I. Roland Harrlinan. Honorary P39515033. Ind LB. Sheppard. of the United States '1'r0ii-inc Association. are being congratulated on all aides on the wonderful performances of their four-year-old trotter Star's Pride. that as a three-year-old took a record of 2.02 last year. At Roose- velt Raceway June 29th.. he set up a one and one-half mile world's retard i-rotting of 3.00 U10 and has since set up other world's rec- ords. He is a son of Worthy Boy by Volomite. head stallion at Cas- iiewn Farm. Lexington. Ky. Wor- thy Boy was raced by Sop Palin. than manager of Castleton Farm. and was one of the leading con- tenders for -championship honors as a two-year-old and three-year- old trotter. Retired to the stud it took some time before his get hit the headlines but now he is well on his way as a successful sire with quite a number of his get

this season in fast time. We understand it is the intention of Messrs. l-larriman and Shep- pard to retire Star's Pride to the stud possibly after this season's racing.

Ten years ago Vic Flemming. Billy and Jimmy Flemming were a busy trio of trainers at Syracuse. N.Y. with twenty head in train- ing. but a couple of years after- wards Vic was in an accident which has put. him on the side- lines ever since. He is one of the world's most noted trainer-drivers having given a world's record pacing to Billy Direct 1.55. Ten years ago Billy Direct was stand- ing at Peninsular Farm. Free- mont, Ohio. and not attracting any great attention but a few years later when his get commenced to show intense speed he was taken over by Hanover shoe Farms and but for his untimely death he would eventually have been the world's greatest sire of fast record pacers. Even with the limited ser- vice he had his get are every- where showing up among the win- ners of the principal stakes.

Ten years ago Chief Abbedale p 2.00. made his first season at. Two Crafts Farm. Carmel. Indiana Now the Chief Abbedales are in great demand and last Saturday night. at.Chai-lottetown three of them were winners, Joan Chief won the second and fifth dashes. taking a new record of 2.12 225. She is owned by Harry Hirsch of Sydney and was driven by 'I'. Mauge". X-Iedgewood Chief won the third dash in the 2.14 pace in 2.10 U5. He is owned and was driven by Haber Sweeney of Bridgewater. and Cheeky Chief won the first two heats of the Free For All in 2.10 and 2.08. He is owned by Walt- er I-Iennessey and was driven by Joe Hennessey. cheeky Chief's mile in 2.08 equals the time made by Mcxylo Cash at Moncton. June 20th and these are the twn fastest miles paced in the Mari- times this season. In connection with Cheeky Chief's performances horsemen here have remarked to the writer and we agree. that he is in better condition and really racing faster than he did last year in the hands of one of the great- est drivers on the Grand Circuit- Clint Hoclgins. His best time last season was 2.05 U5 at Roosevelt Raceway, which is the fastest half mile track in the world. between three and four seconds faster than Charlottetown. Also he was only called upon to race one dash there and at Yonkers and other race- waya. A pleasing feature at Sat- urday night's racing was the win- ning of the first dash for trot- ters by Miss Judy Dale. owned by E. Buell and driven by Austie Tierney. We would like to pay trib- ute right here to the care and at- tention given his horses by Austie. He is tireless and always seems to find something to do around the stable. either with the equipment or the horses.

Alestra by F-ell Frisco. won the first. and fifth dashes. taking a record of 2.19 vs. He is owned by John E- Porbes. Fredericton. and was driv- en by Frank McAlduff.

The many admirers of that grand pacing mare Iola Henley 2.09. winner of 18 races last year and purses totalling over 83.000. were glad to see her step out on the track with owner-driver Clay- ton MacLeod behind her last Sat- urday night at Truro. As usual she was out in front both in the tith and 9th races. with Judd (S Walker) and Gay Law (Jewell) 2-3 in the first dash, time. 2.11 Us. In the 9th race Victory Dale: (Cruikshank) was second and Judd third, time. 2.11 325.

H. lsnor of Hal- ifax. and Bud Kalmuck (Given) the 8th race in 2.15 225.

Perfect weather and a lightning fast oval with a very eiiioyable card of racing were features at Charlie Willis' Parlor Track Cove- head. last Wednesday. There were several events that were out- standing. notably the winning oi the Classified Face by the four- year-old Abner the Great. owned by James Heffell. Summerside. and driven by George Sobey. that pac- ed his middle mile in 2.12 325 af- ter having lowered; his record to 2.13 3X5 in the first heat. He came back strong in the third in 2.13 U5. He was apparently under re- straint and looked as though he could pace in 2.11 or better. He is what is very appropriately known as a "floating pacer". that is he has an effortless stride. He gets his speed honestly. being by Abner T. Clegg 2.0-Hi, dam. Josie the Great 2.06'vi. the fastest mare ever bred in the Maritimes up until a year ago when her record of 2061,; made at Woodstock. Sept. 22. 1938. was broken by June Morn- ing 2.04 325 - but June's record was not made in the Maritime:-.. That season Josie was -first to the wire 22 times - seven of them in 2.10 or better-and all her training and driving was given to her by Johnny Conroy. Her owner was that good sports- man. L. F. Bickerton of Amherst. N. S. The field was a big one in this race but fortunately there were no accidents and some very good prospects showed up.

Another outstanding feature race was the Junior Free For All. the first heat of which was won by Mannister Direct 2.05. owned by Dewar Bros. Summerside and driven by Willard Kelly. with the time 2.09 225. Argot Pointer (H. Willis) second. The final quarter of this heat was in 30 seconds. In the next heat the horses loafed to the three-quarter pole and then came home flying with A180?-'5 nose out in front in 2.13 U5. Man- nister Direct 2 and the third heat there was a real battle right to the wire with Argot Pointer head- ing Mannister Direct in 2.09 V5 for a new record - one-fifth of a second better than his previous one. Owner-driver Horace Willis was much complimented on his skillful handling of this previous- ly considered notional pacer. Cre- dit muat be given to owner-driver Harold Cudmore for his good showing with Prince Budlong - 3-3-3 - and to the always good natured sportsman driver Harvey Cormier whose Time Table help- ed to make the event a success.

The Classified Trot was a dandy race with the veteran and excel- lent mannered trotter Luaticlil 2.13 winning the first and third heats in exactly the same time-- 2.i4 2l5. A surprise in the first heat was the splendid finish made by Joandale. owned, by L. D. Mc- Phee. Clyde River. and' driven by Charlie Willis. she must have beaten her record over two sec- onds. and third was Jimmie A-. owned and driven by E. Reeves of Freetown. He was fourth in the final heat. Joandale 2nd. Feather Duster. owned by Lester John- ston. Fortune. and given a really splendid drive by Lorna Kelly. won the second heat in 2.14 am after a great battle with Luaticia.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

After commending Miss Evelyn Henry in this column yesterday 150T her outstanding feat in being the first to ever swim Northurnberland Strait, we note that me Monctori Daily Times came up with a very

complimentary editorial in their Thursday issue concerning the ex- ploit of the Island graduate nurse here last Sunday. They also come up with a suggestion that might well be taken up in the future by other swimmers of note.

. . . Heading the editorial "It Could originate A Marathon Swim" this is what the Times had to say about it in part: ”!.dd to the long list of Maritlmers whose achievements have embraced many fields, that of Miss Evelyn Henry of Keppoch, P. E. 1.. who this week became the first person known to successfully swim Northumberlancl Strait from Cape Tormcniine, N. B. to Borden, P. E. I. It was a feat that not only called for strong and skillful swim- ming but great endurance. By her accomplishment Miss Henry has demonstrated that she possesses all three and she merits congrat- ulations on her excellent perform- ance.” I I I

Continuing. the editorial states: "For more years than many will recall, almost annually about this time the English Channel has been the world's marathon aquatic. course for ace swimmers. But more have failed in the attempt to makei the 21-mile crossing than the num-. ber who succeeded. although champions number quite a few. It was all the way and for the nearly nine hours she spent in the water

as that just accomplished by Miss I-Ienry may not have daring. but

to this particular section of Can- ada. Besides. her feat could well be developed into an annual mara- thon aquaiic event that would at- tract many swimmers and many more interested visitors here." .

For the information of those who attend the regular Sunday afternoon City Baseball League contests. there will be no game there his Sunday. The meeting between the Rovers and Anchors scheduled for that date has been postponed. The reason for the postponement is due to the fact that a number of the players on both squads will be playing with the Abbles in an exhibition game against R. C. A. 1". at Summerside tomorrow afternoon. I O I

The game will be the first of a series of exhibition games that the Abbies are endeavouring to arrange with other Island and mainland clubs. It is understood that the R. C. A. F. will play a reiurp engage- ment here next Sunday. The Abbies also hope to be able to ar- range having the Moncton. N. 8.. Legionaires as the visiting club here the following Sunday.

0 O I

If the present plan for the ex- hibition games comes off as sched- uled, it will necessitate the post- p-nement of three Sunday games in City League play. and as far as can be learned from officials last night. the tentative plan is to play those games at the conclusion of the present schedule. one spokesman said last night. how- ever, that if suitable playing dates in between regular scheduled games can be arranged. the post- , nements may be picked up asi the schedule progresses. l

They are: saint John Beavers. Moncton Hawks. Charlottetown ls- landers and Halifax St Mary's of the old Maritime Major League (Big Four) and Sydney Million- aires of the Cape Breton League.

The original idea was to bring together the seven teams of the two circuits in an effort to over- come financial difficulties.

Mr. Hudson said. however. that North Sydney Victoria; of the Cape Breton circuit have said they will not enter. He had received no word from Glace Bay Miners.

of the muski-at trapper:

The muskrst open season. Feb- ruary lst till April 15th. as set forth in the Game Act (1961) is not meeting with the approval of local trappera. A conaide .ble number have talked to this col- umnist regarding , the Spring muskrat season. They insist that such a season means the end of legal muskrat trapping.

They argue thusly: The Game Act prohibits the cut ing into or interfering with a muskrst house or setting a trap within 10 feet of their house and. whereas at the end of the season practically
