Len O'Meara returned from Fox- ; boro early this week looking fit‘ and well after his sojourn there. rle made many complimentaryl remarks about the officials and the way the meeting was con- lucted, but was of the opinion.

lrom the Maritimes intending to race there should break the journey up into stages and to move rtnero earlier in the season. When thedsland horses arrived at Fox- born there were also many horses coming from Roosevelt and near- by tracks, making the competi- tion stiffer. He was very pleas- ed with the performance of Miss Knox that won two races, one of than in 2.13 over a track that was a couple of seconds slow.

Tolboro track closed for the season October 31st. At the final rogram we note where Dannie teele won the Junior Free For All of. at 1 1-16 miles with Muriel anover in 2.21 3-5. Earle Avery was second in the 2.23 conditioned ace for three-year-olds with Dil- rd Dale and was first in the 2J2 conditioned pace with Mary M. Hal in 1.12. The Quebec driver Lahochelle won the $1,000 Free For All Trot with Duke Volo from Tossmklna Hanover. Patrick Han- over and four other good trot- lerlptlme 2.08 5-5. Another win- ner was the old free~for-aller Scotty 8.. son of Eula H., whose strong constitution and soundness keeps him racing. He stepped his mile in 2.10 2-5.

The Frank G. Trot Memorial ‘lkophy which is awarded to the leading driver for the entire Fox- horo race meeting, was presented with due ceremony to Earle Avery. formerly of Woodstock, N.B.. xfbw training the racing stable of C. T. Black. Berryville, Va. Earle has made quite a name for him- ialf since he has settled perman- sntly in the U.S.A., being the leading driver at an earlier race meeting held on another track and also winning on the Grand Cir- cuit. We all remember Earle when he raced at our Provincial Exhibition meets and he still holds the honor of setting up a track record of 2.05 1-2 with Bud Wen- gar, August 20th. 1936. Our con- gratulations to Earle. which we ire sure are shared in by other Maritime horsemen.

' Roosevelt Raceway. Westbury, N.Y., closed its season's racing last Saturday night with a large attendance of spectators to wit- neas the aid of the program. The featured Columbus Pace was won by the four-year-old Makeway 2.08 4-5 by Peter Astra 2.01 1-2. 1t was his tenth win of the season st Roosevelt. The field was a etrong one with Harold Abbe and Navy Hal putting up a big fight. Johnny Simpson drove the win- nor to a half length win over Harold Abbe as Navy Hal closed for a third nose and nose with the second horse. Simpson also drove the trotter Deanna to a win in 2.07 1-5 and Nat Ray, the man who drove Guy McKinney to his record of 1.58 1-2 and answers to some 75 summers, won the $1,- 000 Classified Trot with Roxy Hanover from a field of eight in 2.08 4-5.

Roosevelt officials say it was the most successful season in its history, running for 147 racing nights. The attendance was some 2,300,000 and the pari-mutual bet- ting reached the $95 million mark. The largest night's attendance was on May 21st when 30,535 specta- tors were on hand to better the 1948 mark of 28.219, Purses of $2.- 000000 exceeded last season's re- cord figure and for the first time two $50,000 races were held — the Roosevelt two-mile trot and the Nassau two-mile pace. Three world's records went by the hoards, Proximity’! 1 1-2 miles trotting performance of 3.07 3-5 and Grattan McKlyo‘s two-mile pacing record of 4.18 4-5 . . . Our thanks to our friend Dick Hegan of New York for sending us the above particulars. _

Next week the eyes of horse- men al1‘over the United States and Canada will be turned to Harrisburg where the biggest har- ness horse auction in history will be held commencing November 7th and running until the 12th,- with the show pavilion opening Monday.

and some claim that he will top the $42000 price tag of White

Hanover. who unfortunately was a bad investment for his buyer.

In addition to the Hanover Shoo Farm assign-ment which is the top breeding farm represented, there will be also offerings from seven other farms. Other top colts which are expected to bring fig- ures running up to $20,000 or more are Ranger Hanover, a bay colt by Billy Direct 1.55, full brother to Riley Hanover. that took a re- cord of 2.02 1-5 this season. Then there is Atomic Hanover. a half brother to Demon Hanover, and several others probably as clasy. 1n addition to the yearlings there is plenty of aged stock which is -bound to bring active bidding. Horsemen are attending from Quebec and Ontario and the Que- becers are known to be ready to Ibuy several fast record trotters and pay a big price for them.

There are a few that they will be bidding on. They have raced at Roosevelt and have given a good account of themselves . . . Lafayette Hanover. Emalou Hanover. Dr. Richards, Dr. Holman.

Dr. Stanton, 1.59 1-2 that creat- ed such a sensation last season, has not raced in such good form this year but he is evidently back into form as he has been a win- ner in California in 2.00. Many thought that he would not make the grade there as he did not look in good condition when he fin- ished his season‘: racing in the east. Thinking back to the sea- son of 1948 we remember when Dr. Stanton was the pick of the harness horse world because of his performances at the Santa Anita meeting that Spring. He was look- ed on as the greatest pacer to show up in years. He came east and won many races at Roosevelt and continued winning all through the year, but many think that Mr. Fraser used _poor judgment in pitting pim against more sea- soned free-for-allers early the past season. Anyhow he met with a succession of defeats which must have made him lose his con- fidence. Now he is back again in the limelight and is consider- ed one of the leading threats for the mile and a quarter pace with a purse of $50,000, which will he a feature of the race meeting at Hollywood Park, Saturday Novem- ber 12th.

Jimmie Cruise, who has been so successful with the erratic pacer Jimmy Creed, winning the National Pacing Derby and the U. S. Harness Writer's 1 1-2 miles Stake with him in world's record time of 3.09. flew to Hollywood early this week to drive him in t e $50,000 Golden West Pace and

They are Bour- bon Abbey, Little Charlie, Miss Della B., Mr. Vermont, March Heir and Moneymaker. Racing commences at Dufferin Park Nov. 12th. Maritimers will be interested in Moneymaker's appearance there. He was shipped by the Dudy Patch Club to Joe O'Brien early last Spring and was second in 2.05 1-2. Whether he is still in the owner- ship of the Dudy Patch Club or has been sold we do not know, but anyhow he is a good pacer and a credit to his sire, Singing Sam 2.10. _

Names Committee To Consider Modern Rink

I A committee to consider ways and means of erecting a new arti- ficial ice rink and possibly a community centre in Summerside was appointed at a public meeting held in the Town Hall last night which was attended by about 35 citizens. The ommittee members are as follows: Dr. H. E. Clark, convener, T. D. Morrison. Dr. J. C. Simpson, D. O Stewart and re- presentatives to be appointed by the following organizations: Town of Summerside, Canadian Legion. R.C.A.F., Board of Trade. lhtary, Kinsmen and Y's Men. Dr. Clark indicated that the committee would hold its first meeting in the near future.

There was a great deal of dis- cussion and the consensus seemed ed to be, when the meeting took an informal turn towards the last. the rink would probably have to be built by the Town by means of a bond issue and this would mean that the taxes wuld have to be raised.

Mr. D. O. Stewart, the first speaker, suggested that a plebiscite be taken on the question and that consideration be given also to erecting a community centre. He stressed the need of a commun- ity centre, stating that there are no proper badminton courts in Town and no place to play volley- ball. He said he thought the land could be made available for such a project at the school. He agreed. however. that the necessity of a rink should be considered first. He suggested that it be financed by a bond issue as he did not be- lieve in’ begging or selling shares.

Private vs. Town Rink

Town Councillor T. D. Morrison said he would like to see the rink a private enterprise with the Town donating free water, electric energy and levyin-g no taxes. He also suggested the Town might go so far as to provide a site. With these concessions he could not see why some citizen or body .of citi- zens would not take advantage of the opportunity to build a new rin-k. If this should fail he thought that a plebiscite then be held and perhaps the Town would issue bonds to build a new rink.

Mr. T. E. Hickey said he was in favor of Councillor Morrison's suggestions. He pointed out though, that one of the citizens of the Town now has quite an ln-ter- est and investment in a rink that should be considered. He did not think that the Town should go into business against a private citizein. The owner of the present rink tried to keep it up but it was partly torn down by the very people ,who use it. Mr. Hickey suggested that the present rink owner might be interested in building a new rink himself un- der certain conditions.

Councillor Morrison suggested that the Town might purchase the present rink. The lot is not large enough but the street might be closed out and the new rink built out on it.

q, Mayor Arnett _

Mayor J. F. Arnett said he agreed with what had been said so far. 1t is not the intention of the Town to interfere with private business. He thought! the suggestions made for encouraging private enter- prise in this matter are feasible. He said it is too bad that a town like Summerside should have no rink. The citizen who owns the present rink has done a good job so far but he noted by the press that he is not going to open it this year. He said it was regret- table that it was destroyed by the boy's who got the most out of it. Ha said: “We did everything pos- sible to prevent it. We sent the police up there but unfortunately some boys think it is enjoyment to destroy property." He sug- gested that a plebiscite be held in February at the time of the civic election to see if the citizens are willing that the Town should build the rink but if the Town does, the taxes will have to be raised.

Mr. Norman Mscdonald poin-ted out that the present rink has been

lt is no fault of the owner, it is just decrepit, he said.

Town Councillor Henry Wedge said he agreed it would be better to get an individual or a group to build it. He pointed out that the taxes have to be raised consider» ably when there is capital-invest- ment. He suggested that a drivi for funds be carried on with all the service organizations taking part. He suggested that the ser- vice clubs could defer their pre- sent projects till they raised incl, quota of money for the rink.

Clarence Steele said that in: Moncton the Stadium was _built by and is now operated by theclty and makes a profit. He suggest- sd it ls time to stop talking about a rink and do something. He suggested that the reason a lot of citizens slid not attend this nim- ing was because they were afraid that the taxes would be raised.
