LONGDEN ABOARD FOURANDTWENTY Feel FourAndTwenty After Two Big Prizes LONDON lCPlWord along the racecourse grapevine is that the star Canadianowned thor oughbred Four and Twenty may lie pointed at two

do Trioniphe at Paris in October Calgary sportsman Max Bell part owner of Alberta Ranches is said to have told British bloodstock officials that it is the definite intention to run Foar andTwenty in the important event at Longchamp in October Sporting Life bible of British racegoerssays Four and Twenty currently cleaning up in California would probably be ridden by evergreen Johnny Lnngden who might make the race his final appearance in the saddle Longdcn has ridden more winners than any other jockey in the history of racing WOULD BE WELCOME Sporting Life refers to Four andfnventy as an American runner and regrets that there has been no US horse in the Paris race since Whitney sent Fisherman and Career Boy to compete in the 1955 event Mr Whitney had hoped that other American owners would follow his example but the re sponse was nil says Sporting Life if Bell docs run Fourand verity at Ascot and Long chnmp it will consolidate his claim to have raced more ex tensively in foreign parts than any other Canadian owner He has had some half dozen runners in the Epsom Derby and last year his colt Snysambu ran close second in the Irish Derby British fans would welcome the appearance of Fourand Twenty as reminder of his sire Blue Prince which won good race at Epsom before being exported to the United States and his dam Sixpence which when trained by Paddy Prendergast was one of

the skaters have had the unique privilege of skating to music of Central Collegiate Band un der the direction of Fisher The international ac claim that Mr Fisher and his musicians have attained is proud fact known by every per son in Barrie By combining these two talents the audience was presented with perform ance that could only be outdone by wholly professional group There are many other local people involved in presenting this carnival Costumes lights tickets programs props scen ery music scripts makeup all have to be arranged Many hours are given to behind the scenes work which when coupl ed with the work of Mrs Emms and Mr Fisher make up the successful carnival we saw on March at It is to be hoped the Barrie Skating Club can continue to grow and expand its facilities With an everincreasing number of children wishing to partici pate it will be necessary for some changes to be made in the structure of the club before an other season It is the wish of the president and directors of the club to discuss these vital changes with as many parents as possible Now that the club has reached such mark of success it would be shame for it not to have the support to continue this good work The directors would be pleas ed to discuss their future plans with the parents or anyone in terested in furthering the skat ing movement here in Barrie For this purpose plan to at tend
