Densmore of Bathurst, N.B., a great horse lover and owner of some good ones including Wanda Volo 2.07 1-4, writes us that Peter Conroy is looking after his two colts this winter. They are both by Laurel Hanover 1.59 1-2, one out of a filly by Calumet Fingo 2.04 1-4 and the other has its dam Wanda Volo. The Doctor says they are good colts and will get a bit of developing this winter in Peter's capable hands. He says Peter is in good trim and very interested in this youthful speeder. Friends will be glad to hear Peter is so nicely settled and with such interesting material to work on. Just here I would like to say that I never met a man who could level a horse's foot more smoothly, easily and so perfectly as our friend Peter. A master mechanic he could build anything. In the old days we would call him Jack of all Trades, and the cognomen would certainly fit. Master mariner, blacksmith, carpenter, Wheelwright, reinsman- giving records to many trotters and pacers- and many other qualifications not catalogued here. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace
