Brooklyn f In“ Vile-IL Series

Hard Road Bill, a very likely young pacer purchased by Bob Brown at the Harrisburg sale last fall. has been sold to Sydney Stead. Brackley. Bill is out of zhe same dam as the three-year- aid Joe Dol-llin that is racing so well on the Grand Circuit for Sep Palin.

Dr. George Bishop on a well rarned holiday to the Grand Cir-

cuit meeting at Lexington, has very thoughtfully sent us this on a post card -—- “Seeing some great

racing here. Rodney trotted in 1.57. Demon Hanover equalled his record of 2.00 1-5 today. Riley Hanover won the Free For All Pace in l. 9 l-5. Everybody seems to b0 h in Lexington."

Worrell Lewis who has raced the P. J. Cadegan horses here since the opening of the season, has re- turned home to Cape Breton. The aorses have been sent to Ken- lington where they are stabled in George Brookins’ barn and will be under the care of Clarence Schu- man this winter.

The annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Club will be held in the City Building next Tuesday even- ing, October 1lth at eight o'clock. Everyone who is interested in the Futurities should plan to be pre- sent and hear the report of hard- working secretary W. G. Gillespie. Referring to the colt stakes, it certainly was an innovation rac- ing youngsters behind the start- u-lg gate and under the lights, but we think all will agree that they went away like veterans and "a great deal of credit ls due to starter Russell Abbott and Bill NlacAusland for their good judg- ment with the gate. There was a good deal of glamour to that night racing meet which made up large- ly for the disappointment caused by postponements due to bad weather conditions. Anyhow, it was the first time that colt futur- ities were raced under the lights and with the starting gate in the Dominion of Canada.

S. Thane Belyea writes from Fredericton, N.B., that the Fred- ericton Exhibition Company Ltd. will resurface their track this fall. lf they do we can expect to see some lightning miles there next year. Fredericton when just right is without doubt the fastest track in the Maritimes and prob- biy the fastest track in Canada. hane continues his letter with - "l just learned yesterday that Robert Stevenson and Sons have sold their pacer Lee C.

President J. H. Kennedy and Director E. Frank Acorn return- ed early this week from a six days visit to the United States. Their auto registered over 2,400 miles an average of 400 miles a day, although they took in a lot of territory but both came back looking fit as fiddles. Their first stop was at Bay State Raceway, Foxboro. where they had a chat with sev- eral of the boys from Spud Island, and saw the manager, ex-wrestler Paul Bowser, and John Frances, superintendent of the mutual ma- chines. Both welcomed them warm- ly. showed then around the plant, gave them all the informa- tion they asked for and invited them to spend several evening; watching the races. They did spend one evening there and it was quite an enjoyable one.

The seating accommodation at Foxboro is not as great as at the Exhibition plant here and the stands are quite far away from the track, which makes it more difficult to recognize the horses and drivers. The racing was con- ducted very strictly. the horses all being kept in paddock, harnessed and ready so that when called out no time was lost getting them to the track. The horses for the first dash would be in the num- ber one paddock, similarly those for the dashes up to number eight. When the dash is over the horses parade to the judges stand. n If there are no complaints of in- tcrference all are dismissed except the winner which with driver is introduced to the audience. The first five horses are taken in charge by the state police- and saliva tests are taken of first and second horses and possibly others. Thirteen minutes from the com- pletion of a dash another one ls on the way. The stables for the horses are almost half a mile from the track and the plant is so large it takes considerable effort to get around and see horses or driv- ers one would be interested in. This year's meeting has attracted upwards of 200 trotters and pacers so that the stables are filled to capacity.

Annual Hockey All-Siar Game g Al Toronto Monday“

TORONTO, Oct. 7—(CP)-—Hoc- key’; 1948-49 dream team heads into Toronto this week-end for the third annual All-Star‘ game with the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs.

Coach Tommy Ivan of Detroit Red Wings, National Hockey Lea- gue champions last season and runners-up to the Leafs for the Stanley Cup, will guide the All- Stars and an extra six players he named for the annual contest for the league's players’ pension fund. In the two previous games, the All-Stars came out in front. Two years ago they came from behind ' tobeat the Leafs 4-3 in Toronto. Last year the game was played in Chicago and the All-Stars came up with a 3-1 victory.

Lest there be any misunder- standing, the annual all-star game is not between the All-Stars and the Maple Leafs. It's between the All-Stars, selec‘ " each season by N.l-l.l.. coaches and mnnagers,.nnd the previous year's Stanley Cup champions. It hapens that but! have ‘won the Stanley Cup ever since the annual contest was in- augurated.
