Since last week a number of horses have taken new records. notably, the four-year-old Peach Butter (T. Mauger) that lowered his record from 2.09 U5 taken at Sydney. to 2.08 315 at Charlotte- town last Saturday night. He won the first and third. heats in me Free For All with Cheeky Chief (T. Weir), owned by Wal I-lennessey. winning the middle one also in 208 (V5. It was a wonderful Free For All for so early in the season with all the other horses helping to make the show a success. The whole card last Saturday night was an ex- cellent one. Nell Kalmuck trot- ted her fastest heat in the past two seasons. winning in 2.11 2x5 tor owner-driver Willard Kelly.

On Wednesday night more re- aords were lowered at Charlotte- town with the trotter Milldale. owned and driven by Willard Kelly. taking a new mark of I15 N5. Miss Donna Mae. owned by Lorna Letcher and driven by L O'Donnell. lowered her record '5 2.11 and Miss Commando. own- ad by Dr. Preston Mclntyre and driven by A. Llewellyn lower-

g her record from 2.15 25 to

.13. Top driver of the night was Willard Kelly with Milidale. Lucky Number. Mannister Direct and have with Neil Kalmuck. a total or five wins.

Mary Mcrk. making her linnl Itart before leaving for Lewis- ton, Maine. raced in the No. A Classified Trot and Pace It Truro Wednesday night. Driver-owner Earle Semple had no idea what he was up against figuring that I mile in 2.14 would do the trick. but not so. Luther Hanover led off with the first quarter in thirty seconds, the half in 1.03 with Mary Merk tucked in behind. Mary was pulled out on the stretch and was seemingly going in an easy win when suddenly O. K. Volo. driven by Johnny Conroy. was It Earle's shoulder. 'A tsp of the persuades and Mary

er to the wire in 2.11 with 0.K. Vole at her wheel-equalling the hstcst mile of the seoso which was paced by Victory Dale 2.05 IK5. June 27th. Mary Merk also won the second heat from O. K. Volo and others in 2.11 215. Nev- er in our recollection has there been a green trotter attain such I low record so early in the sea- son in the Maritinies. Bill Sharen raced two years before he took his Maritime record of 2.1.) !M It Fredericton and later at Charlottetown. Harvest Melody from Newfoundland. mnkiris her first start in a race in August. 1936, trotted the first mile in 2.10 V2 and the second n 2.10 IM. to equal the track tro ting record. There is no doubt that had Mary Merk been forced throughout the mile she would have shaded 2.10. After the race the owner was contacted by three horsemen from Rimouakl. Que.. and asked in put I price on her but as far as we can learn he has not done so.

That same night at Truro the hotter Cumberland Scott that was raced by Harold Stead last son- Ion won the No. 1 Classified Trot and Pace from I good field in 117 1-5, driven by Johnny Con- roy. That is I drop of nearly four seconds from his inst Year's re- cord.

AI. Sydney Sports Centre Tues- hy night Ohio Hal (W. Lewis) won the first and fourth races. but time 2.10 M. second to him in the first race was trotter itsiah Hanover 2.10 2.5 (Shore). Rajah is apparently coming into his own. A popular win was that of Bob Long (smith) in the fifth and eighth "Cal. the latter in 2.16 with Lil- lian Budlong (Campbell) second. Shining Hour (W.

One of the biggest-one involv-

the '

horse transactions was completed last night when the four-year-old pacer Peach Butter 2.08 CV5. elig- ible to the 2.21 pace and the win- ner of the Free For All It Char- lottetown last Saturday night. changed hands. being purchased by Joseph and Gerald Moreau of Rlmouaki, Quebec. from Harry Hirsch of Sydney. N.S. Peach Butter, it will be remembered. was bought by Mr. Hirsch from Reed Bros., Fort Falrfieid, Maine. a few weeks ago for 54.500 anti has won all three starts since from high class fields. The Messrs. Moreau.are heavily inter- ested in the Rimouski race track. recently rebuilt and equipped with electric lights and all the paraphernalia for afternoon or night racing. Their opening meet a week ago drew 7.000 spectators and they plan to race Wednesday afternoons and Sunday nights throughout the season. We asked if pari-mutuel betting was in vogue there and they said yes. Both these gentlemen and Mr. Richard Tlilcbeault who accom- panied them as interpreter, were very much pleased with the re- ception given them by the horse- men here. They said they were very much taken with the trottcr. Mary Merl: and would like to have,had her with them when they went away. Harm-ss racing. they said, is growing by leaps and bounds in public popularity with the Montreal track, the Quebec track, Three Rivers Track and Rimouski all equipped for night racing.

The popular Coveiicad Race Track. the track that has always given an exceptionally good race card and never disappointed the public, will hold four race events next Wednesday afternoon. July 18th. Charlie Willis has always had the faculty of classifying his entries so that finishes are close and exciting. This meet will be no exception. Some of the fast- est miles in the Marilimes have been registered over that oval. which is always kept in perfect condition. We are looking for ward as no doubt thousands or others will be. to next Wednes- day's racing there. i

Tonight another bang-up race card. similar to that of last Satur- day night, will take place at the Charlottetown track. At eight o'clock I number of young trot- iers Ind pacara will line up -be- hind the Gate for I friendly race. some of them may be future c.hIm- pions, They are well-bred and need only years and training to show their class. Pr-omptly at 8.80 the program will be on its way. Don't miss it - the summer is short, so seize every opportunity to watch the trotters and pacers in action.

Again our congratulations to the very energetic and painstaking secrets y of the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Club. Bill Gillespie, for the xceptionaliy large number of paid up entries which he has received for the Two Year Old, Three Year Old and Four Year Old Futuritios. both trot Ind pace,-the total being 90. representing every part of this Province and many from the mainland. Looking back over the years we can pick out dozens of great trotiers and pscers that got their first racing experience through these Futuritles. All hon- or to the men, from Dr. R. F. Sea- man. its President. through the Directors Ind to Secretary Gilles- pie for promoting them . . .

I moved upstream. away from the ugly gash on the face of Nature. and rounding a bend came face to face with I Kil- mulr Scotsman and a farmer to boot. He had rolled his trous- ers up and was standing in mid- stream with ice cold water boil- ing past knees that were made to order for I kill. in case you are wondering how I happen to know what type of knees go well with I kill: in the year before the lat Great War I dear old Scotch lady in Calgary told me that I had perfect knees for a kill and his were dead ringers for mine.

He heaved I homemade fishing rod on the bank and waded ashore. We took time out and chatted, He told me that he hadn't had I nibble in an hour. Not many years ago he said that he could catch all the trout he wanted in fifteen minutes any time he took the notion to walk to the river. He passed some caustic remarks about those who clutwr up our beautiful streams and spoil the fishing. Later in the afternoon In American tour- ist lamented the changed con- dition on this stream. He said he returned to the Island this sea- son drawn by memories of last summer's angling on this once beautiful and clear flowing riv- er and the pleasurable feel of a fighting trout on a light fly rod. He fell. as if his holiday was ruined at its beginning.

our biggest asset in this Pro- vince is its attraction to tour- ists 72 per cent of whom inquire as to its trout fishing possibil- ities. Reliable figures submitted. that have been checked and re- checked, show that in excess of two million dollars in cold, hard cash, were left in this Province by visiting tourists during 1960. The bulk of this amount was donated by trout happy fisher-

men.

What are we doing to foster and promote this industry? Let no one attempt to deny that sport fishing is an industry. Any business that nets an annual pro- fit in the millions is industry in its purest form. At its present rate' of deterioration where is our sport fishing going to end?

Many people are asking those questions: Why should outside lumber interests be allowed to denude our forested hillsides and choke our streams with slash- ings? Why should starch re- fuse. with I sewerage content equal to a town of twenty-two thousand people. be dumped into the lap of Murray Harbor resi- dents? Why should motorists. both resident and tourist, have to drive through the pictures- que village of Hunter River with one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding on to their nose? Such doings do not add up to tourist attractions.

This is I democratic country. I free country, but withal none of us are entitled to more than half the road, It is not this col- unmist's intention to wage a one man war in this connection. I have only attempted to place the facts before you. In clos- ing I have this message to im- part lo the thousands of our re- sidents. the farmers, their wives and children. the dwellers in our urban centres, who love the sight of green stream banks. pure swift flowing water, the tug of a fighting trout on the end of I line, it you wish to preserve this right for yourselves and poster- ity you want to wake up. As the officiating clergyman re eats I wedding ceremony: "If In one present, etc.. etc.. let him speak now or forever after hold his peace." 1

lllosdlcls rose; he understood his dlsmisal. suddenly he made up him mind not to tell Burleson about Marl: yet. But he stopped It the door to send I shaft back. "You'll have to get someone else to help you out with Grant-if you want to start him-I've always be- lieved him guilty. you know." Burleson frowned slightly. "That shouldn't keep you from being fair." he said bruskiy; "it was un- premeditated; he's been punished." Fosdick grinned; the two old men were fairly matched, but the lawyer was the keener of the two; he saw that Burieson was nettied. "Any of your clerks can send out a check." he said, "or-shall I send Mark up to see you?"
