A visitor yesterday whom we were delqhted to see was Raoul Potvin Jr., who is taking an Air.Gunner's course at an Leland airport. He is in love with the province and the first place he made for on arriving at Charlottetown was the track to see how it compared with the des- cri tion which his Dad gave him. Fronds will remember Raoul Pot- vin when he drove Lady Grattan 2.00 l-4, Prince Rupert 2.04 1-4 and other horses here over twenty years ago. Raoul Junior, says his Dad has been active every year since and had a good season with

the New Glasgow Driving Club. It is quite probable that Hal B. Direct 2.04 1-2 will, if inter-club races are held this season between Char. iottetown and Dartmouth, prove a star pacer over the ice, but in Hal Britton 2.09 3-4 the local club has a trotter that will be hard to head. ._o__
