J. A. Bonang, Halifax, writes us a5 follows: “Dear Sir-I am an old time lover of horses. and I saw one the other day in Halifax that took mv eye. It was the great old favour- ité race horse, Hcutherbelie. He “.85 jmmiised to a light driving wagon, nn a young man held the reins over him. Despite his 17 years he seemed as frisky as a colt, and gave evidence of excellent care, as his coat was shining and he was fit- imd full of vim-much differ- ent from the shape I saw him in two years ago. I do not believe that there are many horses as popular as old Heatherbelle. He has thrilled thousands of people at race meets all over the Maritimes and alwaii gave the best that was in him, try- ing until the very last end of the mile."

Thanks, Mr. Bonung, for your thoughtfulness in writing such good news about our good old friend licatherbelle. 2.08 1-4 that gave the writer many thrills, too. He Still holds Montague track trotting record of 2.08 1-4. and lest we iordet it may be mentioned, that within two weeks he lowered the record three times. He also held the record for the Charlottetown (fuck, 2.0a 3-4, from 1936 until 194i, when it was placed at 2.07 3-4 by Alioway 2.04 3-4.

The meeting of the Nova Scotia Race Track Owners and Secretar- ics was lieid at New Glasgow on Wednesday afternoon. and a sche- dule was drawn up for the season's races, as shown below. 1t was de- cided that the nurse would be $350 for the Free-for-Aii, and three other classes with purses of $300 each, that is for one-day race meets. Where a two-day race meet is held the purses are at the discretion of the track owners. An entry blank svith uniform conditions for the circuit and other cooperative fea- tures was stressed.

A. Lcadbetter, prominent and ar- dcnt harness racing followei" of Springiiiil, was elected as president to succeed William Stewart, Ncw Glasgow. who had carried on so well 1415056115011. Lorne Simpson win appointed secretary.

At the conclusion of the Track Owners Meeting. the horsemen were invited to “sit in" and discuss the schedule and other matters in con~ nectlon with the season's racing‘. The horsemen erzprcssed themselves as troll-pleased with the schedule and the purses. It was decided to gut oi\ a membership drive, each.

orseuian present to endeavour to interest .as many others as possible arid secure their membership in the Nova Scotia Horse Racing As- sociation. The track owiicrs stress.- ed the necessity of all horsemen in hove. Scotio lilltirfiilillllil‘ their own tracks. during the racing season, so that the 1iublir could be enter- tninvd with worthwhile racing and the management could ndirertise the entries with a confidence that the entries would be there to race. TillS view of the matter vlas con- currcd in by the owners. who were nearly all. if not all present from various parts of Nova Scotia.

Here is the racing schedule. with 101‘? ‘races each one-day meeting and six or more for a two-day show:-

The menu was excellent, and at its conclusion Mr. Prescott Blanchard, the toast-mas- ter, paid a ver fine tribute to the Association's o iicers.

Armstrong In

BOSTON, May '1 (APJ-Be- fore a glove could be laid on him, Henry Arman-on of boa Angels-s, the only tripe cham- pion in ring history, knocked out Tommy Jessup of Sprin - field tonight with a. terrifo two-listed attack to the head and body at the end of the first minute of their scheduled 10- 50111111 bout at the Boston Gar-

en.

The crafty Armstrong, who weighed 140. two pounds more I than Jessup. stalked his rival for about 15 seconds and then sprang at liim.

The force oi’ liammcrin‘ lien- ry’: rush swept Jessup against tie ropes and before he could fet away from them, he took a ‘

y.

After staggering along the ropes for about a second, Jes- sup took murderous lefts and rights to the head, and dropped. face down, for the count of 8.

When Jessup pulled himself to his feet, in his own corner, Armstrong cooliy measured him with a long ser es of hooks and the Springfield Negro dropped ago . Thereupon Referee Johnny Martin awarded Armstrong his knockout verdict without both- ering to count over the help- less Jessup, who. at 21, is 10 years the younger.

More than fifty horses took in the big horse parade here terday afternoon. Thousands of citizens lined the route oi march and showed. keen interest in the horses.

The band from the Beach Grove

of sailors from 1-1.M.C.S. Queen ChBTIOtIe added color and interest to the show. The band was in at- tendance through the kind oo-op. eration of Major A. S. Robert-son, officer commanding at the camp.

The parade lined up on Queen Street, and extended from opposite the Market Square to the mo; o; the street, Cpl. Deakin and Don ‘ Seaman patrolled the pmeeggmn, which was headed by Frankie Clark on pony Peggy.

As the parade passed Hughes corner the names of horses, their owners and drivers were announced

l! M1‘. W. H. Beaton. Mr. A. B. Cutcliffe did much to organize the show and get the parade lined up.

All classes, colors and size of horses were inciukd. from the smallest Ponies to heavy draft

horses.

City police were on hand to di- rect traffic and assist in keeping the crowds back enough to leave a lane through which the parade could pass.

The lineup of the parade was as follows: Frankie Clarke on the pony Peggy; Band from No. 62 C.A.B.T.C.; detachment from H. M115.

Charlie Ball-pd‘ of Sydney Mines. who attended the meeting in Tru- ro, says that horsemen in Cape Breton would like to buy a good free-for-aiier, and they are dick- ering for Eddie C.
