Although the times were good, 2.12 1-5 the fastest, and 222 2-5 the slowest. they were not the fastest this season, but for close. blanket finishes and tightly pack- ed fields over the full mile route. it was an outstanding meet that provided thrills by the minute.

. . .

Having the good fortune to be blessed with the finest. racing weather that has been irl evidence for any previous meet this year. drivers, horses and fans seemed to take the opportunity to make it a real day of racing. and judging from the many comments to be heard from the throng, it was one that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyborby.

Starting out with the number four classified event. when a field of eight horses went away behind the gate to put up changing bat- tles for positions for three heats before it was whittled down to three finalists, Carl Aubrey, Bob Canuck and Prince Marine. who had to go a fourth heat. the pro- gram was a steady tempo of ex- citement through all the remain- ing events.

one of the leading heats on the card was the number one classi- fied, when Prince Budlong. Pil- bert, Eleanor G. and Quick Lick battled it out for three heats over the mile distance. There was hardly a time .in any of those three heats, or at any point over the track. that the well-known "blanket" wouldn't have covered the four-horse field, and when they went under the wire at the finish, it. was anybody's guess as to who Was the winner.

It was like that all the way through. Heading down the stret- ches, horses were coming out of nowhere to challenge.the leaders the last few yards to the wire in almost dead heats, that had the judges calling for photos on al- most every occaslon. Charlotte- town's most esteemed presiding judge and announcer, Dr. F. C. Dougan. who knows how to call them. was heard .a. number of times using the remark ”this is not official yet. but so and so are your first, and second place hor- ses." And when he cant tell them without a photo, they have to be close.

For those of you who are still indicating your interest in "Knotty Problems of Baseball" here is one for you to figure out during luncn hour. or some other such time as might provide you with a few idle minutes.

There was only one accident during the entire meet. which came mightv close to being a seri- ous one, but fortunately turned out without causing injury to either the driver or horse. The incident occurred coming down the stretch at the half in the number two classified, when Bee Budlong. who was right up with the lead- era. upset her sulky- to unseat driver Joe neasey. 1-lennessey. who rolled clear after being drag- ged a short distance by one leg. narrowly missed being hit by an- other oncoming horse and sulky. the horse going over him without touching. and the sulky wheels passing on either side of him for a very narrow escape. Both driver and horse returned in the next heat to place fourth and again in the final heat.
