We had the pleasure in com- pany with Director Gordon Hughes of the Provincial Exhibi- tion Association, of seeing The Great Dan Patch on the screen Thursday night. The Prince Ed- ward was packed to the doors and we understand similar crowds have been attending since. It was a good story of the greatest pacer that ever lived, but of courts only a small part of his exploits could be given in the short time which involved a story going back to the history of his dam. Dan Patch! biggest suc- ces came when he was purchased for $80,000 by M. W. Savage, pro- prietor oif International Stock Farm and International Stock Feed: and remedies. Mr, Savage was many years ahead’ of con- temporaries as an advertiser. He. knew the value of printer's ink and splashed the exploits of Dan Patch in every newspaper where he would be giving exhibitions, and also the country for miles and miles around with posters pictur- lng Dan Patch and driver Myron McHerir-y. Considerable of the credit for Dan Patch‘: showing must go to McHenry, known as the Wizard of the Sulky. He was a short, stout man with reddish hair and one of the greatest driv- ers that ever lived. For him Dan Patch would give his best on all occasions.

After McHenry left iha employ o! Mr. Savage Harry Hersey took over and Dan‘: speed feats did not seem to suffer in the hands of another master reinsman. It is estimated that in 1904, the year that Harry Hersey took over, Dan Patch entertained audiences esti- mated to have numbered 600,000 people. He had travelled 10,000 miles to meet them. On his re- turn to Minneapolis at the end of the season he was met with a brass band and escorted through the streets of the city by a parade of 40,000 home town admirers. In 1905 the crowds that came to see Dan Patch were larger than ever. 00,000 at the Minnesota State Fair greeted him. At Indianapolis he had an audience of 55,000. The banner crowd that year was Qt Allentown, Pa, which boasted a half-mile track instead of the re- gulation mile which Dan had been won't to perform over: 82.000 peo- ple xwamped the facilities of tho race course on Dan Patch dav.

It was in I005 at Lexington that Dan Patch paced the mile in 1.55 1-4 that stands on the books of harness racin-g as his fastest record. Up until a few years ago it remained there vrhen Billy Di- rect erased it with a mile in 1.55 over the same track. Dari

All the horse-racing fans of PEI. are talking about the Dan Patch show at the theatre this week; out at the College on the hill, the students are reminiscing over, not the race horse of yes- tcrday. not the turf grants of l1!- morrow, but. the actors and aci- resses of today, whom they last night witnessed on the stage dur- ing the first section of n long- awaited St. Dunstanb Drama Fer.- tival. Students from four classes, Grades X, XI. and XII and Fresh- man year, proved their worth and acted their way to fame in their respective plays, "Feed Store Mys- tery", “The Seventh Doctor", “IlI:", and “Gone Tomorrow". Just how many will have "gone tomorrow" for their screen test at Hollywood cannot be determined until after the judging on the completion of the second section on next Tues- day night, comprising students from Sophomore. Junior. and Sen- ior years. Music and singing were provided during the intermissiona by our campus old time band, with Wendell MacIntyre at the piano. and the Hickey brothers, Arnold and Edgar. with guitar and vio- lin; 5 piano solo by Rene Tremb- lny; a solo by Guy Germain, and, last but not least, the French Can- adian chorus. capahly dlrcﬁi/ed 0i’ Jgoqueq Morenfy.‘

Patch’: fastest mile was in 1905 n tn- Minnesota state Fair be- fore a crowd of 93,000 paid ad- mission: — the largest that ever assembled at any harness racing track anywhere. He paced the mile in 1.55 behind a pacemaker and because of that and a ruling nf the governing body cf the sport the mile record of 1.55 was not

recognized. ,

Dan Patch entertained the pub- lic for ten years and the crowds never grew tired of him. Dur- ing his decade on the turf he paced 75 miles at an average speed of 1.59 1-2 and lowered \vorId's.re- cords fourteen times. To millions of people Dan Patch was neither a racing machine nor an advertis- ing card for his owner's products. but an embodiment of gentle and heroic virtues. A noted writer. John Hervey, paid this tribute to him: "He was in every sense a royal horse. There has nevcr

been another like him."
