Back stretch

ltlmea was not a popular one with most of those present. They felt that the Maritlrnea might be a dumping ground for overaze horses from other parts of Canada

'and the United States. Defenders

of the new rule believed that it would help to interest more new owners and give them an opport- unity to acquire a love of the sport.

Welcome visitors to the meet- ing were Mr. Jacques Gravel. president of the Harness Racing Club. Quebec. and one of the principal owners of the Quebec City Race Track. and Mr. Henri Bertrand. manag of that track.

Mr. Gravel called on spoke of the racing in Quebec City and how pleased they were to have peveral Maritime horses and driv- ers fhere the past season and in- vited others there. Mr. Bertrand also spoke to the same effect. It was their firsttrip to the Marl- tlmes and they both said they on- joyed it very much.

Discussions then took place on the racing situation and wore tak- on part in by Mr. Frank Acorn of the Charlottetown Driving Park. and other speakers were William Babineau, A. J. Kelly, Prowse MacArthur. Cecil Alexander spoke of the Saint John track and the good results this year and stated that they had 103 horses stabled there at present.

The matter of overage horses was discussed by Laurie O'Brien, Leigh D. Scrimgeour. Eddie Dal- ton. Ken MacDougall. Govang. Harry Downey. Ivan Tay- lor, Orin Jardlne. Wib Jardine. Ambrose Leger and Telex Leger and Cecil Alexander.

Hon. Henry Murphy gave a very interesting talk. referring par- ticularly to pri-mutuel betting. He was followed by another brilliant young lawyer. Cladius Leger.

The chairman said that through the efforts of Jim Harrison. dir- ector of the Publicity Department of the United States Trotting As- sociation. moving picture films of the 1954 Hambletonian Stake with a purse of 3102.000 for 3- year-old trotters. which was raced at Goshen, N. Y., and the 369,000 Little Brown Jug Stake for 3- year-old pacers which was raced at Delaware. Ohio. were now ready to be shown by the oper- ator. They were both a surprise and a delight and beyond all ex- pectations, in colors and remark- ably clear and on the large screen one could see each heat. anif, ac- companied by a very vivid des- cription of the race and every- thing connected with it. one could picture the horses and drivers at all parts of the track. sense the pleasure of the crowd and their excitement and in fact obtain an almost better conception than if one had been present in person.

The two films took about three- quarlers of an hour and many of those present said it was well worth the trip just to see those pictures. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Jim Har- ,rison and the Publicity Depart- ment of the United States Trotting Association for lending the film to Moncton.

"Bob is wintering for me my mare Sudden Mary 2.1111. that is in foal to N. D. Hal 2.05. This is the only horse I own at present. I wish to own a good trotter that can hold his own with the fast class trotters at the Maine fairs. That kind are hard to pick. how- ever. Bob Ryan has the largest stable at the Houlton race track. numbering a dozen head. with Colonel Dan 2.06-it looking like a colt. There are five stables win- tering here with N head.

We have had a lot of snow here this winter but the track has been kept plowed and the footing is good most of the time and the youngsters are taking their work in hopples.". . . Thanks. Cecil. and we are" sure the readers of this column will be glad to hear that you are so well and give such an interesting ac- count of. harness happenings in Maine.

In the law's and early lll90's Prince Edward Island supplied a great number of handsome carri- age horaos to other parts of the Illaritlmos and to the United States. A considerable revenue of

our farmers was obtained from

I this source and there were a num- iber of large breeding farms that produced ten or more foals an- nually. The largest of all was the Robert Fitzsimmons farm at Long River. It was in those days one of the show places of the province and Mr. Fitzsimmons was a man of great energy and determination. The top stallion at his farm was Dcan Swift. registered number 19796. He was sired by one of the original imported horses hers. Bush Messanger. sire of Messang- er Boy 2.37111. Kingblrd 2.39 and others. Dean Swift's dam was the famous Fairy Queen 2.32 on ice. She was by Farmer's Glory. sire of the dam of Princess 2.3. Whistler 2.32. and Biiou 2.2515. His second dam was Lady Gray by Royal Sporter by imported Ro- venge. and his daas was a thor- oughbred.

A great deal of the harness horse conversation was about Dean Swift and Island Chief and also about the imported horses that were being brought in, such as All Right, Hernando and later Parkside. which W. A. Brennan brought from California. The Dean Swift and Island Chief claa had a great following and in those days people took harness racing very seriously. There were it or more tracks on the Island that held meetings and a great many more that were just used for training purposes. Through the kindness of our friend. James Pendergalt. we have been handed the ads of Dean Swift and Island Chief that appeared in the Island papers 65 or more years ago. And now we quote Jim:
