled it out at close quarters for the first few minutes around centre field with P.W.C. nearly scoring at the three minute mark on a dribbling play which took ‘he bnl! over their opponents’ touch line, only to lose possession of the ball. The game for (he next five minutes or more fcaturcd a regular spree of penalty kicks with S.D.U. getting three and P.W.C. four during which time the Saints kept forcing the play deeper and deeper into the Welnbmews zone. The We-ishmen then forced the play back to their opponents’ territory temporarily. only (o have Johnny Cash move the play back again on a nice run- ning and kicking play which wok them down to (he P.W.C. 25-yard line. O'Brien, rugged S.D.U. for- ward, was ordered out of the game at this point by referee lVlcCallum for misconduct and was replaced by Art lifacDonald. O'Brien was al- lowed to go back into (he game in the second half, however.

Ledwell con- verted the try on a nice kick from about 20 yards out from an almost straight-away position. The saints started forcing the play again early in the final half. and were keeping the play most of the time in P.W.C.'s zone until about the seven-minute mark. vuhen the game was held up for about ton minutes. The holdup was caused when Weir, P.W.C. forward. receiv- ed a nasty gash on the head from a cleated boot while low-tackling a.n opponent, and had to be taken out of the game, with C.
