The Germans have a preference ior harness horse racing over thoroughbred racing as shown by a recent census which gives 2.000

reidsterod trotters against 1.000 runners.

The West Australia ‘Trotting As-

aociatbn of Perth. Australia has one

of the most beautiful in appear- ance and finesvtrotting tracks in

the world. It is not uncommon to

have attendances oi 50.000 specta- tors for one day's racing. Pari- Mutual system oi betting brings in large returns. part of which is do- nated to charity. since its complet- ion over 3250.000. has been distri- buted from this source.

Commenting on the way the har- ness races are conducted at Bran- don. Manitoba. W. L. McGregor. owner of Walter Hal 2.11 1-4. says: fin our racing program at Bnmdon. twenty minutes are al- lowed for the start and completion of n heat. The races and all acts have to be over at 4.30 p. m as the Fair wants the crowds out of the grand stand on to the midway and through the exhibits. and we

work on schedule. This means the’

necessity of using the barrier sys-

_ tom.

Turn them around, see that the horse/a are in their positions, no back tier horses up- in front of the front tier horses, tell them to come

and say “Go". snapping the bar-'

ricr. Incidentally. being a starter loses you friends; the winner of rnccs never complains about them. There will be a job at Brandon this year for an outsider. I have been starter at Brandon since and including i931. five years using the barrier."

The Canadian Futurity, spon- sored by the Canadian Standard Bred Horse Society. which wl‘l be rnced this scron at the Canadian National Efhibiiion at Toronto. promises to be one of the most worth while futuritles in “lstence. with- a.n estimated value oi $7,000.. io be raced for in two divisions. one for thrte year old trotters and the other for three year old pacer-s. The sum of $1.000. is set nsida for a consolation purse. with practi- mlly every section of Ontario ro- wresented as well as other provin- ces of Canada, 120 youngsters re- main eligible.

Yw. n. Goober. writing to the

‘President of the Charlottetown Driving Park recently, commented the growth of futurity racing this province. and highly com-

wnmmdcd it. He made ihesuggcstion

that a futurity day-prcfernbly ihe al day-be set aside at the local uhlbitioh. He believed it would draw a. great deal of attention to mli. racing std mean a packed grand stand. In order to carry 011i e above suaxcstion it would be necessary to have cooperation be-

tween the Provincial Exhibition

Association and the P. E. I. Colt Ihiturities Axociation, which may

,Eddie Sunderland. one cf Amer- fan's veteran trainers. is looking around for a pacer to train this season. Among the wonderful horses that he has brought out and marked for keeps 1a Dan Hedge. wood 2.04 1-2. raced some years M0 by Fred Cameron for the Woodstock Trotting Agsgglgflgn.

Back in 1922 he landed Iskander 2.05 1-4 on the front end fourteen times out oi fourteen and this as... lea oi achievements has only twice been excelled. That fall the son oi San Francisco 2,07 3-4 was 501d i0 Tommy Murphy for $17,500. Ten years before Sunder-land made an

defeated campaign with a1 pn- ard 2.09 1-4. winning even races in eleven starts, Jennie W. 2.04 1-4 it Will ‘Ilell 2 os 3-4. records taken’ on half-mile tracks were two oth. er big money winners for Eddie; b,“ Perhwm the newest pacer of “I that 11° vflmlnisned was the Canadian horse Angus Pointer 2-01 3-4. who in i907 won nine mces in W" 593111. some of them in the lute-at company "on the Grand Circuit.

The veteran trainer John Willard of Prrsque Isle. Maine. drove his mam Lindbergh Girl 2.09 u. victory at the Fort Fairfield ice races ten days ago. John must be well over elshi-y 1'88“ 0f age. Many of our readers will remember him when he campaigned John a. Braden and lowered the Island track rec- ord from 2.11 3-4 to 2.08 3-4, That must have been fourteen or fifteen years ago.

‘The world's record for races won in any one season's campaigning is held by the western trotter Guy Aubrey 2.05 1-2. who in 1929 made 2'1 starts and won 19 races. His breeding is. sire. Guy Axworthy. dam by Captain Aubrey 2.07 1-4.

The world's record for races won in a single season by a pacer is held by Bonnie M. 2.02 1-4, who in i926 made 24 starts and won 18 races. The next two years he was campaigned on the Grand Cir- cuit. won numerous victories and took a record oi 2.02 1-4. The fol- lowing year he wasscld to George Rned. Fort Fairfield. Maine, and in 193i raced in the Free-for-All at Charlottetown. but was beaten by Eu‘a H. and Volo Rico.

Anent the above. Bonnie M. is still going strong, as on February llth he won the Fort Folrfield Track Company stake on the ice at Fort Fairfield. beating the re- doubtablo Zombro Hanover 2.00. in straight heats, time 28 1-3. 26 1-2. 29 l-il.

Reports from Paris. France, state that nearly a million francs were bet on the Prix de Amerlque. trot- ted on sunday, January 19th, in which the American trotter Muscle- tone (ti) 2.02 finished second to the French champion trotter, main- ly due to a bad get-away. The amount looks very formidable, but reduced to dollars it would prob- ably amount to about There was probably 100.000 people on the stands and enclosures and no doubt the majority of the bots wereainglo francs, equal to four cents. Perhaps the French sportsmen would get as _much kick out‘ of that as an Amer- ican would from a two dollar bet.

A syndlmte of Bwodish ltoroe- rnon have purchased the trotter Countess Zabetta 2.06 6-4 and she is now on her way to her European home. She will be raced in Sweden and Norway the coming summer.

Midget. Rangers And Canadiens Pl a y To d a y

The first of the finals-two out

city championship. will be played at the Forum between the Rangers and Canadians this afternoon at sharp two o'clock. Both teams are in fine fettle. The Canadians came from the bottom with wins over the Beavers and Maple Innis, while the Rangers had previously ide- feated the Maple Leafs. ‘

The Canadians have ,sllghtly more avoirdupois than their oppon- ents and have been well handled by their Coach. Johnny McCourt and his faithful assistant “Digley" Heron.

The Rangers are a. very active bunch of boys, great skaters, expert stick handlers and good shots. They have had the advantage recently of coaching by that hockey “maestro -—Perc Rodd. who has improved their teamwork considerably.

Those who want to see a real game of hockey between juveniles all under sixteen, should be present this afternoon at two o'clock.

Keén Interest In Montague Ice Racing

The Mfimtflsue Driving Club held the first race of the new driving club's series on Wednesday. Feb 26 and as ever Montague. as a. racing

centre, showed that the fans are as

keen as ever for a good days sport. A large crowd tinned out to wit- ness Dr. Preston McIntyre! Billie Witte battle two old chums o1 Col.

McKlnnon, Billie Cope the great

little horse who was the pet of the racing public. Billie was out front all the way and James Lannan took home the bacon ('1 lbs. 1st prize). Another or the Colonel's old prides was Johnnie Miles, now owned by James Murphy of Montague. Billie Witte and Johnnie fighting it out for second place were right after the Cope horse but could not head him.

In class B. Willard Kelly would have got a kick out of seeing Alex Campbell's Balbo. who will make trouble for some one this summer, Balbc was very fest and had no trouble winning his race. The grand

were all out and racing. It was a real old timef-‘s day.

The race committee are very thankful to the merchants of Mon- tague-for their sporting spirit. in donating the many good and use- ful prfzes.

Archie Llewellyn was right on the job and got the horses away in good order. Edward R. Murphy held the watch and you can bet the time was correct. Alex McLeod was the right man in the right place.

Nationals Turn Back Primroses

Borden Nationals took leadership in Prince Edward Island inter- mediate hockey finals. defeating Montague Priinrcses 6-5 in a. wide- open hockey nmtch at Montague last night.

The match, first of a. home-and-

home series.‘ was finished under protest. Primrose: claimed Nation- als’ fourth counter had not crossed the goal line and should not have been allowed. The second game of the finals will be played at Borden next week.

Borden's dazzling speed on the

attack accounted for all the team's goals, while sheer gameness with ' which Primrose: countered the vis- itors’ six-goal second period attack. almost made it a. draw. Nationals. were set back on their heels in the ‘final period and barely escaped with victory.

The first period was without

were or penalty, but in the second eight goals were scored. Primroses drew first blood, then Nationals swamped them under an offensive which netted six counters against their opponents two.

In the last period the homesters

fought the Nationals almost to a standstill. scored three more goals and came within an ace of tying

the score. SUMMARY First Period Scoring: None.
