Coshen Enters New Era In Harness Racing

GOSIHEN. N- Y., July 14-—(A.Pl -Goshen. trotting-horse capital oi the eastern United states, enters into a new era of harness racing tomorrow with the start of a five-

ay Grand Circuit meeting at the l00-year-old track.

For the first time the pari- mutuel betting system will be used in place of the books or the tradi- 'tional auction pools and the new McNamara starting barrier, used successfully at the Indianapolis and Toledo grand circuit meetings will be in operation.

The old half-mile track at th- edge of this little country tor; has been renovated to take ca of the larger crowds these inncva Lions are expected to attract.

During the five days of racing $35,000 in purses will be distribut- ed. Some 400 horses already are stabled at Goshenls two tracks while others that have been racing in the midwwt are due to start the eastern section of the circuit which includes meetings at Narrangan» sett Park, R. 1., Mineola, N. Y, Goshens Good Time Park. Syra- cuse, N. Y. and Reading, Pa.

Peter Astra. winner of the Ham- bletonian here lasi, August, is e:- pccied to go after the new it's.-

the Italians withdrew and avoid- I

move their shins across to Afrlcs- and back in convoy but with Bri- tish naval units ranging widclv over the Mediterranean their communist ions with their African ,territories must be growing more difficult.

In the evenings there will be a wonderful show with jumping and other riding events staged by our riding clubs. The Vaude- ville acts will show up in splendid relief on the stage lighted as it will be with colored lights and beautiful background. A Master of Ceremonies will keep the show moving right lIMlg and at in- tcrvals between the nets a male singer of excellent reputation will render Wflllar songs.

Lenore of DeCoata and Lenora will also give individual num- bers as well as swear with her partner. There will be six num- bers of the Revue in varied costumes as well as two sets with Laddle Lamont, two with the While Brothers, two with the Vic- toria Troupe and the Spectacular Queens of the Ah- wlth a double slide for life. Billy Outtenfi Water Circus with Billy diving from s hundred foot perch into a shallow tank. l-le sets fire to himself in midslr and comes down a. ball of firs when he hits the water.

The evening shows will be spretaeles of more than ordinary interest and will no doubt attract tremendous audiences. From all parts of the Marltlmes parties are planning in come u» Charlotte- town so those catering to guest: can be assured that Old Home Week should bring them as good patronage as the Exhibition did.

In these days of anxiety and svraln when one is liable to oncenf. overmIch on news of evmte in Europe. it is well to take some relaxation. In Margaret Currie‘; column of the Montreal Dally Star for July 6th this occursz-“Bcl-leve it or not, but a prominent Montreal doctor told me the other day that he and his colleagues were seriously disturbed about the increase in ‘nerves’ among their patients. There were nanny people on whom the war had a profound emotional effect. . . one psychiatrist suggested that when you begin to feel jittery you should get out- doors, engage In some sort of active exercise, sock out your friends, read something light, go to an amusing picture or just-go fish- ing. In short. try to divert yourself in some way."

Old Home Week will furnish you with an opportunity to chase away your troubles and worries. give healthy relaxation, "so pack up your troubles in your old kit bng" and tuke in one or more afternoons and evenings of Old Home Week. August 13th to 16th.

Below will be found the program of racing to be held in con- neotlon with Old Home Week, plans for which were made some months ago when it was definitely decided that an Exhibition could not be held because the Federal Department of Agriculture had discontinued " to Fairs with the exception of those which had already publlhed their programs.

Al the Pro lal Exhibition Association had functioned for half a century hol E hflritloas every year with the exception of one or two and race meetings every year, and as its plant had become known as the Peoples’ Playground, it was considered that a. race program with Vaudeville should be held.

Tentative arrangements were made with George A. Hamid of New York for an outstanding Vaudeville contract which was to have been routed to Halifax. N. 8., where races were also to have been hold and would have been but for the fact that the Depart- ment of Naval Defence took over the Exhibition grounds and track for naval training. However, another route was made by Mr. Ila-nil and a guarantee given that the complete Vaudeville pro- gram would come to Charlottetown. so the Directors met and de- cided to put on Old Home Week on the days which had first been salcotokAuluat 13th to 16th inclusive.

The harness horse program will be the same as other years and will no doubt bring together as large if not a larger list of horses and equally good racing will result.
