at Hollywood Park where the West- tcrn Harness Racing Association is holding its fall meeting which lasts to December 5. If ever there was a galaxy of speed that point should carry the honors because al- most all the star trotters and pac- ers are now stabied there.

"Saturday Joe OBrien in a. rous- mg finish got Prince Jay home on lhe front end of a mile in 2.00 and to round out his afternoon, won with Wilmington Star with a mile in 2.00 2-5. Earlier in the week Claude brought. Imprudent home in 2.03 2-5. I raised lmpru- lent and sold him last year to the present owner. He is a good horse nut for most'of the time had been n bad hands. It was a snatch mount for Claude and in my Judg- znent heidid a good Job. He is a hard worker and spends very little time idling around. when I was past I had the pleasure of meet- mg Mr. ,James Flood, father of Mrs Joe O'Brien, and we had some nice talks together.

"Our stable did fairly well back more. Patrick Primrose took a re- lUl'd of 2.00 at Vernon Downs and has only out of the money once. I saw him in a photo-finish in ;' 01. The three-year-old half .broth- or to Imprudent, Hawkins I-loss. look a mark of 2.03.and I believe in is endowed with real speed and will take a fast mark this fall. Mrs-Statement won last week in :08 1-5. He is a three-year-old ii-otter. Prudent Found took a mark or 2.06, developed lameness and has been turned out. The race meeting at Hollywood Park is a smooth running organization with a dash of Hollywood atmosphere prevailing all the way through." . .. l"i'Om the above it can be seen that waiter has lost nothing of his love iur horses since he left the Gar- lic-n of the Gulf and is now pro- .lncing speed equal to the best in (hliiomia. -

news from New Brunswick . . . "Harry Mount was -up in Maine a couple of weeks ago watching the races and had a great time there. Said he did not meet many or the old boys he used to know. He saw Mr. McGee finish second in 2.06- 1-5 and he won the next heat but they didn't announce the time." (Mr. McGee is by Abner '1'. ciegg and his dam is Maywin. He was bred by W. D. Profitt, Kenslngwn, P.E.1.) "Tom Scoville, formerly of Gagetown, N.B., now with Poplar Hill Farm, Lexington, Kentucky. was home for a week. I spent Fri- day aftemoon with him and would like to have spent more time with him. He likes the Lar- kins, owners of Poplar Hill Farm, very much and is getting along very well down there. He says Joe O'Brien is top driver down there and don't you think they do not respect him. Tontmy expects to go to Orlando about December 1 along with the Poplar Hill stable. They are sending Poplar Tom and Poplar Perry to the Harrisburg sale. He says Poplar Tom is a love- ly little horse and very handy.

"He met Henry Dewitt at the Lexington sale and had a nice chat with him. I see by the harness horse papers that a full brother of Margy Frisco. owned by Henry Dewitt, was sold for 52800 as a yearling at Lexington. I asked Tommy why Joe didn't start Mea- dow Pace at Lexington and he said that the horse developed a fever at Delaware. Ohio, and it was thoughtt best not to start him. The Fredericton Exhibition, Ltd., has decided to go ahead and light the track for next year and if possible try and form a circuit with Wood- stock, st. Stephen and St. John”.

"I had to go to Presque Isle yesterday on business and on my way back I stopped in to see Cecil McGinley and I was very sorry to find that his wife had passed away on Sunday. I stopped at Monticello to see Elbridge Well- ington and he was away, but 1 saw his colt, a full brother to Mr.

Red Brewer, the man who raced Mr. McGee all summer for Wellington. told me he wished he had a barn full like him. 1 did not have rrsich time in Woodstock but they told me most of the boys were back irom Quebec. E. 1). Savage. Fredericton, sold Mac- Arthur Astra last week to Marshall Govang of Saint John. Mr. Savage is wintering Jo-Ann Castle in his own barn this winter." . . . we regret the sad news of the passing of Mrs. Mcainiey oi I-loulton, and we extend on behalf of ourselves and other horseme , our deepest sympathy to Mr. McGinley.

The 15th annual auction of the Standardbred Horse Bales Com- pany will be held in the Pennsyl- vania Btate Farm show arena, Harrisburg, Pa.. November 0-10-11. 12 and 13. Nine hundred horses have been catalogued and the com- pany believes it will be one of the greatest lots of record horses ever to be sold at public auction. Fast record horses include Excellent Chief 2, 2.01 2-5. holder of the world's record for a divided heat race by two-year-old pacers and with winnings of over 545,000 this season. Also the three-year-old l-lillsota 2.00 with winnings of 365,- 000 at two and three years old, and such fast record horses as Sir Joseph 1.58 4-5, widower Cyrus 1.59 1-5, Poor Pop 2.00 5-2, Wil- mington Direct 2.001 2-5, Forever Hanover 2.02. Winnie Direct 2.02 and dozens of others with records better than 2.06.

Among them will be many of horses that have been featured at such raceways as Roosevelt, Yonk- ers, Vernon Downs and other half- mlle and mile tracks. Those on the lookout for well bred yearlings can expect to see some future worldls champions among those offered by Hanover Shoe Farms and other leading breeding establishments. Last year Maritime buyers bought over twenty horses at Harrisburg

Dufferin track, Toronto, that has been a race centre for over fifty years, will open on November 18 and racing will be continued for 100 days through March, 1054. Races will be held daily except Sunday with classes for all horses and purses of 3300. 3400, 5600 up. Ten events daily, no entrance fee charged. The secretary is H. E. Wicks, 900 Dufferin St., Toronto, and Mr. Wicks, we may state. is a fixture He was there in 1914 when we raced at Duiferin and we trust that he will be there many more years.

Aubrey Rodney, who has been before the public as a top harness driver since 1912 when he made Baden the champion.trotter of the United States and he was sold for 830,000 to the Russian government, is still-at his same old tricks. He won the summer title as leading driver at Saratoga Raceway and that made it seven out of eight years for similar honors. He is also this season's leading driver there with 5'! firsts, 59 seconds and 48 thirds, his percentage being .336. Second to him is Charlie Flemming with 34 wins, 20 seconds and 23 ithirds, percentage .349. Charlie Flemming is a son of the celebrated Vic Flemming, who gave Billy Direct his world's record pac- ing of 1.55 and marked several other horses in 2.00 or better. He iwas one of the greatest race driv- ers the world has ever known.

Townsend Ackerman who every few years brings out a real star. this season trained and raced Em- pire Song for W. P. Caouette of Skowhegan. Maine, and won one of the richest stakes raced over .half-mile tracks this season at Eloomsburg. Penn. Empire. Song ,was one of a field of 13 and was a handy winner in 2.03 and back in 2.10 1-5, the former a record for the stake. The purse was 313.225. Back in 1923 Ackerman raced Ella Druien to a three-year-old record of 2.04 and sold her to Thamos Murphy for 525,000, He gave her

a. record of 2.01 1-4. She is the third dam of Empire Song and that was one -reason why Town- send Ackerman bought the coil: at 1-larrlsburgh last fall. Empire Song was consigned by C. T. Black, Berryville, Pa., and was by Peter Song 2.00, and his sales price was 8050-a mighty good buy. wasn't it

It is really wonderfu what trainers and drivers can do with two-year-olds now. Of course the two-year-olds are fed and devel- oped so that they are really equal to four-year-olds raised in the old way. Take for instance, Pronto Boy, a trotting gelding that Benny Schue won the Cimarron race stake with a purse of 311,700 a little over two weeks ago trotting in world's record time of 2.04 3-5 and 2.05. Two weeks ago he came back to win the oldest of all American trotting stakes, the Lexington, that was established in 1075 with a purse of 311,400 and his miles were 2.05 1-5, 2.04 2-5 The two-year-old pacer Excellent Chief that is be- ing ieatured at the Harrisburg sale was another instance. He won the 518,600 stake for two-year-old pac- era on the opening day is I-Exr ington with miles in 2.03 3-5 and 2.01 2-5 and on the final day of the ten-day meeting he won the 512,600, losing the first heat in 2.03 to Dale Frost. He won the second heat in 2.03 4-5 and then stepped 'ms third mile in 2.01 2-5. a world's record by a three-year-old pacing colt for a third heat.

Excellent Chief is owned by E. J. Baker, is man whose greatest interest and pleasure is race horses and who is still the owner of the world's champion trottcr Greyhound 1.55 1-4. The driver of Excellent Chief was Ralph Bald- win, a Canadian from Western Canada.

Joe O'Brien and Del Cameron have been great friends ever since Joe started to drive race horses in the U.S.A. and now we notice where Del is sending one of his top horses, Newport Chief. to Call- lornla for Joe to race. When Joe has two horses in a race and can secure Del's services he has done so and likewise Del.

We mentioned where the book of Adios 1.57 1-2 was closed and that Iola Henley 2.07 2-5 is book- ed to him. Now we learn that tre- mendous prices are being offered Del Miller by leading stock farms for his great stallion. He is now the sire of the two-year-old world's record'holder, Adios Boy. whose mark of 1.58 3-5 was sen- sstional in a time effort at. Lex- ington, and he is also the sire of two-year-old Adios Betty. that took a record of 1.58 4-5 in s. time trial at Lexington. and 12 or more two-year-olds that took records be- low 2.10 this season.

A very fine business man and great harness horse lover passed away recently in Saint John. NB, James Neill. Over thirty years ago Mr. Neill was acting as judge at various race meetings in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. His courteous treatment of drivers and his good judgment in the stand was always appreciated. In private life he had thousands of friends because he was a friendly man and always enjoyed having a conversa- tion and had sometninz kind '0 say about everyone. The writer knew him intimately and regrets his passing very much.
