The lamps are set on fifty, thirty-five foot poles that encircle the racing oval insuring cvenly spaced lighting all over and enabling the fans to follow the races just as easily as in day- time.

Installation of this modern equipment adds much to the har~ ness racing game here and the directors of the Exhibition Asso- ciation are to be commended on their initiative in giving to the City and Province such an up-to- dale plant.

quick succession and every one of thrm was very, very bad.

In the evening game, however, the Newfoundland team gave s. particularly good demonstration 0f high class defensive work. The locals managed eight hits in seven innings off Scully, but didn't geta run across. The Yanks committed one error in that time and played scintillating ball, particularly in the outfield, where seven chances were accepted. The boys made two additional errors in the final frame but by that time it was getting pretty dark. and a few hobbies could be easily be excused. The home boys were also pretty steady afield after the first two innings. They did look rather bad, how- ever, when the visitors laid down a barrage of bunts in the last frame. '

Now that the half-way mark in the Summerside Baseball League has been reached we'll give you all the .300 hitters. They have to play in a certain number of games, of

1- + 4- i- It may not be generally known but nevertheless it is a. fact that tnorougnbreds (runners) are very

ills and ailments as well as crip- pling lnJuries. Some of the large stables owned by millionaires keep special equipment to deal with the above troubles. For instance the Whitney barn at Belmont track is equipped with germicidal lamps which give off an ultra-violet ray which kills bacteria in the air thereby protecting the horses frcm air-bome diseases. Trainer-vet Veitch states that they tried them out on the farm last winter end they did a lot of good. It was sig- niﬁcant that coughing and run- ning noses among the young horses during the winter started at the end of the barn that did not have th lamps overhead. Where the la ps were installed they had no trouble.

Thc big stables also use e diet augmented with vitamines, miner- ally rich feed and the greatest care is taken by the highly paid veter- inary to see that everything is dons to promote the welfare of this million-dollar stable. While the millionaires go to‘ such lengths to take care of their runners, it is important that many breeders of trotters and pacers shoud take bet- ter care of their budding juvenile speed. For instance we know o!- horsemen who will work s. horse until he is very, very hot then take him away from the track without a. blanket. covering of any sort. Others let them stand in the cold which is a sure way of inviting laminitis, a disease that is incur- able. Another important thing to remember is never give a drink-of cold water to s. very warm horse. If you cannot add some hot water to it just. let him take small sips

The world‘s greatest sire is Vol0- mite 2.03%. premier sire of Wal- nut Hali Farm, Lexington, Ken- tucky, where his servlce fee is $2,- 500. He was put up for sale as a yearling in the late 1920's and was purchased by W. H. Kane, Jersey 91W. N-J., for $5,800. Later on Kane sold him to Tom Targgart of French Lick, Indiana. He was placed in the hands of Walter Cox at Good Time Stable, Goshen, N. Y., for training. Cox won several stakes with him and gave him e record of 2.03% and suggested to m. Kane that he purchase Vol0- mits and use him as a. stallion. Kane said "That horse hasn't any- thing that even makes him look like o. stallion", so Volomite was put up at. auction and in 1929 Dr. Ogden Edwards, against the advice of many, bought him back for Walnut Hall Farm which bred him, paying $13,500. Since then he has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as s. stud.

In 1944 W. H. Kane paid 06,500 for o. yearling son of Volomits named Chestertawn. The horse did not train well at two and was kept from racing. As a three-yeer-old in 1946 he won a stake at Old 0r- chsrd. Maine, and Walter ESmlth. the inventor of the Smith starting gate, offered Kane $40,000 for Chestcrtown and KIIO accepted. At the end of 1947 his earnings were $64,646, and it will be remem- bered that ho set up a record for 1% miles at the recent Bantu. An- ita meeting.

ienco, especially for one who is not familiar with the woods at night. There is generally an explanation for everything, and 1'. don't think

.that a. wildcat was the cause of

this disturbance. One hears many strange noises in a wood or swamp at night, as that is the time when most wild creatures are abroad.

o o o ‘

The driver of the horse that was allegedly attacked was checked. He stated that his mare, inclined to be skittish at the best of times. shied at a rabbit that jumped s- cross the road in front of her. Someone with. a good imagination heard‘ of this incident and its about as easy to conjure a wildcat out of s. hat as it is s. rabbit.

The biggest animal that I saw on. my travels was a squirrel and it was acting perfectly natural. As my young four year hopeful cle- scriibed to his mother the ﬁrst squirrel he sau‘: “It was fiutterin‘ its tail and bltin‘ its fingers." The biggest track I saw was that of s fox.

I met a dear old ladl/ 0n u" mad; “Did you get- the wildcat?" she queried. Wishing to put her at ease I said: "Yes". "Where is it?“ she asked. “In the back of the car." She sniffed: “Why dorfi- 1'9»! carry it on the front so everyone can see it.,..I was afraid to so out walking at nights."

I I

A farmer to whom I talked sum- med up the situation very nicely. Asked if he had seen any wildcat he pointed to a dark, nice looking chap in his teens and said: “That's the only wildcat we have here- abouts."
