In the fourth game the Saints made sure of their title, win- ning B to 6 but only after the No- mads had given a. real exhibition oi fighting spirit. Trailing 8-0 with less than twelve minutes of the game left, the City team staged a magnificent u meback to rush over two touchdowns but irl each case failed to convert. The series was over but when the next season rolls around it. would not be surprising

the quality of the racing was good, and its popularity was shown by the large number of spectators at almost every race meet. In addition to locally owned-horses there were quite a. number oi visitors from other Maritime points, in fact. the best of the racing brigade came here to take part,

No senior team was formed but the Junior and inter- mediate Abbies had the strongest‘- squads in several years ready to ploy off for the Maritime title in both divisions. However, both teams lost their chance for s. possible title when a. mixup in registration saw them disqualified by the Maritime Association. It was a tough break and- especinlly so in the case of the Juniors. Almost intact from last

While it is not our intention to conduct a post-mortem into the now defunct “Big Four,” possibly -one of the greatest factors which hastened the end was the emphasis placed on a “winning team” rather than hockey for hockey’s sake. Be that as it may, those who “ have given of their time and, energy to the sport are en- titled to every praise rather than the caustic criticism sometimes passed without a true knowledge and insight into the difficulties under which officlgls labored. Suffice it to say that the experience gained will be reflected in junior ranks and that it will be but a short while ere

Canada's national pastime.

But while hockey was beset with difficulties other team sports went on in their usual placid manner. Mteudances again were small but the motI-o of the players of the different teams was "games for the games’ sake." A pleasing feature of the year-was a tendency for the average individual to play the game with the result that tennis, golf, curling and badminton all added to their following.

Colt racing was well encouraged by the Provincial Exhibition Asso- ciation, Charlottetown, who in ad- dition to offering purses for two- ear-olds and ihree-year-olds at its Exhibition meet, also staged the colt races of the Prince Edward Island Colt Futurity Association. The largest amount of purse, money in the pl‘0VlllC€S_\V35 offered at; Charlottetown Exhibition ulherc money premiums and prizes were given to owners, drivers and grooms. The attractiveness of this feature to the horsemen was evi- dent in the wonderful entry list. The success of the fall colt stakes was such that the events which were to have been raced as mixed classes were divided in the case of two-year-olds and three- year-olds into trotting and pacing classes, while the four-year-old class was raced as a mixed class.
