The Bangor Daily News has a splendid photo finish of the first heat won by June Morning in 2.04 3-5. which we are sending to George Mac- Donald who will be interested. In the old days there was great riv- glry between Skowhegan Fair and Charlottetown. cach striving to have better vaudeville and race program than the other. Quite often dates clashed but there was always the friendliest feeling: be- tween the managements of both Fairs. Skowhegan is still the ban- ner meet in the State of Maine for racing, prize show gwinning cattle and other breeds, as well as vaudeville programs. l

This is not hockey weather and Iofllllllv-be one would conscience thlnkina about the ice game until some time in November: but this is the year when Charlottetown is endeavouring to bring back to the city a brand of hockey in line with" the Charlottetown tradition as I hockey centre. , i To get back in the swim I great deal of organizational work must be carried out. and the money raised with which to finance I team in the Blgtlvb. Great pro- li& hll been made. and if the effort expended up to the present. is followed through. local follow- ers will have a team they can be proud of when the schedule opens. There have been. naturally, the inevitable setbacks and disap- pointmcrvtsias well as bright spots, as the ground work has been laid. The opening ticket aaio Ionic days ago was very promising. but has lagged in the last ten days. Thous- ands of people want to see the "Islanders"-izlie odictal name of the Club-become a fighting entry in the Big Five League. and the potential backing of the venture is large enough and enthusiastic en- ough to guarantee a financial suc- cess. However. souls of the fans are careless about securing tick- eta. and it is on the ticket sale that the whole scheme hinges. If the advance sale reaches the total desired there will be no question of the "Islanders" putting together I scrappy. aextette. nor of money worries.

"Murph" Chamberlain. the ex- Csnadien. with many years in the Natibnai Hockey League behind him. is scouting for players; the type of youngsim" who has the ability to aspire to N. H. L. circles. It is Chamber-lain's intention to get youthful players who have -Big League possibilities with a few veterans to give his team balance and stability.

The Charlottetown team will be community-backed and it depends entirely on the man in the street whether the club goes places or falls by the wayside. Appreciation of the effort belnglmade by the public-spirited organizers can only be e reaaed at the box office. and it wil benent the fans little it the

Encouraging reports are coming in regarding our Ruffed Grouse. This native upland game bird. with fan-tail and black ruff on its neck, is a highly prized gnmo bird.

No reports of Chukkcr part- ridge broods have been received to date or have any been observed. Methinks this will be the crucial year for the Chukkers. This coming Fall will tell the tale on how adapt- able ghey are to their new environ- ment. Thsy have a reputation of raising false hopes for a couple of years and then fading out of the

A fairly steady trickle of sea trout is moving up a number of our streams but the largest schools are still hovering in deep salt. water. A few are being landed well below tide mark.

There is always some lucky angler who lands a real prize and raises the hopes of his fellow fishermen accordingly but on the whole. sea trout: angling has been an uphill game this past season.

The visiting players have an im- pressive string of victories lined up this season and they have played most of the senior clubs in Ontario and Quebec. winning bn average of seventy-five per cent of the games played. Four of their players are ex pros and the others have been pick- ed by talent aoouts to report to the Boston Red sox training camp when it opens.

Apart from their superior playing abilities, the House of David team. as those who follow baseball know.

are noted for the long flowing boards the players wear. Advance - formation on the visitors is that uc to a face infection several of the lads'werc obliged to remove their stub adornment but the remainder of the team are poor customers for ,the barbers chair.
