IIN UP-TO-DATE PLIINT

Here's a glimpse at Summer-side's up-to-date plant. This past season dir- ectors of the Prince County Horsemen’s Club did an excellent job of putting the plant in tip top shape. More improvements are planned for 1964.

Summerside promoters make many '63 changes

Summerside Raceway, operat- ed by The Prince County Horse- men's Club, had a banner sea- oon_ in 1953. ' .

Before the racing meets got underway. these energetic opera- tors ‘went to town‘ on fixing up the prc-mi~es. They dad a ter-

flw ('Illl). Others plavini’ a pro- minent role are Andrew Perry, WE. Jenkins. Leo Wood. Earl Cannon. Reg Sonier and Eric Johnstone.

Racing was conducted ll'()lll June 22 to October 14, in all a

ed a total of $31,393.50. The R mu-is were also the greatest number of performances staged at this western oval. Sumnierside proudly boasts of its all—weather track and well it ahould. Because of these ex- cellent track conditions not one postponement c a m e about. Everything went ahead as sched-

Jlled.

The pronioters are making big plans for l9t'»4 when they expect. to eclipse anything yet done at Cris popular track.
