There were I lot of surprises at ' the Sydney race meet last Mon- day night. One was the winning of the first race on the program by Mack Stout from Quick Lick.

Invitation To School Chilllren. um runs" ,

. The management of the Islander's Hockey Club which will represent Charlottetown in the Big Four. invites the school children of Charlottetown, Parkdale ind Spring Park, to be guests of the Club at a hockey game which will be played Tuesday afternoon, October 10th at. 4 p.m.

"Murphy" Chamberlain, team coach, will have two squads in action, and during the game he will be making decisions about the final make-up of his team for the opening game of the season. This game will not be for "peanuts"; it will be the real thing; with referees, linesmen, tlmekeepers and penalty box. In other words, the players who make the best show- ing. will win or clinch a place on the Club line-up.

We hope and believe that you kids will enjoy the game. lease maintain good order, and remain in your sea throughout the three periods. Do not move about unnecessarily.

HAVE FUN!

The end of the racing season - and we wouldn't be surprised if it is I perfect afternoon. M n- day. Thanksgiving Day. for o Pl-aught's really good four events program. The entries appear on this page and you can judge for yourself what I battle it will be in each of the classes.

We had I short chat with Don Seaman re his recent visit to Roosevelt Raceway. He came away greatly enthused with the plant and the friendliness shown him by horse owners, top trainers and in fact everyone he met. He had I chat with Sen Palin. Johnny Simpson and other well known handlers of the ribbons, but his principal interest. of course, was in Joe O'Brien. Joe is trained down very fine, said Don, and he has about twenty horses in his string and there are so many calls for his services as catch driver that he has to pick and choose. As Joe is one of the tops for "the trophy he naturally does not want to take I very poor horse. but sometimes he good nIturedly- does so. Don saw the 850.000 trot and the masterful drive given Pronto Don by Sep Palin that led to vic- -tory. Joe told him to be out early and see Proximity - the world's greatest money winning trotter and practically udbeaien queen of the turf - warm up. gltitook three miles jogging and four heats to get the kinks out of her. When she first appe ed one could not imagine her in g able to trot I fast mile, but that is the way they get her ready every trip and but for I little mistake on the home stretch she would have copped the 250,000 event.

We have received I copy of The Canadian Horse for Septem- bar..In illustrated magazine de- voted mainly to thoroughbreds. Oh the cover is a picture of the head of Dr. Stanton 1.50 4-5, one of the world's greatest money winning pacers and winner of all three heats of the Canadian Pac- ing Derby It Hamburg. 0nt.. this season. The "Doc" was original- 1y , chased for 3500 and convert- ed from I ti-otter to I pacer, by his owner Lindy Fraser of,Forrest. Ont. On the bottom of the cover is "The Kentucky of Canada''- Inc page 8. This story is by Frank

Power, well known harness horse writer of Halifax. NS. and it is devoted entirely to Prince Ed- ward island as I harness horse racing centre. It also features Charlottetown and its track and the great contests that have been held over it. Mr. Power is one of the best authorities on harness racing in Canada and has I facile pen, which is shown to very great advantage in thisgartlcle. it will certainly be widely read and quite I surprise we are sure. to the thoroughbred owners and readers of the magazine, to learn that the smallest province in the Dominion has contributed so much to'har- ness racing. There is an excellent photo of Joe O'Brien driving Brew- er's Gallon 2.02 1-5 at Santa Anita.

Our good friend Dick l-Iegan sends us I clipping from I New York paper which sums up the season's campaign at Roosevelt Raceway . . . The curtain was drawn at Roosevelt Raceway Sat- urday night Is 17,101 fans braved the first blast of the fall winds to witness I splendid program of rac- ing and to wager 3755.065 on the results. The season had extended from 108 nights during which only 22 races were rained out. The attendance was 1,563,857. The top attendance figure was 25,173 on June 7th. The top price for I winning horse was for the two- year-old Albert Dean, which re- turned S0240 and the lowest price paid was 32.00 for two dollars in- vested on Proximity. The Ontario driver Lindy Fraser grabbed both ends of the daily double with Lee Early and Victory Molllwyn for 340.00. Two drivers drove four winners one night, Wayne Smart turning the trick with Breeze On. Scottish Pence, Aimee Scott and Mighty Song on May 16th and Johnny Simpson iieing with Shady Hanover.

Truro's racing card Monday night was one of the best of the entire season. fast time was made in many of the events. Race No. 2 was won by Aubrey Budlong (Allen) from Judd, Polly Rey- nolds and four others including Miss Donna Mae in 2.11 2-5. Race No. 5 was I victory for Lady Abner, owned by Claude Smith.

Our good friend Billy Connick. Woburn, Mass, writes that he was sorry he could not get down for Old Home Weelethis year as he had gone to Goshen .t!or Hamble- tonlan week and then to Baddeck. Cape Breton. for another week. While in Baddeck he listened to the broadcast of the races Old Home Week every sfternoon and the reception was good. He wants to know what became of s colt Harry Murphy had four years ago and ends by saying he hopes to see us next summer and the track with all its improvements . . .0ur mutual friend Harry Murphy still has the colt you refer to. He is named Rose4bud's First and is very handsome and certainly well bred, and Harry who is a great horse lover, would not part with him. Billy also sends us a copy of the Lexington Herald which has an entire page devoted to Thurs- day's races. September 28th. .

Things happened fast after the initial shot. A second single black joined the first and then with is rushing sound of wing beats ten blacks came on with their throttles wide open. They overshot the de- coys on the first try, then made I. tentative pass from behind in broken formation that made a poor target and I motioned for the kid to hold hteady. On the third swing they came in from the front and .made a perfect target as they fan- ned out in line over the decoys.

It was each man for himself and I picked two ducks on my end of the string and scored I clean doub- lo. I turned to my partner: "what do you think of that for shooting?" It was then I noticed two ducks with heads down moving in aimless circles near the edge of the pond on my left. I fired another ques- tion wlthout waiting an answer to the first: ”W.'heI'e did those ducks come from?" "Those are mine Pop", Apparently I wasn't. the only one who could drop a duck with each barrel. I had shot so many opening days with the sovuthport I-farmer I had gotten myself into the habit of believing such things couldn't happen. Six big blacks with six shcts in less than ten minutes will long be remembered.
