Our friend states that Mr. 0. Corbell, former owner of Lee. Brewer, is anxious to know when that horse and Watchlm will hook up again and that if he can pos- sibly do so he would like to take a trip down to the Maritimes to see them race. Hestates that Quebec City is holding a ten-day exhibi- tion with norse racing and that it is certain to draw all the best trotters and pacers in Quebec and quite a few from Ontario. Inter- esting to note is that the Quebec pacers entered at the big Malone, . . fair two weeks ago won practically all the fast classes. Our friend enclosed clipping re the Sherbrooke Exhibition races. That fair was discontinued for some time but is now back again and going strong. We note where the 2:19 Trot and Pace was won by Princess Guy, owned by S. H. Barry of New Richmond and driven by Louis Praught. Louis is a brother of Leo Praught, Cherry Valley.

Yesterday was workout day for quite a number of horses at the local track and we were pleased to see Johnny Eager showing some of his old form. Roy Barnett step- ped him ttvo miles, one in 2:16 and the other in 2:18 with last quarters around 32 seconds. He never lifted his nose and was certainly one beautiful trotter. In passing we must pay tribute to the wonderful improvement shown by Just Betty. also owned by Dr. R. I". Seaman. At the beginning of the season she was not given a chance by any of us. but fooled us all by winning and taking a record of 2:14 Old Home Week and being the contending horse at Montague to Billy Bishop and was 3-3 in two races on the mainland.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found ai-i advertisement for Good- will races which will be held at the Charlottetown track Wednes- day and Thursday afternoons. September 20th and 21st. You will note that the entries close Se t- ember 12th and you may te e- graph if you have no entry form. It looks as though there will be u great many horses here and prob- ably the salne brand of racing as tofik place at Goodwill races last a .

__fl__ We were glad io hear from our soldier friend Sgt. George R. Mc- Donald, who must have missed many of the letters and clippings we sent him and who is anxious as aver to hear about our horse rac- ing. George is in France and of course cannot say much about that, but wants to know how Milton Bell's trotter has perform- ed and all about the other horses. He also asked to be remembered to all the boys around the track.

_n_ Another soldier friend. Gunner Elmer Larter in Italy with the artillery, wants news of the races so we will certainly pass it along. He says: "We manage to let I Guardian now and then and al- ways like to read Down the Back Stretch. There are a lot of Island boys in our regiment and molt of them like horse racing and three- qiiarters of them have not seen the race track for about five years. When we were driving through Rome I saw one or two good trot- ters being worked. I guess that was the lest time they had been out of the barn for months. The Germans took every horse they could find but the owners of these must have locked them u ." Thanks, Elmer. for remember n! us and we will surely pass along some dope on the horses.
