and historical points enroute.
The first stop was at the Bell

ating the life and work of the
famed telephone inventor.
At ,Thorold, the hillocks were
seen in operation. The grain car-

eaten on Queenston Heights.

and views up the Niagara river

er Commission was visited next.
The giant floral clock and the
extensive reconstruction work in
progress here caught the children's
attention.
Tour Plant
While at the Falls the Canadian
Shredded Wheat Company was
toured and the pupils were shown
all thesteps in the manufacture
of biscuits. The company's 'cafe-
teria proved very popular. All
saw the falls at close range from
the deck , of the river boat Maid„
of the Mist. '
After supper the bus _crossed
the Rainbow Bridge and a half-
hour was spent viewing. the falls
from the American side. The
rapids were a • picturesque and
fascinating water feature. The
party returned to the Canadian
shore atdusk to witness the color-
ful illumination before departing.
Although the trip officially ended
about 3 a.m., many facts and im-
pressions, newly acquired, will re-
main , in these young minds for

This column has been, since its origin,
dedicated to good sportsmanship.. And al-
though horse -racing is an extremely practipel
business, we can't find a more truly fair and
sporting event in 1952 than the running of
the $50,000., international in Maryland.
That an English -bred horse, flown across
the Atlantic, "won the race, is beside the point. The sporting
spirit ,in which the race was conditioned is the thing that in-
trigues, and wins admiration.
American horses race on dirt tracks. Flat races on the turf
are extremely rare on this continent. But in Britain and
Europe, the great percentage of races are staged on turf courses.
And so, to give the foreign horses a fair chance the Maryland
race was held on the turf instead of a dirt track. And the start
was from a walk-up type, as used principally overseas, instead
of from the electrical starting -gate commonly used in America.
•
How different from the other races of a similar type, in
other years, in which great horses were brought from England
and France, to race against the cream of American thorough-
breds, but were defeated under conditions strictly American,
which gave the invaders little chance, particularly as in those
days, the foreign horses were shipped by boat. For the Mary-
land race, they were flown across.
- When in 1923, Papyrus, winner of the Epsom Derby that
year, was beaten by Zev, the Kentucky Derby victor, in a match
race at Belmont, there was some American cheering over what
was rated the superiority of United States horse -flesh to that
bred on the other side of the ocean. But experts grudgingly
admitted tTiat in the mud which happened to prevail that day,
a track condition entirely strange to the British horse, Papyrus
wasn't shod properly to combat the track condition. Even if.he
had beeen, it's. doubtful if he could have won. Papyrus had
never before set his dainty hoofs into mud, and that he was
improperly, shod in the bargain gave him no chance in "what
was by no means a real test of quality.
Then there 'was the case of "Spinach" the French racing
star Epinard, brought across in 1924, and pitted against Amer-
ica's best horses at a variety of distances under 'American rac-
ing, conditions. He ran three times against two or more Am-
errcan horses that represented America's tops at the various
distances, and all the races were under American racing con-
ditions.
With the International of 1952, more fair and sporting
rules prevailed, designed to place" no horse at a disadvantage,
*nor to give an edge to any. The horses met on exactly equal,
terms, and that, we believe rates the event as one conducted in
the spirit of true sportsmanship not excelled in any event of
the year, anywhere. ..
