Latest news from Hollywood Park shows Joe O'Brien still going strong. winning with the two- ycar-oid 2la.rl's Cal in 2.00. DtA:r- tagan in 2.04 8-5, Scotch Victor in 2.01 2-5 and several placings. one of the greatest races of the season out there was the finish between Tassel Hanover. driven by Harry Pownall and Prim: Jay. driven by Joe O'Brien. Tassel nosed Prince out in 1.58 4-5. Although Joe was over two weeks later arriving at the race meeting in California yet in a report of top drivers of No- vember h his placing is second. Fundcrburk with 51 starts had 14 wins, 7 seconds and 4 thirds. Joe with 43 starts had 13 wins, 8 sec- onds and 4 thirds. In money win- nings Joe is top of the class with 538,687.50, DonHall next with 327,- 817.50 and Funderburk 323,280.

Dr. George Bishop who has been with Drs. Hagyard so Hagyard of Lexington. Kentucky, for the past few years, is spending three weeks holiday here. In conversation with him he told us that Hal Price Headley. proprietor of Beaumont Farm, Lcxlng-ton, recently sold 37 thoroughbred mares at an average of 519,772. The highest priced sold for ses,o0o. While liarnes racing is enjoying big patronage particu- larly since night racing came in yet the runners do race for much more money and draw enormous attendances at certain raceways. The Doctor was well pleased with the performances of his horses this season and no doubt was delighted with Oahagen taking a. 2.10 mark at Charlottetown. He has quite a number of brood mares and colts and fillies as well as those that raced.

Although Parrsboro, N. 8., ,has ceased holding races over its track there are many good supporters of the sport there. notably Jerry Gil- lespie and Michael D. Gavin. some weeks ago they had a. sur- prise call from S.'Thane Belyea of Fredericton and were delighted to see him. They had also a call from James L. Read of Truro, who of course talked about the great horses of the years ago. Writing to us Jerry has this:-"Talkin about old timers, I noticed in your column where James Neill of Saint John died. He acted as starter for the opening day of our track on June 3, 1022. We were a long time without a track, then Captain Carl B. Morrison bought the track and started things going. Mr. Neill did a. good job of start- ing. My Dad. James D. Gillespie, won the first class with Lady Kip in straight heats. Prince Wilkes, owned by Capt. A. B. Merriman, with Phil Beliiveau driving. was 2-2-3, Doris Kip, owned and driven by Cooper Wisener of Pictou, was 3-3-2. Time, 1.08, 1.00. 1.0834. The owner of May 8. Grattan that took a record of 2.12 1-5 is Cooper Wis- ener's son, and don't be surprised if she takes a record of 2.08 next year. I always liked her, she has everything." Jerry one with:-- "Wishing you and 11 the other horse lovers the very best." Thanks. Jerry. always glad to hear from you.

Lewis) 1, time, 2.20. From the above it will be seen that our Cape Breton friends have been continuing their winning streak. Weather and track conditions were very bad which accounts for the slow time. Miss Judy Hal was sold at Harrisburg last fall. She is by Victorious Hal 2.0334 and her dam was Judy Rey- nolds. She was a three-year-old then and was purchased by P. J. Cndegsn for 31000 and can be well described as a very good buy. Mr. Cadegan later sold her to William Young, Little Bras d'Or, N. 8.. whom we take pleasure in con- gratulating. Another man we wish to congratulate on having made a good buy in Ohio last January is Richard Jabalee. North Sydney. who bought Handbook 2.00 2-5 at auction there. In the fastest com- pany at Blue Bonnets in the past few weeks he has more than held his own.

Just as we were finishing these notes our friend Walter Hennessey and son Joe walked in to see us. They had returned last night from Harrisburg where they attended the sale, and are mighty pleased to be the owners of Royal Value 2.04 2-5. He was highly recom- mended to them by Joe O'Brien, who gave him his record at Roose- velt. Joe told them he can go to the quarter in 20 seconds and can race on the outside all the way and finish strong. William Irving whose horses Joc campaigned un- til he went with Sol Comp, also spoke highly of Royal Value and was extremely nice to Mr. Hon- neessy and Joe. The highest priced house sold while they were at Har- risburg was Farwl. a six-year-old with a record of 207 1-5 taken in 1953. He is a. full brother to Adios. the sensational sire of 1953. The price was 320.000.

' A1 Langille of St. Stephen bought a very high-class horsa.5cp Hanover. for patrons. He took a. record as a three-year-old of 2.03, and 2.04 over a half-mils. track. He was bought at Yonkers prior tothosaieandwasphotoedout in 202 this year. Henry Dewitt or ?.' ” ”. who generally picks the good ones. paid 39500 for the five-year-old pacing gelding Parker 1!. 2.07 by Parker 5. He is eligible to the 2.21 pace and had earnings otaaaostnioss. In l952hsstart- ed twenty times, wu six times first, eight times second and once third with winnings of 3900.42. George Walker of St. 'Btephen,

who is a regular patron of Harris- burg sales, bought two. one was a colt and the other a green pacer. and Howard Johnson of saint John, N. B., also bought a horse.

They left Harrisburg on Wed- nesday and we asked them how they considered prices. They said they were very htgii. that four- year-olds with records of around 2.12 were selling for 31500 to 52500 and horses that looked good for racing at Roosevelt or Yonkers brought thousands of dollars. Ask- ed about True Hal and his racing this year. Joe said that he had won in 2.07 2-5 and was perfectly sound. They expect their horses to arrive here Monday or Tuesday of next week.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

The Week at S.D.U.

The biggest event of the past week took place on November llth when His Excellency Most Rev. James Boyle. Bishop of Charlotte- town rededicated our chapel altar at a. special evening Mass sung by Rev. Louis Dougan. His Excellency referred to a. plaque, the repro- duction of the masterpiece of De Vinci, ”The Last Supper", which has recently been placed at the front centre of the altar, This plaque is a gift of Reverend Louis Dougan and is dedicated Is a test- ament to the men of the Royal Canadian Navy and in memory of those who met death in service. Bishop Boyle, on behalf of the students of St. Dunstan's Univer- sity and the Diocese, extended thanks to Father Dougan for his generous gift. He also expressed appreciation at having present for the rededication representatives both of Church and State.

His Excellency was referring to the presence of Hon. A. W. Math- eson. Premier of P. E. 1., Councillor Albaii Farmer, representing the Mayor and the City Council and Commander Brian Young of, H.M C. Dockyard, Halifax. representing the Admiral. His Excellency re.- minded us that we must rcdedic- ate our lives to a free world. striving to avoid a new conflict of a. horrible nature with modern weapons which makes war too dreadful to contemplate.

Reverend Joseph Whelly. R.CN., Command Chaplain. Atlanticcoasi preached the sermon. taking his text from the Book of Maccabees, "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead.” Father Whelly reminded us that we have an obligation to pmy for those who have given their lives to give us freedom.

seated in the Sanctuary were: His Excellency Bishop Boyle,Mon- sigrior Patrick McMahon, Monsig- nor Maurice-MacDonald, Monsig- nor R. V. M.acKenzie, Reverend Gregory Murphy., Reverend Father Coyle.

Rev. James MacLean, Chaplain. I-l.M.ClS. "Magnificent" was deacon of the Mass and Reverend Owen Sharkoy, H.M. C. S. "Queen Char- lotte" was sub-deacon.

The St. Dunstan's Branch of W. U.S.C. is holding a sale of handi- crafts from India at the Char- lottetown Hotel this week-end. The importance of this sale can- not be overemphasized as its pro- ceeds are to assist in the building of a student health centre in Del- hi. India, during the next year. St. Dunstanis during the past few years has directed its efforts to the support of D. P. students in Canadian Universities, but this year is giving special attention to the international program. The articles in the sale have been pro- cured from India and are certain to fascinate anyone who cares to drop into the Charlottetown Hotel today to inmect them.

Two gentleman who have been very busy for the past week are Dick Wedge and Charlie Roche. who are preparing for our nrst M. I. D. L. debate, which is to be held at S.D.U. November 24th against King's College. Halifax. Dick has had experience in debating. having represented our college abroad last year, while Charlie is a nut year man in whom we have lots ofcon- ndancs. We are suro from the efforts displayed by these two young Juniors that st. Dunstan's can do nothing butw in its first debate.

the put week our senior audio nnishsd tho season with a. 0-2 victory over Dalhousie University. the game being played in Halifax. Although hampered by driving rains which left the field in a. very muddy state. the Red and White boys played excellent but and showed superioriity both in the scrum and baokneld. The St. Dunstan's points were garner- ed by Rodney Maclnnis and Gills Dorais. both of whom made very good runs before getting their trys. O O O

Although our senior team did not win any crowns this year, we can be proud of them for giving all they had in a good effort which barley fell short of winning the N. B.-P. E. I. championship. Had they won tlils. who is to say where they would have stopped?

On November 5th our lntei-nicd- late rugby team dropped a 13-10 decision to P. W. C. in the third playofi game for the intcrmcdlntc intercollegiate rugby championship of P. E. I. This win tied up the series as S.D.U. had won the sec- ond game while the first ended in a tie. The game last Saturday showed P. W. C. superior to a re- vamped S.D.lJ. team. The P.W.C. team led 5-0 at the end of the first. half and during the first thirty-nve minutes of play enjoy- ed a territorial advantage. In the second half the P. W. C. squad struck for two quick tries to give them a 11-0 lead.

The Red and White team hit the acoresheet when John Kelly made good on a penalty kick. In the last few minutes Jacky Mac- Donald blotted a P.W.C. kick xand raced 5 yards for an unconverted try. In the final play. Chick Mar- rlson recovered a P.W.C. fumblc in, scoring territory and promptly dropped on the, ball for three more points. Tom'McGaugh ompleted the scoring by converting Morris- on's try. The fourth game be- twoonvthoso two turns was played yesterday at Memorial Field, and ended in a 2-2 draw.

Last Tuesday our High school rugby team lost it 3-0 decision to an all-star High school team from Charlottetown. The game wssa thriller from start to finish with good ball handling on the part. of both teams. This is the first da- foat our High school team has sunered this year, but as one of the "Saints" remarked. they look good even when they lose.

Now that football is about over.

to keep land within eye light when the first snow of the sea- son blankets the ground. The snow seems to "act like a mag- net. At the meeting of the Queen's County Branch Game Association Thursday night in the Vocational School, City, the subject of sea- sons came up for discussion. Some speakers were of the opin- ion that the season on ducks and geese should be set back to Oct- ober 1st. The point was stressed that the black ducks had moved out to the salt marshes and tidal flats before the tenthl As a mat- ter of fact the salme scarcity of blacks would have existed on Oct- ober lat - - - the exodus to salt water began early in September. No one seems to understand why the ducks (blacks) acted the way they did this season. If it wasn't for the teal and ring-necked ducks on opening morning duck hunt- era would have had a lot of idle time on their iiands. Next year may be entirely different.

The discussion reached the stormy stage, or nearly so, and in the end it was decided to conduct a Gallup Poll on the subject of opening dates. It was also evident at the meeting that others be- sides duck hunters want the duck, season to open on October lsi. ii. is obvious that at least some of the inn Keepers are suffering from an attack of 'Amerlcsnltus' although it was an outside party who was throwing the halls.

Our opening date of October

10th clashes with the United States opening date. In former years visiting American hunters

planned on hunting in this Pro- vince for the first week or ten days in October and timing their trip to be home for their own opening morning. I know some U. S. hunters would like to see the old season return - - - for their own convenience of course. A few cancelled their reservations on this account. Complete returns on the number of non-resident hunting licenses sold in 1953 are not in as yet but I feel confident that the total is not far below the 1952 total. To my way of thinking this is a problem the U. S. hunters have to figure out for themselves. -

There has been no complaint re-

garding the goose, Hungarian partrida and pheasant but the controversy so far as our

local hunters are concerned cen- ters around tha ducks. The ones who opposed the change last year may have gathered some extra supporters on account of the scar- city of black ducks an inland waters on the tenth but the farmer hunters are, with few ex- ceptlons. solidly behind the new

badsetball manager Jerry Johnston is beginning to get teams together to participate in this sport. As yet, we have not played too much basketball, but we may be able to announce the number of teams and the respective captains by next week. I O I

SHEEBBOOKE W. I. ANNUAL MEETING

-The annual meeting of the Sherbrooke Women's Institute was held on November 5, when Mrs. Harold Matthews was special hos- tess at her home on Upper Cen- tral Btreet in summer ide.

'I'he presidentfMrs. Charles Yea, conducted the meeting which opened with the Institute Ode followed by the Creed. Fifteen members answered roll call by paying their fees for the ensuing year. Two visitors were also wel- corned.

Several members and others had attended the two weeks course given by the instructors of the WI. Extension Service on Hand- icraft Van which ended the prev- ious week. They considered the training in this course very ed- ucational and worthwhile. The :r,lrls' sewing class was re-or;:an- ized at the closing by Mrs. Maylea Manning, supervisor.

In her address. the president reported a busy year and express- ed thanks to all who helped by working so diligently.

Reports were heard from the school and sick committees. Two sick balls were made and treats provided. Messages of thanks were received from the recipients and one acknowledging receipt of a. svf1ll)"LllV car-ri.

Mrs. James Harris was appoint- ed chairman for the election of officers for the ensuing year which resulted as follows: pres- ident. Mrs. Robert Milligan: vice-

presidcnt. Mrs. Ray Harris; sec- retary. Mrs. James Hzirris; treas- urer. Mrs. Thomas Chapnell; di-

rectors. Mrs. Charles Yeo. Mrs.Eric Madsan and Mrs. Edward Laugh-

opening date. Even farmers who do not hunt have expressed satis- faction over the change in dates. Weather conditions hampered harvesting operation: this season and October 1st saw farmers in the midst of crop gathering or threshing. Hunters are not nearly so objectionable to land owners once the crop is harvested and safely under cover.

Personally I do cause for alarm among hunters who have gotten themselves all hot and bothered over their alleg- ed failure of the October 10th opening date. To begin with this date hasn't had a proper try out. One year'is not enough to judge its merits or otherwise. The 1954 season may be entirely different. One point in its favor is evident -hunters are high in their praise of the quality of game bagged on

not see any

the 10th compared to the old opening date on the 1st. As one sportsman commented: ”l'd ra-

ther have a pair of Huns bagged on the tenth then shot on the first of the month in former opening days."
