in looking over the summaries be

of the Truro night races on Thurs- day evening last week we found that no less than five horses took new records and one horse equal- lrd his mark. Bonnie Clcgg in uinnlng the first race lowered her record to 2.22 U5 and later in the night in winning the 4th race for mvner-driver Earle Mcculloch. pac- rd in 2.21 275 for a further reduc- mm. Skippy Budlong by Calumet Budlong, owned by Dr. McLean of Wcstville, and driven by Buell, won the 3rd race in 2.13 (V5. His fnrmr record was 2.15 U5. Sec- ond to him in that good mile was Mason's 49 and third was that good trotter Lusticia 2.13. It was the fastest mile of the night. Hy- l.md's Pride. owned by W. Gould, Amherst, and driven by A.

Wisener of Pictou. in winning the 7th race, equalled his record of 2.16 U5. 'l'ruro track certainly holds the; lnurela for new and reduced re- cords made this season.

Last Monday night's racing at Woodstock had the following win- ners:-lst and 6th races were won llV Victory Belle, owned and driv- on by R. E. Hamilton, best time, 11'! U5.

Msclbeod of Truro, N.S. He has been in the stable of Frankie Daniels. who will take over Abeg- weit Milady . . . The pacer You'll See 2.17 225 by Calumet Budlong 2.02 3M and out of the famous racing mare Margaret Jean 2.10- 3r5, has been sold by Al Cutcliffe to Longworth McMillan of Cal- gary. Alberta, formerly of this Province, who is visiting here. She will remain in the stable of Blair Andrew. who has made such a good job of developing her . . The two-year-old pacer Bell Hop B. will be a starter in the 31,000 stake for two year old pacers to be raced at Trouro tonight. Len O'Meara left early this morning to drive him. Fredericton Exhibition races will

held September 1st, 3rd and 4th. All races are on the dash system and classified. Classified races will run from A to L with no cash less than 5200. Entrance fee 2 per cent from money win- ners only. No more than eight horses to start in any one class. The Fredericton Exhibition track is one of the' best in the Mari- times arnl has the honor of hold- ing the Maritime track pacing re- cord of 2.02 U2 made by Walter Dale 2.00 .'il4, Sept. 15, 1937, driv- en by Henry Clukey. Those desir- ing further particulars can write Dr. G. C. McCoy, Race Secretary, Fredericton, NB.

E. H. Day, one of our enthusias- tic harness race fans. has from time to time supplied us with particulars of events raced over the larger tracks in the United States, for which we are grateful. A few days ago he handed us the summary of the fast class at Roosevelt in which the horses fin- ished in this order: Good Time was 1, Solicitor 2, Prince Jay 3, Direct Rhythm 4. Dr. Stanton 5. Vernon Hanover 6. The mile was in 2.03 275 with the last quarter in 38 U5 seconds, certainly a ter- rific clip over a half mile track.

Secretary W. G. Gillespie, Char- lottetown. is sending out notices to owners of colts staked in the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Club's annual colt stakes stating that these will be raccd at the Charlottetown Driving Park track on Wednesday evening,

eptember 10th, beginning at 7.30 o'clock. The starting fee must be paid on or before August 27. All those who decide to take part in these races should give this mat- ter their earliest attention. These annual colt stakes are among the most interesting races of the sea- son and have resulted in the de- velopment of some splendid trot- ters and pacers. No doubt they will be eagerly looked forward to by 3110 many persons interested in

H. B. Macl..eod, High River. Al- berta, who recently spent some time visiting his home here, has not been idle since his return. In a letter to Bill Burnett of the Guardian. he mentioned having bought two more sections of land (1.280 acres) and has been lucky enough to0 strike another artisian well of beautiful. soft water fif- teen feet from the kitchen door. This. together with one in the corrals which was located three years ago, will enable them to carry 1.000 head of cattle. He mentions that the crops are won- derful, the grazing and hay in the foothills is the best in several seasons. The grain crop is also very promising and should yield: more than 40 bushels to the acre

Sport Echoes From Prince County

As we write this, the Summer- side Intermediates. proud Island champions for five consecutive years, Maritime champs for three of those five years. really have their backs to the wa.il. To de- feat the R.C.A.I". Royall, they have to win three games in e. row. and that is not as easy as-rolling off a log. It's not even as easy as rolling back on the log again. It's a tough assignment, but in the past, the Summerside Inter- mediates have been tough hom- bres to beat. Their specialty in other years was to get in a hole, and then turn the hole into an excavation to put their victory castle on. They were powerful mean when another team had them cornered.

Like as not, just when you thought their goose was cooked, Les Gaudet would slam a grand- slam home run, or Joe Bernard would throw that high fast one to batters whose shillelaghs just couldn't get round fast enough, or wise cracking Bill Alien would take, that beautiful out just when a base hit was needed most, or Gord MacKay or Alan Stewart or Pius Gallant would go into bases like a bazooka. going into Hill '10. or Schurman or Deighan would rifle the pill down to second where the fellow with the winning run depending on his flying legs would find Mr. Shortstop or the Little Beaver waiting to welcome him in.

Being on the short end in a game or in a series was just rou- tine business for the old gang. You don't have to take our word for it. Ask the Abbie Inter- mediates.

Can they do it again? Maybe. And then. again, maybe not. Someone finally sent Joe Louis reeling to the canvas. The Cook- Boucher-Cook hockey line had to bow to old Father Time. Right here in our midst such great ath- letes as Charlie Cahill. Chick Gal- lant, Jack Schurman, Windy Steele had to watch the old magic bid farewell to them. Maybe this is the year for the Summerslde Intermediates to make their valcdictory address to Island baseball fans. Then we shall have to start building again.

Johnny Carroll and his charges are starting to do things in the same way. Behind '1-2 in the seventh inning, and apparently just going through the motions to comple the game, the C. and 13. took advantage of a. slip in the Abbie defences, and went on .0 Victory. It was worth a dozen or- dinary victories.

Baltic, and Mr. Mcxelvie are holi- daying there with George, Neil and Dan Riley. Jr. and everyone enjoys having them. Duncan Mac- Leod and son Billy recently re- turned from visiting Duncan's brother Everett Macbeod, Park Corner. where they spent a pleas- ant month.

H. B. is a. very enthusiastic Ro- tarian and while here eddressed the club, giving them an idea of the west as he sees it. Shortly af- ter returning home Mr. and Mrs. MacLeod invited between 50 and 60 Rotarians and their wives as afternoon guests to their ranch in Happy Valley. For many it was their first glimpse of the beauti- ful valley which was at its richest and most verdant beauty with masses of wild flowers to add brilliancy to the idyllic scene. A splendid supper was served in the commodious room. Afterwards a rousing fire in the big fireplace of the lodge room added to the hom- iness and comfort of the after supper hour. A sing-song by the crackling firelight was greatly en- Joyed. Mr. MacLeod, it will be remembered, took back with him two young and well-bred speed prospects. Of course it will be a year or more before they will be ready to show their quality over a race track but we are hopeful that they will do so and perhaps be the means of other westerners sending here for young trotters and pacers. of which we have a very plentiful supply.

tional Buns be imported to make up for the gunning take. con- trary to the opinions voiced by some. this columnist has long con- tended that hunting in season is not a factor that governs the Huns increase or decrease as the case may be. In a. secluded and light- ly hunted area in Kings county that covers approximately two school districts there were, a. week before the season closed, six known coveys that totalled Oil birds. . . .

A party of three hunters with two good pointers hunted this area shortly before the season closed. They started the six coveys in question and there were 80 still flying strong at the close of the day. Five was the most bagged out of any one covey and one bunch of 20 eluded the hunt- ers without a shot being fired at it. The total bag was 15 . . five per hunter Two school districts cover quite an area and it would be impossible to hunt it close enough in one day to start all the coveys to be found there. . . .

A conservative estimate. based on the number we saw while hunt- ing and the coveys reported by farmers that were not started by the dogs, places the number of Huns in this specific area at the close of the hunting season on November 11th at approximately 300. Allowing for losses due

winter killing, predators, hay mowers, etc., there should be enough pairs left to assure any- where from 75 to 100 coveys this season. I have observers in this area who are reporting coveys spotted to date and also have checked it myself but so far only six coveys have been spotted in the area under observation. More coveys will undoubtedly be un- covered within the next month but it is a foregone conclusion that the current crop in this sector in

There is an interesting point brought up by the foregoing. Win- ter killing, predation, ete., may have cut, deeply into last potential breeding stock in this district but methlnks that during the spring pairing off process the birds travel long distances from where they were raised. Because there is 3 heavy concentration of I-luns in I given area one fall doesn't necessarily mean there will be as many, or more, the fol- lowlng shooting season. We have a lot to learn about the habits,

nesting hazards, etc., of our game birds.
