We are offering the following Used Cars, Trucks
or thirty horses owned by various parties in Charlottetown and sur- rounding parts are being trained at the Exhibition oval.
The beautiful pacing mare Mary Mark 2.08 3-5 has been staked ex- tensively through the state of Maine and after racing in I few events here will be taken to the Pine Tree State where she should take a low record. Mary Merl: won ten dashes last season and shared honors with Worthy Er- mine as having paced the fastest mile by a more in the Mari-tlmes- 2.08 3-5. Her owners, Earle Sem- ple and Harold Cudlnore. have had several good offers for Mary but are going to give her a real chance In the big company.
We thank George MacDonald, Boston. for a clipping from the Sunday Globe which shows a photo of a bad crash at Yonkers Raceway a week ago. Two trot- tors, Moses 2.03 and Aimee Scott 2.04 1-2 were down. The third horse was also down but managed to get up. Suikies were smashed and drivers injured -certainly a bad affair.

Ed Blnneweg in his harness rac- ing column in a New York paper writes - - - ''I like the new start- ing system employed by Steve Phillips but wonder whether it will cause some tight Jams at. Roosevelt unless Steve can get the car out of the way ll little quicker. Right now they blame the slowness of the car to leave on the bad foot- ing at Yonkers. I believe that Yonkers Raceway is laid out about 90 feet longer with 40 feet taken off at each turn to bring the back stretch closer. This gives the horse an extra 100 feet from the starting line to the first turn going away." - - - Our comment on the above is that the longer straightaway and lhc sharper turn is probably what caused the bad

accident mentioned above. You cannot take a short turn on high with agfoty.
.. Jack Curnow. sports writer for the San Francisco Examiner. has the following big boost for Joe O'Brien. - - - "The aulky brigade swings in action again today at Santa Anita. the week being high- lighted by a series of static races which will bring out the cream of the harness racing crop tuning up for the 550.000 Golden Wat Pace and Golden West Trot. Ilean- whils the twobuck bettors fol- lowing the sulklea are fast mak- ing Joe O'Brien the guy to bet on in the big races. The little Cans. dian has been scoring with tor- rific regularity when the chips are down. Willie it's not too hard to gain the sentiment of the public. It's a much tougher chore to gain praise from the guys against whom you compete, es. peclally the veterans.
But O'Brien has drawn high praise from another driver over the week end. a man not given to paning out Iaudatory comments freely. Harry Whitney. driver of Chris Spencer and among the Grand Circuit's most famous reins- man. told friends be regarded Joe O'Brlsn the best young driver of current times. Whitney went on To” say he believes one of i.hTbEit' drives he ever witnessed was when little Joe piloted Robert Morris to victory last Saturday against a top field. In case you missed that race. O'Brien brought Robert Morris from far back in the pack to nail Ebonltn at the wire for a nose win in the 57500 Burbank Pace.
O'Brien, with a small public stable. has been cracking the charmed circle with regularity. Seldom an odds-on favorite, O'Brien'a horses have been spill- ing the figure horses with regu- larity. He has a knack of getting the most out. of his horses and getting it when it counts. O'Brien has been driving in the U. S. only since 1047, having gotten his school- ing in Canada where 'they race for blood' rather than money. But in his first year of U. S. racing he drove 84 winners to go with 44 he had in Canada before crouing the border. That made him the top dash winner of the year. In 1048 and 1949 he was among the top winners. and it looks as though he'll be right up there again this season the way he's going at Santa Anita. In 24 starts he has 0 wins, 2 seconds and 2 thirds with money winnings of 9656.25. not bad considering his small stable.
O'Brien has four straight vic- tories with Brewer's Gallon. a horse he brought out of the Cans- dlan bullrlngs to Hollywood Park last year for B. C. Cruickshank of Halifax. While the horse had a record of 12 wins in I4 Canadian- starts. it had earned but 51101. which gives one a pretty fair idea of the purses. It wound up the season with 14 wins and 3 thirds and 82701 in earnings. Last win- ter O'Brien trained the horse at Del Mar. Nov. 5. he's as sound as a dollar and his but winning time has been 2.03 flat going away. Four victories have earned the horse 5325."
Mrs. Joe O'Brien in a letter to her father. James Flood of this city. writes - - - "Barbara Ann Scott. was out to the track this morning. She is in the Ice Capadcs here. They took some pictures of her and Brewer's Gallon and I will send one to you" when they are published. I wasn't there at the time so didn't get a chance to meet her. Joe says she is one of the nicest people he ever met. She went right in the stall with Brewer's Gallon and is very fond of horses."

A hundred or more geese in a large stubble field took flight be- fore I was within a quarter mile of it. I skirted tile field. Foot- prints led to it from the north. south and east. A clever blind at the edge of s hayrlck hadn't been tiled recently. neither had a, fox hole dug In a straw pue at the saith and of tile stubble seen much action.
