Again we take pleasure in pre- senting to our readers our Review l! Maritime Harness Racing with the outstanding happenings o! the ltalon of 19-18. One new track was in action, Parkviev: Raceway. Oyster Bed. P. E. I., and the Saint John, N, B., aval Was completely re- built.

Night racing was also conducted It Charlottetown with the opening night the latter part of June, and was continued until September 9th. It drew large attendances and was much enjoyed by the spectators, be- sides which it gave greater oppor- tunities for slow plass trotters and pacers to secure racing experience and win money. The new Saint John track was also equipped with lights and several qicresslul meet- ings held over it. The largest. purse o.‘ the season xvris raced for at Manctby the $2.000 Monctonian Free For All, which was won by the Quebec-owned pacer Highland Frisco. and in doing so he set up a new track record of 2.1.)?» 51-5.

Mention must he luade of the $1.000 stake [or 2.310 class horses- the Miramichl Reneival at. Chatiiam, July 1st. which was won by Star- light Direct, owned h_v ll. W. S. Aillngham, Gagetoivri, anri the No. Z $1,000 stake won h_v Lock liar)- over. owned by B. Yerxa, SUSSEX, over the same track.

More horses were (rained and campaigned than iii any previous year we have record rif ahd (he to- tal amount raced for was well over $160,000. ‘Traiclr records were low- ered in two of (he lliroo Provinces and more limits were contested than in any previous year we lime re- hiombered.

'1‘lie gong sounded at North Syd- ney, N. S., and Sprlnghlli, N. S. 0n May 24th and ended at Sydney, N. S., October 20th. Over 400 races comprising over 1.200 heal! 0f‘ dashes were run aft in 119 days and nights racing, distributed as tol- lows-Nr-nv Brunswick 50. Nova Scotla 39. Prince Edward Island 30. Public interest was shown by re- cord attendances at several tracks such as Charlottetowns Old Home Week and at other meets on lslnnd tracks as well as elsewhere. A con- servatlve estimate is that upwards o! 400,000 people paid admission and many other thousands listened over the radio to the vivid accounts o! the broadcasters.

Excitement engendered by the close finishes led to many argu- ments which were settled where tracks were equipped with the God- frey Photo Finish. The Startin: Gate which had been built at very great expense by (he Charlottetown | Driving Park Association, was used ‘ 21'. nll their meets and also at scv- Edward lslnnd.

Forty-Two Miles in 2.10 or Better l

There was a marked drop in (he number of 2.10 miles trotted or paced lhc past season compared with the previous your lll which S6 were registered. That was an all time high, being thirteen more ihrin in 1046, which had also con- stituted a record. Reasons for the big drop are various but. one of the nost potent ivris that (he Sydney ownctl puccrs Chuck \\'orth_v and Time Counts had been sold and were racing olseuiherc. Each of these bud accounted for eight 2.10 nrilcs, and Tip Abbe, which wit:
