It is planned to hold similar race meets every Sat- urday evening until Exhibition Week the latter part of August.

The annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Racing Cir- cuit Club will be held in the City Hall, Wednesday night, June 21st. at 8.30 o'clock.

This Trophy is awarded to the owner of the horses scoring the most points on the Circuit. This meeting being as it is aget-iogcth- er of track owners, horsemen and drivers gives an opportunity for all to discuss matters of mutual benefit and for the betterment of the sport of harness racing.

ln a letter received last evening by James Flood, from his daugh- ter, Mrs. Joe O'Brien. she stated that the pacer Prince Jay devel- oped a quarter crack after break- lng the world's record at Santa Anita for one and one-eighth miles. Joe advised not starting until the 550.000 Golden West event today, but his advice was not taken. the horse was started and will not likely be a factor in this race.

R. .7. Clarke, efficieiit seci'etai'y of the Victoria Driving Park, Springhill. N. S.. writes that their Twilight Races last Saturday ev- ening were a great success. Jen- nie Kalmuck won the No. ,1 class. -best time 2.20 4-5. with Dorothy Won't Tell and Louise Fingo 2-3 and 3-2 respectively. No. 2 class was won by Coconut Kalmuck with 1-2. Lee C.

FATHERIS DAY IS SUNDAY

The presence of eastern panth- ers in New Brunswick, as men- tioned in a previous tcornerl, has brought vividly to mind an expert'- ience I had while on a big game hunting trip to New Brunswick in October 1919 over 30 years ago. How time flies? Authentic proof of the existence of the big cats was established only two years ago, but in my own mind I hur- boured a. very definite hunch that the panther was to be found in the forests of New Brunswick and was not greatly surprised -wlion the panther mode the headlines in several Maritime papers a couple of years back.

We hunted leisurely and didii'ti worry too much about big gameu One fact that impressed me wnsi the plentltude of Ruffed grouse. I remember one morning in part- icular. We left camp early in the. morning each with a lunch of bacon sandwiches in our knap- sscks. It was calm and the grouiiil 1 was covered with hoar frost. We tramped a wood road that follow-, ed a. hardwood ridge for miles. In little clearings moss covered logs. left by lumbermcii, steamed iii the; sun's warming rays.

The night before after I had cleaned the birds I buried the offal in a small sand bar on the bank of the brook. After constructing a ring of long sticks around the bait 1 set. two No. 1 traps in the open- ing iefi. at the water's edge. I had hopes of landing a mink. In the momlng the bait was gone, with the exception of a trace of entrails caught on the tops of the sticks. and the pad marks made by a. big bob cat in the sand at the rear of the 'cubby' showed the species of animal for which I had provided a free meal.

The second night before we were due to leave we made a change in our hunting schedule. We decided to set up a watch at three differ- ent salt licks in a big hemlock swamp about two miles from Camp. In certain places salt ap- pears mixed in black muck in small springs and animals like moose and deer visit those spots

-.1 baby in a nearby thicket. I dozeri again. At 2.00 A.M. I awoke with a start. I had an uneasy, undefin- abie feeling that unseen eyes were waiching me. I was relieved when, from the direction of Kelly's stand, came five rifle shots in quick suc- cession. Kelly had gone into ac- tion with his 30-30 carbine. Tiic echoes of the shots had barely died away when from loss than one hundred ya.rds to my front came an unearthly r.v:-iiliiig and crying, reminding me of an liyslerical woman.
