..What was admittedly one of the best ice races of the season was witnessed on Feb. 27th at a meet of the Cape Traverse Sporting Club. A number oi’ Sumniersitle horsemen with their speed were in attendance which added material- ly to the day's sport. The four entries in Class A were all horses with track experience and every heat was a drive from start to finish. Class B. and C. were made up of practically green horses and werahotly contested. At the next meet, the date of which can- not be definitely stated, arrange- ments will be made for a colt race, some beatitiful specimens of the "Lacopia" and “British Soldier" type being much in evidence in this locality.

TUESDAY
The St. John Telegraph-Journal in its report of the Ahegweit-Sussex game played here Friday night last in part has this “inforination" to give Maritime hockey fans, suppli- ed them by members of the Sussex hockey team. "P. E. island are ask- ed to read the following “small town" propaganda and form their oivn opinions."
hleinhers of the Sussex team were communicated wiih yesterday iii connection with the reported tic- tion of the Abbies and the people of Charlottetown during the cilant- pionship game there. All were very reticent, _niid it was only with the greatest difficulty that one could be persuaded to admit that Captain Harold Radcliffe was confined to his home suffering front what the
en ribs as o result of the genie.
Frank Hunter. the 18-year-old re cruit, also suffered from nu attack on him by the spectators‘. Eggs, some of them not very fresh. were thrown by the crowd at the Sussex goalie as tokens of the appreciation of the Charlottetown fans of his‘ good work. All of these things, and as one expressed it all they did not throw at us was the rink, and they couldn't lift that-
Assault on Hunter.
The assault on Hunter was main- ly from those stationed at vantage points along the boards, who slap- ped his face when on several oc- casioiis he played the boards in n rush into the Abbies" territory. The attack, as one of the teamdescrlb- ed it, was very poorly staged, for he said if he had wanted to start any- liing at a gninc he could have much better results in a very few min- lites than had the Charlottetown fans all during the evening.
That Charlottetown had a great deal to learn about hockey yet, es- pecially that it takes more than hands and feet to play the gnnie, was the general feeling. The dirty work of the spectators was not the work of the whole crowd. although the feelings of the crowd ran pretty high at times. it was stated. The Sussex boys were not kicking about the treatment they received, but felt that it might have been u little more gentle.
NO: E-Tlie above is only typical of the Sussex players, who on near- ly every occasion on returning home run and tell their mothers or some curious newspaper titan, the treatment they received at the "hands and feet“ of the opposing team-Abegweils! how could ‘you? You nasty boys, treat the “light”? Sussex team so roughly, especially when they received more penalties than you and furthermore, shame |on you to go and break poor Har- old's "slats," notwithstanding the fact that you yourselves have been getting your ribs damaged till wint- er. What is a rib or two in a citaiu- pionsliip game of hockeyii-"No more than a light cold, and any- way a powder puff, if thrown fast enough and lands right. is liable to break a rib." ln referent-e to the treatment handed out hy the fans including the "stale lieu-fruit." the Telegraph- Jotirnal had better ask Mr. Jack Brown about this in order to he correctly and truthfully informed. The writer had a vantage poiitt at the above mentioned game anti can truthfully state that nothing of the kind occurred. and as fnr as throw ing the arena at the "mlikiueti," Alex. McLeod gave the fans to tin- dorstand before the game, that the first tiian caught attempting such a thing he would use the thrower its bad as the Abbies banded the claiiii- ants for Maritime hockey honors(?) And lust but not least, when they say that the Ahbies hnve a great deal to learn about hockey yet-for once they are right. be- cause how could the "rough" Abe- gu-elts know anything about hockey win-n the “dairy itinltls” know it nil.
Anti before closing let its give Sussex some friendly atlvice.—— When they play the Nova Srotia champions for the title they had better leave their powder puffs nnd wrist watches at home-Sport Ed
