. T? (_ »~‘ ‘ Bay, norm. nil-z i BAGK srnrrcli Lats last week and early this we“ people were arriving from all parts of the Msritknes, Cen- tral Canada, and the United States to get comfortably settled for Old Home Weak and Provin- gin] Exhibition. This combined fixture which was originated in 1040 and held continuously slnee. has developed an attendance [ygwiflg power that has astonish- ed everyone from abroad who some: here. The {Montreal Stan- lsrd, sensing its news and pict- orial significance, have n story writer and pictorial artist here and numerous other publications are interested too. Well, it is something to talk about, The fact that in the confines g1 some 30 acres, almost one-sixth s! the population of the Province will be congregated either stand- ing up cheering the close finishes sf the harness races, watching the vaudeville, the judging of the cat- tle, or taking in the amusements on Bill Lynch's Midway _. shows the tremendous appeal Old HOme Week has, It.is the great holiday week and the nearest thing to it we know of is Lexington, Keri- tucky, during the futurity races there each fall. The Directors this year planned carefully and put on a racing program so pc-pular it was filled to over-flowing, necessitating two night's racing and four classes on jflCh of the four afternoons of August 10th to 13th, making a total of 22 classes. The starting gate was used for the first time hem during afternoon meets. It was the same gate that had been used at Moncton a few weeks pre- vioushl. The majority of the starts were good but there was n dis- agreement over one particular start that caused considerable controversy. The starters position is not an enviable one, neither is that of the judges and due thought should be given to the tension which they are continually experiencing and tho fact that it is not possible to meet the emer- gencies which may occur st a race meet. 0n Tuesday the attendance was sacellent. The opening crowd of 6.000 harness racing fans must halve been quite up to previous years records. Our space only per- mits a brief review of each day. The lvour Year Old Futurity had eight starters and was s straight heat victory for Billy Mcvey, owned by Dr. Temple Hooper, Charlottetown, and driven by Walter Craig. The fastest heat was 2.12 2/5 — s new record for Billy. The Victoria Driving club 2.10 Trot had eight starters and was a straight heat victory for Marion L., owned by George Bemple, Kensington, and driven ‘by Tyndall Semple. But time 2.18 2/5. Carvell Bros‘ 2.29 Pace First Division was won by Miss Bonnie Grattan, owned by Harry Hirsch o: Sydney, and driven by George Iewis. Bebe Britten (Thompson) won the first and. fastest heat - 2.16 2/5. The Per- fection Ice Cream 2.19 Pace First Division was s straight heat vic- tory for Colonel Dan, owned by Stevenson and McKinnon, Glace with driver MacDonald up. Baldrits (Birt) was 2-2-2, best time 2110 2/5 -'— a new record for colonel Dan. A crowd estimated at 10.000 wit- nessed the Wednesday afternoon's program. Just as the horses were being called a downpour o-f fnln occurred that continued for over half an hour. When it stopped, dozens of automobiles were prese- ed into service, driving around the track. This method and old Sol gave a fairly safe c-val by four °'°l°'<1l4. but it was after seven o'clock when the races finished, The Prowse Bros. 2.25 Trot had six starters. Dixie Belle B, (Hay. rison) won the first heat in 2.1014, Buddy Budlong (Stead) the see- ond in 2.17 and Billy Aubrey won the third and glso the final heat, ibest time 2.16. He i5 (filmed and was driven by Cyril Smith, Hun- ter River. Corney Brcs. 2.27 Pace was won by Shy Ann 2nd with 1-1-1. She is owned and was driv. en by A.E. Phillips, O'Leary. The Hughes Drug Co. Free For All Trot was one of the most pop- ular events of the two afternoons. The track was still heavy when the first heat was called shortly after four o'clock. Nell Kalmuck, going away in sixth position raced right around sthe field and took the lead shortly after the quart- er was passed and held on,‘ to it right to the wire, with Fast Train finishing at her neck. time 2.13 1/5 —quite fast for the comiitions. e The next heat Nell made n break going away and Fast Train won in 3.1.1 4/5, with Marjorie Hnnover a close, second. In the third belt Nell Kalmuck got away badly but made up a lot of ground and clos- ed very fast, being just beaten half a neck in 2.11 2/5. Fast Train 2.05 was formerly owned by Dr. Thompson of Boston and was considered one 0f Mil bell- V09‘ ters in New England a few years ago. He is owned by EH. Irving, Shedlac, and was driven by Joe Hennessey. Nell Kflfluek l5 owned and was driven by Willard Kelly, Southport. The DeBlois Bros. 225 Pace was quite a con- test with Professor Ciegg winning the first heat, Quick Lick second. The second lrat was an absolute dead heat as shown by the photo finish, between Professor Clegg and Quick Lick. Quick Lick won the third heat and then the race was carried over until Thursday when Quick Lick won the fourth and deciding heat. Quick Lick is owned by John Harkness Sr., Summerside, and was driven by Len O'Meara. Professor Clegg is owned and driven by 'T.E. Han- kinson, Middleton, NB. The horses were called for the night races at nine o'clock and a crowd estimated between 1.1 and l2 thousand was present - said to be one of the largest if not the largest night attendances on record. The DeBlois Bros. 2.35 Pace Second Division was won by Dick Budlong, owned by D.M. MacAuiay, Pugwash, with driver Mundle up. Billy P.C. Parker (I-Iankinson) won the first heat. Best time 2.13 1/5 — I. new rec- nrd for Dick Budlong.

Seven good paces-s lined up back of the gate. Scott Spencer won the first heat in 2.09 with True Hal s very close 591301111. GI)’ Law third. McKlyo Cash got away badly and was not a factor. In the second heat Mo. Klyo Cash beat he gate by a considerable ma in and mgde every post a winning one, stepping 1n 2.06 3/5 - the fastest heat of the meeting, with Scott Spencer second.

O O I Yesterday's scheduled card will be carried out in its entirety with all thirty entrants in the four classes taking part and the sa.me high class racing together with the many thrills that have already been experienced should be witness- ed once more as the curtain rings down on the 1948 program. o o s Once again we take the oppor- tunity of extending to the various officials congratulations on the fine show they staged. The length of the racing program was enough to task the ingenuity of anyone and the manner 1n which it was run off speaks well for the effici- ency of the planning and runnin! of it. All concerned came through with fine performances and the Old Home Week program now con- cluding has more than lived up to the fine reputation of previous shows that have preceded it. O O O Harness race followers and all horsemen today are expressing keen regret at the extent of the injuries suffered by lsorne Kelly when thrown from his sulky in the second heat of the 2.23 pace on Thursday afternoon. It was thought at first that his injuries were not of s. very serious nature but x- rays taken yesterday showed seven broken ribs on each side in addit- ion fc s fractured shoulder blade. O O I Imne will be hospitalized for a lengthy time but all who know the popular figure will be pulling strongly for him to come out better than ever. Small in stature Lorne. nevertheless. possesses loads of the courage that is pazt and parcel of all drivers in the game and a1. though s shed up pretty badly that same ourage will enable him to pull through the test he is now facing. O O I Baseball after a lapse of a week swings back into the sports picture tomorrow afternoon when Freddie McCabes All Stars tangle with Summerside All Stars in an exhibit- ion fixture that might well be a preview of what fans can expect when hhe game two squads oppose each other in the Island inter- mediate playdowns. O l O These exhibition games give the managers a chance to decide on their starting lineups when the chips are down in the playoffs. Both clubs are well stocked with players all on an equal footing as far as ability is concerned and it is the ones that can stand up under pressure that are selected when the final test comes. O O O Usually there is a large number of players used but notwithstand- ing that the encounters always produce s keen. closely contested brand of baseball. That has been proven in the two games that the squads have met in so far this season and tomorrow's encounter should even exceed their first two meetings in every respect as play- ers on both clubs have now the added benefits of a season's corn- petition in their respective leagues. O O I Starting Monday night the junior league swings 'back into action followed on Tuesday night with the intermediates and from there to the finish fans will have the privilege ‘of witnessing five games a week. Knights in the junior league and Millionaires in the inter- mediate loop still have msthematic. al changes of getting into the play- offs; both are faced with stiff tasks and in the opinion of close follow- ers of both leagues will fail' to make the grade. However the teams entering the playoffs should be decided by the tl-me next Friday night's game is concluded. O O O with Montreal Royals spread- esgling the field in the Interna- tional League baseball race, the Montreal Star's Lloyd McGowan paused the other day for s recount of the managers who have guided that club since it was organised in 19R. Tile record isn't too resssur. ing for either their present pilot. Clay Hopper, or any others look- ing for fairly steady employment as s manager. It rates with the Chicago Black Hawks‘ history in hockey. O I O operating there have been no few- er than 13 managers. McGowan has been recording the club's activities over that span and rates George Stsllings. "the Miracle Man" and first pilot of the club, as the most interesting character of them all. But Btnllings never finished his first season; he was stricken wi s heart ailment at Toronto an in IANAGIIIINI. - B0117. his Lilli died the following winter. O I O In the n years Royals have been A e Braving continuous rain that started shortly after the event got underway, s. crowd of fans that again packed the stands and over- flowed into the centre field were on hand last night for the Old Home Week night racing program and despite the heavy track and unfavorable weather conditions they saw keen. close racing ali the way with every one of the eight heats raced producing stir- ring stretch battles and in many cases close finishes. Feature event on the card, the third division of the 2:25‘ Pace. went to Joe Louis Volo. in an up- set win as he won the first two heats before being headed to the wire in the final by Sugar Har- vest. campaigner. Basil Hanover. led the field home in both dashes of the event. In a Classified Pace Peter Budlong won the first heat while Eleanor G. won the second _miIe. Mac Fingo headed the field in the stretch 1n the one dash Classified Trot and Pace, the fourth event on the program. So heavy was the track becom- lng toward the end that it was found necessary to dispense with the starting gate, presiding judge Dr. F. C. Dougan taking over the starting duties and getting the events off just as a downpour of rain got underway. In coming through with hisup- set win in the 2:29 Pace, Joe Louis Volo, after being in a trail- ing position for over half the first mile. moved out to the front on the sceond turn the second trip around and from there on was never headed. although he was all out in staying off the closing drives of Linda Darnell and Nature Boy as the remainder of the field fought it out a. couple of lengths back. . Away on high the winner lead the field around to the back- stretch. Linda. Darnell, making an early bid raced neck and neck with the winner right around to the half before having to fake back, but she came on again in the stretch and with Sugar Har- ves/t also moving into the picture the three came down to the wire almost on equal terms. with Joe Louis Volo again getting a head to the good and Sugar Harvest nipping second place a stride in front of Linda, with the remain- der pretty well strung out be- liind. Sugar Harvest, going sway on the rail with Joe Louis Volo on the outside. made every post a winning one in the final mile. At the half the race winner was up on even terms on the outside and they battled it out right around to the wire but this time Sugar Harvest had too much pace left for the Volo horse. Basil Hanover in the two dashes of the Classified Trot. had too much for the field. The-old carn- paigner, formerly owned here, never lifted a nose inleither heat. In the first mile he waited to make his move at the three- quarters to trot around Jolly Harvester. Baron stepped into the picture also in the stretch and the three made a pretty picture as they fought it out every inch of the way, but Basil was just too good. Basil took the field.away on the first score in the second mile. Again Jolly Harvester raced right to the front. Basil made his move earlier this mile, starting it on the back stretch on the first trip to take over the lead at th_e three quarters and from there just trot- ted away from the field. Jolly Harvester was again runner-up. Peter Budlong and Eleanor G. won n dash apiece in the Classl- fled Pace. In the first one Peter, going away very fast, had the rsil at the first turn and made every post a winning one. Corning down the stretch the field was pretty well bunched. with Miss Knox coming on to get within half s length of the-winner, and Eleanor G. moving up to third. Eleanor G. continued her fine pacing in the second dash to turn the tables on Peter Budlong. Peter was of'l' fo front again but in the drive from the three quart- ers home the McNeill-driven mare took over the lend to outpace the remainder through the stretch. with Wait N'See coming very-fest to head Peter Budlong at the wire for the second place. In the other event on the pm- gram. a Classified Trot and Pace snd handled the club from 19H in ‘i932 for the longest stay of any of the Royals‘ lengthy list of man-ag- ars.

In a few weeks stocks of grain will be seen dot- ting fields wherein the golden stubble gleams, and when that occurs one feels a pang of regret to know that summer is past and autumn is with us. Driving along country roads in mid-August, as night falls, the old duck and goose shooters feel a quickenlng of the pulse as they gaze at a. dusky horizon rimming an old familiar river or marsh and imagine they see long spidery skeins of black ducks or the old familiar V of wildgeese outlined against the fading sunset.
