of which i am ashamed s held of brampton ont and to say i have forgotten but then i am not a racing man touring in the british isles and eire is like stepping back into the pages of history i know we have our own history but apart from montreal and quebec it has always seemed to me that we have never paid much attention to preserving historical sites and places doug- made a similar observation the day we visited a castle in ulster where once william of orange had lived we felt much the same the night we attended a play in that famous old play- house the abbey theatre in fact one gets so imbued v ith this idea of living in the past that it is often quite a shock to come across modern hydro electric plants in all we spent six days in north and south ireland and we were sorry when the time came for us to board the packet boat for liver pool however england soon pro duced its compensations for leaving the friendly irish and one of the first was a visit to the shakespeare country at stratford on avon w browsed around the cottage of ann hathaway arid leaned out the case ment window in much the manner thai fdir ann was supposed to have done when she was courted by william shakespeare from the bard s country ne slip i ed by car through warwickshire ind had lea in an old abbey stand int in the shadow of warwick cas tic we would like to have had time to have looked over this beau tiful 700 year old structure but unfortunately our schedule would not let us that night wc had sup per with the john camerons mrs cameron s father had lived in can ada for many years and went ov erseas with the prmcess pats in he first world war the camerons live in a 400 yearold house with the delightful name of tinker s hatch they had just had some res toration and redecoration carried out and the ancient oak beams t learned warmly in the electric light and i might add it v as one of the few warm things about the house for it was exceptionally dif ficult to heat however to

their trfe to the british isles eire and france this is the fourth of a series of five weekly articles he has written as team manager abou their experiences and impres sions fame touched us fleetingly late in november when we were staying at the gresfiam hotel in dublin and for a brief minute or so u looked as if canada s champion plowmen and their team manager were going to be called to another and more glamorous career registered with us at the gresh- am was as the placards around dublin cried the incendiary amer lean blonde betty hutton and her party i must confess that the visit by doug rcid of brampton ont champion tractor plowman algie wallace p north gower champion horse plowman and their team man ager roy shaver of finch ont was rather overshadowed by this parly the american group wis the reason for our new found fame if such it can be called young dublincrs seemed to hang around the hotel all day to catch glimpses of the glamorous miss hutton and one day as we emcr ged onto ihe street in our tall white western hats we heard a shrill cry oh look there s miss hut ton s cowboys though their lets were not bowed in the traditional lone star state manner doug and algie carried off their new roles with a fine air of nonchalance however though wc sat at the next table in the dining room we received no bids from miss hut ton and so recrossed the atlantic as dairy farmers instead of cow- punchers soon after our return to canada someone asked doug which part of the trip he would choose if he were al lowed just one section of it over again whhout hesitition he slid the tnp to ireland aljie cnthusnstically concuned their choice ind i oth ing to do with miss hutton it wis because is douj said the irish r 11 did us pioud thit is not meant lo decry or be httli our reception elsewhere in the british isles t ir from it wherein wc went w wre wcl corned with open irms i cin only si that the gcncril enthusiasm with which we were rctovid s c iks vojjjnios for the tonus of cinidliftpimtnien who mide the trip in previous yeirs the teams thit went before us left wonderful impressions of canada and cina dian plowmen so i don t think it was because the irish did anything more to make us feel at- home than anyone else- r co in it was just that they did it with a britain where gaelic zest that is probably pecul douglas rod iar to irishmen perhaps it was also that some of the things we saw m ireland were unique and added a savour to the main diet of the trip without arguing the pros and cons or the ethics of gambling and sweepstakes all of us were very in terested to see the headquarters of the famous irish hospitals sweep stakes it has been said that more goes in prizes than is given to the hospitals but i know nothing of that one thing t did not realize though was that the livelihoods of thousands of people are wrapped up in this gigantic enterprise in one vast room m the modern office building that houses the sweep stakes wc saw 2 000 clerks busily sorting and checking the counter foils names and addresses doug immediately bought six tickets one for each member of his immediate family including his two young children he bought them even after mr sheenon the manager told us that each ticket has one chance in ten million of being drawn from the huge barrel in which the counterfoils are plac ed doug refused to be squashed hy these odds and as he placed his hundreds of tho roughbreds are trained and charles 1 wag ered his realm away if there is ever a competition for the strangest alglewabao farm on earth david alston who jived
