The Victoria Driving Club's an-

nual Inter-Provincial harness horse ice racing meet got away to a good start yesterday afternoon at the North River speedway when a total of 25 Island horses competed keenly for- top honors in four trotting ngd pacing events that came up with some close fin- ishes and fast times considering the zero weather conditions under which they had to perform.

Despite the raw wind and cold. which persisted throughout the meet, a surprisingly large number of racing fans were on hand and the calibre of the racing can be pretty well summed up by the fact that the crowd struck right through to the final heat although many were complaining of cold feet and hands etc. Some enter- prising individuals however, were a big help to those battling cold, when they set up a couple of shacks and served steaming hot tea and most took full advéntage of the service.

The second section of the three- day program will be run off this afternoon when the championship trot event and three other classes will be held, commencing at two o'clock. The first of the Mainland entries will be making their ap- pearance, which is expected to add to the kceness of the racing. Those representing the Mainland are from Halifax, Dartmouth and Pug- wash Driving Clubs and consist of a total of 12 entries.

We noted yesterday during the racing, that many of the specta- tors who were in cars, were land- lng in difficulties by parking too close to the banks of snow that have been built up along the track by the plo\vs._A few had to be towed out when they became stuck by sinking down into the soft sur- face of the ice caused by water oozing out from the banked up snow, Officials caution all drivers to park their cars well back of the snow wall to prevent reoccur- rences of this nature during the remainder of the meet.

In view of the fact that this writer has been taking a bit of a panning from some of our sport- ing friends in th-e West for going out on a limb with advance pre- dictions, it would probably be wise to show a little caution as regards any predictions on to- night’: clash at the Forum, be- tween the Kenslngton and Char- lottetown Victoria" Juveniles. How- ever we would like to be permit- ted the privilege of saying that tbeyvwlll play and suffice it to add that we hope the best team wins.

Officials of the Saint Dunstan's University Intercollegiate hockey club informed this column last night that the Saints will be the hosts here at the Forum on Fri- day night to the Mount Allison University pmckstcrs in a sched- uled New Brunswick-Prince Ed- ward Island intercollegiate hoo- key series clash.

Despite the cold. below zero wea- ther, twenty-five horses tiu-nod out to compete in four classes yester- day afternoon in the opening day's racing of the three-day Interpre- vinclal Harness Ice meet sponsor- ed by the Victoria Driving club over the North River speedway.

competing over an almost per- feot track. all four events in trot and pace divisions came up with some keen. close racing that gave the large number of racing fans present plenty of action.

Calumet Bee Long captured first place honors in the Class A Trot and Pace, but Dot Budlong came up with the best time of the day with a quarter in 31 seconds in winning the first heat of that ev- ent. she had the second place summary in the race.

In the class B Pace. Miss Adele W. was the winning horse with a. 2 1 1 summary and Rosalie Hoop- er running a close second with s first. 0. second and a third. Wil- lard Kelly's Miss Playfalr was the race winner of the class 0 Pace, coming through with s, first in the initial heat, second in the middle heat and first again in the final heat. Direct Volo was second with a 4 1 3 summary, while Lin.-1 signal had seconds in the first and third heats but lost that posi- tion in the race by not starting in the second heat.

The closest racing of the pro- gram was witnessed in the Class D Trot. when three heat winners were declared‘, to force the race into a fourth and final heat. Lusty's Queen took first in the opening heat, Orville B. was the winner of the second, and Peter Dale came through in the third. .Orville B. was the race winner, however, with a first in the final heat, and came down well in front.

The mobile starting gate was used in the opening heat of the day, but its further use had to be abandoned when it was found that it cou‘.dn’t get away fast enough on the ice to keep ahead of the starting horses.

It is hoped that the gate will be used for today's racing. however, when precautions will be taken to use sand, sawdust or ashes to give the vehicle better traction.

The following are the results of yesterday’s racing: —

Juvenile Teams Clash Al Forum Ion_ighl

There should be plenty of action at the Forum tonight when the Charlottetown Victoria and Ken- slngton Juveniles cross sticks there at 1:30 in a scheduled Island Juv- enile Hockey Leaguo fixture.

Although the game can do little to help the Vice along, as far as playoff hopes are concerned. with five losses to date, and this their last game in regular schedule play. they will nevertheless be 'ng out strong to garner at least one victory in league competition and are expected to put up n determ- ined resistance against the ag- gressive blind of Kensington Juv- eniles, who have been the only team to date to send the league- leadlng Abbies down to defeat.

Flor Kenslngton. however. it will be different. A victory can do a lot to further their present second place standing in the league, and if they can garner a win tonight, will be only two points away from 9. first place tie for the final league leadership at the end of scheduled play. It will also jack their win- ning streak to four \games in five starts, and with one left to play. stand a good chance of garnering the leadership tie.
