Next week the racing scene shifts to North Sydney. where Charlie Ballard is putting on two days’ races in connection with the Cage Breton Exhibition. There will e three classes each day, Monday, Labor Day. September 2 and Wed- nesday, September 4. Charlie writes us that he has 45 horses headingh s way. and hopes to give the spectat- ors the best racing they have seen for many years.

Among the provincial horses that w11i be taking part there will be Jane Azoff 1.5912. Aaron L. 2.07M, Direct L 2.09%, Major Bowes 2.12M, bsclta Britten 2.12%. Mi he Kal- muck 2.12, Harvest Melody 2.10m. Squire Hanover 2.11. June Evans 2.11 and Bebe McEiwyn 2.08%.

Fort-four drivers signed a. peti- tion c iecting to the Barrier start.- ing gate at the Springfield. PIIIIUIS, meeting last week. Included among them was Dr. H. M. Parshall and 5e!) Pa] . Thev wanted the old scoring system and stated that 1t they could not make a satisfactoiy start in three tries then they would be WIIIIXIQ to vse the lvlcNainara Barrier. The Fair their request and 1n doing so t-io- lated a rule of the Grand Circuit- that the Barrier had to be used In all races cn Grand Circuit tre The track has been suspend-h no deubt the matter wil‘. bcstraiqn - ened cut later on at a meetins: of 319 United States Trotting Associa-

on.

The principal objection drivers have to the Barrier Is that when Ihev beat it they are fined $100 tn $250. and set down for periods cf one dav to two weeks. They stale that sometimes they either have ‘o

-b.=at the Barrier or take a chalice

of being run over by the back tier horses,

Ever since we can remember. we have heard some criticism of I‘..c method of starting harness hi!’ "s, and it seems no matter hoiv much the powers that be seal-ch for a. remedy the trouble is incurabc. it. could hardlv be otherwise ivlien one takes into account the varying tiis- ucsitions of horses and men. Some horses can be ea=ilv controlled and obev the will of the driver perfectly. Some drivers think 1t smart to buck the starter. and than the com- bination 0f a good driver and a had horse generallv means that the starter tries to help the gocll driv- er. The combination cf a Ind driv- er and a bad hcrsc makes it un- plcasiint for till concerned. Drivers would do well to remember that co- operation means better racing and better pleased audiences and they are what makes it DuS-sible for him to continue in his profession.
