It is a pleasure to greet you here again at the beginning oi’ another season and to make a report you on the activities of the past year. As we look bsck on it we consider 1944 a most succesful rac- ing season. It started at Summer-

Thmlli enterprise of a number of harness horsemen in C ‘ and vicinity a new track was opened there and two matinee meetings held which were largciy attended and very successful nf- fairs. Great credit is due the horsemen for their encouragement and activity not only by their building of the track but by their entries made st other race meets and by the way they have sup- ported ice racing. Matinee races were also held at Riverside and Alberton.

Large attendances festuredrewry meeting. Summorsid July 1st had

one of the. best crowds of ts h ry, while st Charlottetown Exhibition new records were made for attendance.

Last fall and this spring new horses have been bro ht 'in enterprising owners an these w make their a pearance when ra ing starts an , we have no doubt, will give a good account of them- selves

._.

During the year our Island cir- cuit sustained the loss through death of some very valued mem- bers, notably, Professor B. A. Rock- ford and J. Pope Clarke. Both had very likesble personalities and their passing has saddened

many. | I would like to express my ain-

cere thanks to all the members of this Club who have interested themselves in its activities and helped to make the season of i944 the success it has been. is was followed by the sub- mission of Secretary Treasurer D. K. Mcbeodks mclal statement which showed a balance after all bills had been pa d. The resident then called upon Mr. J. . Bouiter. secretary oi the Provincial Exhibition Association. who tendered a cheque for thirty dollars to George H. Brooklns whose Christie Budlcns was lead- ing point winner on the circuit last season with 68 points. The president then presented the other winners mentioned report with cheques as follows: Geo. l-l. Brookins, fifteen dollars; James Power, owner of Giftline, ten dol-

E

liars; Charles Willis, owner cf Ray-

mond Budlcng. seven dollars; C.

If

of Lady Rose. two dollars and fifty cents each, splitting fourth prize.

The appointment of two direct- ors to fill terms oi three years each resulted in George Mclnt re. Montague, and Charles Wills, Covehesd, being selected. The slate of directors ior i945 was then an- nounced as George A. Callbeck, C. H. Horton. Fred J. E, Wright. Wil- lard Kelly, George‘ McIntyre and Charles Willis.

President Callback referred to the loss sustained by the Club through the death of J. Pope Clarke, one whom all members liked as s. sportsman and a man. He, personally. could not ask for a finer racing competitor than Pope and he felt that a visit to the track on race day would not be the same without him. 0n motion of J. W Bouiter, supported by Lt.-Col. JP. Hooper. a motion of condolence was passed to be sent to his be- reaved wlfe, all present standing with bowed heads.

Discussl took place regarding membership in the United States Trotting Association. It was point- ed~out that the Nova Scotls. racing circuit had unanimously decided to continue with it and on motion of Lt.-Col. D. A. MacKinnmr second- od by LL-Coi. J. P. Hooper the meeti decided that Island tracks and Is and do likewise. ,

The question of continuing priz- es to leading horses racing on the circuiuwasdiscussedand Sccrctaly J. W. Boultcr of the Provincial Exhibition Association stated that they would again give a prize of thirty dollars for the greatest point winner.

On motion of Willard Kelly, sec- onded by Dr. i-l. Mclntvre, the cir- cuit aciouted the resolution to con- tinue with. the same schedule of prizes as the previous year. harne- ly. fifteen, ten. seven and five doi- lars for the first. second, third and fourth horses respectively;

Visitors present included Elmer Campbell, Russell Lynch and John McQuinn. all from North Sydney. President Callback invited Elmer Campbell to tell the meeting some of the race doings in Cape Breton. Elmer reported that the Sydney track which is being rebuilt is now being re-surfeced and graded by Harry O'Brien of Alberion, and s new grandstand capable of holding 2500 people has been built, togeth- er with 40 race stalls and other fixtures that go with n good race track. The total cost will be in the neighborhood of $55000 and it is being provided by a Community Club Association. No one member can subscribe for more than . Charles Ballard's North Sydney race track is also being improved and it is expected that the. two tracks will have a very busy sea- son, with Sydney starting ofi with "WW Jnlv "wt and North Sydney holding earlier meetings on ltlsy 2th and June 11th. the latter two being one-half miic hcat races.

LONDON. May 2-A battle over women football players rages n- ~round rrWeymouth on England's south coast. .

There have been munnuringsior weeks, but the war came into the open after two tesrnrof girl arms workers played in e. charity cup final.

The gir they felt

Then came comment from still more outside sources. A mother of one of the girl players termed the game as played by women "Disgraceful" andradded that "I know why Jnen crowd to . them." A father of one oi the players had no objection, but the rector of Weymouth sold:

"Undigniiled-but it is on medi- cal grounds that I object."

Then up spoke a Northerner:

“What's all the bother about." he said. "Girls have been playing football in Northern England for vents." O O I l
