Good news to Island horselnen Ind race fans is that the Sum- meuide stables and grand. stand will be in first-class oruer snd races will be held there Do- minion Day. Tuesday. July let. some time ago a great storm blew down a lot of the race stalls and did other damage to fences on the property and there was some all: going around that the plant night he closed down, but now we inderstand that the owner, Harold Gaudet. and his enthusiastic horse- man friend Andrew Perry. will go i'i8ht to work, build new stables, repair the grand stand, put up new fences and place the track in 1.319 V917 best ible condition or future meetings.

Summcrslda track has a. very Dns history dating back to the 1880's - in fact it is the oldest track in this Province - and we have hundreds of clippings on our files of races held over it includ- ing the celebrated Hernando - Black Pilot race of 64 years ago. The exact date was August 30th, 1888. Horses were the only means of transportation in those days ind everybody discussed the rela- tive good qualities of the differ- ent breeds. Hernando was a nell-bred stallion brought from the United -States, while Black Pilot was the son of another equally well-bred stallion, All Right, brought from the United States. Each horse had its partisans and inteiest was raised to fever heat when it became known that they were to compete for a 5500 purse and an equal division of the gate money. The following is a report which appeared in a locnl paper .he day following the race . . .

"Race day dawned bright and iunny and early in the morning people commenced to pour into Summerside in wagons. carts and on foot-. A crowded steamer ar- rived from Point du Cherie and the early express from Charlotte- town brought in over 400 people and a special which arrived at 11 o'clock a.m. brought 500 more. An express from the west at noon brought hundreds of people and at twelve o'clock they began to swarm out to the track and very soon the entrance was surrounded by an excited throng elbowing. shov- ing and gesticulating in their anx- lety to gain admittance. The crush lasted long past the appointed hour of the race and when it be- gan it was estimated that some 5.000 ladies and gentlemen had gathered on the grounds.

officials mounted the stand. They were, Judges, James MacLeod. Summerside, A. N. Large. char- iot?-Gtovin. Ind James Sharp of sulnmersld . starter. James Sharp. Timers. J. J. Davies. Char- lottetown.

Hernando broke just after the word Go and Black Pilot forged ahead. when quarter of the way around Black Pilot broke and Hernando took the lead training a considerable distance which he kept to the close of the heat, Black Pilot breaking several times.

In 1942 the present proprietor remodelled Summerside track, which had been in bad condition. built a new grand stand and new stables and on July 15th of that year one of the greatest trotting contests ever held over it took place. The first heat was- a dead heat between Watchlm and Squire Hanover, time 2.08 - the present track trotting record. The second and third heats were won in close finishes by Watchim in 2.08!-'4. 2.0853. Watchim was owned by Frank Adams of Halifax and was driven by Myron MacArthur of Kensington. Squire Hanover was driven by his owner,Tyndall Sem- ple also of Kensington. The pacer Uscita Britton was 3-3-4, the trot- tcr Millie Kalmuck 5-5-3, two oth- er starters.

With the many horses in training now in all parts of the Province a meeting over the Sum- merside track July 1st.-is- bound to draw a big field of entries and result in great racing. '

We had the pleasure of a visit from Joseph Leslie. secretary- treasurer of the st. Peters Race- way. whose annual raccs will be Wednesday afternoon. July 23rd. He said they are working on the track already and will have it in very fine condition for that date. Great credit is due to President Al- bert Quigley. Mr. Leslie and the other members of the track com- mittee for the very excellent facilities they have afforded the horsemen of King's County to train and race their horses. Last year upwards of 3,000 people were present on July 25th and saw one of the best rural race meets of

Con- nolly also presented the individual medals and silver spoons won by contestants. - The retired Naval captain ex- pressed his pleasu u at being ask- ed to present the prizes and re- gretted that ill health had pre- vented his competing as in former years. He remarked on the growth of the League in recent years and paid high tribute to Cpl. A. M. Johnston. R. C. M. P.. for holding his team together and making the success it has proven. and to Chief Petty Officer S. G. Bowles. Navy. for leading his Navy "A" team to a title.
