00 in ness or periodic olp- thalmi , which in some years and some localities causes temporary and sometimes permanent blind- ness in horses, has been found to be due to a food deficiency. It has been known in foreign coun- tries for two thousand years and in certain parts of the United States for a long time. Veterin- arians and research workers have been endcavoring through the ages to determine the cause and cure. It is due to a deficiency o! the vitamin Riboflavin and that is now being administered in the sections of the United States where the disease occurs, in doses of 40 mgs. a day and at a cost of about one cent per dose. No case has occurred among horses receiv- ing t while new cases continue at the same rate where it was not administered,

Slamming in two goals in the final six minutes of play Prince of Wales Welshman last night chalked up a 5-4 victory over Aca- dia Axemen in an exhibition hoc- key encounter at the Forum, feat- ure event of the annual Prince of Wales College ice sports that were attended by close to 2,000 people.

And ll! addition to a thrlllin hockey encounter the big crowd o fans witnessed a program of speed skating and an exhibition of figure skating that came as a prelude to the three hockey periods that pro- vided bristling play throughout.

lfi-‘d by Jimmy Gray the'Acadl- ans clung tenaciously to a goal lead for over two periods of the hockey encounter but finally fell victim to the P. W.C. closing st- tack as young Pud Beer and Ted Bradley came through with two passing attacks that pulled the game out of the fire.

But up to that point it appeared to the large crowd of fans that Fred Kelly's Axemen were going to walk of‘! with the verdict. They shot the only goal of the first er- lod to lead 1-0 and then split our goals with their opponents during

lzoal margin. They roared back to regain the lead at approachingthe eight minute mark of the final session after Prince of Wales had knotted the count for the second time but then were forced to bend by the torrid closing attack of the winners,

Wide open from the starting

histlc both teams gave the hlg crowd thrill after thrill with Jack Proude making a sensational save ofi’ N. Crowell in the first minute of play and Nicolle and Robertson missing by inches on a counter-

Perhaps the most famous horse to come to the Maritime Provinces suflering front the disease which!- was prevalent in the locality where he was bred, was Dingola by Expedition, s handsome chestnut that Fred Cameron brought here from the mid-west in 1912. He had two-minute speed, perfect pacing action and was sold to Adams and Mitchell of Halifax for a long price. He won one race at Halifax but lost the second, then went on to Fredericton, taking a record of 2.13%. Later on he was sent to Walter Cox and raced on the Grand Circuit, where he won races and took a record of 2.05%. He then drifted back to Prince Ed- ward Island where he stood at the farm of Dave White, York Pnlnt, and sired Jessica the Great 2.14, Dingola 2.21% and others.

We were asked the question this morning how long has ice racing been going on in Prince Edward Island? Well, it is anybody’s guess but we believe it probably com- menced very shortly after the im- portation of horses here. The writer remembers as a boy watch- ing racing over the Souris ice. The heats were mile heats to sleigh. Some of the more tip-to- date owners had skeleton sleighs which materially increased their chances of winning. When we ar- rived in Charlottetown in the 1890's the same type of racingwas in vogue here. The names we par- ticularly remember in connection with it were our late lamented friends ex-Mayor P. S. Brown, Ronnie Steele and later Hammond Kelly and Henry Hooper. They were all devotees of this form of sport which we ourselves indulged in very liberally later on. As the horses increased in speed and methods of clearing the ice im- proved horses were hooked to sieighs or carts and properly pre- pared for racing. Then records commenced to tumble and to the best of our memory the half-mile trotting record in these parts stands at 1.00 2/5. made by Our Pearly, and the pacing record hcld by Princess Etta is .

. _o__

Around the mid-ISM! the dist- ance was cut to quarter mile heats, taking our cue from Maine where that; distance had been in vogue for ears, This did not entail ad muc work keeping the course clear and did not take as much out of‘ the horses. The fastest time that w; remember of trotting was 28 1/5 seconds by Briar Mac and the fastest quarter msinswas that of Hal McKinney in 28% seconds. Horses have gone away from here .to race in far away Michigan where The Yank sot up a world's trotting record on ice of 2.15% 0n January 15th. 1W4.

In recent yesn the inter-Prov- incial ice meets were brought into being through the efforts of ener- etlc members of the Victoria Driving Club and the Halifax and Dartmouth Driving Clubs. These have added new incentive to the sport and an ea erly looked for- ward to each wntsr.

attack by Coliegians. The session was just past the six minute mark when Acadia struck for the only goal of the period. Quigley was serving a tripping penalty when Gray slammed the disc in from a scramble in front of the Colleg- ians’ goal.

Before the session ended McKay and Spicer both drew penalties to leave the Axemen shorthanded but the visitors were ~able to kill ofl’ the penalties with stout defensive work, although "Nick" Nicolle was in twice in a row for close-in scoring atempts.

With both squads playing it wide open the fans got plenty of action all through the middle session with Acadia retaining their first period goal margin as the two teams split four goals evenly. For over eight minutes both goalies kept their cages clear of alien rub- ber until the visiting Axemcn made it 2-0, Gray snapping adrlve behind Proude from thirty feet out after taking a pass from Crow- ell in the middle zone.

Sending four and five man at- tacks up, Welshmen finally forced Fowler to bend at the 18:0’! mark, Bagriali picking the open corner after Ted Bradley sent him into the clear with a well-timed ‘JESS at the biueline. Drawing penal- ties almost simultaneously Leight- izer and Nicolle of the Welshmen were both in "sinners' avenue" when Bill Robertson knotted the count at 2-ail, snapping a low drive behind Fowler. But Welsh- men, still playing shorthanded trailed again at 18:34 when Crow- el] dented the twines after getting Gray's pass. Acadia ended the per- iod shorthanded when Leggitt drew a holdirllz penalty in the final minute of play.

A little better than flve min- utes had elapsed in the final ses- sion when the Welshmen knotted the count at 3-all, Blanchard slam- ming in Nicolle's assout from the side of the Acada net, but the Axemen were back two minutes and twenty seconds later with Crosby beating Proude after tak- ing a pass from Gray well inside the biueline.

There was less than seven min- utes to play when Bradley and Beer on a beautiful passing nlay combined to beat Fowler, Beer sagging the twines with a chest- high shot from just outside the crease to make it 4-all.

Then the same pair accounted for the clincher at 16.59, Beer sending Bradley into the clear at centre with a forward ss, and the right winger of elshmen

Owing to the mild weather part of Wednesday's racing took place iri the morning and practically all of Thursday's races. On Tuesday it looked as though the entire pro- gram might have to be cancelled as the ice looked quite soft, but a fortunatg drop in temperature and a new course picked out by the club management solved the diffi- culty and s lendid racing attend- ed by very arge crowds made this two-day meet one of the best ever held. In the evening s monster banquet was held at The Char- lotteto .n which was attended 01C Bllests and was feature by a program of ha py entertain- ment, songs an im romptu s eeches. Prizes in the orm of siver trays and trophies, were presented to the owners of win- ning horses as follows:
