The highest price pcld was $10,000 and the average must have been quite well above $1.000.

Horse Racing in Maine

Coming nearer home m tbs state or Maine, which we resemble in the fact that we are great growers of Potatoes and our farmers and peo- pfe have a flair for horse racing, we find that the racing was large- ly confined to the all agricultural fairs. from the middle week in Aug- ust to the 15th oi October.

'l‘lrc fastest mile in that state r: made by Laurel Hanover. who izizad a mile over a. Maize ehlf- mile tra;k in 2.04 l-4. I-fe was a frequent winner on the Grand Circuit. Other good pacers wQa Lady Locket 2.06 1-4 and Royal Hanover 2.0’! 1-4. The duels be- tween Rhineworthy and Billy Btratiimore weze renewed, but the former proved too much for the Strathmore horse this season. They usually stepped the half mile tricks in 2.00 or better.

The greatest "find" of the season wu the slick moving pacer Silver Evans that started eligible to a comparatively slow class. won sev- eral aunts and finally took a rec-

Alan Harvester was not eligible to that class.

Peter Dillon who finished third

was owned by Dr. L. D. McIntosh Dr. McIntosh recently‘ passed away. He was at all times a staunch sup- portm oi the harness sport. a ilne gentleman and will he greatly miss- ed by the horse fraternity. As mentioned before Thursday was wet so the program for that day was postponed until Friday. It was a wonderful afternoon. calm and warm. and the track was light- Notwlthstanding the counter attraction of the Cartier celebration over 2,000 people were on hand principally to witness the great duel which was expected in the Free-for-All between Toll Gate 2.00 l-_4.

The llree-ior-All had as starters Toll Gate, Guy the Tramp. Samp- son Hal, Hunter l-ledgewood, Calu- met Brownie and Darkey Grsttan. It was a wonderful race, one that will be talked about for many years. Toll Gate won the first heat in 2.00 3-4. which was a new Island track record, but Guy the Tramp was right at his pad while the other horses were bunched closely with Sampson Hal third.

The three-year-old futurity was won by Paddy Aubrey, Lena Worthy winning the first heat in 2.21 1-4, Bud Cope being second in the sec- ond and third heats and so close was the third heat that it was dif- ficult to pick a winner. Paddy took s, record of 2.22 in the third heat. The 2.18 trot and pace was won by The Willis with a. summary of l, 4, 1. Winnie Winkle was second the first heat, won the second heat but. met with an accident in the third, Mac Volo also being tangled with Winnie, time 2.13, 2.18 1-2, 2.13 1-2. \ The above were the purse events held during the season oi 1934 in Prince Edward Island and the prin- cipal events on the mainland in which Island horses took part. In addition there were a number of matinee races at various points which were highly successful and greatly enjoyed by the spectators. These matinee races deserve en- couragement because they bring out new horses which eventually become performers for the money. Glancing over the summaries here and therc we find that the fastest heat paced in the Maritimes during the season of 1924 was Toll Game's mile at Charlottetown when he won the second heat ln 2.05 2-4. The fastest heat trotted was that oi Peter Pfrcy at Fredericton, 2.01. The iustest heat made by a pac- ing stallion in the Maritimes was that of Patrick Direct at Montague when he won in 2.0’! i-4. The fist- cst heat paced qr trotted by a mar: ‘:1 the Maritime Provinces was that c! we: Crummcr when shc won at F cdcrlcton in 2.08 1-2. Bctiv S. rmig the jastcst mile for a Mari- time ovmzd mare when she step ed on two occasions in 2.00. Marjorie M. 2.07 3-4 made the most starts and covered the most territory. In fourteen races she won one and was second five times. King Spruce 2.10 owned by Wilfred Baker, Dart- mouth, siarted in twelve races, won three and was four times second. He stepped four heats in his races in 2.10, equalling his record each
