The shipment including seven mares two foals and two Stal Lions Are consigned to Frank Ross of Vancouver. Or. Anderson was pressed into Short notice service because Bri Tish Columbia has a ruling that horses entering the province mus be inoculated against encephalomyelitis before entering the prov Ince. He met the horses As they passed through Here yesterday morn ing and did the Job during the 20 minutes the train stopped. Or.

He reported that one of the stallions in the shipment was one of the Best looking Cleveland Bays to come into the West. The Cleveland Bays were a quite popular Breed of horse a few years Back but of late have been getting fairly scarce in the West. Anderson said the serum for the required treatment is hard to get and is not in plentiful Supply in most places in Canada. There none in Montreal when the horses were unloaded off the Boa from Liverpool sunday and a special shipment brought in by air from new York was too late. Anderson happened to have 11 doses of the drug left Over from an order for some horses in the Spring if the Job had t been done Here the horses would have been held in Bond by the . Government which is the Only one requiring inoculation against the disease which is uncommon nowadays. F. Al Smith clerk of the course reported that As of thursday morning there were Between 390-400 horses registered at Polo Park this is a fair drop from the Spring meeting when there were in the neighbourhood of 476 Here.

The nine year old gelding spent practically All of the Spring meeting Here on the veterinary s list which makes the horse ineligible to run until passed by the veterinary and pronounced physically fit and sound to run.

It was a Tough break for the Weston boys and it did t help them any when Bill Glencross Fol lowing Harry Beckwith s Corner eased the Ball into the net with a header. Weston fought Back to tie up the score and the scottish got off Lucky when tank Summerfield got away in the Clear Only to drive the Ball at Roy Burkett.
