“This “us, however, a greaht dis- gppolllilllelll to the numerous orse- men who expected to ave compet- ed in a number of races there. The crnnwood track is said t0 be one of meanest half-mile tracks in the world, and they had spent. several thousands of dol-l-ars preparing for the ice meeting-

Wrhe races at Mount Clemens fol- toured Toronto and the best cam- paigners from there took part .The meeting was marked by sensational- ly fast racing. as never in the his- tory of ice racing has such Ont- gwndjng performances been made as at the three days meeting at Mt. Clemens. .\'o less than four world s records were broken, The Yank hanging up a. new world s one-mile record for trotters over lceof 2.15% and a new three heat record which is in the zigg-regste seven secon I‘: bettnr than the previous world's performance. The former worlds record for trottem was made by Cbilicoot, 2.04% at Toronto, Jan. 1917. Chilicoot was afterwards the greatest money-winning -trot ter on the Grand Circuit. The same horse also held the world's three heat record.

“For over a year we had cherish- ed the intention of trying for a world's record with The Yank. that ls, since he had shown such fast trotting on the ice during the wln- ter of 1923, and we pnepared him for this cfiort; but we expected t0 break tho record at. Cranwood, as we thought the race at Mount Clem- ens would he necessary to key him up for such n task. However. the presence of the very fast trotter Hugh \\'alts in the race," made if necessary for The Yank to go in 2.1512 in order to win. l believe he would have battered this mark if rat-ell nt (‘runwood the following wreak. .

“Several buyers were after The

Yank, but l thought I would like to hold on to u world's champion and bring him home to P. E. Island, and so did nut dispose of him. ‘ “l ivould like to say a word in ltmist- m‘ Eritest McTague and Ed- gar Pllllluhttin, who took my horses to Toronto in the latter part of Oc- tober. 1021i, and who are now bring- ing tin-m homo.

and four teams of the Students’ bowling league. Some very good scores were put on and in a short time some of the seniors will have to look to theirJanrels.

Thursday night a very interest- ing matcb was bowled on the alleys between the Eurekas and the D. H. P's. the former winning with the truly wonderful total of 2017 which is the highest total yet at.- talned by any team in this lad-lea league and which goes to show that there is a vast improvement which can only be attained by con- stant practice.

Notable in the game is the score of Miss Chandler with an indivi- dual score of 204 pins, and also that of Mrs. Brown with a total in three games of 465.

Keen competition and the best of feeling make those games a pleasure for the ladies and we are looking forward to some higher scores in the near future.
