- downpour Old Home Week 1040 has come nnd gone and many pleasant me- mories remain of a week filled with glamour and excitement, with the added pleasure of meet- lng hundreds of old friends from iall parts of the Maritimes, also some from far away parts ofCan- ada and the United States. Char- lottetown race meetings have been great gathering places for horse- men as long as the writer can remember and it is a pleasure to look back on the many friendships formed throughout the years and the renewal of those friendships year after year. While the entry list was the biggest in the history of harness racing in Canada there was a large number of withdraw- als. owners feeling that perhaps ‘their horses would not be able 1o place in the competition they would meet. Some of their ap- prehensions were not well found- ed as the management split the classes where there were more than ten entries and placed the horses according to their best per- formances. There were seyeral classes where the results might have been different if the stay- aways had been there. During the meet several horses changed hands. Lady Worthy 2nd being sold by Charles Willis, Covehead. to John MacLeod, Yar- rmouth. and Frank McAldufl, act- ing for John Forbes, Fredericton. N B., purchased the two-year-old igi-lding Sanrly Budlong from Bert Younker. Winsloe. He is out of Alestra 2121/4 and is a very likely prospect. Mr. Forbes is the owner of Yankee Girl 2.101-5. Well liicNeill added to his string of harness horses with the purchase of Joey Harvester. a promising pacer by Simcoe Harvester, that has been developed by Harry O'- Brien, Alberton. The weather was not up to Old Home Week standards; for in- stance, on Thursday afternoon there were intermittent showers that kept up from one o'clock on, but some 6,000 race fans braved ft all with a smile. One reason was the deep interest taken 1n tthe classes. particularly the Free For All which had the best field of side-wheelers seen here in years. It was a race for those who watched it closely, with many stirring episodes, close driving, quick getaways and brilliant fin- ishes. Anti-Aircraft, which was in the rear tier getting away from ‘the gate and had to go the over- land, was timed in 2.09 3-5, while the actual time given out for the winning horse, Scott Spencer. was 2.10. Then there was Eddie Scott in the last heat that went the overland route up near the fence and finished quite strong. He had been 3-3 in the previous two heats. With the Starting Gate a lot depends on the getaway and the horse that can get into a good position has a big jump on the others. In our opinion Starter Russell Abbott nnd driver" Bill lViacAusland did a wonderful job with the gate and we particularly liked having George Callbeck to direct the horses to their posit- lons. While 2.10 miles were scarce ‘it must be remembered that weather conditions were not the best when the fast classes were raced; for instance in the FreeFor All Thursday the track was heav- fly soaked with rain and must have caused n slowing up of two seconds. We really thought the time was wonderful in that Free For All under the circumstances. lt was a matter for surprise with us and must have been with many others, that thousands of people would sit through showers of rain for hours. There is certainly no sport that could interest them "that much, or perhaps it is that our people are made of more dur- nble material and can stand the assaults of inclement weather bet- ‘ter than those elsewhere. Every- one was hoping for a fine Friday but instead it was a continuous all through the day with the weather reports not at Ill promising for Saturday. The fastest heat trotted during ‘the meeting was by Brewer's Gal- lon (Campbell), owned by B. C. Crulckshsnk, Hellman-2.10 1-5. The fastest mile paced during the meeting was by Vells Ls Velle (W.

The, With the Old Home Week cel- ebrations, which have predomin- ated local activity all week, com- ing to an end today. the many sporting circles will be picking up the strings where they left off to make way for the week-long p_ro- gram, and will come to life over the week-end to bring things back to a routine basis in their regular schedule of sporting events. o o c The big feature here Sunday will be the opening game of the Junior City Baseball League play- ofls, when the Victorias and the Knights of Columbus squad tan- gle at the Memorial Field diam- ond at Victoria Park, while at the same time at Summerside the Charlottetown Abbies will take the field against the R.C.A.F. nine in their second game of a best of three semi-final playoff series in the Island Baseball League. o - 3 The action should be keen at botih centers when both leagues resume action, with the Knights, winners of the regular schedule, coming out strong to keep up the reputation they have built up this srason by endeavouring to clip the lendofl game from the second place Victorias in this all- important series. while at Sum- merside the Abbies will be out to win their second straight victory from the Air Force and earn a place in the finals against the Curran and Briggs aggregation for the Island title.‘ The R.C.A.F. will no doubt be harboring other ideas. however, and will be n determined outfit when they turn out tomorrow to atone for their first game 5-4 set- back at the hands of the Abbies and will be turning in an all-out effort to even up the series and force it into a third and deciing encounter. - Tennis will a1so' come back to its own again today when, pro- viding the courts will be fit for play, the Charlottetown Tennis Club annual tournament will re- sume play, and will expect to de- clare its winners in iihe men's singles, men's and ladies‘ doubles and mixed doubles over the week end. O O O The Old Home Week racing program which has been in pro- gress here all this week could hardly be termed anything but "outstanding" when crowds at- taining record-breaking proport- ions gathered at the Exhibition track to witness some of the most thrilling track duels to be seen here for many years. with the cream of Maritime trotters nnd pacer: battling it out over Can- ada's finest racing oval in b0“! afternoon and evening sessions for top honors in this annual event which is rated as tops in Maritime horse racing circles; . With every meet scoring s suc- cess all its own as far as stellar racing performances are concern- ed, and giving the attending crowds action-packed entertain- ment at every turn of the track which provided them with enough startling upsets and flashing fin- ishes to last them n life time. the whole program taken collectively has been one of outstanding mer- lt. despite the fact that the recent rain caused the postponement 01 both Thursday night and Friday afternoon and‘ evcninl "mil Although n day isle. with bet- ter wcnther prospects offered for today, the racing fans will still be able to see the final stages of this great race week, when weath- er permitting, the horses will e- gain be taking the word from the official starter for what is expect- ed to be an excellent climax to on excellent week of horse Illlnl entertainment.

Ducks October 1st to November 24th; geese October 20th to December 5th and brsnt November 1st to November 30th. both dates inclus- ive. O O O These are dates that should suit everyone. A few would have liked to have had a somewhat later opening date for ducks but were willing lo concede a week or ten days in order to have both Buns and ducks open on the same day. o - - Gunners who have been advocat- ing a later opening date for geese have at long last had their wishes come true. Having both geese and ducks open on the some dnte meant that we had an open season on geese weeks before there were any geese worth the n-airne to hunt. A few scattered flocks have been seen in past years before October 20th but it. was not until November 1st. or therea-bouts. that the fall flights of geese reached this province 1n anything like shooting numibcrs. lt has been this columnists experi- ence that npproxiznstely 90 per cent of our quota of wild geese have ar- rived by November 15th. O O O They may change their habits this fall and start piling in earlier. Last November it was observed that several thousand geese fed exclusively on the eel grass beds. This habit was particularly notice- able in The Narrows, Hardy's Chan- nel section of Prince OOunty and at New London Bay and ‘rracadle Bay in Queens. Geese have long memories and iis possible that those some geese and their progeny may reach the Island ln late September or early October. Re- member in the old days of eel grass plentitude geese began arriving during the first week of Septem- ber and before the end of the month the flight was over. In the old days I have shot. geese as early as Septcmber 3rd and have it on my records of a flock totalling ln the vicinity of one hundred that dropped into the lake to the south of the old homestead on the night of August 28th or early AM. of the 29th. l O O O Goose hunters will experience s let. down feeling if the old horrkers pull u ‘sandy’ on them this fall. Still old end experienced hunters must realize that the longer birds are left unmolested the fatter they become and the more of their kind they decoy to alight with them. - - o Any geese this columnist shot in September and early October were not fat in the ordinary sense of the term. They were fairly meaty but the goslings in particular made pretty dry eating when compared with late October and November birds. Whether or not the geese come late or early the regulations have now set October 20th as the dead line. That's what you have been asking for boys and you're expected to exercise restraint in the matte-r of early geese. O O O 1 know that there is l.n clement. of temptation when s V of honking Canadas’ swing within range if one is waiting in a duck blind or tramping the stubble fields and swales after Hum and the big black and white birds are not yet legal game. If I judge my hunters cor- rectly any geese that give gtmners the ‘raspberry’ and call out: "Honk. honk, you can't shoot me" will be sticking their necks out in more ways than one. n O O As noted duck hunters are get- ting 8 additional days in which to hunt ducks this fall...I mean B more than last year. This is an- other unexpectcd concession. An- other point I wish to draw to the attention of provinclelhunters: The hunting of wlldgeese is permitted for 11 days after the duck season closes. This means that shooters will have the privilege of legally sitting ln e blind 0n a. marsh or in s stubble field Waiting for wildgecse black ducks stlil with us.
