Tonight promptly at nine o'- clock the first of six dashes will be raced at the Charlottetown Driving Park. It will be the com- mencement of night racing in the Maritlmcs, in fact there is only one other track in Canada, Rich- alieu Park, Montreal, which ll equipped to hold theni, The inan- lgement have gone to consider- iblo expense and effort to pro- vide the best lighting system av- allable and tonight you will have an idea why so inziny people at- tend Roosevelt RilCel-Yily and other night racing plants in the United States. Sonic 32 horses are entered in the six events and are classi- fied as evenly as possible so that close finishes with the excitement which they engender should be numerous.

Guhs Lose To Bobby Suckers

Last evening in a league fixture of the Knights of Columbus Girls Softball schedule, the Bobby Sock- ers with consistant hitting defeat- ed the Cubs 10 to 11.

The winners, who have not. yet suffered a defeat in the schedule. were in top form last evening at bat. and well deserved the victory.

The losers are gaining confi- dence and are showing hetter hall with every game and it looks like a good series when playoff time rolls around.

For the losers, Kay Barrett looked tops with Marion Math- eson showing up to advantage with a homer and a spectacular catch.

For the winners. K. White top- pcd the Suckers, with good sup- port by Joan MacDonald. Wanda MaoMillan and Stephanie McNeill.

They lined up as follows:-

Bobby Backers: M. Lund, M. Doyle. P. Crawford, E. Gills, S. McNcill. A. Keys J. MacDonald, K. White, W. MacMillan.

Cubs: K. Barnett, D. Matheson. J. Jay. L. MrKinnon. M. Matheson.

But as we stated before it ap- pears quite evident that the nt-, tendancc angle will prove quite‘ satisfactory.
