This is the second time the show is being held at the new rodeo facilities at the local park and records should be set in both number of entries and in attendance. The show last year drew more than 225 entries for the second consecutive time putting it into the "A" class category. Saturday's show will run in two sections with registered quarter horses at halter in the morning at 8.30 and performance classes going in the afternoon. For exciting action from a spectator's point of view the afternoon portion of the program will provide the most entertainment. This will include barrel racing, reining, cutting and calf roping. The Quarter Horse Show is being sponsored by the Exeter Saddle Club with president Dr. Don Ecker heading up an enthusiastic executive. R.E. Daley of Palatka, Florida, will be the judge for the full day's programwhile Don Nye of Hamilton will be the arena director. Local talent will handle the remainder of the duties with Fred Darling as announcer and Noel Veri in charge of entries, some of which have been received from as far away as Texas. Most of the contestants at Saturday's show here will continue on to Sarnia for a similar event the next day. The Ontario Quarter Horse Association has one of the largest following of youth activity classes in Canada. This association that sanctions all shows of this kind insists on various events restricted to youngsters. As of a year ago, there were close to 5,000 quarter horses registered in Canada with Ontario having more than 1,000, the second highest total in the Dominion. Quarter horses are now in existence in every country of the world, except Russia. The quarter horse had its beginning as a race horse. In the 350 years since his origin, he has retained his ability to beat horses of any other breed from a standing start up to the 440-yard marker or a quarter of a mile, thus establishing the name. The quarter horse breed originated during the colonial era in the Carolinas and Virginias. At that time match racing was the leading outdoor sport with races being run on village streets and along country lanes near the plantations. The foundation of these quarter running horses came from the Arab and Turk breed brought to North America by Spanish explorers and traders. Stallions selected from these first arrivals were crossed with a band of mares which arrived from England in 1620: This cross produced compact, heavily muscled horses that could run a short distance faster than those of any other breed. The quarter horse is the most versatile, best all round horse the world has ever known. He is gentle and his easy-going disposition makes him quite popular with women and children. He is also thrifty and easy to keep and train for multiple uses and has no equal for rodeoing, cutting, roping, barrel racing and bull dogging. Popularity of the quarter horse and his rapidly increasing numbers in this and other countries is readily apparent at hundreds of halter shows and performance events sponsored by quarter horse owners. Prizes For Big Fish For the twelfth consecutive year, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is conducting their annual Big Fish contest. The contest opened on April 27 and will run until November 19. The information on this big contest arrived on our desk late last week and we are very sorry it didn't come at least a week earlier. Our editor spent part of last week in the New Liskeard area on what was supposed to be a fishing trip and we're sure if he knew there were any awards on tap for big fish, he would have tried a little harder. We haven't been able to determine the size of the one fish he was able to land but are sure it would not qualify for the angling contest. Cash awards this year total $3,200 and range from $ I 00 for the biggest fish in each of the eight eligible species to $10 for the fifteenth prize. In addition, all fish that meet the minimum weight requirements for the species, qualify for the Master Angler Badge. The contest is run in co-operation with Molson's Breweries Limited who have provided anglers to date with over $35,000 in cash awards. The game fish eligible in the contest are rainbow trout, brook trout, lake trout, pickerel, northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and maskinonge. Entry forms must be accompanied by a clear side view photograph of the fish. Scale samples are requested, if possible, and these are sent to the Department of Lands and Forests for study. Scales submitted over the past eleven years have provided the Department with valuable information on our sport fish. Entry forms for the fish contest can be obtained at convenient locations throughout the province and can also be obtained by writing to the Big Fish Contest, Box 480, Richmond Hill, Ontario, SWEEP ALL THE AWARDS—The C 4th Tigers captured all the awards possible in the "A" division of the Exeter Men's Bowling league.

In the opener, Tuesday night, the Kinsmen came up with a single run in the eighth and first extra inning to squeeze past the Legion by a score of 11-10. First one team and then the other went on a scoring rampage, The Kinsmen jumped into an 8-1 lead after four innings of play only to have the Legion battle back with a half dozen runs in the bottom of the fifth to get close on the scoreboard. The Kin club added two more markers in the seventh only to have the Vets score three times in the bottom of the same frame to knot the count. Jim Russell led off the Kinsmen eighth inning with a long home run to deep left field that proved to be the margin of victory in the hard fought contest. Russell also homered in the first inning with one man aboard and drew three walks for a perfect night at the plate. Jim Dingwell's triple and a two-bagger from the bat of Jim MacDonald were responsible for a four run Kin outburst in the third inning and MacDonald's second double and a single delivered by Dick Roelofson Greys even in first tilts The busiest people at the first two Huron Ladies' softball league games involving the Exeter Greys would have to be the score keepers. In their first outing in Shakespeare, Friday the Greys were on the short end of a 33-6 count but they bounced back in their home opener Tuesday night by drubbing Huron Park 41-6. The Greys meet Brucefield on the Exeter diamond Friday night in their next league encounter. FIRST INNING DECIDES On their home field, Tuesday, the Greys scored 15 times in the first inning and left little doubt as to the final outcome of the contest. In the first frame, Kathy Wells and Joan Campbell each banged out two singles while Pam Vanderweil delivered a single and three bagger. Others gaining hits for the Exeter, club in the opening inning were Judy Glover, Lynne Farquhar, Patti Robinson, Jayne Broderick and Pat Down. Five more Exeter runners crossed the plate in the second with Kathy Wells' home run being the big blow. Numerous errors by the Huron Park girls and singles by Brenda Brintnell, Sheila Willert and Janet Bloch accounted for a nine run Grey rally in the fourth. Another big rally that netted twelve runs in the sixth closed out the Grey scoring for the night. The big blows in the final outburst were home runs from the bats of Brenda Brintnell, Debbie Coughlin and Debbie Bourne. Pat Down went the distance on the pitching mound for the Greys and the only long hit she gave up was a home run blast from the bat of Cheryl Shoji. FALL BEHIND EARLY In the first game of the season in Shakespeare, the home club scored eight times in the first inning and the Greys were never able to get back in the running. The Exeter runs came in a bunch in the third frame and were scored by Joan Campbell, Sheila Willert, Patti Robinson, Debbie Coughlin, Pam Vanderweil and Marie Tiernan.
