2N at Sarstoga and that year as a four-year-old he set the world's record for a mile and a half by a trotter at 3.06 llo. He is by Wor- thy Boy 3, 2.02il, and his dam is Star Drift 2.03 by Mr. McElwyil 1.5915. '

We had a pleasant visit from our friend James L. Head of Truro, who is paying his annual visit to the Province and renew- ing his many friendships. As usual we talked horse and of some of the long ago races when Ham- mond Kelly was out in front so many times with horses that he bought at the New York auc- tions. Mr. Reed is In perfect health and no doubt one of the reasons is his love of horses and horse racing. He never fails to attend the meetings at Truro and thinks that the management has done a wonderful job in improv- ing the track, stables and other facilities and that their race pro- grams are of the best.

Among the new records taken since last Saturday's notes was that of Bonnie Frisco Can, owned by Messrs. Clark & Horne, Sum- merslde, and driven by George Sobey. This mare and Bessie Bud- long'(Collins) had a pacing duel to the half in 1.05 U5 and fin- ished the mile with Bonnie in the lead in 2.14 3x5. Norine Grattan, owned by Arnett Bell and driven by Cyril Smith, also lowered her record to 2.19 M5.

The Prince Edward Island Har- ness Racing Club's Colt Stakes drew a nice attendance Wednes- day night and were certainly most interesting. In the Three Year Old Trot a potential star showed up in Ginger Worthy, by the Volonllto stallion Ginger, dam, June Worthy, owned and driven by George MacDonald. Mermaid. George has a track on his farm and gave Ginger Worthy nlost of his training there. His third mile in 2.20 (NS was an excellent per-

formance for a three-year-old making its first start under the lights. New Forest iO'Mearal

owned by Mrs. Poulton, Charlotte- town. won the first heat in 2.27 IV5. The Two Year Old Pace was won ill straight henna by Flickn McElwyn, by Abner T. Clegg 2.0-ilg, dam, that good race mare Babe McElwyn 2.00i,t,. With such ancestry one could expect niucll and she showed it. Our congratu- lations to the owner, Rev. W. E. Monzlghan. on what appears to be a future 2.10 pacer. George Sobey, Summel-side, whom we have al- ways considered one of our top trainers, brought another star pacer out in Just Rita, bred and developed by James O'Brlen,Eln1s- dale. She won all three dashes. In the first she went away in sixth place and before the quarter was reached was out in front. She was up against the real thing in Royal Brink, Vernlta Pearl, Money Royal and others. that have shown ability to pace in 2.15, but she had just. a hit. too much class

THE LIFE LINE

mare 2.o9l,4,. was one of the hard- iest pacers of a few years ago and of course her sire, Abner T. Olegg 2.o4is, was a star three-year-old. Royal Bank. holder of the Mari- time bred record for two-year-old pacers, was 2-2-2. The Two Year Old Trot was won by Robert Lee by Pagliacci, owned by Mrs. James Poulton, Charlottetown, and driv- en by Len O'Meara, with 1-1. The dam of this trotter is Charlotte B. 2.0BV,, by a former world's champion. Cold Cash l.58'A. Just A squire by Squire Hanover, own- ed by the J tamere stables and driven by Don Seaman. surprised and delighted the many friends of Dr. R. F. Seaman by being 2-2. A feature of the evening was the presentation of really beautiful coolers, presented by the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Club, to each of the winners.

Thursday night's Goodwlll Races had a good attendance despite the fact that rain threatened -all through but very little fell. In the first dash Arionway, well-bred son lof Peter Astra 2.0155, owned and driven by Harold Cudmore, won in 2.19, lowering his record by two and two-fifths seconds, and the Moncton-owned Hcnan Crowley 2.07, owned and driven by Henry Cormier of that city, won the second dash in 2.16 with a bunch of horses right on his neck- tie. Second was Marion E. W. Kelly) stepping her best mile of the season. In the sixth dash with the same field Amtico (Summers) came through Just a couple of lengths from the wire and won by a nose. The horses were literally in a bunch. It was one of the best finishes of the season, time, 2.15 U5. Amtico is owned by the Mapco Stables, summersld. Sec- ond was Frankie Budlong (Low- eryl and third was Henry Day (L. Kelly). Mr. Cormier, owner of Honan Crowley, made many -friends during his short stay here and he is so interested in harness races that he plans on adding one or two more to his stable. Just recently he acquired Johnny Con- roy's old standby, Sandy D. 2.09'.”..

Captain Missouri, owned and driven by Sam Kennedy, won botll the third alld seventh dashes. He is certainly closing the season with a bang. Second the third dash was Lady Abner (Smith) and in the '1th dash, Chocolate Dip iMoreside). From the head of the stretch to the wire every driver was fully alive. It was another wonderful finish? In fact the whole evening was full of them. Argot Pointer. owned and driven by Horace Willis, won the fourth dash in 2.11 U5 with Prince Bud- long (Cudmore) 2. Babe Brltton iO'Meara) 3. In the eighth dash with the same. field Johnnie Kal- muck made one of his character- istic last quarter sprints, going around the field and winning by a head at the wire from A. G. Scott, time, 2.11 (V5. The fifth and ninth dashes saw a field of the best trotters in the Province compete. Pet Hanover, owned by Roy Bevan, with Harold Stead up. won the fifth race in 2.14 and

Feather Duster (L. Kelly) won the ninth in 2.14 U5. Nell Kalmuck iiw. Kelly) was 2-2. It was an- nounced as the last appearance of that grand performer Wait N'See

in. 2.11, t. 2.1l V5, that has been 3,5

so popular through the years with the spectators. Owner George lGregory has loved this horse and lhas always taken the best of care of him and he has responded to it, and driver O'Meara has hand- led him in recent years. since he was sold by Willard MacDonald, ,Summerslde, and driven by Wil- lard Kelly.

Day. October lath, with eight or nine dashes a night. In the faster classes the horses will go two dashes and purses will range from 8125 to 8200 per dash. with five monies and free entrance to non- money winners. Last Wednesday night the track record was broken by Empire State 2.10 SIS, owned and driven by George Irving, Eexton, N.B.. time, 2.14. He is a seven-year-old by His Majesty, and has during his racing career won about 310,000. Second was Flaxey Pointer, and third, Adagio". Empire State also won the lilnth race in 2.14 U5. Second to him was our old friend Monty Bud- long, owned by Lloyd McKinney, Gagetown. Another straight heat. winner was Dr. Bunter (Wood).

Thousands of friends of Fred Lahey of Dartmouth, N. 5., will be glad to learn that the operation which he underwent early this week has been successful and ex- cellent hopes are held out for a complete recovery to health of the genial Fred. Fred has been one of the mainstays of racing in the Maritimes for years. a modest winner and the best of losers. He has owned top pacers and trotters including Jollity, holder of the Maritime. record for pacers- 2.05V4.

There is always something new

turning up at Truro in the line of record breaking. Last Wednesday night Nova G.. owned by Mrs. El- izabeth Weeks. Port Wallis, and driven by Scott Weeks, lowered his record twice during the night, finally ending up with 2.12 3l5. Top racing performances were stepped in the sixth and ninth laces. O. K. Volo (Haley) won the former in 2.11 with Joey Har- vester (Conroy) 2, and Joey Har- vester won the ninth with the same field in 2.10 V5 with O. K. Volo second. 0. K. is owned by L. F. Blclrerton, Amherst, and Joey by Lahey as McNeiil. Joey has disappointed us a bit as we predicted 2.10 for him, but he has come within two-fifths of it sev- eral times and we hope he will hit it before the season ends. Last Saturday night at the Sports Centre, Sydney. a regret- table accident occurred. Just as the horses were coming to the wire the sulky drawn by Volon, driven by Don Ratchford, was broken. Don Jumped clear and the horse raced around the track to the stable, where it was found that he had suffered a severe cut on his leg and had to be drawn. Owner Richard Jabalee bought this pacer in Ohio recently after he had shown some very fast miles and many will feel sympa- thy' for him. Through the years Mr. Jabalee has owned some of the best and has always been a great friend of the management of the Charlottetown track.

There's a bumper crop of ducks this season particularly blacks and blue-wing teal. The season has been dry and many pot holes have gone dry con- sequently there ara some very heavy concentrations in certain localities where water and food conditions are favourable. O O O

This week I stopped at a farm- house in Kings County. In a tidal pool less Qn 75 yards from the barn I counted 17 blue-wing teal and in an adjacent pot hole three blacks were preening their feath- ers. The farmer told me they paid no attention to him when he drove past on his way to the shore. I've seen some heavy flights of ducks this week and feeding concentra- tlom up to three and four hundred birds are not ncommon. I have an idea that the ducks are in for a hot time on October lst as a lot of first year llunters have bought guns and are all set fo their init- latlon. Here's a tip boys . . . don't fire at ducks at extreme ranges and don't shoot birds when chan- ces of finding them, if you do make a kill, are 10 to 1 against you. A duck that is shot and not fou does nobody any good unless its prowling fox,

The Hun and pheasant prospect is brightening with every passing week. Both species easily surpass last season. There are some who express doubts about our Hun crop but everyone is entitled to his own opinion. If one feels there are no Huns worth hunting on the go, the simplest thing to do is to stay at home . . .. unless one wants the exercise. A lot of observers are re- porting seeing wildgeese this past week so some lucky duck hunter may have the chance of adding a
