'Stout, Calumet Dido.

noun rue' anon srsrrcu

o Second of a series of popular night races will commence this evening at nine o'clock at “Can- ada's Finest Track." The No. 1 Trot, a one mile dash, will have eight slow class trotters starting. Among them is Feather Duster, a four-year-old by Abbe Worthy, dam, Dude Potempkin 2.07 1- . Another is Buster C., that performed so well an the pace last year but has been turned back to the trot which was his gait as a two-year-old. Guy Aubrey, that We mentioned as a 13- year-old that showed a mile in 2.18 a week ago is still another. In ad- dizion there are Miss Playfair, Joan Dale, Just Bill, Winnie‘s Last and Delaware. There wlll be two other dashes and three two-heat affairs, so an evening quite as good as what was voted the best on record last Saturday night, may be expected.

By the way new records for the irack were set up then by Lusticia fl the nlne-slxteenths of a mile trot when she won in 1.12, and by Carl Frisco in the nine-sixteenths of a mile pace when he won in 1.10 2-5. The night racing mile record is held by My Partner, driven by Joe O'Brien, August 15th, 1947——2.09 1-5. Tonight the Godfrey Photo Finish will be in operation. Its setting up has involved a lot of work and ex- pense. Intense brilliance is given by powerful lights strung across the track from the judges stand, Mr. Godfrey told the writer that it might be necessary for horses to be equipped with shadow rolls when training during the day as the lights will cause a shadow to be cast on the track.

Truro Raceway will open tonight under the lights with new man- agement headed by President Fred Lahey of Dartmouth. An estimated $60 to S70 thousand has been spent in new equipment and the General Electric Company claims it is the ‘best lighted track in eastern Can- ado. Some fifty horses will take part in a program of dashes that is expected to draw a big atten- dance of fans not only from Truro but from Halifax to New Glasgow- Our best wishes for success go to Messrs. Lahey and associates in their new venture.

Upwards of 103 horses are stab- led at the Charlottetown track with ‘ten others not stabled there using its facilities. The Oland stable with The Wllkin 2.08, Jerry Lee Volo 2.10 and Miss Alice Guy 2.13 are most recent arrivals that appear to be in fine condition and many hi0‘? T9‘ marks were made about them as ‘they worked on the track. Jerry Lee Volo and Wilkin are owned by Richard Jabalee and Miss Alice Guy by George Oland.

manipulator-ammonia rams-awaiting

Another big racing program is scheduled for the Exhibition traclg again tonight with nine one-mile dash events listed on the card and with five to nine starters in

each event. All six classes are well filled with top-notch trotters and pacers and should constitute another thrilling program equal to the one witnessed there one week ago, and that is saying something, as last Saturday's racing was pro- bably the best night racing meet held here since it came into be- ing one year ago. I O O O The other leading sporting feat- ure to be held locally over the week-end will be the Junior Base- ball League tussle at Memorial Field between the Kinsmen and Victorias which will get under- way on Sunday afternoon. At the same time the Juniors are bat- tling it out here, the Charlotte- town Abbies will be taking the field against the Curran and Briggs nine at Summerside in the second half of a double bill on the Island Baseball League roster, with the R.C.A.F. and the C and B aggregation clashing in the. leadoff encounter on the twin bill. O O O O

The main attraction in golfing circles this week-end will be the last stage of MacKinnon Cup competitions which will be run off this afternoon by the Char- lottetown Golf Club at their Bel- vedere course. O O It looks like the good reputat- ion built up in mainland boxing circles during the past few months by Harry “Kid" Poulton. classy Island welterweight champion, has attracted the attention of leather pusher promoters far beyond these eastern shores. when the lo- cal champion received an offer the other day from a promoter in New York City to go and fight there under his personal manage-

ment. O O I l

Making good showings in most of his mainland scraps, Poulton is a clean, clever boxer who is al- ways ready to mix it, and al- though there are better welters in the Maritimes, it is these quali- ties alone that has earned him the respect and popularity held for him by mainland fighters, fans and promoters. O O O

His recent offer to go and try his luck in New York is just the sort of, opportunity that Harry has been looking for, although he will admit himself that it is much better than he had hoped for, which will give him the proper training and experience that he needs. Whether or not Poulton has what it takes to make the grade there or not is hard to say. but it is a cinch that any exper- ience gained there will stand him in good stead for future bouts in the Marltimes. Judging from past performances. whatever he does. however. will not be for the lack of trying on’ Harry's’ Defi-

i Keen. Racing Promised In Tonight’s Program

Thriiled by the performances they witnessed last Saturday night harness racing fans are expectedxo flock to the Exhibition track in even larger numbers tonight when the second night racing program of the season will be staged.

And don't be surprised if to- night's nine dash program exceeds the sensational duels of speed seen last week for a glance over the list of entries assures even the most critical fan of the keenest kind of racing. .

Bo well have the trotters and papers been classified that it would take an expert to pick a sine-fire

CHARLOTTETOWN

winner. Favorites who were top- pled like ten pins o. week ago could l/"Y easily meet the some fate again tonight over that lightning- like piece of racing dirt and then again they might come through with clean-cut victories.

But whichever way the racing battles swing fans can be sure of getting more than their share of the thrills that only the “sport of kings’ can furnish.

The first heat will get underway at 9 o'clock sharp and the same capable group of officials will be in charge of the meeting.

A black Canadian-bred Cocker, entry number thirteen, won the Best in Show. last evening at the Charlottetown Kennel Club's scv- enth Annual International All Breed 110E show at the Armouries. The Cocker, Ambition of Brookside, which is owned by Percy S. Saw- ler, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, also won the Best Canadian Bred hon- ors.

Mr. C. R. Williams, Queen Hotel, won the puppy lottery with ticket number 1702.

A feature of the day was the showing of the local dogs against the entries from the mainland and the U. 5., which were said to have made “the best showing yet." _

Mrs. C. S. Scrantorfs 3-year-old

wire-haired fox terrier, Westmount Nova Laddie, won Best of Breed, Members Varieties class, and was placed second in the Terrier Group, beaten only by a Canadian champ- ion Scots terrier. For the past two years, Mrs. Scrantonfis kennel sire was not considered as a show ani- mal and consequently was shown yesterday for the first time. He was entered “just to increase the number of entries." Mrs. Scranton is from Southport. Walter Shaw’s II-month-old col- lie, Strathnairn MacGregor, was placed first senior puppy; first in novice; first in Canadian bred col- lles; third in Varieties all breeds; second in Work Dogs’ Group; and reserve Best of Winners. Judge Paddy Boughs pronounced him a “very promising young dog." Al- though Mr. Shaw showed this dog from his kennels it had been sold previously to a buyer in Ottawa.

Stewart Jones’ Brittany spaniel, Van of Westwood won Best of Breed in the largest individual en- try. The next largest was the five spectacular, snow-white Samoyedes of Dr. C. S. Bezanson of Aylesford. N. S. .

Maj. Tom Rogers won the brace competition with his brace 0f Alr- dales. Earl Corlsh's Beagle won the Best in Group 2 (Hounds).

Visiting the show was W. P. (Dinty) Moore, Shubenacadle, N. S., Maritime director of the Cana- dian Kennel Club and a prominent Labrador breeder.

Praises Show

"I have only missed "one Char- lottetown show since its inception —and I was sick then. This is an exceptionally good show and the dogs are of good quality. There is a great deal of credit due to those who managed it. l was particularly pleased to see so many local entries doing so well."

Mr. Moore was very much im- pressed with the two-tier trophy display table “the like of which I have never seen at a show before." The silver trophies showed up

Vics and Kinsmen Play 0n Sunday

Tomorrow afternoon Vics and Kinsmen tackle ach other again in the only base all tilt to be play- ed on the local diamond over the week-end. It is a regular league game.

Starting pitchers will likely be Crockett for the Kinsmen and Mac- Leod for the Vics. Last time out the Vics pounded out a 15-3 win over the Kinsmen and the latter will be out tomorrow to try and get re- venge on their recent setback.

Fans are asked to note carefully the time of the game. It is to start at 3.30. This setback is because some of the players will be writing an exam.
