HOCKEY WRESTLING

The Big Show is over; the months,

gs, almost u, year of preparation; Ln their climax Tuesday, Wedneg- gay and Thursday, and changing temperatures from scorching heat to cool rain could not dampen the ardor of the fans who trouped in i] the thousands to witness the big programme of horse racing, vaude- ville and the evening shows with vaudeville, horseshow and fireworks.

May we remark here that al- though we have been to the Royal and the Olympia at London. we failed to see at either place. horses more beautifully turned out or rid- ers who looked the part better than did our local members of the Char- lottetown Riding Club. 1t was a delightful sight to follow the classes as they circled around the new ar- ens. with its powerful lighting sys- tem. Late last evening we looked on it and its air of desolation 1e- minded us of the following :|uota- tion:

“firheutlilm-bark ring is hushed and S

And fltful shadows play where classy riders rode at will The steeds of yesterday."

But more depressing even than the scene of vanished glory in the show arena was the look of the horse stalls where just a few hours before some 90 gallant racers munched their oats and hay, only eight or ten were left. ,The others had vanished like a. dream, off to their own familiar haunts such as the Sydneys. Middleton, Halifax, Woodstock, Summer-side, Borden, Tignlsh, Montague and a score of other places.

‘Phat reminded me of the lines from the poem written by Sir Tho- ihas Moore:

"1 feel like one who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted’ Whose lights are fled

Whose garlands dead.

And all but he departed

Well, in many ways it was a won- derful meeting. True, it had its draw baclu in accidents, although none were serious, broken sulkies, good horses that did not get a piece of the money, and the numerous heart-breaks and disappointments that go with the Sport oi Kings. To engage in it a man must be a philosopher who no matter what the situation is, can meet it with per-

; feet equanlmity. 1-

Wcdncsdayh racing left little to desired. conjuring back my thoughts to other days I cannot re- member any racing that was super- ior in thrills to it and everything seemed to go like clockwork. The starting was good that day. the judging good, the horsemen were out on time and the public thor- oughly appreciated it as was evid- enced by their tremendous applause.

The standouts were the finish of Guy Ann in the ‘Iwo-Year-Old Trot and Pace. in what was an _ ’ Ito be (and proved correct) a new Maritime record for two-year-olds, of 2.24%.

Then there was the great finishes

a terrific duel, Star G. passing Ab-

ner until the last few strides, then Clcgg coming on and winning by l! Whisker in 2.10.

Another high light was the win- ulna of the second heat in the 2.15 Tlvt and Pace by Maxine Great. with the fifteen-year-old Baxter boy up. This mare as we mention- ed in the Guardian write up, was Purchased by a Nova Scotian some

Wears ago from Squires Bros., Hart- ford. Conn., for ‘a reported price of $2.500. When she was. being un- loaded from a truck the end of her spine received an injury and that made her sensitive and she would frequently pace along for a piece ‘h!!! lump sideways.

Just as they were about to score the owner ran fran- tically to the judges stand to have another driver put up and was told that Peter was acceptable to Cum- mings, whom they had asked to pick a driver. '

August Queen had finished 2, 2 to Martindell and Bob O Boy. Peter got a rather slow start and was fourth rounding the first turn. He started to make his drive at the three-quarter pole, climbed into third position, then entering the stretch was out third but back a. good two lengths, then commenced to gain at every stride.

Perry Wins Exhibition r Matches

(C. P»!!! Guardian's Special Wire)

0I'1‘AWA._ Aug. zit-meg Perry. dark-haired, slim Englishman who holds first ranking among t1“. tennis amateurs of the worldhde- footed Walter Martin oi Toronlo. former Canadian Davis Cup play- ers _8-6. 6-3. in an exhibition match here today- It was played on the clay courts of the Rideau Tennis Club before 2,000 persons.

Tamed with Ross Wilson, Tor- onto. Perry won an exhibition doubles match 6-1, 7-blfrom Mar- tin and Gilbert Nunns. Toronto.

Perry toyed with Martin most of the timer giving a leisurely ex- hibition. Six times in the first set. Martin had set point but the Eng- lishman turned on the full strength of his game to turn him back.

Martin ran up a lead of 5-3 in the first set and on Perry's service, had set point four times, before dropping the game. Later. he broke Perry to go 6-5 and again had two set points.

1n. the second set the score was 3-2 when Perry turned on the heat, ninning out three games in a row to end it.

Through the writer's error it was announced after the first heat — paced in 2.28\/L.—that Hi Socks had broken the Maritime record; than again in the second heat in 2.25% and when Guy Ann won the third heat in 2.24% that was also an- nounced as a new Maritime record. which stateme ‘ was correct.

Wending my way from the grounds after the races I met a gentleman from Nova Scotia. who called by attention to the fact that Joe the Great had paced in 2.24%’ 1n a three-yocf-old and under class

not a new recon! but had equalled the record. I looked up the sum- mary and found that tho gentleman was incorrect. Joe the Great won the first heat 1n 2.24%, the second in 2.24% but the third was won by thsthree-year-old Minnie Axworthy in 2.24%. Guy Ann owned and driven by George Callbeck, Sum- merside. therefore holds the honor and distinction of~ having establish-- ed a new Maritime record for two- year-olds on August 21. 1036.
