They Are Not Excitable--All The Horses In His Brigade Are Ameri. can or Canadian Trotters, "American and Canadian trotting- bred horses have proved far superior to any other breed as war horses," is the opinion of a Canadian horse man, who is now a major of a Cana- dian field artillery brigade "some- where in France." In a letter to Secretary Gocher of the National Trotting Association, the officer who expresses his opinion is Major D. A. McKinnon, of Charlottetown, P.E.L, and widely known as owner of trot- ters, of which he still has some that will be trained and raced this year. "I have been out here over two years," writes Major McKinnon, un- der date of March 3rd, "and being in charge of an artillery brigade, have passed through® many stirring ineci- dents, and fully expect' more as time draws closer. We are all proud to see our American cousins getting closer to us, and feel supremely con- fident they will make splendid sol- diers .and fighters at our side. "All the horses in my brigade are American or Canadian trotting bred, and experience bas convinced us all that in point of endurance and be- havior on the actual firing line they are the best cpllectfon, showing not the least signs of being nervous or excitable like the thoroughbred and the half-bred. ; "Keep up the good work of National Trotting Association for the advancement of the trotting horse, the very best for all purposes, tried and true. To us who know horses and have been on the firing line through thick and thin, it sounds ridiculous to read what some people say about the passing of the horse, for you can rest assured that long be- fore we are through the world will know the part the horse has taken and will yet take in the final rout of the Boches as it took centuries ago. Sporting Notes the FOSTER BOXING AND BALL Amateur Union Sees Good Outlook For These Sports, The Toronto, Globe says:--The many amateur boxers, militéry and civil, who have been in training in anticipation of a spring tournament are not to be disappointed, as it has been decided to carry out the tourna- ment, under Amateur Athletic Union auspices, for the Ontario champion- ships about the end of this month, the Arena being the venue of the bouts. - At all the city clubs which promote the sport, many sports are working out, and a lot of new talent is likely to be developed. Coming boxers will have a better opportunity now than ever before, and the ap- proaching tournament will have es- pecial interest from this point of view. It was felt at last night's meeting of the Registration Com- mittee of the Ontario branch of the Union that it was imperative for the encouragement of boxing that the season should be marked by the holding of the proposed tourney. The outlook for the baseball sea- son was another matter engaging the attention of last night's meeting, and all reports were of couraging charagter. The remark- able success attending the operations of the Toronto-and Hamilton Ama- teur Baseball Associations' has been a great factor in stimulating inter- est in other parts of the country, and similar organizations are in con- templation in various baseball. cen- tres, where the sport needs only the support of like bodies to achieve like progress. The activities of the On- tario Union will be largely extended in this direction during the next few weeks, and the game placed on the most substantial foundation for its permanency as an organized branch of amateur sport. The Ontario branch will give the services of its organization to assist the sporting gathering for the enter- tainment of the "Original Firsts' early next month, Jess Willard Begins Grind.
