O O O It (would be hard to say at the moment just how the local boys will fare out in the competitions this year, but i.f their last year's showing at this same meet is any indication of the forthcoming re- sults, they should make good, as they made a very impressive show- lng last. year and copped off their share of the honors.

Says U-Ioaf Crew On South Sec Island

HAMBURG, May I — (AI) - The newspaper Niederdeutsohe Zeitung came up today with this tale of the South Pacific:

Forty German U - boat men sneaked their submarine out of a Norwegian port before the German surrender in 1916 and headed for the south seas. where they settled on an island. ‘they are living an idyllic life there with native wives. blissfully unaware of the world's poet-war troubles, and don't in- tend to move until at least 1905. This, said the newspaper, came in a letter received by a Ham- burg citizen. It was postmarked Wellington, N. Z. The letter did not name the island nor give the number of the U-bost.

P.E.I. Racing Cir Annual Meeting Wield Last Evening

The annual meeting of the Prince Edward island Racing Cir- cuit Club took place in the City l-lall last evening, with President George MacLntyre of Montague, presiding. His annual report which was Rad and adopted, appears be- low. The financial statement was submitted by Secretary-Treasurer D..K. Macleod and adopted.

The meeting then was opened for discussion of matters connected with harness racing. Speakers in- cluded Dr. George Bishop, Lt.-Col. J.P. Hooper, Harold Cudmore, George Gregory, Dr. Austin De- laney, Dr. RC. Dougan, LL-Ool. D.A. MacKinnon, Clifford Mac- Donald, F... F. Acorn and others.

A resolution was submitted by Dr. George Bishop, asking the horsemen present to back up the judges in their duties, and asking thcm to keep strictly to the rules. It was passed unanimously.

During the meeting, a lot of dis- cussion took place re-the "starting gate," but the general opinion was that it was satisfactory as operat- ed last. season.

Clifford MacDonald spoke of the necessity of a uniform entry system for the rural tracks, so that the public could rely on seeing the horses published as actual starters in the races. 1t is lilaely that some plan will develop to make this feasible.

‘Mr. ELF. Acorn, representing the Charlottetown Driving Park Association, explained the system they will use for their night races, but. it was pointed out, however, that such a system would not be satisfactory for the rural tracks.

Dr. Bishop's resolution, re stricter supervision of drivers, was strongly endorsed and it will mean that the judges will now feel more confidence in dealing with those who brea-k the rules of racing.

Messrs. Joe Leslie, William Les- lie ami- Albert Quigley of St.. Bet- ers were present and after the meeting talked with track owners relative to a date for a race meet- ing on the St. Peters‘ track. which is now being rebuilt. Circuit mem- bers will meet next week with a view to consider their requtst.

Clifford MacDonald. stated that l-lamld Gaudet, proprietor of the Summerside track, is having it re- surfaced by Curran and B11388 "if! is prepared to put on a prOBIW-‘fl of four or possibly five events for Dominion Day, July 1st. Mr. Mac- Donald will be race manager.

It'was announced that J. Leo Praught, proprietor of Riverside track, Vernon, preferred to change hi; June racing date from June 29th to June 22nd. Approval was given by racetrack members for t-his change.

The general opinion was that the meeting last evening brought out for discussl u. a. number of mat» tors that required to be dealt with. and for that, if for no other rea- son. it was very satisfactory.

The election of two new directors resulted in Mr.. Jack Annear. Mon- tague, and Dr. Austin Delanw, Summerside, being appointed.

At the directors meeting, held after the annual meeting the following officials were elected: Hon. President LL-Ool. D.A. M80- Kinnon; President, Mr. Charles Willis, Covehead; Vice-President, Mr. George Macfntyre, Montague; Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. D.K.. MacLeod. Charlottetown; Directors, Messrs.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Report of the President, George McIntyre:

It gives me great pleasure to meet with you at this. the begin- ning of the season and to report on our activities during the past year. I believe we can look back on 1948 and consider it very suc- cessfui.

Racing started Saturday night, June 22nd, at Charlottetown, the evening program was gieatly en- joyed and they were continued on Saturday nights throughout the Summer. The first afternoon meet- ings were held July lst at River- side and Summerside, then at Mont- ague July 7th, Covehead July 14in. Riverside July 21st, Covehead July 2'7. August 4 at Montague, Old Home Week August 10th w 14th, Montague August 26th. Parkview September 6th, Goodwill Races September 8th and 9th. Covehead September 15th and ‘lfith. Racing concluded with a meet at River- side October 11th.

The Starting Gate which had been used to some extent the previous year. was in operation at practically all races and gave gen- eral satisfaction and at nearly all meetings with the exception of the night races the Godfrey Photo Finish was used.

Due credit must be given to the Directors of the Charlottetown Driving Park for putting up the largest amount ever offered by a Maritime racing association. over $30,000 in purses and prizes for their season's racing. All other member tracks put up good pro- grams and purses for which the competition was very keen.

I believe that more horses were trained and campaigned than in any recent year and it is certainly gratifying to see the number of slow class horses that took new records and the stars that showed up among them.

It was a pleasure to greet a new member track - Parkvlew Race- way —- with its genial proprietors Amos and Alyre Gallant. They held a very successful meeting on Labor Day, September 6th. and with that good start they are all set to do even beter his year.

A new track trotting record of 7-09 4/5 was set up by Fast Train. owned by Vernon Irving, Shediac, N. 5.. and driven by Fergie Baxter. at Covehead. September 15th. Diirins the season eight 2.10 or better miles were stepped on Isl- and tracks, Charlottetown having five and Covehead three. The fast- est mile of the season on an Isl- and track was paced by McKlyo Cash 2.02. owned by George B. 585'. Moncton. and driven by Chester Smith, at Charlottetown, August 12th —- 2.06 Ii/fi. The feat- est mile trotted in the Msritimes was that of Fast Train, owned by Vernon Irving, Shediac. N. 3.. and driven by Fergie Baxter, at Cove- head. Sept. 15th - 2.09 4/5.

The fastest miles in the Mari- times were performed on Island tracks as follows: Fastest mile by a trotting mare was stepped by Nell Kalrnuck. owned and driven

The three winners of the Victoria Day IO-mile bicycle race were also in attendance as special guests.

Brigadier W. W. Reid._Director of Physical Fitness. was the pre- siding ohairmsn. Special guests in attendance were Mr. W. 2.’.

Buck White, Ev ett Toombs and representatives o the press.

Following the banquet. individual trophies, donated by the Depart- ment, were presented to the mem- bers of the Bantamand Pee Wee teams, while the three winners of Tuesday's bicycle race were also presented with their trophies. Councillor W. H. Boston made the presentations.

Brigadier Reid made a brief opening address of welcome to the honred guests, in which he said that although the prime reason of the banquet was to show their appreciation to the Bantam‘: and Pee Wee’s for their splendid show- ing lsst season. and to present them with their trophies. there was also a secondary reason. That reason was to create a greater interest in these same Bantam and Pee Wee groups, who played hockey together all winter. to have them carry on in those some groups this summer in the various baseball leagues which are being organised, and to meet with the oidsr guests present who have volunteered their scr- vices to help in the organization and management of the various

The chairman then called upon various members present to say a

few words which included Mr. W.-

B. Scantlebury, Major Tom Davies, Art Perry. Bucko Trainer, W. l-I. Boston, and the pron represent- atives, who all offered their con- gratulations to the winning teams for their fine showing last soa- aon and wished them the best of luck in their activities in the future.

In closing Brigadier Reid uld that the purpose of organising the baseball program for this summer was to have every boy of Bantam, Midget, and Pee Wee age playing ball this summer. He Jessed the hope that the boys present would talk it up among the many other: of their own grows who were not present. so ‘that everybody who wants to play bail this summer will have a chance to play. and make it l. really luc- ceasful season.
