The harness horse papers are full od Hi-Lo Forbes and Henry Clukey since his wonderful mile at Roosevelt Raceway half-mile track last aaturday night when he set a. world's reooni for that type of oval at 1:58It pacing. It clipped one second of! the record made by Sampson Hanover in 10511 at Delaware, Ohio. Meadow 3, 1.58tfi. driven by Jimmie Jordan, was caught in 1.50. In the photo- iinisb he appears back just on I level with Harry Clukey. The faotional times for the mile were, first half, 589t,,second half 1.00. For making this world's record the management of Roosevelt Raceway presented Harry Clukey with a cheque for 55.00) -- truly a mar- velous gift. Third horse was the pacer Thomas B. Scott, that had paced the fastest mile at Yonkers this season-2.02. When one con- siders the many great horses that have raced over Roosevelt the per- formance of 1-11-14) Forbes and the bringing him to such a state of perfection. by Clukey, is to say the least. wonderful.
Our friend W. R. Godfrey drap- ped in to see us on his return from Montreal this week, where he was overseeing his photochart system at Blue Bonnets track. He showed us pictures of the finishes that were what we would call perfect, and he said that Lucien Chart:-and, the manager. was delighted with them. They had never had any- thing to compare with them previ- ously. Mr. Godfrey said that it rained every day for the first few days racing but they kept on and when the riders would finish their silks were saturated with mud. We were shown a picture of the pari-mutuel machine and the fin- ish, with the large mirror re- flecting the riders and horses, which is a part of the equipment of running tracks. .
On the opening day the thous- ands of people passed 0191.000 through the muteuls and on Coro- nation Day, 3210.000. Last Satur- day afternoon there was a tre- mendous crowd. upwards of 15,000. It rained. out the ball games and Richelieu Park harness racing and this helped Blue Bonnets. The condition of the track was listed as "sloppy". said Mr. Godfrey - which it was. Mr. Godfrey left Jack Carr of Mar-shfiold in charge

Mr. Godfrey had a chat with Elmer Ferguson. who is sports editor of the Montreal Herald. and he is also one of the Judges at Blue Bonnets. During the intervals be- tween the races Elmer is pound- ins out an account of the races for his newspaper. He is a Prince Edward Islander, was born at 19 Douglas street, Charlottetown. and his Quite a number of relatives here. In his write up Elmer has this:-"The reason why results are being flashed on the board much more rapidly than previously. af- ter a camera finish, is that the judges' stand is now equipped with B 13-1'59-Elle projector, on which the finish is flashed less than I minute after the end of the rack . . . one of the many improve. ments at the course . . . than is ., photoohart production . . . and by far the best we've had here . . . this is a Canadian company leased to God-frey Racinf Services, at Charlottetown. P.E.1., and gave” the extensive Maritime harness racing circuit."
Eddie Colo, well known black- smith of Mayfield, and the man who started Buddy Clegs 2.1643, M093 C1988 214?:-. and others on their racing career, will take over the blacksmith's quarters at sum. merside Raceway. He will have s. commodious and properly equip. ped shop with good facilities for working at that trade at which he is an expert. Eddie will also do a bit of training with the two pacers, Ill Conto, that he re- ceived as part payment for Mona. Clegg, and Gingerbread Man, that paced quarters in 30 seconds over the ice last winter.
At Roosevelt Raceway last week Earle Avery won the B Pace. purse 33.500. with Uhieen Fingo. a 3- year-old by Calumet Fingo, dam, Uhieen Atbbe, in the fast time of 2.06. A couple of nights previously he won the 2.22 Trot. purse 52,000 with the 3-year-old Memory Song by Victory Song, in 2.1414, and the B Trot.

Henry Clukey, 65-year-old har- ness horse racing grandfather, serves as his own blacksmith in addition to training and driving his trotters and pacers . . . The fastest harness horse in training today is the pacer Direct Rhythm that has a. mile in 1.5686 for the mile distance . . .

The season's race mark at Saint John Raceway was lowered for the third time this season last Wed- nesday night when Monty Bud- long, owned by G. R. Armstrong, of Saint John and driven by him. headed Miss Donna Mae (H. Mac- Intosh) to the wire in the 9th dash in 2.15. On the previous Fri- day night the pacer Bonus Abbe, owned and driven by Lloyd Mc- Kinney, Gagetown, paced in 2.15;; to beat the season's record of 2.15218. Bon-us Abbe in doing so made a new record for himself. Photo finishes had to be taken twice during the night when Dannie Scott (Cass) owned by C. B. Smith, French Village, and Budwin, owned and driven by Len Queen of Wellsford. finished heads apart, the former getting the de- cision in the 2nd and 5th dashes. That is a. new record for Dannie. In the 3rd and 7th dashes honors were divided between Miss Play- iair, Willard Kelly's former pacer now owned by L. C. Dysart of Irishtown and driven by Ed Go- guen, that won the 3rd dash in 2.19 from Viola McKinney, own- ed by Bert Queen and driven by C. Wood.
The old war horse, O.U. Volo :.'.l0'x”2. that has been racing around the Maritimes for 12 or 13 years and is now 1'! years old. got a new lease of racing life by a. change in the U.S.T.A. rules permitting horses 15 years and over to race in the Maritimes and he showed fans that he had lost none of his finishing punch by putting on a last desperate sprint and win- nlng in 2.19 from Jean Aubrey. driven by Roy Creamer. O.U. Volo was a favorite here years ago when in the stable of Harold Stead and many fans will be glad to learn about his activities.

Saint John. and driven by Walter
Craig winning the 4th in 2.1633. The recently imported pacing star, Ramona Chips, owned by the
Bright Spot Club, Saint John. and
driven by D. Lawson. won the filial dash in 2.15, which eqtnlled the fastest time made this sea- son. Thelma Lou is a free-legged pacer and sometimes Jumps off but when she is on her stride she is really a high class mare. Next Tuesday night will be opening night at the Cape Bre- ton Sports Centre. Sydney. There will be a Junior free-for-all and four other classes. A total of 40 horses are on the eligibility list but only eight horses can start in a. dash. Glancing over last week's sum- murles at Roosevelt Raceway we notice that Earle Avery has been quite active. He was 4th in the BB Pace. purse s4,000. with Snap Up, time 2.07, was 3rd in the 2.22 Pace, purse 32,000 with Todd El- kington, time.2.09, 4th in the 2.22 Pace, purse 02,000 with Royal Bank, time 2.0735. 2nd in the B Trot, purse 52,500 with Jacksondale in 2.055.. 3rd in the BB Trot. purse 33.000 with Bertha Rosecroft .'n 2.0535 and 3rd in the A Pace. purse 33,500 with Choice Hanover in 2.059.-.. We notice that Joe O'Brien has arrived at Roosevelt and was second in the free-for-all trot purse s6,000 with Beck Han- over in 2.05'.6 and 2nd in the BB Pace. purse s3.000 with Mr. Prim- rose in 2.064s. It will probably take a couple of weeks before Joe will hit his stride as the change from the west coast to New York State will make quite a difference with the horses.

The Big Brook dam has created wide interest among the sporting fraternity. On Tuesday afternoon of this week I-rowed over the site with the owner Mr. Ross. It is even larger than the first esti- mate of 100 acres and is closer to double that figure. Allowing for bends and curves the water is backed up for approximately a mile or better and it took us three hours to make the survey. We got caught out in a thunder squall but even the downpour of rain around 6:00 pm. failed to dampen our enthusiasm. Our wildlife will benefit greatly with resultant in- crease in numbers.

The fear has been expressed by a number of sportsmen that this dam has been created expressly for the benefit of private inter- ests and there will be little or no public fishing. I brought this sub- ject up during the course of our row around the dam and Mr. Ross asured me that nothing was fur- ther from the truth. He informed me that he had received assistance in building the dam but he had full control of tho fishing rights. A number of safe. seaworthy boats were being built which would be rented to anglers for 31.00. No bean would be allowed n the pond except his own but every- one who applied ior a boat would be given one if it was available. The rules governing fishing on the Big Brook dam will be on practically the some basis as those ill effect on dams built and con- trolled by the Department of lu- clustry and Natural Resources.
:00
Fur'thet'more Mr. Ross inform- cd me that public fishing free of charge will be allowed on the Mc- Innis Brook.wilh the proviso that such fishing must be indulged in from the road bridge or from the banks. No free fishing from boats allowed. The Mclnnls Brook ran a close second to the Big Brook in trout fishing merits when the tide was riglit and many the 3 and 4 pounder blundered llltp s
