Back Stretch (Continued from page 6) in the last race. The bag landed neatly on the sulky aha t of A horse driven by Al Winger and stayed there for the mile. At Roosevelt Raceway a week ago last Monday night, the elements were in no iesting mood when a freak rain storm up-rooted the driver's stand on the first turn and wrapped it around a. patrol judge's steel elevated stand,
smashing both. Post time for the
first race was delayed ten min- utes while the track crew cleared away the wreckage.
Walnut Hall Farm. Lexington, Ky., suffered a very severe loss last week when two of its younger mares. Gallonette and Shya Wor- thy. were struck by lightning and instantly killed. They were ap- parently hit by the same bolt as they were lying close -together. Gallonette was a seven-year-old daughter of Bill Gallon 1.59',& and Shye Worthy was a five-year-old daughter of Scotland 1.59lA and Cita Worthy 2.09'.i. a half sister to Volomite 3, 203V. and the dam of the trotter Watchim 2.06. Shye Worthy was in foal to Mighty Song i.67y. Cvallonetts had not been bred Iong. While the above loss may not seem to many a heavy one, yet potentially it might mean as much as 350,000 to 3100,- OOO or more to Walnut Hall Farm.
In the" calendar candidates of season's champions published in the Horseman and Fair World. we note the filly Uleen Flngo by Cal- umet Fingo-Ulccn Abbe, has the fastest mark of the season so far for a 3-year-old filly over a half- mile track, with the mile in 2.021 H5 at Roosevelt. driven by Earle

5.0. (Doctor Jack) who. spent the past winter in Florida. speaking about drivers and trainers. said that Earle Avery is now highly regarded as a colt trainer and driver of any age horses, either trotters or pacers, and he is also well liked by the members of his craft.
The '1-year-old pacer Guinea Gold 1.59';4, that has had his rac- ing career cut short several times by such things as broken legs. and was bred this season to twenty mares. started off his racing car- eer in 1952 with a flying start, winning the 35,000 Baltimore Stake in track record time of 2.03 M5. Locally the handsome stallion Argot Pointer 2.07. owned by Hor- ace Willis, has been used as A stock horse but will be regularly campaigned this season.
Our good friend James Rankin of Bunbury was delighted last week to greet the arrival of a handsome colt by Joeedsle Hoos- ier 2.0'i, dam. Marjorie Budlong 2.12:4, one of the most popular racing mares of a. few years ago. The youngster resembles his sirc in color. almost identical mane and tail and is as lively as an eel, and his dam is very, very proud of him. We hope he will give many hours of pleasure to Mr. Rankin when he becomes old en- ough to take his place on the race track.
Louis G. Najac, who has many friends throughout Nova Scotia, writes that he is very grateful to those who have remembered him while in hospital. He is now on crutches and will be for six months but is feeling much better but regrets that he cannot take the summer off and visit his old home and see his old friends. The handsome, smooth-galied and very fast four-year-old pacer. Mona Clcgg, owned by ECIdlP Coles, Mayfield. P. E. I., was sold this week to a party in Maine, the business being conducted by Earle Semple of Kensihgton. Mr. Coles took as part payment a superbly bred young stallion. Mona Clegg with very little training was 3-3-3 in the Three Year Old Pacing Futurity at the Charlottetown track last year. It was won in record time by the pacer Doctor J. A. in 2.12 N5, the other heats being in 2.12 U5, 2.15.
Patrick Primrose, the promisim: pacer owned by Walter 5. Found oi Mereed, California, continues his winning streak. In his last race at Bay Meadows he won from a fast field in 2.04 3x5, his final quarter in 28 2x5 seconds. It was his eighth victory in eight starts. Again our congratulations to our genial friend Walter, who surely has a two-minute padbr.
George A. MacDonald. Boston, sends the results of one of the night races at Foxboro last week. In the 2.14 stake which had nint- starters. all fast class pacers. Super Hal (C. Maugerl was third in 2.13 M5 for one and one-six- teenth mile. The first dash at one mile was won by Bern I-lanovcr in 2.03 U5. who was fifth in the
final. Another starter in the same event was Canada Direct 2.06 U5. now being campaigned
by Heber Sweeney of Bridgewater, who was unplaced.
The opening or the harness racing season here will take place stg the Charlottetown track to- night with nine dashes carded. It is a splendid program and we pre- dict a lot oi close finishes and ex- cellent racing. Between 70 and 80 horses are being trained daily
kept in wonderful condition and tonight it will be very fast. The trotting classes will be much bet- ter filled this season they they

set up it was done so as a. service to Canada. "They took over many small companies that could not continue in business and so incur- red deficits to beam with They extended lines throughout Canada helped develop the Dominion and in doing so have been criticized. Set The Pace
"Through the years they have set the pace for waxes in the Domin- ion, they have improved workiris conditions and they have trained technicians some of Whom NW9 gone into other businesses and played their part in developlnlz the country." Mr. Mclsaac said.
"The question has been asked why they did not ilo into the bill business when the other companies started and the answer is that the highways were not ready for them at that time."
Regarding charges that a Rail- way bus franchise would result in a monopoly for the Railway, he pointed out that the English trans- portation system has reached it high state of efficiency since being taken over by the Government.
The publicly owned transporta- tion syetem in Sweden is probably the best in the world." he contin- ued." In other countries where there have been public utilities un- der government control, these util- ities have been paying proposi- tions."
"Business trends indicate that a Railway passenger service as ex- ists on Prince Edward Island is a thing oi the past. We are paying ilor a service which provides no service to us." he stated. "We could not expect the C.N.R. so maintain such a service for us.
"We should not expect such a service all year round for the sake of a few weeks in the winter time and we should not expect the C.- N. R. to run a bus service to com- pete with itself.
"The question is. If the Railway does not give us it bus service, will the Bus Company provide us with a stand-by service in the winter- time?
Other Interests
"Or do we want to see the ser- vice go into the hands of a private company or a monopoly of certain individuals who do not have to de- pend upon transportation to make money? These certain people have other interests the same as the C. P. R. who have other means to finance their transportation arm," he pointed out.
"Under the bus service the C.N.R. promises to provide a reasonable service for the people in all parts of the Province. The Railway sta- tions are not much good for people today and anyway a recent survey shows that there are Inore people closer to the highways that the railway.
"There has been some talk of a strike but the matter. as I see it is a separate issue. Even if it is not. the Borden ferry has only been tied up once by a strike in the past 75 years and sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a look at the other fellow's problems. In addilion it is a known fact that there are many, many fewer strikes in publicly own- ed corporations than in private businesses."
Mr. Mclsssc also thought that the time was not too far distant when national control of the high- ways would be in effect. He thought that the bus service was upheld because it was a good service and condemned because it did not pro- vide any shelters or stop-over
there sometime because oi the left! quantities to be ferried. In addi- tion there will have to be a winter service, possibly out of Geor89WWn-
"Under such circumstances it uould hardly be feasible for the Dominion Government to build I million dollar boat and hand it over to a private company to 0P9?" ate and also help subsidize it. 1: doesn't seem logical," Mr. Mclsaao added.
He also pointed out that the O.N. R. could give better freiizhi service if there were no passenger service. Regarding the suggestion that the C.N.R.. and Bus Company work together he stated that It sounded good, but who would be boss?
In conclusion he pointed out that the C.N.R. over a period of years were a permanent organization set up for transportation services while the other companies went in and out of the business as it suited their needs and aims.
Mr. George Shaw of West Cape stated that he was not in favor of a railway bus franchise. "We must watch out for those big monop- olies," he said. "I believe that this matter should be given a lot of thought and consideration." He stated that he was satisfied with the present bus system and he was not always satisfied with the ser- vice rendered by the C. N.R. espec- ially when they refused in run a jltney from Tignislt to Borden.
Mr. Edison Rayner suggested that a survey should he taken of the people to determine their opinion. while Messrs O'Connor and Prid- ham took no definite stand on the matter.
