To Hall of Fame During the past couple of months we have mentioned that Clandeboye's most famouse citizen is about to receive a special award. On Sunday, July 1, Clint Hodgins will be inducted into the Harness Hall of Fame at Goshen, New York. Clint will receive the traditional Hall of Fame ring and a new statuette of himself will be unveiled in the Hall of Fame museum. In a recent news release, the United States Trotting Association describes Hodgins as a "money driver without peer." During his long driving career, the 66 year-old native of Clandeboye has broken two minutes on no less than 35 oc- casions. He has also had three "horses of the year" winners. They were Proximity in 1950; Bye Bye Bird in 1959 and Adios Butler in 1960-61. More about Horses While talking we would like to mention that area horses and drivers are doing more than holding their own at tracks throughout the province. One of the area's veteran racing enthusiasts received one of the biggest thrills of his long career Sunday night at Garden City. Jack Morrissey who has been an owner and racing of- ficial for many years watched as his Queenie's Laddie went a mile in only one and four-fifths of a second over the two minute mark. Morrissey who purchased Queenie's Laddie in Western Canada last fall in partnership with Goderich native driver Ron Feagan told us this week this was the tenth victory of the season for the pacer and his card now held winnings of more than $19,000. In Sunday's race, Queenie's Laddie went to the quarter in a fraction over 29 seconds and to the half in a minute and two-fifths of a second and was in sixth place going into the top turn and turned on a terrific burst of speed to come home the winner. In the Lucan area, Andy and Ken Hardy and Neil McRann continue to win their share of races at London and Windsor. The only, Exeter and district racing enthusiast who is engaged in the business full time is having an excellent year. Jim Wallace who trains nine horses at the old quarter horse and rodeo grounds on the fourth concession of Stephen township has an excellent record at Western Raceway in London.
