This is the first year harness racing was represented there and because of being the leading point winner on United States Trotting Asso- ciation tracks Joe O'Brien was chosen for that award. It was a great thrill seeing all iiie famous people —movie stars aiid sports- men. Bernard Kearney, Secretary of the Santa Anita track. was kind enough to introduce me to

nearly all of them. Bob Hope was‘

Mister of Ceremonies and very amusing. Before the banquet iome of the stars aiid sportsmen were interviewed over the Mutual Broadcasting System and wasn't I delighted to see that my friend from Prince Edward Island, Joe O'Brien, was interviewed 1:1 a group with Jack Dempsey, Leo Durocher and Esther Williams. It flu certainly a great thrill and one which I will never forget. Th: Biilmore Bowl is a wonderful sight. there were ovcr 1.000 at the banquet yet. everyone had i per- fect; view of the presentation of mwirds.

We deeply appreciate the 11111113,‘! kind expressions received by tclc-g graph, telephone, letters, curds and, uord of mouth from horsemen. friends and others who read thi- Maritime Racing Review and said. they liked it.

Our friend George D. Olaiid of Sydney aiid Coxhcath. Cape Bret- on, who is quite a harness horse fan and owner, gives us the sad information that. Douglas Lemoiii of North Sydney died last. fall. We regret we did not have this message for our review. Mi". Leni- |oin we knew quite well. He had at one tzcnc managed the North Sydney track and raced horses and was always on hand where there was a worth while meeting. Oiie of the best remembered horses he raced was The Ghost. that had previously been a top

performer on Maine race tracks. ‘ Mr. Olahd also paid a nice tribute to ’1‘om McKinley, whom he misses lvery much as he lived right a- ‘lloiigside of him and was a great ‘friend. Everybody will miss Torn as he was a favorite throughout the Maritimes wherever he call- ed.

l". D. Tweedie who gives us the news from hie section of N. B.. writes that Earle Avery has sold his farm and the new owner is expected to take possession early in April. Earle has 26 head in his barn. l4 of them belonging to C. T. Black of Troy, N. Y., who re- cently purchased a farm in Vir- ginia where Watchlm 2.06 and Calumet Fingo. 3. 2.04, will be in the stud. Earle has definitely de- cided to make training and rac- ing horses his career for which he i5 well fitted. being one of the leading drivers in the state of Maine and with wider oppor- tunitles and the right calibre of horses could easily be one of the leaders in the U. S. T. A.

Later on this month there will be a meetiiig of N. B. tracks and circuit. dates set for the coming year which is expected to provide the best racing for a long, long time. Bob Hamilton is busy with eight in his barn. The news that Indiana Boy 2.05 1-2 had been sold by Bob Brown to William Coker was premature. Bob is still the proud owner and is so well satisfied with the handsome wlggler that he is not likely to part with him. Henry Dewitlcs Hero Mine by volomlte is quite a classy prospect and the three- year-old colt Brighton is more than well liked. Henry has been 111p through Ontario and Quebec ‘and through the grapevine routc 1 we hear that he is likely to bring back another pacer.

Conduct Survey 0f

Conditions Affecting

llplaiid Game Birds

lsliiiitl Pliczisaiils Unlimited has

been conducting a survey of con- tlitoiis affecting the upland game lilrrls of tli:- lslanil since the heavy Silt/X.

Generally speaking. the birds are iloiiig wcll. I11 most sections of ‘Pr ncc and Queens Counties the snow is tliicvcii 11nd allows the \ll't‘f'f|S iiiitl small plzinis to be used ris ford. A good many bare spots appear on the ploughed fields and ntlicr exposed places and these prnvidr- iiiiich iicedcd grit.

Cnntliiloiis in Kings County are not so good. Tllc snow is deep and continuous and the Kings County birds are having tlifficulfy in l0- cating feed and grit. Gr‘t is very, very important -- especially to the Hungarian Partridge, When the Hun changes his dict to the wiri- tel‘ fectl of seeds and other dry foods, he must have grit. Wthout it he cannot exist. ‘

Officials of Island Pheasants Unlimited would ask the farmers 0i‘ King's Cotinly. and_tiie.r fam- ilies, to take a sirerial interest in the friendly Hun which frequents his fawn. Some barn sweeplngs placed in a convenient place, a bit of show cleared from some bare ground. smiti or grayei, will make thc rliffcroizce between llfo and tlezith for him.

Island Pheasants and the De- partment n! Agriculture are pre- pared to asset in this work wher- ever possible. It farmers need as- sistance ln providing feed and grlt- get in touch with the Depart- incnt of Agriculture or a. member of Island Pheasants without de- lar.

The Hungafan Partridge has become the Provincefi: greatest game bird. Teachers. farmers. travellers and all sportsmen are urged to report conditions as they observe them from time to time throughout the winter. Coopera- tion will pay great dividends.

Skeet Club Plan Active Season

Plans for the coming season were made last night at i largely attended meeting of the Char- lottetown skeet Club. Mr. Oliver Harper, the president, occupied the chair. The meeting was held in the City Hall.

The business of the meeting in- cluded discussion of i new field and several locations were sug- gested. Final action will be taken after the owners of the land in question are interviewed.

Plans weremade for an earlies- opening of the season than hid been the case in the past. The first shoot. will be held u soon ii the most of the snow thaws. Mim- bers expressed the hope the activi- ties might begin in March.

New arrangements were concerning non-members. ft was decided to allow them the first day's shooting without being re- qulred to join the club.

A field mirshali was appointed by the meeting.

New Glasgow Fighter Scores Split Decision

HALIFAX, Jan. 9 -tCP)-Percy Paris of New Glasgow, N.S.. scored l split decision victory over Benny Woods of Saint John, N.B., here tonight in the feature attraction on a four-fight card. Paris weighed 133. Woods 134 1-2.

Both judges cast their ballots for

Paris while referee Clyde McInnis voted for Woods.

Woods was easily out-cnanoeuvred

in the opening rounds of the 10- round bout but imade a late stand that brought the fans upright. . The New Glasgow Negro was too fast and active for Woods in the long run. He was in and out. shoot» ing both hands to the face and body. Though Woods wasn't hurt particularly, the was widely outscor- cd. There were no knockdowns though Woods staggered Paris with a whistling right to the jaw in a lato rcuiid.
