We are greatly pleased to have a letter from Alderman J. I-tarry Brecn of Halifax. N. S. Harry and Frank Adams are two of our earliest horsemen friends in Hall- fax and both were mainstays of the sport and we are glad that they are still so interested. Here's Harry , , , "I was indeed glad to hear from you and note you are stili keeping horsemen informed of what goes on in harness horsr doings.

This is a long letter, Colonel, but I have enjoy- ed writing you as I sure do miss the old crowd and so many of them have gone that I have rated among my very best friends. This takes me back to when I was still at school. I had bought with my entire savings some tickets on a more of yours, Miss Aicyone. You won the race after a number of heats. but I had taken cold feet and sold my tickets. After that she won the fourth heat and race. When you see George Callbeck ask him if he happens to be in our town to drop around and I will take him out to see Watch- im's filly. terested now that he has Watch- im." . . . Thanks. Harry, for re- plying so promptly to our letter and we are sure horsemen friends all over the ltiaritimes who rc- mrmbcr what you have done for horse racing, will be glad to wei-

conic you back again into the racing game. As our readers are aware. Argot Pointer 2.07 was

owned and raced by Mr. Rreen for sevcrfil years prior to hcinsr pur- chased by ltoracc Willis. Horses owned by him a few years previ- ously were Sully 2.08 I-"4 and Star G. 2.09. They were but two of the many raced over the years by Harry.

The man whom the Islanders med to keep them rolling in the Mai'ltiiiic Major Hockey League is big Butch Stahaii. Last year with Ottawa Senators in the Quebec Senior League Stahan played 56 games. scored three goals. assisted on 13 more and spent 118 minutes in the penalty box. His time in the cooler was exceeded only by Gordie ilodgson of Shaivinigan Falls who to his credit.

Stahan's average was R shade bet- ter than 2.1. O O Lest we one the impi'es.sion Siahan spends all his time bashing

THE GUARDIAN.

The Charlottetown Islanders were as hot as the weather was cold last night when they cooled on the league leading Halifax At- lantics 9-4 at the Forum before the largest orowd of mectators here this season.

Displaying the most potent power attack yet unleashed by any com- bination of players in the M.M.H L., the Islanders capitalized on three Halifax penalties to subdue the league leaders.

'I'he re-vitalized Islanders scored three goals within the space of 56 seconds in the first period when Pete Wywrot of the visitors sat out a penalty.

They battered that mark in the second period as the Atlantics played two men short. While Wy- wrot and Bloom sat. out minor penalties together the Islanders blasted three more goals past Roy MacMeekin in only 43 seconds.

The Claude Robert, Paul Sain- don, Orin Carver string led the Islanders assault by accounting for eight of the goals. Between them they iiccqunted for 17 points with Sain-don getting seven, Rob- ert six and Carver four.

It was a terrinc harvest: for the Islanders' latest. power string. Car- ver and Saincion eaoh fired three and Robert, the brilliant icc gen- eral. got the other two.

The Atlantics were badly dazed by the deadiiness of the Islanders attack in the first period and they didn't. come off the ropes until the
