We were certainly delighted to receive in the mail yesterday a letter from a horseman friend who has been absent from the province for several years and is now locat- ed in Toronto. He rwrites:-itEn- closed is a notice which appeared in this afternoon's Toronto Tele- gram and it occurred to me that you might be interested in some of the offerings or if not possibly my good friends Williard Kelly. Ranklli McLaine or some other horsemen. The listing looks quite impressive. I might add that while l have lived here continuously in Toronto for the past sixteen years jnur Island races still hold my keen interest and as the Guardian reaches me daily I never miss your Down the Back Stretch which lis always enjoyed.) Yours sincerely. Jim McIntyre." Horsemen of the years ago will remember with pleasure friendly Jim llclntyre. who lent a glamour by his pres- ence to the Montague track and is a brother of George Mclntyre. Dr. Preston Mclntyre. Montague. and Dr. Heath Mclntyre. Char- lottetown. All are horse lovers and came by that naturally. being sons of the late Dr. John D. Mc- lntyre. who with others was the founder of the Montague race track and owned many of the good horses of the long ago.

The ad is the complete dispersal sale of standardbreds owned by Alex Stewart dz Son of Port Hope. ont., which will be held at the farm there on March 12th. Alex Stewart has been one of the noted breeders of Canada for many years. the celebrated stallion Miller Brook 2.0433, Canada's leading sire being located there. He has a number of excellent brood mares by the world's greatest sires and 16 yearlings by his stallions. also his racing stable which consists of Mllghty Cox 2.05. True Karen 3, 2.05, that was timed in 2.08 as a three-year-old. Poplar Wayne 2.06, record taken last year as a three- year-old, State Express by Billy Direct 1.55. International Brook by Miller Brook 2.0414. Bobby Key 2.14 and Bucknell 2.12. also other good race horses and equipment.

it is certainly news to learn that Alex Stewart and son are making a complete dispersal of their stan- oardbrecls as their farm and stable has been much in the public eye not only in Canada but in the Un- ited states for many years. Mari- timers who want to add to their strings should take note of this sale because there are some mighty chancy trotters and pacers that will go under the hammer. Thanks to you, Jim. for so kindly remembering us amd we are sure that many will be interested to know that you are still keeping in touch with us.

AT?

The under-manned. Charlotte- town Islanders, who are rapidly earning themselves the title of

their second over-time game of the week as they cooled off the visiting Glace Bay Miners 4-3. Gary Gordon's low shot from a face-off in the Glace Bay end at the 1:42 mark of the over-time period gave the Islanders their margin of victory. It also moved the Islanders to within six points of the league leading Halifax Ai- lantlcs. klllcd the Miners hopes of taking over second place and snapped the Miners winning streak at nine games. Bul until Gordon low drive past goalie Don Lock- hart the Islanders had fought an uphill battle. They trailed 2-1 at

:the end of the second period and l

were behind 3-2 in the third un'- til Bob .Gray tied up the game with lcss than seven minutes left in regulation time.

The Miners iesicd goalie Al Millzir in thc Charlottetown not three times in the first min- ulc of the ovcr-limo period and on one occasion Connie Bon- hommc had Millnr at his mercy but the ex-Islander failed in his attempt to flip the puck over ihe prosiraie goaltender.

Play shifted into the Miners end and tempers almost got out of hand in front of the Glace

Bay net as Burega bowled over Hurst and Clements dumped Bur-

ega. The play was blown down and from the ensuing face-off Gordon sifted home the winning goal

The teams split goals in a slow first period. Lyle Wiscmnn sent the Islanders ahead at the 9.42 mark with .1 35 foot shot. after Bob Gray set him up with a pass back from th- corner.

Burcga.

Checking was close until the fourteen minulc mark when Gus- tavcson turned over Watson with a hard body check at centre icc and tempers began to boil. The hockey opened up for the last six minutes with the highlight being "Buck" Whitlock's back checking on Eddy Joss after the latter broke away at centre ice. Whlilock caught Joss in front of the Islanders net and prevented him from getting a shot away.

Rookie Chuck Holdaway. looking much better than before he went to hospital, tied up the score early in the third period as be converted ampass from hard working Ronnie Hurst.

llurst took a pass from Clements at centre ice and sped around the Miners defense with a nice skating display before he fed the puck in the uncovered Holdaway in front of the Miners cage.

It took the Miners only 11 sec- onds to go back in front as Bob Cooper blasted home a screened shot from 35 feet out after taking back to back passes from Connie Bonhommc and Hub Macey.

Then Bob Gray. who has been making it a habit of scoring im- portant goals, put the Islanders back in the running with a 10-foot shot after taking "Buck" WhIt.lnck's face-off pass.

The teams staged battle in the last two regulation time in an effort to score. Walter Pawlshyn steamed through the Miners defense with a minute and 15 seconds left but Lockhart turned back his brilliant
