“ELECTRIC LIGHT SPORTS.

Witnessed by a Large Crowd— Summary of the Events.

That electric light sports are a drawing card, and a big one at that, was once more made evident last evening.

Sometimes the boys do forget that they are not on the tracks to demon- strate their slownese; but iast evening, loafing was conspicuous by its absence The track was in good condition and wel! lighted, the band piayed sweetly and the crowd though cvidently pleased were somewhat lacking in the article of enthu- siatm dealt out on former occasions. The reason is plain: The contestants were al! local men, and being such, the knowing ones had them all labelled in their respec~ tive order of merit long before the starter’s pistol flashed. Some of the finishes were close ones nevertheless, and altogether the management of the C. A. A. A. are to be congratulated in the enterprise exhibited.

The officers were: Referee, Dr H D Johnson; Starter, A E Ings, Judges, GeoJ Rogers, B C Prowse, W L Harvie; Clerk of Course, H Large; Tiers, J M Campbell, H Divgwell.

Mr. Frank J. Power, of Halifax, acted as starter,andhe had for bis associate judges Mr Geo Hughes, of Charlottetown, | and Mr A C Rogera of Summerside. Mr, * burt.
