This crash reminds us of the bis one that occurred some years ago on the Grand Circuit which involved Lon MacDonald who nev- Qwwberl recovered from the in- l ll. W tor Cox, Ben White, Vic Meaning and half a dozen others. It was because of accident that Walter Cox retired from race driving. These accidents go to show that every driver should take the greatest care to look out for his fellow drivers and that when they are handling hoppled pacers they should be particularly careful to eep them well in hand, as a stumble means serious injuries m ghost; behind as well as the one in ron .

Local! we had a very distress- ing ecc dent on ‘Thursday when Driver McVeigh was thrown with resulting concussion of the brain. At this writing Driver McVeigh is slightly better but not out of dan- ger. Blly has been connected with race horses for ‘some flfty years or more and has always borne the reputation of a steady, conscient- ious man who gave his best efforts to his employers’ charges. His work with Shirley H, Temple has been the subject of much favor- able comment, she having won five races this season driven by him and also won the event on Thursday driven by another vete- ran driver, George Hooper. who has lost none of his ability to bring one home in front. The above was written yesterday (Fri- day) morning. In the afternoon our very old friend Billy passed away. He literally died in harness and his demise has occasioned many tributes being paid to his memory.

The Goodwill races which. have been a part of the Exhibition pro- gnarn from i941 on, attracted an ent list of some 86 horses, of whic 67 actually arrived on the grounds. It was difficult to clas- sify them to the satisfaction of owners, drivers and spectators but this was finally achieved with a minimum of friction duo largely to the cooperative spirit of the owners and drivers, of whom there are none better anywhere.

And there was poignant drama interjecicd into the nmram dw- iug the afternoon when the crowd in attendance stood with bared heads in a minutes lilence as a tribute to William McVeigh, vet» eran relnsman who passed away at the Charlottetown Hospital yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries sustained while driv- ing on Thursday afternoon. Many of those in the crowd remembered a younger Bill McVeigh in his hey-day and their sorrow at his passing was well evidenced by the expression on their faces. The meet Just concluded was the last major meeting of the see.- son on Island tracks and the sea- son passed into history on the same sensational note as it start- ed three months ago.

Halfway up the back-' stretch Scotty Budlong driven by‘ Teddy Weir took out to get up on even terms at the seven-eighth pole followed by Previous and‘ Wait N’See, the latter coming; from far back. It was a green. spectacle as the four horses thun- dered down the stretch with very little separating them, but Diana had too much left, whining by half a length from Scotty Budlong. with Previous third, Wait N‘See fourth, Scotty McKane fifth and Marjorie Budlong sixth.
