Pat McKenna. who left here a short time ago in answer to a wire from B. C. Cruickshanks, is now located at Bridgewater, N.S. track and has already worked Ionnig Dudlong 2.10, owned by B. c. Ciwlckshanks. and Hal B. Di- rect 2.04 l-2. owned bv William

Cruickshanks. Pat takes over from Chester Smith. who had such a remarkable season last

year with the diminutive daugh- ter of Calumet Budlong, Bonnie taking a record of 2.10 and win- nlng the most races on the Mari- time Circuit. Hzii B. Direct was raced at New Glasgow in July and took a record of 2.06 1-4 which was also a new record for the

til the late fall meeting at Bridge- water. This year we understand he is workinz be order and al- though no fast miles have been stepped he has shown plenty of speed. __°._

While Pat McKenna has not been very activc as a reinsman the past few years yet some sea- sons ago he was one of the “tops" making great campaigns with Heatherbell and Billy Cope. He also marked several trotters and showed ability to condition, train and race with the best in the business. We will be delighted, and we are sure Pat's many friends here will also be, if he continues Bonnie's winning streak and makig good with the fast but not m reliable Hal B. Direct 2.04 1-2.
