FORTY YEARS AGO From The Seaforth News August 1515 Customs Officer Neelin as- sumed the role of auctioneer to dispose of an animal, described in official documents as "the celebrated race horse known as Blue Laws." The story of Blue Laws was long and grievous He had :been imported from the U. S. under $2,000 bond to race at the Woodbine track in Toron- to. Stolen while in Canada, the owner claimed return of the bond money from the govern- ment. Later the horse was trac- ed to a farm near Monkton, and was in badly deteriorated con- dition. Placed in charge of Customs Officer Neelins at Sea - forth, the animal was well oared for until presentable, and then offered to the highest bidder. Mr. Neelins mounted the buggy to which Blue Laws Was harn- essed, and after an hour of ef- fort and much good natured bantering, sold the horse to Mr, Dan Shanahan for '$49.50, Can Blue Laws make a come back?
