A very good friend of Down the lurk Stretch, LAC J. A. Sweeney, ,0. A. E. Toronto. writes ask- m f” copies of the Guardian with olrl l-lonlc Week race write-ups, and plies-PI will certainly enjoy an lccount of your races. I llad the pleasure of seeing the four days last August." Thanks, frfend, and re are confident that you will be leased w.th Pat. Power's covering lithe iour days race meet.

The old bell in the starterb stand which had faithfully rung down lilousnrnls of trotters and paoers in iisorvr filly years service, failed to bu about llnlf way through the 0d Home Wet-k race program on Wednesday. Time had caught up with its interior mechanism and the tlangor became wsassoclated with lhebeil. Tlllls oven inanimate things org-affected by the passing years.

As this is written Old Home Week laces arc a thing of the past. but mlny of the heats raced will linger long in our recollection for years to ccrnc. Extremely close finishes mode races exceptionally interest- llii. Each day's program was run off llllmntly by the excellent offio'als.

‘ii e first day's racing llsisted of the Thrve Year Old Futurity 'I'rot. ‘lllree Ycnr Old Futurity Pace, 2.12 ‘hot and Pace and 2.22 Trot. The ‘illrce Ycnr O'.d Futurity Trot was first called and everybody expected li i0 be n race betweel Dorothy Abbelic and Lusty's First, and very few, except possibly driver Willard l(e'.ly' and owner C.

The 2.12 Trot and Pace was one of_ those real races that you will never forget, something that ghould not be witnessed by those who have weak hearts. if interested in the contestants. Before the race there was talk of barring All Grat. tan 2.0’! because he had won three fl-ae-for-alls and it did not seem that the competition could be pqt. ent enough to get to him, but horsemen arerahyi-lllilg but faint- hearted and the opposition dig not come from them but friends of those Yliiliik- The judgment of those who entered proved that there is noth. l"! lure about horse racing, for Al] Grattan although pacing a tremen- dous race was beaten out fairly and squarely lvy Aaron L.

In the first heat the horses got away to a good start but All 0mg. tan made a break on the first turn and lost considerable ground, the 41th"! Passing away with Dudey Patch in the lead. All Grattan re- covering from the break came very fast and caught up with the lead- ers. Joe Direct was out, ahead as they hit ilte home stretch. Aaron L. a bit to the rear, All Grattan practically on even forms and the others bunched. It was a real race to the wire. Aaron L. just beating out Joe Direct irl a. red hot finish. while Signal Senator and Sully also finished ahead of All Grattan. It was one o! those heats that are unpredictable and the reception Joe O'Brien got from the great audience when he drove Aaron L. to the wire was tremendous.

In the second heat All Grattan 809 8W8)’ to a flying start and made every post a winning one. although Aaron L. was within half a length of him at the finish. All Grattan took a new record of 2.06 1-4 and came within three-quarters of a second of the track record (2.05- l-2). Many thought that had con- ditions been more favorable he would have cracked llce record.

- Aaron L. must have paced in equal-

ly fast time, a second below his record. In the third heat Aaron L. won again in a spectacular finish, All Grattan second, Dudey Patch, a. great favorite with the fans and well driven by Jack MacMilian, third, Joe Direct fourth, and Sig nal Senator fifth, sully was drawn.

The 2.22 Trot went as we figur- ed, to Little Fox, who tolls a new record of 2.14 1-2. Surprising to many friends and pleasulg too, was the performance of Dlrkey Kni- lnuck, who was 2-2-1 and took n. new record of 2.15 1-2. Space does not permit us to give as fully a summary of the four days racing u we would like, so we will have to morten up on dSSCTDIlJIlI.

The second days racing consisted of the 2.22 Pace, the 2.18 ‘Trot and the 2.16 Trot and Pace. ‘facing was good except that in the 2.22 Pace Grattan Queen had too much class for the others. Very grclifyllla’ i0 thousands of friends throughout the Maritirnes was the vii-filly 07 the Halifax mare Graztan Queen and the Halifax trotter Watchim. Both are owned by ivat prince 0i sportsmen. Alderman Frank Adams a man who has consisten"v stayiifl by the game despite the succession of disappointments that wruld have bowled over others of less strength of will. Prank frl the hours of gloom and sadness when his arable met with reverses due to lameness and other causes, wore a cheery amilfl

lilzlltmaro first and Lusty’; First mnd congratulated the winners so

that his wins are not a hi: envied by his brother horsemen. Consid- erable credit must be glvflfl t0 PIO- lessor s. A. Rockford. who trained Grsttan Queen and Watohim. and we are glad to pay a tribute to him also, and hope that fl-li‘ iYlQIiil Frank will continue his horses un- der the Professor's care.

Grattan queen was l-i-l and lowered her record from 2.2a 1-4 to 2.12 1-4. ‘That's Iolfig some Y0" will admit.

The sec. ond heat Millie Kalmuck trotted sensationaiiy, outfooting San '1‘ )n 1n the stretch, who was also beacon out at the wire by Albert E. Grat- tan 1n a great finish-and a new record for Millie, 2.09 1-2. The third lzeat was a terrific finish, Mil- lie Kalmuck just nosing out Major BOWQs and San Ton at the wire, with Albert E. Grattan a very close fourth-in fact a blanket would ai- most cover the first four horses,- Martindcil a close fifth.

Horsemen may not be credited with great business sense-that is they don't sharpen their pencils and figure expenses very closely, because if they did they would not stay long in the harness racing game. However, there are compen- sations such m the goodfeilowship ‘which goes with association with . good sports and the friendly feeling ‘ that pervades all. even to the hum. blest individual. This was wsil ex- emplified the past week when that well known ant‘qu',',;'l race track habituce. James "Stosk" Gillis. was outfitted from head to foot and even his face massaged and tinted. Resplendent in his new habillments he was introduced to a full grand

well chosen words and received loud acclaim. That same evening horse- men took up a collection for the very popular driver 0ii‘e Rudder- ham. more than 3300. being sub- scribed which was forwarded to him, and in addition an offer was made by an err-horseman of this province to give him a trip to the west where the higher altitude and clear air would benefit 11's trouble. That's the stuff. boys, that's the heart appeal that makes us broth- ers all.

Our space is getting short so we can only give a brief summing up of Thursday's races been so well reported by Pat Pow- er in the Guardian. The Four Year Old Iuturity was expected to go to the trotter George Mac, but an injury received a few weeks prior had its effect and George Mac was not up to early season form. Mar- garet Jean, who had been kept un- der cover all season, stepped right out in the role of winner and took a new record of 2.16. May we say that driver George Callbeok, who also trained her, made an excellent Job in mannering and racing this dainty miss.

The 2.10 Trot and Pace 11M! a large entry list so was split into two divisions. Division A furnish"! the best racing with see-sawing of positions all through. Little Bonnie Scott that had been figuring more or less indifferently in the sum- lmsrfee all season, put on a couple of real aPzling finishes that. nipped victory just at the wire and brought the thousands on the grand stand to maddeningly cheering 01100111189- lnent. Peter at Court, well driven by Johnny Conroy, came back to his last season's record and proved the runner up. His winning heat in the second mile was in 2.12 l-2 —the fastest. The trotter l-lal Brit- ton, thought by many to be the winner, could not connect. His sum- msry was 4-3-4. and the Quebec pacer Billy tee was 5-5-5.

The starters job was a tout" assignment, wth one of the most trying fields we have ever seen brought together. In an endeavor to play fair to all he had to score tin; horses far more than the aver- age one would expect.
