It may be mentioned that tracks were kept purposely heavy in those days and it was usual to get a couple of seconds allowance at the end of the season as class- ification was according to time record. At that race meet tlie writer won five races. which we believe is a record for o\vner-drlt~_ er. with the following horses _ The Yank won the 2.21 Trot in Strfllilht heats, Major S. the 2.36 Pace and 2.15 Pace, British Ginger tlie 2.40 Trot and Dan Patchm the 2.20 Trot and Pace. That was a five heat affair with Hector winning the first two heats, Tom Holmes driving.

We have looked up for g similar winning of five races by a driver at a Maritime meet and find that Joe O'Brien drove five winners at the North Sydncy race track Sept- ember 2nd and 4th. 1940. as fol- lows Peter-it-Couirt 2.121.’, for Dr. D.A.

Rflfikinghflm Park, N.I-I. is one of the most prominent of thc ihvrflushbred racing association's chain. Horses on running tracks are heavily backed by syndicates operating 1n big cities o! the U"- ited States. and it was recently discovered that odmiwion had been gained to the stalls of several of the horses and sponges put up their nostrils so as to preven; them from breathing properly and of course that would slow than: 11-11 and make them non-winners. No one at the tracks had any cognizance of the affair but the best defectives were put on the trail and the culprit arrested to- gether with an accomplice.

Canadian drivers are certainly 13111118 a large part of the lime- light in the United States. Earle Avery top driver at Foxboro and now Cecil Champion, 43-year-old trainer-driver of Winchester, Ont. was crowned champion at Sara- toga Springs fall meet. The run- ner up was a Canadian. Ste-d Craig. Champion's average was .394 and Craig was second with .383.

Horsemen were shocked to learn of the death of R. Horace John- ston at Charlotte, N.C., October 25th. He was vrvi-y prominent both in the breeding and racing of trotting horses. He owned Bill Gallon 3. 1.59113. when he won the Kcntucky Derby. Afterwards plac- ed in the stud Bill Gallon has pmvcn a good sire. several of his gct racing well this year. notably Brewer's Gallon. that won in 2J3 1-5 nt Hollywood Park two weeks iigo. But perhaps the most notable horse owned by Mr. John- ston is the giant trotter Rodney 1.57 2-5. whose name is familiar to everyone who has followed har- ness racing the past two years.

On the other hand, Amateur Athletic Clubs such m: the Ahbies and Vice. who are interested .in competing in the intermediate group, feel that they are not in a position to enter into an un-reg- istered group such as the City League, and should confine their activities to organized and regis- iered divisions, which is constitu- tional with such athletic organiz- i ntions.
