B. Thane Belyea Writes from Fredericton that theii‘ three days racing, the 9th-l0th-lltll of Sep- tember was a success. As is well known there had been no racing there since 1939 and interest was not expected to be as keen as it turned out to be. Forty-five horses book the word. in nine events. The starting was done by Koo McDougall. and Lt-Goneral H. N. Ganong of St. Stephen was pre- niding Judge. The only driver on ill track that took part in the lust meeting was Billy Keycs. who had in the past driven so many fist. miles over the oval. Among ‘to prominent horsemen present In George W.

lhe principal racing event of In week was Charlie Willis’ Uovehcad meet, which followed Goodwill races and was two aft- ernoons sport eagerly looked for- ward to. Charlie must have spent in almost sleepless night prior to Wednesday as the rain poured horn the heavens. but a bright lun greeted the early morning and everything was perfect. when the horses lined up for the word Go. The four races were well con- tested although three of them were won via the straight hcat route. The accident in the third heat. of the 2.24 Stake in which Miss Knox. Talugi. C. Albert Bud- long and Shirley H. Temple were involved, caused a lot of appre-

- hension. C. Albert Budlollzs llriv-

er. Lorne Kelly. struck his head against the fence when tllroivn off Ind was unconscious for a time. The other drivers escaped injury but sulkies were smashed. i- + ‘I’ +

The N0. 3 Classified was won by Junior l-Ial, a rcccnt import from Maine. He marched right 0H to the front and was never headed in any heat. He ls owned Ind was driven by Joc Hcnlles- eey. In winning he reduced his record from 2.18 to 2.15. Ncllic Worthy (Buell) was 3-2-2; Billy Gonn (Schumall) 2-7-7; eight other starters. The 2.24 $1,000.00 Stake was won by Talugi, owned by the St. Oroix Stables, Calais. Ho, and driven by Earle Scmple. with 1-1. Prince Budlont: (Cud- more) 2-8-1; June Morning (Mac- Donald) 3-2-2; flvo other starters. but time 2.11 2-5-a new record for Talugi. The Junior Free For All was one o} the best races seen

4— this season. Everyone was excited when the fast time was announced and the performance of Time Counts places him at the top of the list of pacers of the Maritimes for this season. His three heats constitute the best trio and his middle heat in 2.06 3-5 the fastest heat paced in the Maritimes in 1947- supolanuns the 2.00 4-5 made by him at Old Home Week —als0 a new record for Time Counts. It does not, however, set a new track record for Covehead, it being 2.06% made by Chuck Worthy last September. Time Counts is owned by P. J. Cadegan, Glace Bay. and was driven by Worrell Lewis. Scott Spencer (J. Campbell) was 3-2-2; Kgvqlg (Hennessey) 2-3-rc; Cyclonic (Vie. kers) 6-4-3; Wilkln (McAldufl) 5-5-4; The Walnut Abbe 4-6-dr.; time; 2.07 1-5; 2.06 3-5; 2.0a z-s.

The 2.19 Trot was a straight heat victory for Eva Worthy, own. ed by Dr. Preston McIntyre and driven by Leo Collins. In ‘the writer's opinion she showed the bcst form of the season and look- ed capable of trotting considerably faster. Nell Kalmuck (W. Kelly) was 2-2-2; Billy Kalmuck (LI K0111’) 3-3-4: three other starters. best time 2.12 2-5-a new record for Eva.

Thursdays Racest-The great number of entries made it. neces- sary to have five classes, but these were run off quickly and everyone got away at six o'clock. The No. 3 Classified was won by Milton Budlong, owned by J. D. Mehan, St. Stephen, and driven by Roy Barnett, with 4-1-1; Aub- rey Budlong. owned by Fred M. Lahey, Dartmouth, and driven by Angie Allen. was 1-2-2: Previous (J. Conroy) 2-3-3; four other starters. best time 2.13 2-5. The No. 1 Classified saw the return of an outstanding trotter, Lee Brewer 2.06%, that was at one time joint holder of the Charlottetown track trotting record of 2.07%. after- wards lowered to 2.07% by Wat- chim. Lee Brewer was perfect mannered and seemed to have something left each heat. His 2.10 3-5 in the second heat was just three-fifths of a. second slow- cr than the track record made by Christie Budlong in i945. ever. his three heats constitute the fastest trio trotted in the Mar- itimes this season. Lee Brewer is owned by Don Cadegan. Glace Bay, and was splendidly driven by Worrell Lewis. We also ad- mired the performance of Scotty Budlong, capably handled by Teddy Weir, who carried the fight to Lee Brewer each heat ex- cept the flrst in which Vella La Vella. Heber Sweeney's smooth pacer, was second. Good pacers such as Free Trade, winner at Goodwill meet, Jerry Lee Volo, Sandy D., the trotter Sunnymedc and Just Betty, made up a class that it would be hard to dupli- cate.

The Free For All proved to be the biggest upset of the season. Carl Frisco 2.02%, that had taken his record at Indianapolis last fall in a terrific duel of speed with Indian Land 2.00%. had not fulfilled expectations up until this event. At. no time during the sea- son had he shown such class. His first heat was in 2.09, his second in 2.08 2-5, with Judd, driven by Sam Walker, Jr., forcing the issue. Due to lameness he could not come out for the third heat and owner P. J. Cadegan received per- mission from the Judges to retire him. He was driven by Worreli Lewis. The third heat was a good race, particularly the closing stan- za, between Judd and Chuck Worthy, Judd winning by a length. in 2.10. Chuck Worthy second, Gay Law third, Harry Direct fourth, Royal-at-Law fifth.

In the No. 2 Classified the old warrior O. U. Voio, owned and driven by Harold Stead. came through with a. surprising burs‘. of speed the last quarter of the second heat, heading Josedale Clip- per (J. Conroy) who had won the first heat. O. U.

Cream of the school athletes. In sh-ict training for the pest months converge on the Memorial Athletic Field at Victoria Park tn- day for the Island Interscholastic track and field meet and befclre the final event is run off, fans in attendance are expected to witness keen competition and outstanding performances.

. - e

The event marking the dedica- tion and official opening of the athletic field is also expected to mark the return on a large scale of track and field to the province. Decadent ever since the old Abeg- welt Grounds passed out. of exist- ence, hard-working efforts have been put fort-h this year by the De- partment of Physical Fitness through its director Bill Reid ta again interest the youngsters and the response to the efforts has been very encouraging.

I I I

Today representations from a large number of Island schools will be taking part In the program and although no record breaking per- formances are expected there is no doubt that today's program will lead to bgger and better events of Ilhis kind in the near future.

I I I

And the boys will be performing on an athletic centre that next year will compare favorably with any in Eastern Canada. Today with clubhouses in place and a new grandstand erected, it is beginning to shape up in the manner Ulla? Director Reid visualized for i twelve months ago.

To get it into its present condi- tion has entailed a considerable amount of work and worry. Unable to secure necessary equipment th- work was held up for a. long while

As evenly matched as could be found the players have been tuming‘ in a brand of ball that has been pryseworthy and with so much at. stake for both teams today, they are expected to outdo all their previous efforts. I I I

It is likely that Abbfes will once again face Bernard. great right handed moundsman who bllfngd the locals back here e week ago with a gilt-edge performance and l! that is the case, there will be plenty of worry 1n store for the local willow wielderl.

Lloyd Latter ls Winner Of Ten-Mile Bike Race Last Night

Young Lloyd Lal-ter. displaying exceptional condition and stamina last night pedalled his way to victory in Bill's Bike Repair shop's ten mile road race when he head- ed a field of three other starters across the finish line negotiating the grind in 35 minutes and 40 seconds, exceptional time for the cold weather and stiff wind the riders faced in the first half of the rare. _

Bunchcd closely to Saint Dun- stan's University the slim, bio-ido- headed winner started to opcn up a le'o:1 on the torturous Malpeque Road Hills and as they neared the turn at Highfield and straighten- ed away towards the City had huilt up a 300 yard lead with Jimmy Cameron. Alf Lartar and Solomon Tweel the other entrants still riding together.

Coming past Gates‘ Mills thelead- or had increased his margin slight- ly and as he hit the track at the New Memorial Athletic field still had 350 yards to spare increasing his margin slightly in the three laps he had to go at the finish.

The remaining three were stilt battling it out hammer a d tongs and still close together rght to the Sanatorium. Here Cameron started to inch ahead and as he hit the track had opened up s. 300 yard lead that was never threatened. Tweel and Alf barter hit the final test nt the Park practically together wlthi Tv/eei holding his slight advantage to beat out the fourth place finisher by 2s yards.

Although the entry list was smell the fans that lined the route and gathered at the Park saw e thrilling race of it all the way. Atno time was the outcome a certain thing as the riders show- ed gameness and courage as they kept. up their fast clip right to the finish line.

Likewise many a hunting dog will wcari-ly pick the burrs out of his coat and then whine in his sleep over the birds he couldn't find.

I -, I I

This does not mean that the birds are scarce. I am not going to make a definite statement that the Hungaflan partridge arc as plentiful as they were in the perk year about l0 years ago. . but they are not far short of it. l.f the com- ing winter duplicates the one just passed, gunners may be prcparcd to see Hurts in the 1948 season in numbers never before drcamrd of.

Tllcn again there are days when scent- Ing conditions are bad and the bcst of hunting dogs find tho going tough unless they happen to blun- der c-n to a covey or two at the start of the hunt. Sometimes the opposite occurs: One will fall over Huns at almost every turn. 1t seems that All one has to do is to step into a Zft-ncre field and the only covey in it will flush frrml a distance of a few fort.

I had a long ohat with MrKull. professional dog tralncr, from In- diann. U.S.A. 0n Monday last. He was all set to leave the province the following morning n5 he had to attend the Michigan Field Trials the last. of this month. Ho brought about thirty Setters and Pointers with him to train on Hun: for prominent sportsmen in tho States. In addition he lralngd A number of Setters for local sports- men. Mr. Klill intends to return to ‘he Drovincc to be on hand for the Dog Derby and Field Trials sohcrl- uled to be held the latter part, of October. He plans c-n entering n number of top-notch American Setters and Pointers as well as Brittany Spanfels. l understand another noted dog trainer who trains in Michlgamalso plans on attending the Trials.
