gram in 2011-5, whldr was the 5'04

fssiest time-of the meet. It was aLso the fastest mile on the Cali- fornia fair circuit this season. Our congratulations to our friend Wal- Iter on this victory and no doubt he has also secured more with other members of his stable.

Our thoughtful friend, Reg Bell. M.L.A.. leader of His Majesty's opposition in our Provdncialliouse of Assembly, sent us a copy of the official program at Bay State Raceway. Foxboro, August 22nd. On it was marked-"Rogers and I here tonight. Nice show. 10,000 crowd. Clean and commodious grounds. Racing not se good as ours but well and cleanly run." A starter in the fifth race was Dale 1-1. He finished ninth in 2.00 1-5- the fastest time of the night's rac- ing. Dale was formerly owned by Walter Hennessey and while quite along in years is paying his way and quite often wins a race.

At Roosevelt Raceway the even- ing of Aug. 24th in the Classified Pace. Colonel Dan, owned by C.H. McGiniey, Houlton, Maine, and driven by Bob Ryan, won in 2.07 from a field of seven fast pacers. It was a new record for the son of Calumet Fingo and Nancy Car- roll. The following evening Joe O'Brien - won a Classified Trot with Glider. a three-year-old by Nibble Hanover in 2.08 2-5 and the Junior Free For All Pace. purse 33,000. with the eight-year-old Direct Wyn in 2.03 4-5, first quar- ter in 294-5. He headed such stars as Bud Mite 2.01. Fer-man Hanover. Gene Abbe, Paul Abbey and Patchen Axwqrthy. By the way. Ferman Hanover has since set a world's record in the 35.000 stake for three-year-old pacers of 200 2-5 at Syracuse. N. Y. The previous record was 201 made by Worthy Grrattan in 1936. He was lrivcn by Clint "odgins.

The following evening Joe won a classified trot, purse 31,250. with Oxford Hanover in 2.09 3-5 and was second in the free For All Pace. purse 35,000 to Guinea Gold. with Indian Land heading .Dr. Stanton, Hayes Hanover and two others, time 2.08 1-5. Guinea Gold 4, 1.5916. came with a rush through horses from fourth posit- ion l-n the final 100 yards to win by a length from Indian Land. It was the second race this horse had won since he was laid up with a broken bone in his foot his spring. Dr. Stanton and in- d-ian Land went to the first quar- ter in 291-5 seconds. then Stanton -vent to the front and was lead- for-g art the half in 1.004-5 and at the three-quarters in 1.32. He then wilted and Guinea Gold passed him on the outside with Indian Land moving up-along the rail to finish second. Indian Land's win- ninga are now over 3110.000.

Yonkers Raceway, one of the newest of the night racing plants in New York State. is going quite strong and among the driven who are doing well there we note Iarie Avery. Henry Clukey and Pierce Chappelie. The track was quite slow when racing was held there this spring but after a gen- erous treatment of new earth and considerable work it has improv- ed so that now the record is 2.03. act by Grattan McK1yo in the Free For All Pace. purse :3.000. which the Grattan horse won from Dr. Stanton, Bud Mile and nve others. Indian Land, driven by Houghton, only finished sixth .in' the summary. There is no doubt about it. Joe O'Brien has the knack of driving that horse. There is talk of making a match race at Yonkers between Good Tune. owned by W. H. Cane, and the t-rotter Proximity. which is the world's record money winning trotter. it would be at one and one-half miles. Good Time recent- ly set up a world's record for that distance at Yonkers of 3.03.

We have received an invitation and program for the 1050 Lexing- ton Troia which will be featured by the Kentucky Futurity. with

Grand Circuit meeting and will start on September flth and run to October ffh. with estimated ms of '3H0.000. he Lexington

dation will be provided to all via- itors Ind tbs bresdng farms in the vicinity will welcome horse- man who wish to visit, Irena. These include Castlsion Farm, Walnut Hall Farm, Walnut Hall .Gainesway Farm, Alrnahurst Farm mad Poplerl-lill Farm. Marl- time horsemen who have taken in Lexington meetings of the past have always come away with good wont for them. To look through the program and note the large purses for the various stakes certainly would make one wish to own a fast colt or aged trotter or pacer and to be one of those tak- ing part in such a ma-rvelious race meeting.

The only horse representing the Maritime: in recent years at Lex- lnmon was thetr-otter-pacer Tracey 1-irsnover. that took a record of 2.03 on the pace and 2.10 on the trot. He took part in the Inter- national invitation race there and won one dash and would probably have won the other only it was thought best to substitute one of the Grand Circuit drivers for his regular pilot, Lloyd Walker. Lloyd knew all the kinks in the old warrior and no doubt would have been able to land him first to the wire had he been left on the job.

The paces of the season is Scot- tish Pence. owned by Castleton Farm, Lexington. and driven by Wayne Smart. He is a iive-year- old son of Scotland that has been racing consistently over half-mile and mile tracks and has paced -in 1.58 2-5 and 1.584-5-a total of 3.57 2-5. the second fastest two- heat pacing race since Adios set the world's record at 3.56'A in 1044 at Lexington. Kentucky. and hrs heat in 1.58245 is the fastest race heat by a pacer since Kl.ng'a Coun- sel won the Free For All Pace at Lexington. October 5th, 1949. in 1.58. King's Counsel won the sec- ond heat that day in 1.5036, which made a total of 3.5'1ll4. or Just a shade better than Scottish Pence's two heat mark. If we remember correctly. the dam of Scottish Pence. Millie Worthy. is also the dam of Anti-Aircraft 2.03, by Volomite. and in passing it may be said that Anti-Aircraft is rac- quite creditably with several miles paced better than 2.10.

At Rochester. Minneapolis. Aug- ust race meeting, the 17-year-old trotting gelding Gregorian. was the star, winning a three-heat race in 1112-5, 2.112-5. 2.11 4-5, with each heat bettering his previous record of 2.12. He is a son of Mac- Gregor the Great and grandson of Robert MacGregor 2.11. that was known as the Monarch of the Home .Stretc.h. and was the sire of the mighty Cresceus 2.025, world's champion trotier in his day. The Robert MacGregor blood is considered valuable because of the stamina. and will to win qual- ities that go with it. Many will remember our old friend Heath- erbsll 2.08!l4, who was also a son of Macdkegor the Great. A pacer said to be re or 17 years old that has been performing quite well at race meetings here. is Toby Patch, driven by Billy Burt, who is al- ways in the money and frequently a heat winner. His winning heat in the fourth dash Saturday night in 2.18 4-5 was another new record for him this season.

The fun is over; a lot of Joy was taken out of life when the announcement came over the loud speaker on Thursday evening that Friday night's Futurities would be the concludi event of the seas- on at the Charlottetown track.

O U

The Executive of the track and. in particular. Clossider Frank Acorn and Secretary George Bun- iarn, deserve credit for the way they staged the meets and their classincation of the horses. It was very hard to pick the winners throughout the summe and as a result many large payoffs were recorded. The largest Daily Double ever paid through a pari-mutuel wicket was given at the Old Home Week races. The amount was

81443. I 0 0 So in passing this column wish- es to extend congratulations to the Provincial Exhibition Associ- ation in their past year's work of providing island harnes racing fans with the best in top notch racing entertainment. We sincere- ly hope that next year's racing meets at the local dirt track will be just as good and successful. 0 I 0

This column notes where Alex Nickerson (Halifax Chronicle-Her- aid) states that Harry Ponlton will lay claim to the Maritime welterweight crown that has elud- ed him ever since Joe Pyle. New Waterforddraslvacaied the throne. Poulton has fought. quit a few bouts with flghlters ou.ide his weight limit and has come out of them with a number of wins while losing only one fight to Roger Whynott who is the ex- Canadian ohan.rrp..

Nickerson is also high on Don- ald "Duck" Trainor of this city who has fought most of the best lightweight: in the Maritimes during the past year. Duck has always given I Rood account 0! himself in thegrlng and is expect- ed to be one of the students o' George "Rockabye" Rosa when "19 latter opens up his training clmp in Cape Breton in the near (ENN- ' O I

Oyrll Dauphinee's oolt stable from Halifax, Nova scotla, took the lion's share of the winnings when driver Carroll won two events with horses from the Nova Scotls stable. First it was Gallant Bobby. the class two-year-old pacer who made ininci meat of his class by finishing in front in both heats of the event. Julie clegg was second both trtpe with Bison and Penny Royal third in the first and second dashes re- spectlvely,

Kinsmen, Vlcx 4 Juniors Battle To 4-All lie

The Kinsmen and the Vic Jun- iors 'went the .. ..-inniru route for the nrst time during the play- offs but it was to no wall as the two evenly matched teams battled to a 4-al.l deadlock. The game was the fourth time the teams had tried to settle who won the first game of the series and was play- cd'beiore a large crowd of fans on Memorial Field diamond.

The Kinsmen went to the front in the top half of the first when they banged the offerings of Beagan, the Vic hurler. for three hits. They added mother in the fourth when they blned two hits. a walk and a pair of field- er's choices for their tally. How- ever lt was in the Vic half of the fourth that the Via: came to life when they reached Carson for four runs. They combined one bunt single. with an error. two hit batters, and a pair of wild pitches for the tallies.

The Kinsmen tied matters up In the fifth inning when they comb- ed the offerings of the sore-armed Beagan for another hit and two errors. Wendall "Preacher" Gulls was then shoved into the breach for the Vice and came into the game with the bases loaded, two

.out and Besgan's three and noth-

fng on Tralnor. Gillie proceeded to strike out Tralnor on three pitched balls and pitch near per- fect ball for the remainder of the game

The teams will now play a double head: aunday afternoon instead of the Abbles and ourrsn and Briggs clash at one o'clock.
