BOWLING . HOCKEY WRESTLING

Cecil Alexander, Saint John, has turned his trio of campaigners over lo Irving Hastey. who was associa. led with Billy Keyes, st, smplwm living will train" them over the

' Fredericton raco track. - He will likely have‘ several others and be an important factor‘ at Maritime race irack meets this year.

Anyone who employs lvlir. Hastol will fifid him S, thoroughly capable ind reliable young mun. We have observed his work over many years lild consider him one of the but )1 the present day horsemen. You will relnembe that Billy Keyes took untied! quite leisurely, living at riotels and not exhibiting any “n- iue anxiety about his charges. The reason he could do this was Irving Fiastey. We‘ are sorry to see Billy out of the game, but glad to have Irving car-wills on and wish him through these columns the very best ruccess it is possible to attain.

l-forse rades were held at Dufferin Park track. Toronto. Jubilee Day, May 6th. ‘The fastest heat was 2.16% made by the slow class pacer Myrtle Grattan. 'I‘he.'e were several heat: better than 2.20. Considering the fact that Dufferin track is a. runners track and several seconds slow for turf racing, the time made is really wonderful for so early- in the season. ‘ _

Six hundred men, seven steam dilovels, flfity trucks and seven traction: are working day and night shifts to complete the million and a- half ‘dollar racing plant near Boston within sixty days. This ven- ture wlll‘be managed by Allan J. Wilson. formerly of Cardigan, and. he will stage several runlling meet- ings a d one Grand Circuit trotting and meetings there this sea- son. ‘

Five thciusand people turned out lastSunday at Indianapolis, Ind. to witness the showing of the u. s. Army ‘ Olympic equestrian team which will "represent that country ln Eilrope this year.

Ari” old‘ trainer recently made the miner-k that the morn; important part of colt education was the first haltering and later ground breaking when the youngster learned to stand. to stop and to go at the driver's pleasure. Later on when the time for making speed had arrived these first lessons in manners

lelded big dividends in well broken K0150! that can be depended upon when racing time arrives.

As there- are a Erect many young colts being raised in this country to-tallca part in futurities and future racing the above advice should not be unheeded but taken to heart. Them is also the tendency in this countny to underfeed colts. It is a great mistake. The damage done in early youth can never be repaired. One. has lust to look at the splendid specimens of standard bred and thoroughbred grovim, in Kentucky and other parts of the United States where liberal feeding is the order of the day, to realize that small rations mean stunted animals with very little possibilities or becoming saleable for drivers or‘ speed pur- poses. ,

. The annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Harness Racinfl A8- lociatiorl will be held in Summer- aide ‘ruesday evening. May 21st at mo PM. This is the second year of its existence and that it has| tustffiedritself is evidenced by the interest the our uncement of stakes for the season of 1935 has created. Not only is that interest svidlcnccd by the increased number 0f entories but by the increased breeding operations that has oc- curred.

I The promoters may well be proud bf theioontrdbuticn they have made towards the harness racing industry in Prince Edward Island, and we extend our congratulations to Presi- dent George Oa-lbeclc, Vice-Presl- dent Willard Kell-v and Secretary ‘P.

George A. Calibcck, President of the P. E. I. Harness Racing Club, Paid a short visit to Charlottetown ‘Ibursay and was very heartily greeted by numezous friends here. We B16 Iliad to have George taking such an interest in the horse game and are confident it is a good thing f0: George, as the terrific grind he undergoes in connection with the Canadian National pelt depart- ment requires that he take some liecrea-tion in ilhe off-season. We understand that he has recently purchased a two-year-old and hope to see him right in the forefront of the futurity battle that will occur later 0n in the season.

A sure sign that,‘ spring is here is the filling up of the stalls at the race track with candidates for turf honors. Yesterday morning the writer paid a visit to the track. which by the‘ way is in the best shape for years, and saw a lot of futurlty prospects and others going through their preparation.

Billy Moveagh was up behind a three-year-old by Great Briton 2.02% out‘ of Margaret Grattan‘ 3.15 that can trot a storm. ‘ f»

Tom ‘Holmes had; the green trotter Almer Worthy arliile in 3.37 and he‘ was right in the bit. Yesterday he worked Lusty Frisco 2.71%, . (lharlie Chandler's good trotter. a. mile in 2.33 with the last quarter in 34% seconds.

Pat McKenna has five head and expects two or three more. Nearly all his string are owned by Jimmie Power the well known taxi man, and include Winnie 'Winkle 2.12% that will be painted for a lower record. Two and three-year-old futurity material and some green prospems make up the balance.

Billy has not experienmd the winning habit since he drove Captain Jackson 2.15% but this year with the better material in training his friends think that the uznial “Professor” will stage a. come-back.

Orin Jaidine who had some nice rides last yea/r behind Betty S. 2.0’! ‘and Bellini Scott 2.09%. etc., arrived from New Brunswick a. few days 8-80 with two “mystery hosses." He claims that only the "boss" knows their omens and he won't tell until he is good and ready. "Who's the boss?" you will ask. It is none other than W. G. White, a lumbermsn in a. big way who calls Bathurst, N. B. his home.

Orin took the rugsoff for me and the first one looked at was a big chestnut pacer with the very best of feet and legs, not unlike Guy the ‘Pl-amp in some ways but per- haips a bit taller. He is eligible to the slow class and looks as though he can give a good account of him- self in any company.

he has a throe-year-old belonging to Prank McKay. and in the other a futurity candidate by Great Briton out of Bonnie ” . be- longing to Junos Arbing. Austin is a horse lover and his shark" W" groomed to perfection. One can b0 sure that he will take the [fittest interest and care of the animals pacer his charm.

When the slave hunters applied their calling in Africa. up until 1833 when slavery was outlawed by the British House of Commons, they selected from the African tribes ‘he strongest and healfhest speci- vrons they could find.
