Here’s a Fussy Good Fellow!
“I think I am a notional smoker”
That’s what one of our old friends writes us. He xsl
He swears he can’t enjoy anything except the
lightest shades in cigars. That’s notional.
But doctors tell us much of the pleasure in smok
ing is psychological. So there you are!
Our friend may be right. We know the color of
the wrapper means nothing. And we know all Black
stone filler is mild. But, we never argue against the
beloved color prejudices of our friends. And we’re par
ticularly fond of notional smokers. Perhaps because
we’ve a knack of pleasing them.
This man, for instance, is the fussiest good fellow we
know, and he’s stuck to Blackstones for twenty-one years.

St. Stephen Track
In New Circuit
Fredericton, X. B.. Fob. 1-Wlien the
next meeting of the Maine and New
Brunswick Harness Racing Circuit, the
new organization which was formed at
Houlton, last week, is held at Presque
Isie on February 16th, the St. Stephen
track will be represented making three
tracks from New Brunswick in line
for membership. The racing committee
of the St. Stephen Fair recently nam
ed R. 'E. Hyslop as their new secre
tary and is expected that Mr. Hyslop
as well as Frank C. Murchie the chair
man of the committee will attend the
Presque Isle meeting. So far there has
been no decision by the fair association
as to whether they will stage a mid
summer meeting at St. Stephen this
year but if they are not willing to do
so it is said a syndicate is being
formed at the border, which will take
over the track for the -purpose.
At the Houlton meeting at Houlton
last week representatives of the Fred
ericton park association suggested
that as the circuit would close under
present arrangements at the Frederic
ton Exposition, it might bo mutually
advantageous if the Chatham dates
were listed with the new circuit as a
favorable shipment from Fredericton,
with free return privileges, a good
track to race over, generous purees and
good treatment could be assured all
campaigning stables wishing to con
tinue their fall racing. The suggestion
has yiot yet been formally placed be
fore the Mlramichi Agricultural Exhib
ition Association at Chatham, but an
arrangement such as suggested would
practically assure the Chatham track
of good fields foV the fair races with
out having to go any further or do anv
more worrying.
