Only two were to be sent officially representing the Prov- ince from funds provided by the Chief Scout for Canada. 10rd Will- ingdon. but our Jamboree Commit- tee arranged for funds for a third so that three places were to be filled. All was excitement on the evening of May 27. when a. banquet was held in St. Peter's Hall at which the names of the winners were to be announced.

But who were to be the two others? I wanted badly to go and was told I had a good chance, being a first class Scout. but on the afternoon of the banquet another Scout told me I was out of it. This made me quite despondent for a time. and it Was not until the Provincial Secret- lfy read out my name. sandwiched between Dick Flllltefs and Bob Beer's as the successful Scouts that I was relieved of my anxiety.

The three of us had a busy. hectic time between the date of the banquet and our setting out for Ottawa for our week in camp preparatory- to sailing. Our real "guide, philosopher and friend" was Mr. Parent. He thought of everything. and seemed to know everything, and we were only sorry he was not going tdiac- company us to the Jamboree as one of the officials.

Mclnnls has nothing to regret when he came through a row with "Lick" Donovan; because "Lick" has gone all alone to Glace Bay to compete in a Maritime Championship Tournament, and fought in the finals and made the champions of his own weight step fast and hard for an extra round before getting the decis- ion over him. Although “Lick" show- .ed lots of speed and gameness last evening at the Indoor Circus. he still ‘needs more training ‘and workouts. However, all the spectators were well pleased with the performance of both boxers, and it was rumored through the building that those boys ought t0 be roped into the ring once more.

Matinee Races

i The Matinee Races staged bY horsemen of Charlottetown and vic- inity were the lure which drew other horsemen from such wide apart places as Souris and Alberton. Inter- vening towns and villages and coun- try places were also well represented in the gathering which witnessed the curtain closing program of the season. The weather promised to be very good and was up till half past three, then changed its mind and a slight drizzle of rain arrived just at the conclusion of the second heat of th. fourth class. The track had been put in almost first class condition, al- most, because it required a little sun shine to dry up the damp spots and make it fast. As it was, it was a pretty nice piece of dirt and cars- taker Arbing who had workedso strenuously to place it in good con- dition certainly deserved the praise he received. In this connection a very pleasing presentaticu was» made to him by Starter Ed, Acorn on behalf of the horsemen who have been usinB the track during the summer.

In a few well chosen words Mr. Acorn-told the'audlence of the good work done by Mr. Arbing and the appreciation of the horsemen, as shown by their nice cash gift. Mr. Arbing was very much surprised and

The first half of this mile was iii 1.17, then they turned on the gas and stepped the final half in 1.04%, with the last quarter in .311‘. seconds.

Class A Trot. This had Captain Jackson, owned byMr. C. I-I. Chand- ler and Peter Wilton, Jr., owned by Colonel MacKlnnon, as starters. In the first heat they got away on the second score with Jackson at the pole. Pater grabbed it before the quarter was reached and maintained the lead throughout the mile. Coming. down the home stretch at the final, Jack- sor. put on a great burst of speed and it looked as though he would get Peter Wilton, but the latter finished a neck to the 800d.

In the second heat Peter with the pole staved off Jackson and kept a comfortable lead all through, a1- Fliugh Jackson finished very fast he could not get nearer than his sulky wheel.

A special race was a. mixed class with a tiotter ‘and a pacer. Briar Mac driven by Doug MacLeod being the trotter, and Major S. owned by Har- old Stead and driven by Wellington McNeill the pacer. This was a good race. In the first heat Major S. held the lead until entering the home stretch than Briar Mac with a pretty burst of speed gradually drew up on him and won by half a length, In the second heat Briar Mac had the pole going away but Major S. captured it before they got to the quarter and held it until entering the home stretch, when Brier Mac with another of his brushes outfooted the Major to the wire.

Class B. Trot and Pace. This had four starters and resolved itself into a. good race between Baby Sett and Dapper Don. the two pacers not hav- ing sufficient speed to keep up with the trotters.

- First Heat. Dapper Dori had the pole and went away fast. At the half hewae leading by three lengths with Baby Sett trotting to him. Drawing into the home stretch at the final Baby Sett and Dapper Don were on even terms, but in the last hundred yards Baby Sett outiocted Dapper. winning by almost a length. Lacopla Belle third and Mack Dillon fourth.

' Second heat. Dapper Don went away fast and took the pola from Baby Sett. He maintained the lead to the three-quarter pole when Baby Sett came up on even terms and a dandy race resulted from there home. In the last hundred yards Baby Sett drew away and won again by a length. Dapper Don was in good shape and trotted a nice race for driver l-Iennessey, but Baby Sett ls a real little trotter, never makes a. mis-

take and shows that she will be

classy next year. She is owned and wasdriven by Mr. P. J. Conroy.

The first football game of the sea- son takes place Saturday afternoon between the old rival teams, Abe- gwelts and St. Dunstarfs. There is considerable enthusiasm over foot- ball this year and it is hoped that there will be a. large crowd out to witness the opening tilt. The Abbies have some very good material which a little practice would greatly im- prove. The squad is asked to turn out to-day at the C. A. A. grounds at 5 o'clock for a good, strenuous prac- tice. There are several star players who have not yet turned out. and these are especially requested to be present.
