table is the fact that Montague will not hold a. race meeting this season because the grand stand was blown down and other dam- ages to the plant. George Mclntyre, lls proprietor. has definitely de- cided not to resume racing. at least for the present. No word has been received from Parkview or spring- field. The opening night racing meet at Charlottetown will be held on June 28th and we understand there will be night racing on Fri- day and Saturday nights through- out the season. other dates are. summers Tuesday, July lst...

That will give horsemen and race fans a pretty complete season's sport and judging by the number of horses which are being trained, or expect- rd to train. there will be plenty of speed available to fill all the classes and give good racing.

On the mainland 'nuro Race- way will be going full swing throughout the season starting May 24th. Woodstock. N.B. will start racing late in June and arrange- ments are being made to have Syd- ney hold night racing and some afternoon racing the same as last year. The hook up will be between the owners of the Sydney plant and those who conducted the races last season. This will make a strong. capable combination thnt will as- sure horsemen of as good if not better programs than last year. Then again there will be racing at various points in New Brunswick such as St. Stephen. Fredericton. Moncton, Chatham. St. John and also at tracks in Nova. Scotla. The season has been a bit backward hilt a few days of sunshine will cor- rect this. -

Stables are starting to fill up at the Charlottetown track. The iat- est. arrivals are the Roddte Ford and Roy Mills horses from Hunter River. They include Abegwelt Mil- ady 2.l4'.'-.. the five-year-old trot- ier Peaceful Peter by Watson Pet- er. the l-i-year-old Baron 2.11. whose travels have taken him through many parts of the United States and the Maritimes, the pac- or Bob Dale 2.14. by Lauderdale. and the four-year-old pacer Kal- muck Etta. all owned by Ralph Mc- Fadyen of Hunter River. Roddlc and Roy are as happy as two school boys - fresh from the free- dom of school let out - and have been busy ever since they came in fixing up stalls and living quarters and lrallllnl their horses.

In will we purchased the pacer Volo Rico 2.05 and found after he arrived here that we had bought a lame horse After consulting vets and keeping a. careful watch on him. we found it was caused by kicking in the stall. so we nailed up bags of straw all around and that stopped TUT- ther trouble, but the lameness had to be dealt with. so we secured the services of Gib Weir. who swam him every day increasing the dis- tance every few days until he would be in the water for it full half hour or more.

Three weeks before the Char-, lottewwn Exhibition races we gave, him easy training miles and I think we had exactly eight work- outs when we started in the Free For All with a high class bunch of, pacers. The first heat was won by Eula H.. owned by S. A. Women at Son and driven by Billy Keyes in 2.10. She won the second heat in 2.08, setting a new track pacing record and displacing that made by John R. Braden in 1921. The third heat we were right at Billy Keyes' wheel 25 yards from the wire. then pulled out Volo Rico and highlined him and he went on tn win by a neck in 2.08"-T. one of the biggest surprises of the season. so if you have it lame horse and im- near the seashore. there is a meth- od of helping your trouble.

Harry Poulton Winds

Up Training For Fight With Graham,Sat. Night '

A well-conditioned Harry Poul- ion, his heavy training completed, will taper off today with shade boxing exercises in preparation for his ten round fight tomorrow night with Harold "Red" Graham 'of Halifax.

At stake will be the right to fight Tommy "Gun" Spencer of New Glasgow for the Maritime welterweight i crown and the 5 year old Poulton, a slick boxer with in solid left hand is confi- dent that he will be getting that chance.

And whether or not he sets past Graham probably depends, upon how much he learned in Toronto last winter. While in the Ontario capital Ilarry worked out continuously with Alan Mei-Tater, Billy Flfield and Frltzle Pruden. the best lightweight and welter- weight fighters in Central Can- fidn.

For weeks Poulton has been working out in Aubrey Found's gymnasium. sparring with fellows like Austin Squarebrlggs and "Bud" Lund. During the past few days he has concentrated on left- hanticrs like Bobby Gallant. Ills opponent tomorrow night will be

11 southpaw. This will be the third meeting between the two men and the

rubber fight. Poulton decisloned Graham several years ago but in their second light the 23 year old Halifax slugger evened matters.

Graham is expected to arrive in the City this evening. The young Halifax fighter, who holds decisions over most of the Marl- iime men in his division is a boxer on the up-grade and is lay- ing claim to the Maritime welter- weight crown.

The fight will take place in the Charlottetown Forum and the first card will get underway at 8.30 the muln bout should start about lcn.

But before the main bout fans should be treated to a good eve- ning's entertainment. In the semi- final rangy Austin Squarebrlggs will meet Johnny Russell. both of this City. in a six round go.

Both boys are well known per- formers and crowd plepsers. The bout means a lot to each as the winner will get a crack at "Digger" MacEwen, the hard hit- ting Wesivlllo, N. S. Chief 01 Police.

Tiger Steele will fight Louis

The members of the Charlotte- town Golf Club will officiauy open the Belvede a Links over the week- end provided that ihe weatherman gives the green light.

An opening tournament will be conducted with all entrants playing 18 holes on either Saturday or Sunday with prizes for low gross and net.

At the same time a par compet- ition will be held with each player counting his full handicap playing against par on each hole. The golf- er with the most number of net pars or better wins this competi- tion. Entrants must register at the Pro shop before starting their round.

The course is reported to be in good condition as the result, of considerable work this spring and it is expected that there will be a large turnout of golfers getting in shape for their match with Ben Hogan on May 31.

The period of May 17th to 24th has been set aside as "Forest con-

servation Week." At this time of year our forests and slashings left from last season' cuttings are be- ginning to dry out and an unex- tlnguished match tossed away or the stub of a cigarette carelessly flipped side, could be the start of a forest fire of unprecedented pro- portions.

At time of writing our whole province (P. E. I.) is a potential fire trap. For the past. two years. both winter and summer, pulp wood cutters have been at work week in and week out. Acres upon acres of slashlngs, linked like saus- ages with narrow strips of uncut woodland, extend for miles in all three counties.

This past week I stood on a high slope and gazed across miles of woodland, or what was once woodland. Through field glasses I could pin point the little Islands of greenery amid dun coloured stretches of desert waste. A few streams intersected this territory but would be of no avail in pre- venting the spread of fire. I shiver- ed when I visioned the red menace of fire . . . the forests' worse eli- emy . . .rampant in this man made trap for the destruction of Nature.

There is always attendant poa- slbilitles of fire hazard in even well-managed wood cutting but when absolutely no effort is made
