Leo Praught, secretary of River- side track, said that was due in large measure to no meeting being called to select dates as had been done in the past.

Following is the text of retiring president George A. Callbeck‘; re- port:

To the "embers of ' The Prince Edward‘ Island ‘"' Racing circuit Club: '

Gentlemen:-

It is a pleasure to meet again at the beginning of the season and to make a report to you o! the activi- ties of the past year. We can cer- tainly look back on 194'! as a most successful season. It started at Summerside, July lst. and 2nd., from there to Montague July 9th. and following that to Covehead July 16th. and 19th., then Riverside, July 23rd. back to Covehead July 30th. with Montague August 6th.. then Old Home Week August 12th. to 15th. inclusive, Montague, Sep- tember 1st.. Charlottetown Good- will meet september 10-11, Cove- head September 17-18 and the sea- son concluded with two meetings at Riverside October 8th. and 13th.

A new feature for race fans ‘as introduced by the progressive man- agement of the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park and Provincial Exhibition Association wheln on Saturday eve- ning. August 2nd. they put on a. night racing program of six dashes. 'I'he track was brilliantly lighted- thc night ideal and a crowd esti- mated between five and slx thou- sand enjoyed the spectacle to the fullest. It was the first time that the starting gate was used in the Maritime» and it created a lot of interest. so popular was the program that night racing was an added feature of Friday evening's program at Old Home Week and one of the largest crowds ever to attend an evening show there witnessed spectacular performances including the setting up of a new track nisht racing mark of 2.09 1-6 by My Partner. owned by Dr. J. A. Donahue of Truro and driven by Joe O'Brien. It was also s new record for My Partner. Two more night racing programs were held over the Char- lottetown oval and were very popu- 1dr. A pleasing feature with owners was the inauguration of $1,000 purses at Charlottetown and Cova- head and the upping of other purses. More horses were trained and campaigned than in any recent year. A new track trotting record of 2.13 2-5 was set up at Riverside October 8th. by Ice Brewer 2.06 3-4,

Espec- ially with the weather so back. ward 1t. was felt that Island ath- letes particularly would not have a chance to get anywhere near their top condiflon. As for as the Maritime meet is concerned-and there is nothing that can be done about that now-it still remains true but should any Islander make the grade at Halifax the resulting additional three weeks they would gain by competing in the finals only would enable them to whip themselves into the finest possible condition.

O O O I Still another setback has been experienced by Coach Wailers when it was learned that Walter LaPage would be unable to com- pete in any of the trials. LePage who holds a position as field rep- resentative of the Boy Scouts As- sociatlon will be on course during the summer months and will find it imposslblaunmake the grade.

O O

It l! a Dlty for LePage without a doubt is the finest prospect or the sprints that has come along here ln a good number of years. He proved his ability at Halifax last year when he raced off with the i00-yard dash in ten seconds and that performance stamped him as a runner with plenty of potentialities. Old timers who watched hlm in action on the oc- casion of the official opening of Memorial Field last fall were also quick to place their stamp ol ap- proval on him. _ O O O O LePage however took his dis- appointment. philosophically. Still in his early twenties he has many years of athletic activity stretch- ing ahead of him and although he may miss picking up some valuable experience this year with atten- tion to strict training it could be that when the next Olympiad rolls around in 1952 he may be ready to offer a real threat for a place on the Olympic squad.
