 Miss Mary Smith entertained a party of ten boys and girls, Saturday, | in honor of her nephew, Harold Smith. It was his tenth birthday and the guests had a jolly afternoon with games on the lawn. The table, spread on the veranda, was very attractive with meadow lilies and huge birth day cake. That Honest Ed" Gillies is driver that Stafford might be proud of and that he has started off on what prom ises to be a great year can be gleamed very easily from the following piece taken from The Horse Breeder: Ed Gillies' Mainleaf stallion, Forest B., was carded to make his debut in the 2.14 trot, and, as every Bay State trainer had put in the winter trying to figure it out just how it would be pos sible for Forest B. to lose a race in his stake engagements down the Bay State itinerary, it was but natural that Gillies' good trotter was the center of attraction. Of no less interest were the three starters from the Crozier stable, the Charter Oak trainer elect ing to appear behind Patrick Duluth, notwithstanding the disappointing race of the Harvester stallion at Hills grove. Hodson appeared behind Plucky Chat, while Kingsley had the mount behind Rosa Watts. With this lineup and with Plucky Chat drawing the pole, the CrOZier stable looked to te able to hold it's own against the Gillies faction. At the half Patrick Duluth, Plucky Chat and Amy Frisco were three abreast, Plucky Chat get ting into the clear at the three-quart- CTS, and although Gillies moved up in to second place after the unscram- bling his drive fell just a bit short at the wire. In the second heat Plucky Chat and Patrick Duluth got the jump on the field, but on the back stretch Flemming, driving Balen (while Dore was looking after SilkobeD, brought the crowd to it's feet with great spurt of Balen speed and was leading the bunch at the three-quarters. Once again Gillies worked through his field and set Forest B. on high speed. Balen was soon subdued, but Patrick Duluth remained to fight it out with the Staff ford Springs entry, Forest B. winning by just enough to give him the decis- ion. Gillies then took the field in tow with Forest B. the first crack out of the box and was never headed in the third heat, the only incident of the session being display of bad manners on the part of Rosa Watts which proved her undoing so far as the rest of the race was concerned, as she failed to finish inside of the flag. The fourth and final heat also went to For est B.. although the veteran, McClosky, essayed the role of troublemaker by passing the favorite before the half was reached and staying there until Forest B., under a strenuous drive, just managed to land the race at the wire"
