1910 or 1912.1 was fourteen years old. LP . had a little farm in back a mile or so, near the end of the - a big field in the middle of the woods. L.P . sowed the oats and I came behind with the horse and harrow. It was good pay; at that time men were getting a dollar a day." Jean: " LP . drove the rural delivery mail. He had a buggy with a closed in front to keep out the rain." Colin: "He always had horses, particularly a stallion he kept for breeding purposes. Behind his house he had a high board fence. Must have been ten feet high. When us boys saw a man bringing a mare to LP .'s we'd go and peck through the cracks in the fence. (They both have a good laugh.) Jean: "Boys were the same then as they are now." Colin: "I guess LP . had a bit of a temper.

The horses would line up as best they could and when the starter thought things were right, he would blow the bugle. Some times there would be a false start and the bugle would sound again. Apparently LP . couldn't hear the second bugle and went completely around the track in his excitement to win the race. The following article appeared in thcDaity Examiner, Aug. 2,1892, and shows that horses were a big part of L.P .'s life: A correspondent at St. Peter 's Bay reports: — " Mr. LP . Doyle, of St. Peter 's Bay disposed of his beautiful gelding Barney D. for a handsome figure, Mr. Oliver Mason , the popular horse buyer, being the pur¬ chaser. Barney D. is well known among the sporting class in the country. In the three minute class at the opening of the Souris last season, he captured the second place from a large field of fast horses making an exciting fight for the first place with the celebrated trotting stallion Neptune Lee record 2.38. Barney D. is a silky bay with
