Sir, _ This past week ‘the r.- 51, Harness Racing Club has dialled out nomination forms for their eolt stakes to be held this mming Fall. For the past seven- men years these stakes or futur- ities have been an annual event in develop our colts, and this is our ugiitcelitii. .

as we all know. our Provincial government gavp a grant to our grgaflllfltlOll of $1.000 last year lo further encourage the breeding u standard Bred horses. I am “Lenard to say that this year, 1950. .lll'_v have made it ‘an annual iriillt. 'I‘o this amount our Club have added $400. making in all $1.4m. ~ the largest amount add- 94 since these stakes were inaug- tiraled. l..et us hope that our breeders generally \vli1 awreciate what our Government is doing to fricl‘ the breeding of Standard iii-eds by nominating and racing 111m vreil-brerl colts. i

One may ask, what makes a good tat-e horse? May I say, in my op- H.011, a good race horse must have i.i'.‘ following: good breeding. rpsrii, and manners, all three be- i _- of equal importance. With the piyrbfl‘ of ivell-bred mares and railions on P.E. 1., we should have the breeding. with careful train- : _ speed should develop, and -- h kindness and patience, they .-iiouiii becomewell mannered.

some may ask, "When should l ‘nrccd my mare". Again, if I may foal

gue my opinion, an early lvidlfid in January, February or ilai-eli, is a better prospect for

ant racing than a. foal fouled la- ‘rr One may say that our climate ‘.s such that it is too cold in the izrrnge barn for early foals. Vifhile I have to admit that this is a ‘EFIWDHCK, I feel sure with a little rare and s small expenditure s. box wall may be made in any of our WKCFXIRC barns that would be quite suitable add fit for early foe-ling. l realize some are against rac- :i..; colts, Others are, in favor of it. i know a lot of our farmers bred sxandard Breds to sell as colts to sane person who would perhaps like to train and race a oolt, and it a farmer has an early. well de- ‘uifnpcd year old. I feel sure ha. viii find n ready purchaser. This mast Fall, one man from the Un- 1m States purchased five colts fv inch he took to Maine, and there j-rre others. ' Our nominations for our colt ‘italics close March 1st _ second p.i._\‘n*.ent June 1st. May I suggest that anyone having a. promising. “Pv-bfed colt should have him restored "now" in our Canadian bialional Livestock Records, 0t- .l-'\\l’a, Then nominate his colt in .r>..' stakes and if he does not wish ‘to race the colt himself. he has a ‘batter chance to make a sale than if not nominated. Remember the ‘humiliation date. hfnrch 1st. i030. ,2. be sent to Mr. W. G. Gillespie. B»: 3'34, Chariottetowti, P.E.f.

When made out, they are placed between sheets of lemminaied plastic and rolled in a hydraulic press un- der 10,000 ibe. pressure for two 360 degrees, affer which they are pieced under 20.- 000 lbs. pressure for another min- uie, then removed from the press and trimmed. The result is a cerd of great durability, which can be handled almost indefinite- ly without becoming soiled or wrinkled. The nominal charge for the cards is the same as that charged for previous certificates.

Coun. 0’Donneil's Protest

Cutincillor Lester O'Donnell pro- tested the procedure used in the election of the committees heads on the ground that one Catholic Councillor was to be appointed chairman of one of the three sen- ior committees (finance, streets and. police) and that three Protestant Councillors had been actually ap- pointed to these offices.

Mayor MacDonald replied that there was no such law in the elec- tion of Councillors, but that it had been a practice during the last two terms he had been Chief Magis- trate. Ccun. O'Donnell'stated it had been a practice longer than that and had been in effect when Mayor MacDonald had been a Councillor.

His Worship asked i! the vote on the appointing 0f‘the chairmen had been unanimous, and Coun- cillor O'Donnell‘ replied that he hud not stood in favor of either the appointing of th! finance or street committee chairmen.

Councillor Benton thereupon stated that he saw Councillor 0'- Donnell. standing in favor of the appointment of the street chair- man. Councillor Stewart tltcn pointed out that the vote had not been carried out on the appoint- ment of the chairman of the streets

Committee. The motion was voted upon and Councillor Stewart was made

chairman of the Streets Commit- tee.

‘Cellolnd Piano Ariisis ileard‘ In Fine Concert

Charlottetown music lovers were privileged last night to hear two highly accomplished artists, Nik- olai and Joanna Graudun, in an unusual ensemble, that of violon- ceiio and piano. The concert was the third of this season's serics of Community ,Concei~t A5509.

ialion performances, and drew a large and appreciative audience at the Prince of Wales College hail.

The mfllor work on the pro- Zrum was Mendeissohnk Sonata In D M0101‘. 0p. 58, in four move-

. mcnis. This composition, the last

of two duo sonulas scored by the Clmllloscr for ‘cello and piano, is characteristic of his lyrical talent, and in the Adagio movement pur- tieuiariy is very melodious. It was interpreted with exquisite feeling by the recitulists,

The Programme opened with a Toccata by a once famous Italian musician. Girolamo Frescobnldi (1583-1644), who as organist at St. Pctcfs in Rome attracted listen- ers lrcm all parts of Europe. anion"! them the English poet Mil- ton. Bracketed with the opening number was a finely balanced duet, Variations on n Theme from Mozart's "Magic Flute", by Bec- thovcn. It would be difficult to say where one master leaves off nntl the other begins in this short but very lovely evocation of the gen- ius of both.

The recitalists also scored very effectively in solo numbers. At thc piano, Mrs, Graudan proved licr- self an artist of outstanding merit with her playing of the most in- tricate numbers with apparent ease, Her touch on the keyboard was beautiful in its light rippling passages and the feeling she brought out of her various num- bers. wns truly remarkable. Her solos included Beethoven's "Rondo a Capriccio": "Impromptu", by Schubert; "Furlant" by the Czech composer Friedrich Smetuna, and an Etude and Mazurka by Chopin. the centenary of whose death is being‘ commemorated this your throughout the world. For her en- corea Mrs. Graudan offered "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair" by Debussey, and Chopin's "Waltz".

The tonal range and beauty of the 'cello ln solo parts, with piano accompaniment, was an agreeable surprise to many listeners last evening, es it is usually in en- semble that this buss member of the violin family is heard. Mr. Graudan’: solo selections included two Spanish folk tunes arranged by Joaquin Nin, and the composi- tions "Butterfly", by Gabriel Fuure, “Chant Triste" by Arcnsky. anrl "Al. the Fountain", by Knrl

‘Dnvldoff, one of the greatest ‘cell-

ists of all time who developed considerably the technical possibl- lllics of the instrument.

The artists responded to num- erous encore-s, playing nmonr: other numbers, “The Swan" hy Snlnt Saens, "Flight of the Bumble Bee" by Rimsky-Korsukov, nnd “Ave Maria" by Schubert. which were enthusiastically re-

ceived. a

Nativcs of the Russian town of Libou, the Graudans iluvc toured Europe ns well us North America and have been soloists with lend- inr: orchestras on many occasions. This season's schedule will curry lhcm from Prince Edunrd Island to as fur souili us l\l'.‘<lC-’P..

Mr. E. D. Reid, manager of the Prince Edward Island Potato Growwers’ Association and a mem- ber of the Potato (lommittee of the Canadian Horticultural Coun- cii will leave the Province this morning to attend the annual meet- ing of the Council in Ottawa Feb- ruary 13 to 15. t The problems facing the potato iii-slushy will be under intensive study by the group during the thzee (lay session and Mr. Reid stated that Island representatives wmiid prcss for reduction of seed noiato production to make the ontpin, more in line w-iih possible dranuand.

To achieve this end an effort ivzii i") llllldfl to have seed stand- urfls iziised- by increasing the re- ‘liil-‘IHCIIIS of the now certified grade to approximately the 01d standard of foundation A and the eliminating of the later class entiirciy. This action would appear necessary as Canada is now p110- ducing’ 18 million bushels of seed and is actually soiling only about. one half this alnotint as seed. Questioned as to the many re- cent; press reports emanating from the U.S.A. regarding the arrival of Canadian potatoes in many US. A, centres with resultant displace- mcllt of sales of American stock 1n such centres. Mr. Reid stated that the whole maitter of trade relationship with the U.S.A. calls tor careful study.
