The little folk take the matter very seriously, and feel that they have scored a triumph when they have spoken their piece. Among the selections put on by the older scholars, the "Star Drill' was the prettiest. This number was car- ried out on the principle of the May- pole dance, and the flashing tinsel on the ropes and the Star made a pretty sight as the happy faced girls wove in and out in the mazes of the dance.

I do not think there is anything at the present time in the Maritime field that can beat him. He is in wonderful -bloom and his feet and action have undergone exception- al improvement. He should 'do a lot of good in this country and our horse bredders are very much impressed with him." Following the Royal Winter Fair of 1936, Mr. H, J.
