' The annual meeting of District l1, United States Trotting Associa- tion, was held in the Brunswick Hotel, Moncton, Tuesday after- noon. Lt.-Col. D. A. MacKinnon resided, with Charles L. Clarke, S/loncton, secretary. The calling Of the roll showed that members rid proxies representing members Totalled 204, much above the ne- cessary 20 per cent to make the meeting legal. Mr. F. C. McCurdy. Truro, was declared re-elected as g Director, there being no opposi- tion. Director Dr. G. C. McCoy was unavoidably absent but was represented by proxy.

k Colonel MacKinnon gave e brief ccount of U.S.T.A. activities for 949, speaking of its great growth under the presidency of Henry Knauf, and the tremendous pop- ularity that harness racing was enjoying because of the publicity given it and the opening of night racing plants in the larger cen- ‘Ires of the United States. He paid a fine tribute to Vice President Don R. Millar and his staff at headquarters and also to Jim Crossett, Director of Publicity. The Colonel said that the Maritimes are valued members of a great organization and our representa- tives and members have all the privileges and our opinions carry as much weight as any of the larger districts. He called on Di- rector F. C. McCurdy. who echoed the same sentiments and spoke of the care given to complaints that came before it. Every horseman who is a memiber can feel that he is a full partner in a great or- ganization, said Mr. McCurdy.

The meeting was then thrown open for discussion and the fol- lowing 'took part. . . . Lt.-Col. J. P. Hooper, George B. Gay, Heber Sweeney, Ivan Taylor, Frank Mann, Thomas Etter, George Ir- ving. Edward Dalton. Slrurlzeon Gordon, Leonard Barrieau, Bev- erly Milton, Bud Barker, Lester Bickerton, Fred Lahey, Ralph p, Noddin, Weldon Kelver. Don- “d Tub“, Carl MacKenzie. Scott Weeks, and Irving Charters.

Iber were of the opinion that a frule_ making the penalty for _beating the ‘Gate punishable by |the_ horse bein-g set back go 13s, position. Greater publicity for the sport was also urged and ,some believed it would be a good idea to have schools even for a 55°11 Derlod, where officials could get together and become better acquainted with the rules. Colonel J. P. Hooper, President of the P.E.I. Harness Racing Club, urged those present to make en. tries and ask their friends to make entries. in the colt stakes which will close with secretary W. G. Gillespie, Charlottetown, March 1st. These futurities were a grand success last year with good purses paid and this year there will be two, three and {our year old classes for trotters and two, three and four year 01d classes for pacers. At the con- clusion of the meeting, which was considered by those present the best. yet, a motion was adopted that the annual meeting of 1951 be held in the Brunswick Hotel, Moncton.

S. Thane Belyea writes from Fredericton and gives the re- sults of the Gagetown ice races held last week . . .No. 1 Classi- fled Hartley (Scovill) 1-1, Prince Direct Jr. (Bridges) 2-2, time, 83, 32.

Thane ends with . . . “Please look up and see how old Marvin Brooke is. I was asked that question and all I could say was that he was racing fourteen years ago."

Well, friend Thane, he is older than that. Marvin Brooke, bay gelding by Peter Brooke, was foaled in 1927 at the farm of J. E. Crosby, Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a three year old he was sensational, winning seven races in 1930 and taking a record of 2.04%. He con- tinued racing in the United States until late in 1937 when he was brought to the Maritimes. In 193B he made several starts and won three races, Middleton, N. S., Truro, N.S., and Montague, P.E.I. He was owned all through that season by C. L. Dauphinee o-fHali- fax. Many of our readers will remember a great meeting at Montague on August 3, 1938. All four events were keenly contest- ed and fast time was the order of the day.

The 2.14 Trot and Pace had two trotters and two pacers as start- ers. In the first heat Marvin Brooke (Cummings) went into the lead and they were at the quarter pole in 31 3-4, the half in 1.04. They continued in these positions until the three-quarter pole when Lusty Frisco (C. Schu- man) was pulled out, put on a desperate burst of speed eating up Marvin Brooke and passing him in the stretch to win by a length in 2.09 — the (astwt heat he had trotted in the Maritimes and with- in three-quarters of a second of the Montague track record made by Heathcrbell 2.08 1-4. Marvin Brooke went on to win the next two‘ heats and race with Lusty Frisco 2-2, Dude Poiempkln (Mc- Neill) 4-3-2, Abner T. Clegg (Hood) 3-4-4.

Other wins that day were, 2.16 Trot —- Aliset 2.11 1-2 (Vickers) 1-1-3, Squire Hanover 2.18 1-2 (Semple) 2-2-1, three other start- ers, best time 2.11.

In a boxing card held at. New- castle, N. B, on Thursday night, three local boxers, Harry Poultcn, Buddy Lund and Carl "Beau Jack" MacDonald, held their own against

Mainland opponents to score a unanimous decision, a draw decision and lose a split decision.

. - o

Appearing on the main event against Joe Deleano of Newcastle, Poulton, present Island Welter- weight tltle holder, scored n un- anImOUs decision over the Main- land boxer in a lo-round go. car- rying the flght; all the way, Poul- ton sent Deleano to the canvas for a “no count" in the second hound. but the rugged New Brunswicker stayed in for the full route, al- though he was definatcly out- pointed by Poulton.

I O I

As a six-round semi-final at- traction Lund, Provincial light- weight champ, put up a real stand against a much heavier opponent in the person of Earnle Durrell of Bay Ste. Anne to earn a very close draw decision with the Mainland welterweight. Although giving away nearly fifteen pounds in weight. the classy local sci-zipper battled it out. punch for punch in a rousing scrap for the draw decision.

o . o

In o. six-round top preliminary, Beau Jack also made a good scrap o! it all all the way against Eloi Durrell. also of Baye Ste. Anne and a brother of Lund's opponent. Fighting closely for the full sIX rounds, the local boxer, one of the Island's leading contenders for Lund's lightweight crown, rams just a'litt.le slhort on points with the smart-punching Durrell, who took the fight by a split judges decision.

a - .

Lund and Poulton, who are also two of the leading fight promoters In this City, stated yesterday on their return to the Province, that. they were very pleased with the way the fights went, and that al- though only one of them had scored a. definite victory, the fights were close, crowd pleasing affairs. The two young promoters said that they are trying to arrange to have the two Durrell brothers come hero early next month in return matches against. Lund and Beau Jack. Lund‘s match against Ernie Durrell will be the niziili attraction while Bea-u Jack and 1510i Durrell will be billed as a semi-final go. It h expected to be early in March, and will be staged as another of the six-bout cards that hlive been proving such a, success here in re- cent. months.

As the result of a disastrous flrs here Wednesday night, which com- pletely destroyed the sporting Club on Grafton Street, taking one life and sending some thirteen people to hospital with varying stages of shock and burns, Charlottetown has also lost its biggest and most up to date bowling site.

. - .

The building, which vwas origin- ally the site of Charlottetowns first curling club. it had been talcen over by Mr. Joseph “Jocy" Mac- Donald some years ago andppcr- ated as the Sporting Club, ivhcre many boxing bouts. festivals, dances, bingo and other entertain- ments were featured them all through the war years.

- t .

Known for his enthusiastic back- irr; of local sport, Mr, lvlncDonald conceived the iden of installing an up to date bowling site there in the Summer of 194-8. and by the

fall of the same yea!‘ opened to the ‘

public six of the fittest. howling sl- leya m be foilrid In the Maritime Provinces, and gave it. the new name o1 The Roll-Away alleys.

O O I

Meeting with tremendous success in its first year of operation, Mr. MacDonald, in co-operation (with his son Roy. added four more al- leys to the site in the past sum- mar of 1049, and by last fall was accommodating bowling leagues from all walks of life at his 10- alley bowling emporium.

O O I

Ever since its initial opening in the fall of 104B. the site has been a bee-hive of bowling yctivity, and was one of the City's most popular sporting centres right up until the night of its destruction. Fire broke out early Wednesday evening to keep tiho City Firs Department battling the blaze for hours to prevent it from spreading further. Although they succeeded to that end. the site itself was completely destroyed and the City has lost its finest bowling site, until some pro- groaaive individual such as Mr. MacDonald builds a new one. But 1n the meantime, many bowling en- thusiasts will greatly miss their game of "candies" or “flvea" at the Roll-Anny.

P. S. S. Scores 6-1 Victory Over W. K. S.

Holding a 1-0 lead for two per- iods, the Prince Street School hockcyists came up with a wide- opcn scoring spree to chalk up five goals and only allow one in return for a 6-1 victory over West Kent School in a scheduled City Interscholastic Hockey clash at the Forum last night.

The victory increased Prince Street's league leadership an extra two points and jacks their winning streak to three straight games in as many starts. They now hold a four point lead over second place Queen Square School, while W. KS. were left stranded in the collar with three lostses in three starts.

McFayden was the big gun for the winners when he came up with folir of his teams six goals and turn in a top-notch evening's performance. MacLeod and Mac- Lure came up with one each for their other two tallies. while Lewis and MacLure garnered two assists each and Hood and Kennedy one apiece.

White was the goalgetter for W.K.S. when he chalked up their lone tally of the game in the dy- .lng minutes of the last period. F. Kennedy sent him away in the clear with a passout to centre ice.

Not many Huns are in evidence but this is a good sign. The covey's are around nevertheless and are Ill splendid shape. Several covey's tot- ailing approximately 35 birds in each have been located, The Chok- ker partridge that were incubated

Reports from scctlors west of Summersido, at Fernwood iii the Bcdeque district and lit. Orwell in Queens county are very encourag- ‘ing. A flock of 2'1 was seen at Or- well inst week and the birds looked as big and plump as barnyard hens. They were caccy and wild nnd have learned to take care of them- selves. From observations to date it is bclicvcd that the Chukka-rs are allergic to dogs and will not lle to ll. Setter or Pointer so well as the Huns. When they take wing they are liable to fly a mile or further.
