Last Saturday's night races at the Charlottetown Driving Park

attracted the largest attendance of the season. The finishes were really splendid and called forth the greatest enthusiasm. Among the horses that reduced their rec- ords was the pacer Alan Mac by Abner T. Clegg 2.00.5. owned by Lorne McFarlane. Summerside. and driven by George Sobey, from 2.17 to 2.15. Another winner from the western part of the Province was Abner the Great 2.12 325, owned by James Heffell of summerside and driven by George Sobey. 'His time was 2.14. The surprise of the Free For All was the winning of the first heat by the trotter Nell Kalmuck 2.10, owned and driven by Willard Kelly, in with a bunch of last record pacers that includ- -d Colonel Looker 2.07 U5. Lock Hanover 2.07 225, Mannister Dir- ect 2.05. Filbert 2.09 and Babe Brit- tun 2.09 425. Neil's win was loudly rpplauded, and her time - 2.12 U5. Neil's win was loudly applaud- ed. and her time-2.12 QI5-was the fastest of the night. Colonel Looker, owned and driven by Sam Kennedy, won the, second dash in 2.13 1K5. O O I The little free-legged pacing mare lola Henley that returned to the races less than two weeks ago. astonished the fans present at Truro last Saturday night by win- ning the first heat of the fastest class in 2.08 US, reducing her rec- 0rd from 2.0853. She is owned and was driven by Clayton MncLcod. westville. But an almost greater performance was that of the run- ner up - Seven Up Direct 2.10 325. driven by Lloyd Walker that from a. slow getaway finished right -at Iola I-Ienley's pad. Parties pres- '.ent claimed that he paced in 2.07 375. Iola I-lenley's mark is a ;new record for Truro Raceway. The former pacing record of 2.0811 'r-ras held jointly by Rhea Mae 12.0414 (Joe O'Brien) made Sept- tember 1st. 1943. and Lew McKin- '!"cy 2.0216 (Chas. Clarke). made September 13. 1944. In the second heat of the fast class the pacer Nlctory Dale 205 3(5 (Cruik- 'shahk), owned by Bert Cruik- shank, Halifax. won in 2.08 225 with Seven Up Direct second. Iola Henley 3rd. Other winners were the trotter Friar 2.0911 (Gould) that won Races 5 and 8 with Bud Ralmuck (Given) second each trip. Johnny Conroy was first to the wire in Race No. 1 with Billy Kal- muck in 2.19 315 and second to, Nova. G (Haley) in Race No 4 in 2.17 -V5. Johnny also drove the four-year:-old Freddie Scott to vic- tory in Race No. 7 in 2.15 2'5 - a new record for Freddie, He is owned by Dr. J. A. Donahoe of Truro. and is by Simcoe Harvest- er 2.0-iii. dam. Plucky Scott 2.06 and is certainly a very much im- proved pacer. O 0 Last Saturday night the over 2000 harness horsei. fans who at- tended the races at Cape Breton Sports Centre. were treated to one of the best programs in a long. long time. The track must have been in mighty good order because in the match race between Vella La Vella, owned by Arthur Lipton of Sydney and driven by Joe Mac- Donald, Vella won from P.J Cad- 'cgan's Ohio Hal, driven by Wor- reil Lewis, in 2.08 35, but the Hal pacer was so good that it took a photo finish to name the victor. Those Iof us who remember the chunky black pacer when he came here a couple of years 1180 had no idea that he would show free for all speed, but good care and training and good breeding brings its own reward and our contrai- Llatlons to owner and driver, The Junior Free For All was a battling good affair with four fast pacers.

St. Peters Raceway was all doll- ed u for the occasion Wednesday afte oon. The track was perfect. showing just the print of the horses hooves and between heats was carefully brushed and water- ed. The stands and everything that needed paint had been fresh- ened up and remembering the good programs of previous years over 2,000 people were .present. Every heat was a battle royal with photo finishes called for several times. In the classified trot the Peter Astra, filly Anyway, owned by Roy Bevan and driven by Roach McGregor, making her first ap- pearance, won and took a credit- able record of 2.17. The second heat was won by the very reliable Rutherta. (Moreside) and the third heat by little Judy Kalmuck, own- ed by Lester Johnson and driven by Willard Kelly. Everyone knew that this well bred mare had speed but in previous appearances she had changed to the pace or did something that kept her from making the headlines. However. her win was a nice one in 2.18 2X5 from Rutherta and in the race oif Rut-herta was first in 2.19 U5. She i: owned by Oliver Gallant. who has picked up quite a piece of change with her this season.

In the No. 1 Classified Trot Jen- nie Kalmuck 2.11 US showed again that she is probably the peer of any trotter in the Mari- times over the three heat route. The pacer Time Table looked like a winner in the first heat until the last 30 yards when Jennie flashed by in 2.13 (N5. In the sec- ond heat Rosalie Hooper. splen- didly handled by Willard Kelly. was leading until about 25 yards from the wire when,. Jennie out- footed her to win in the fastest heat of the afternoon-2.12 25. The track trotting record is 211 made by Lee Brewer 2.0633 and driven by Emmett Bernard. Aug. 31. 1949.

In the second heat Bonnie June (Cor- mier) went to the front early and won in 2.21 V5. with Sister Mary (W. Kelly) 2. In the third heat Lindy H. was leading at the three- quarters and on the lower turn was being pushed by Ciipirilin Missouri (Lowery), then something happened and the Missouri horse turned head over heels with driv- er Lowery hurtling through the air.

Next week is going to be a busy one for officials and competitors in rifle and golfing circles when the two leading annual features in

will be held to activities here

both divisions highlight sporting that should provide interesting entertainment and the keenest calibre of competition for the many followers of both sports. The only complaint that spectat- ors might have who are interested in following both features. is the fact that they are being run off at the game time. commencing on Monday and continuing on to con- clude. on Thursday.

spotlighting the rifle competit- ions, scheduled to get underway at eight o'clock with practice rounds and opening competition at 8:30 in the DcBlois Brothers Match, will be the 79th holding of the Provincial Rifle Association's Annual Prize Meeting. The four days of competition will decide the Provincial champion marks- men in senior. tyro and cadet div- isions. It will also select the members who will comprise thi- Island's 1951 representative team at the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association annual prize meet to be held later this summer at Ot- tawa, which in turn will select- next year's Dominion team that will compete at 131519.)".

If numbers are an indication of the ultimate success of the meet. then this year's event should be one of its best in history. Nearlv sixty entries from among the Is- land's leading marksman have al- ready been recelved and many more are expected before the matches get underway. High 5001'" ing and close competitive shooting has aways been a prominent fea- ture of this annual rifle meeting that boasts a long, successful his- tory that is now well beyond the three-quarter century mark. and the forthcoming prize meet is not expected to be m exception - un- less it prove to be an even 8793” or success.

The record run of sea trout that set in during Festive Week has absorbed heavy punishment. Trout can take all that an angler can throw at them in the way of hook and line and still come up smil- ing. I'll admit a heavy blob of worms manipulated by I fisher- man with patience and 'know how' will feel a lot of the cagey big 'uns but it is the 'jigger', 'net- ter' and what have you, that cuts deep into the rank of the finny schools and sends the few sur- vivors darting for parts unknown at the mere dfmiple of an artific- ial fly on the surface.

On Thursday morning of this week. as the clear light that pres- ages the rising of the sun threw every stone and pebble on the bottom into clear relief, I stood on a foot brid-ge across a noted trout pool and gazed into its transparent depths. In the past I have stood over the same pool

, and watched a dozen. sometimes

many more. big trout milling aim- lessly around or have spotted the nose lips and the wide fluke tails of several old wallopers protrud- ing past the edges of 14 inch wide stringers lying athwart the pool bed. This pool issiiuated on a former old mill site.

I wasn't a fishin' bent . , , jug: sort of on the prowl . . . but nev- ertheless it puzzled me to see the Pool so devoid of life. Withal I wasn't greatly puzzled as to the cause as the pool banks were trampled hard by countless human feet. As I iurned:to leave I spit on the poo1's placid surface and, as the water dimipled. a trout over a foot long darted from under a stringer in a mad dash that took

-it into nowhere faster than it

takes to write it. Later when the sun came up it took just a. flick- er of my shadow over a pool to send any trout in it scurrying for parts unknown. That trout stream had had it. The only fish an angler could hope to hook there. unless in the wee ans” hours of the morning. would be 3 green-horn fresh from the sea.

. . .

This situation applies to many pools and streams. Fishermen on the prowl in quest of trout on all streams and at all hours of the

day and night witness msny' such
