_Q--.

A groom writes to The Horse- man and Fair World complaining that in ten years experience on the race tracks all the boosts and praise hav, been given to the own- er and driver but no one had any bouquet to hand out for the groom without whose care and attention no race horse can succeed. Here's his comp1alnt...."I have heard prplse and glory given to the driv- er and the driver speaks over the microphon ‘I am proud to win this race and I think I have a won- derful horse’, or ‘This is the great- est horse I ever drove. you’. Then the owner speaks-‘I cannot 11nd words to express my feelings in winning this race. I think I have a wonderful horse and driver. I thank you’. Then at some tracks the judge before the race speaks over the micro- phone-The owner and driver ot he horse winning this race will receive a 850.00 War Bond. Every week at different tracks there is praise and glory for the owner and driver but you never hear anything of the poor groom and we or, the backbone of the racing game.’ Well that does not apply to Charlottetown where on the final evening of each Old Home Week race meet grooms are- given recognition just the same as own- ers and drivers.

They are having a grand time at Hollywood track Inglewood. California. Among those present are Geor e Loomle, the oldest active tra not‘ in America today, who despite his E years is around early in the morning and seems to be enjoying himself just as well as the most youthful present. He has seven head for he Morris, Minnesota, sportsman, B. J. Ben- fleid.

Our readers will note that two of the horses which Mr. Loomls is repsring are by The Great G. K021i. which M3‘. Ben- fleld sold to Cyril L. Dauphlnee, Halifax, N. S., a few years ago. The Great G. had won a lot of

;thc Maine tracks use the E. J. weal. speed rating system in the classification of the horses. Instead of using The fastest time record of the horse this system determ- ines the horse's classification by adding the time of all the mile Cleats ram-d for the previous ses- son and dividing thé total timl. bv thc number of heats raced. Webb said that most horsemen have favored his plan. The only oppo- sition voi ed -at the meeting. was‘ hv Earle Avery of Wo took. on‘. N. B,, who claimed that purses of; “M $350 would take care of all the doflrlcnclel of Maine races. Don - E. Brooks, Augusta, claimed that .1 the Webb system was the only ‘M method of outlawing cheating.
