The most startling of them was the performance of Dudey Patch that started out with a record of 2.10 and emit-d with a record of 2.05 1-2. In addition to the above number IIIOIY‘ must be included those that took new roc- ords such as Peter at Court 2.12 l-4. George Mac (3) 2.20, Add Whrthv, 2.23, Hilda Budlorlg (2) 2.20 1-4.

Altogether it was a most remark- able iour days racc Inceting and one that will linger 1921;; in the

memory of the horsemen and the many thousands of spectators who cheered their favorites to viczory with no uncertain enthusiasm

The Charlcttctown Driving Park race stalls and track present n very depressing picture these days. It is the scene of vanished glory grrcsintlng a somewhat bedragglcd appearance after the pomp and cir- cumstance of the four 211a clavs. The some hundred stalls where so many gallant race horses munchcd their oats arc vacant. their" occu- pants havc vanished like a dream. off to their owners’ homes or to future racing fields such as Am- herst. 'I‘ruro, North Sydney, Inver- ness and other points. The Riding Club stalls which were so taste- fully "drrssed up" with tin Iced tubs painted in gay colors and ev- erything splc and span are also deserted and the whole plant brings to mind Thomas Moorc-‘s poem- "I feel like one who treads nlone Some banquet hall deserted, Whose lights are fled,

Whose garlands dead.

And all but 1w departed."

WARTIME "MET" ALL AMERICAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 23 —(CP) — Italy's entrance into the war will reduce the number of Italian sing- ers in the Metropolitan Opera and tend to make the Metropolitan

to Edward Johnson, Canadian-born general manager of the "Met."

Mr. Johnson said the Metropolitan "had in mind" thesignlng of Ital- ian opera stars this year but It- aly‘s belligerence has resulted in postponement of these plans. Some of the Met‘ greatest singers have been Italian.

"The situation is very muddled,“ Mr. Johnson said explaining that there will be difficulty assembling the complete Metropolitan conrpany because the singers come from many of tlte countries now invaded or at war.

Mr. Johnson said he is s11re at Iarrscnt only oi’ three first-rate Ital- ian artists for the new season. They are Giovanni Martinelll, now an Unified States citizen. and Bruna Castagana and E210 Pinza, both of whom have applied for citizenship.

The general manager said that 65 per oentof all the artists on tha Metropolitan roster last season were American citizens. Two Canadians were added to the roster during the season-Raoul Jobln. tenor of Que- bec. and Jean Dlckenson, Montreal- bnrn soprano.

"There never was such ll’! op- portunity for American singers." said Mr. Johnson.
