Old Home Week 1040 has come nnd gone and many pleasant me- mories remain of a week filled with glamour and excitement, with the added pleasure of meet- lng hundreds of old friends from iall parts of the Maritimes, also some from far away parts ofCan- ada and the United States. Char- lottetown race meetings have been great gathering places for horse- men as long as the writer can remember and it is a pleasure to look back on the many friendships formed throughout the years and the renewal of those friendships year after year. While the entry list was the biggest in the history of harness racing in Canada there was a large number of withdraw- als. owners feeling that perhaps ‘their horses would not be able 1o place in the competition they would meet. Some of their ap- prehensions were not well found- ed as the management split the classes where there were more than ten entries and placed the horses according to their best per- formances. There were seyeral classes where the results might have been different if the stay- aways had been there.

During the meet several horses changed hands. Lady Worthy 2nd being sold by Charles Willis, Covehead. to John MacLeod, Yar- rmouth. and Frank McAldufl, act- ing for John Forbes, Fredericton. N B., purchased the two-year-old igi-lding Sanrly Budlong from Bert Younker. Winsloe. He is out of Alestra 2121/4 and is a very likely prospect. Mr. Forbes is the owner of Yankee Girl 2.101-5. Well liicNeill added to his string of harness horses with the purchase of Joey Harvester. a promising pacer by Simcoe Harvester, that has been developed by Harry O'- Brien, Alberton.

The weather was not up to Old Home Week standards; for in- stance, on Thursday afternoon there were intermittent showers that kept up from one o'clock on, but some 6,000 race fans braved ft all with a smile. One reason was the deep interest taken 1n tthe classes. particularly the Free For All which had the best field of side-wheelers seen here in years. It was a race for those who watched it closely, with many stirring episodes, close driving, quick getaways and brilliant fin- ishes. Anti-Aircraft, which was in the rear tier getting away from ‘the gate and had to go the over- land, was timed in 2.09 3-5, while the actual time given out for the winning horse, Scott Spencer. was 2.10. Then there was Eddie Scott in the last heat that went the overland route up near the fence and finished quite strong. He had

been 3-3 in the previous two heats. With the Starting Gate a lot

depends on the getaway and the horse that can get into a good position has a big jump on the others. In our opinion Starter Russell Abbott nnd driver" Bill lViacAusland did a wonderful job with the gate and we particularly liked having George Callbeck to direct the horses to their posit- lons. While 2.10 miles were scarce ‘it must be remembered that weather conditions were not the best when the fast classes were raced; for instance in the FreeFor All Thursday the track was heav- fly soaked with rain and must have caused n slowing up of two seconds. We really thought the time was wonderful in that Free For All under the circumstances. lt was a matter for surprise with us and must have been with many others, that thousands of people would sit through showers of rain for hours. There is certainly no sport that could interest them "that much, or perhaps it is that our people are made of more dur- nble material and can stand the assaults of inclement weather bet- ‘ter than those elsewhere. Every- one was hoping for a fine Friday but instead it was a continuous all through the day with the weather reports not at Ill promising for Saturday.

The fastest heat trotted during ‘the meeting was by Brewer's Gal- lon (Campbell), owned by B. C. Crulckshsnk, Hellman-2.10 1-5. The fastest mile paced during the meeting was by Vells Ls Velle (W.

With the Old Home Week cel- ebrations, which have predomin- ated local activity all week, com- ing to an end today. the many sporting circles will be picking up the strings where they left off to make way for the week-long p_ro- gram, and will come to life over the week-end to bring things back to a routine basis in their regular schedule of sporting events.

o o c

The big feature here Sunday will be the opening game of the Junior City Baseball League play- ofls, when the Victorias and the Knights of Columbus squad tan- gle at the Memorial Field diam- ond at Victoria Park, while at the same time at Summerside the Charlottetown Abbies will take the field against the R.C.A.F. nine in their second game of a best of three semi-final playoff series in the Island Baseball League.

o - 3

The action should be keen at botih centers when both leagues resume action, with the Knights, winners of the regular schedule, coming out strong to keep up the reputation they have built up this srason by endeavouring to clip the lendofl game from the second place Victorias in this all- important series. while at Sum- merside the Abbies will be out to win their second straight victory from the Air Force and earn a place in the finals against the Curran and Briggs aggregation for the Island title.‘

The R.C.A.F. will no doubt be harboring other ideas. however, and will be n determined outfit when they turn out tomorrow to atone for their first game 5-4 set- back at the hands of the Abbies and will be turning in an all-out effort to even up the series and force it into a third and deciing

encounter. -

Tennis will a1so' come back to its own again today when, pro- viding the courts will be fit for play, the Charlottetown Tennis Club annual tournament will re- sume play, and will expect to de- clare its winners in iihe men's singles, men's and ladies‘ doubles and mixed doubles over the week

end. O O O

The Old Home Week racing program which has been in pro- gress here all this week could hardly be termed anything but "outstanding" when crowds at- taining record-breaking proport- ions gathered at the Exhibition track to witness some of the most thrilling track duels to be seen here for many years. with the cream of Maritime trotters nnd pacer: battling it out over Can- ada's finest racing oval in b0“! afternoon and evening sessions for top honors in this annual event which is rated as tops in Maritime horse racing circles; .

With every meet scoring s suc- cess all its own as far as stellar racing performances are concern- ed, and giving the attending crowds action-packed entertain- ment at every turn of the track which provided them with enough startling upsets and flashing fin- ishes to last them n life time. the whole program taken collectively has been one of outstanding mer- lt. despite the fact that the recent rain caused the postponement 01 both Thursday night and Friday afternoon and‘ evcninl "mil

Although n day isle. with bet- ter wcnther prospects offered for today, the racing fans will still be able to see the final stages of this great race week, when weath- er permitting, the horses will e- gain be taking the word from the official starter for what is expect- ed to be an excellent climax to on excellent week of horse Illlnl

entertainment. I O

The program in the afternoon will be the same as was sched- uled for yesterday nftemoon, while the evening events will be 91¢ Thursday night prozrm which ‘l- so had to go by_ the boards on account of the rsin. The ti!!!" for this afternoon will be two classified trot and Dace event-S 09 three dnlhcl each. "I!

For Today

Heavy ruin, accompanied by strong winds forced post-pone- ment of the final afternoon and evening racing programs of the Old Home Week program yester- day but yesterday officials on- nounced that the closing events, provided the weather is suitable, would be run off this afternoon and night. Four classes, includ- ing the free-for-uli trot with five starters, ore scheduled for this afternoon, while the night program will consist of three classes, oil evenly matched.

While disappointing, the post-i

ponement nevertheless will not detract any from the events and this afternoon and evening fans should witness o fitting closing to what has been on outstand- ing harness racing week.

The first heat will take the word of 2 o'clock sharp this afternoon and capacity crowds ore expected to be on hand for both programs, programs that should produce some of the keenesf and closest racing of the entire week.
