About half a ,i..z.-n years or so ago. less than who lmtlers and pacers were f..'i.'lil'1nZ;l"led annually. In 1047 the mmner was close to 9.000. Yet there were fewer horseshoers than bar;-. in 1040 and 1041. The man nu mined ii trotter or pacer who nrmlrrl shoes in a hurry, was in a re;-m-is dilemma.

quickly and it was discovered that youngsters could be adequately schooled in the fundamentals of horseshoeing within fourteen weeks.

As the young men are graduat- ed. they are. rushed into waiting Jobs. Ther is a tremendous de- mand for oraeshoers. it comes from practically every state in the Union. since harness horses are raced from coast to coast and from the Gulf to places across the Can- itdlan border. Making shoes for" harness horses differs from mak- ing those for thoroughbreds. The runners are fitted. as a rule. with small, thin plates. which can be manufactured in wholesale quan- tities. But the shoes for a bar- ness horsa must be made to order. The sheer studies the size and shape of the hooves of the trotter or pacer. He must know where to add extra weight. or calks. to prevent the harness horse from sprawling. One style of shoe that will suit a certain harness horse perfectly. might be all wrong for another and cause him to go into frequent breaks in hLs gait.

The tendency now is to make the horseshoe: lighter and ever lighter. In the old days, a racing harness horse wore shoes of great weight. The immortal Goldsmith Maid was shod with shoes that weighed almost one pound each. and she was no exception. The thought then was that so much weight would cause horses to hold truly to their gait. It since has been proven that irotters can move along in a faultless way with six ounce shoes. and the present aim is to make them considerably lighter.

to the theory that much can be taught to the embryo Loruahoera which will be of benefit to the hooves of the horses and increase both the atoutneaa of their legs and also their speed on the tracks. it is quite likely that we are now nearing a revolutionary age in the harness horse sport, where speed and stamina are so vital and the likelihood exists that some spec- tacular thlngs may come to pass as the result of this new and col- lege-taught generation of smithiea.

in Charlottetown most of our horsemen depend on Emmett Gal- lant and from now on he will be one of the busiest men in t e Pro- vince and will use up between ii,- 000 and 4.000 shoes of various weights before the racing season closes. A guess is that he has 500 on hand and the next couple of weeks will be busy adding to that number in an endeavor to have at least 1.000 inada when night racing starts.

For several years Ott Gallant. Emmct's brother, who can turn his hand to almost anything in the mechanical line. has been making racing carts. but just re- cently he has branched out and made a racing bike. it is 50 inches wide and the shafts are 87 inches long. They are made of the very best ash. carefully steamed and cured and the fittings -- in fact every particle of the sulky- lias been made by master crafts- man Ott. It is finished in natural wood with pin striping to give a little more effect and the iron work is enameled in carmlne red. The wheels were made by Bevan's Bike Shop and the whole set up is a credit to both these craftsmen. Ottls many friends among the horsemen hope that now he has been successful in this initial venture that he will broaden out into sulky manufacture. There are at least a dozen horsemen who would be glad to have him make one for them. The first goes to the writer of these notes who is looking forward to a ride on it when racing starts.

The many friends of Arthur Godkin. Charlottetown, will regret. his death on Saturday. Mr. God- kin always had a great love for horses and was the owner of the famous pacer Moth Miller 2.17 l-4. and also that good Maritime trot- tcr Harry S. 2.16 1-4. He also de- veloped other favorites including Dusty Miller. and never lost in- terest in the sport.

To several valued correspon- dents who sent in material for this column which does not appear this week. the writer would like to explain that it was due to my being absent attending a meeting of the Executive of the U.5.T.A. at the Palmer House. Chicago. It was called for the purpose of de- ciding what action should be tak- en in view of the death of the .'aie President, Mr. Henry Knauf. Sec- :-eiary Frank Wiswall, who is a noted authority on law. stated that a provision had been made in the by-laws whereby the Vice Pres- ident automatically takes on the duties of the President on his de- misc. and would remain acting President until a meeting of the whole directorate could be held and a vote taken. It was decided that this would be inconvenient and disturbing now and that the beat arrangement would be for acting President and Vice Pres- ident. Don R. Miliar, to carry on as he is quite well qualified to handle any matters that come be- fore him and also to look after headquarters.

Mr. Miliar requested that one of the Executive be named to act in an advisory capacity with him and Lawrence B. Sheppard of Hanover Shoe Farms. the greatcsi breeding establishment in the United States. was unanimously chosen. Mr. Sheppard is a man of very sound judgment, a skilled nmzitcur driver. a business man of nigh calibre and one who thor- ouglily understands all the neces- sary factors that enter into the running of a large enterprise like the U.S.T.A. The Executive will be on call also. their phone num- bers having been taken and any- thing ln any district requiring the president's attention can be look- ed into very quickly.

We were the guests of the May- wood Truck officials for Wednes- day evening. A nice dinner was served in the dining hall and from box seats we witnessed very good racing. 1 do not think the track is as well laid out or as good a track as Charlottetown. Of course there is much more accommoda- tion and everything is on a very elaborate scale. the cost of the en- tire plant being well over 31.000.- 000. The racing was not as excit- ing aa one of our better nights here nor was the time any faster. Like Charlottetown tho Maywood track has to cater to horses of different speeds and of course the idea is to have each class as even- ly matched as possible. This par- ticular evening the racing was not of that description except in two events and they were really worth watching. The heat hit Chicago one day in advance of Charlotte- town and on Wednesday last it was 92. Air transportation took us there and back. leaving Friday morning at 5.30 and hitting Mone- tnn Thursday night at li.40. get- ting back on the early morning plane in time to be at the track to work a horse yesterday.

While the meeting of the U.S. T.A. was in progress Jim Croasctt. the Publicity Director. brought in a news release that a former track operator in New York state had

entered a suit against the As- sociation for 31,200,030. One of the Directors summed up the

feelings of those present by stat- ing that no matter what actions are taken against the U.S.'l'.A. the

determination to keep the sport clean must be strictly oburvad.

the number of trout caught or the ducks or partridge brought to blg. speaking of partridge reminded me of the Ohukkers. I luv a pair a few days ago at Orwell. They were wild as hawks and ran along the edge of a cultivated field with un- believable speed before taking to wing. In colour they resemble hen pheasants but there the resemb- lance ends. They run in a sort of zlg-sag manner with their bodies hold erect and short. pointed tails sticking up. Their feet and legs are a. brlirht Nd but one must View them at close range to observe this future.

. . .. They take off very similar to the Hun and are extremely fast. Their wings make ii drumming noise like those of the Buns -when they flush wild. In flight they are hard to distinguish from Runs on wing and n:et.hinks on a covey rise mistakes in identity will be frequent. Stand- ing in grass Chukkers could easily be mistaken for small hen phca..- ants. Its pleasing to see a now up- lland game bird with good pro- spects of becoming established in this province. This season hatch will indicate whether or not chuk- ker partridge will multiply to the extent that they will become legal game. If they take hold like the lions it will only be a matter of a few years before an open season will be the order of the day. 0 E t

Low abiding sportsmen have been greatly heartened at the stiff penalties recently handed out to spring goose shooters. Three were fined seventy dollars and costs last week and a fourth fined S2500 and costs and a 12 guage d ” bar- rclied hammer-less Belgian shotgun ordered forfeited to the Crown. it costs real money to replace a gun of this grade and it would be well for prospective game law violator; to make note of this fact. A num- ber of wildgeese were seized by R. C. M. Police officers during the lmonth of May.

Vancouver Awarded British Empire Games

VANCOUVER. May 28 - tCP) -- Vancouver was' awarded the 1934 British Empire Games over Montreal. Toronto and Hamilton because "we out-briefed them." Bob Osborne. president of the Ainatour Athletic Association said.

"We sold the voting committee." he explained, "by the evident fact that we.'as a going commun- ity. were 100 per cent behind our offer. We have. in short. pledged the city to come through."

Osborne. athletic director at the University of British Columbia. was the guiding spirit behind Vancouver's brief.

"i don't know how we are gn- ing to reach our promised ob- jective." he said. "but there are numerous ways of raising money and I expect we will employ them all."

in the brief Vancouver pledged herself to offer a stadium. swim- ming pool and housing facilities for the thousands of athletes and spectators who are expected to attend the games.

This is as it should be. Anyone who shoots game birds out of season is stealing from law abiding sports- men asweil as the great majority of the men and women in this coun- try who do not hunt but who love our wildlife for its intrinsic value. A new era has dawned in respect to penalties imposed for game law violations.
