There are a lot of new horses in Qilfflec for the racing and it looks ke it should be a hot spot for this season's racing. Last year Richelieu raced 136 beats better than 2.10 and as many more were raced at Blue Bonnets. I expect there will be many more fast mil- es this year as there were a num- ber of good 2-year-olds and 3-year- ulds that should give a good sc-

URGES SUPPORT Sir: -- Are 2.000 cnlzens planning to attend the Minor Hockey Play- offs tonight? The rink should be filled to the rafters. not only ft the V purpose of encouraging school-boy :- hockey. but as an expression. of tangible appreciation of the eifort which has made this winter's pro- gram possible. Brigadier Reid and a couple of loyal assistants have quietly and without fan-fare pro- vided more than 1.000 boys with a hockey program, not nus assed, I'm sure in any city in the country. The rink management. too, has gone all out to make this effort possible.

Parents and friends of youth in Charlottetown and suburbs are greatly in debt for the services so effectively rendered. Tonight is the opportunity to show our appreciat-

gelding was no shakes as a trotter, and he promptly fitted him out with a pair of hopples. He took to his new gait like a duck does to water. and soon was showing him- self to be the makings of a real pacer. In his first start Pat fin- ished 7-8. But he came right back in his very next start to win both heats of the free-for-all before the home folks with a pair of miles in 2.0!.
