The Pioneers
ALTHOUGH we were at the races it
was only right that we should
talk about the 28th and the pioneers.
Cyril Emery, who came down from Broken Hill, told us that his grand-
father arrived in 1839 and settled at
Beefacres, where five sons were
born. Cyril said. "My father is 85,
and his brother Dick is 91. He can
get up out of a chair and walk away
like a young man. He was a won-
derful shot in his time, and still
shoots. My father has been very in-
terested in what you have written and
said over the wireless about gun dogs.
He took prizes with his set-
ters in the early seventies."
In between races Herb Jackman and
Bill Correll were having a long chat
about the field dog trial which is to
be held at Woodside next Monday.
There vras some talk of holding it in
Mr. H. H. Sbillabeer's beautiful pro-
perty at Oakbank; it is well known as
John Johnston's old farm. I was very
sorry to hear that a bush fire swept
the district yesterday and destroyed
100 of Mr. Shillabeer's sheep.
