Alexander, Saint John, N. B., May 27th, and James W. Power of Halifax, N. S., July 9th. Mr. MacDonald was bom in Ver- non 67 years ago and lived in Char- lottetown for many years wnere he was a successful auctioneer. Death came as a result of pneumonia. He had been ill only a few days. He was a men with a remarkable mem- ory and knew horse lore of this Province probably better than any one of his generation. He was also well acquainted with the breeding of most of the great trotters and pacers of the United States and Canada. He possessed a command- ing presence, a splendid voice and as an announcer was without a peer. He labored wiohout stint towards the promotion of the harness horse sport, helpl to get the course ready on the ce even on the coldest days, and was always present to act in some capacity when there was araoe on. Flew men could best him in an argument because he was always well posted. Few have been more mised than the genial J. A. and visitors during Old Home Week said things did not seem the some about the track because he was not at his accustomed post notify- ing the horsemen that. their race was on. W. J. Alexander was a. mun who had bettered the biblical span of tl-iree-score-years-arJ-tcn, yet love of horses was just as keen no ever during his lifetime and he had actually been around among the horses in the stable giving dlrec-' tions for their aare almost prior to his death. A few years ago he dmve all over the Maritime circuit with that good pacing mare Grandma. 2.09 1-2. He possessed a very even temperament and always accepted victory or defeat. with composure.

Power . .. .No write! on turf topics was better known throughout the length and breadth of America than-as he was 1am.- lliarly known—“Jinnnie" Power. For almost forty years he was on the staff of the Acacliim Recorder, Halifax, and his sport: column ivau widely read, his harness horse rac- ing reports particularly, because liq was the acknowledged authority o; that subject. He was equally at home writing of almost any other sport. Island boys were always fav- orites with Mr. P0“ or, and. athletes, football teams and hockey teams received their just due and more from him. 1t was the same ivith harness racing . . . "What did Jimmie Power soy" was the ques- tion? 5o it was not surprising that‘. when the Acadia/ii Recorder discon- tinued publication the Halifax Her- ald should secure his services. His sport column was widely read and 11E Annual Review of Marltlmq Racing which he published for fif- ty yea-rs was authoritative and cor- rect to the last: detail. Harness horse papers all over America pub- lished it. His death came suddenly and in this ma» Grim Reaper dealt: kindly with htm because he had al- ways enjoyed splendid health. Hr has left a. void that cannot be filled. and he will always be held mosti dear in t/he memory of his family, horsemen friends and acquaintan- ces everywhere. The above concludes m: Review of Harness Racing and the events in connection with it for the year 1940. What the coming year will hold in store we know not. We have confidence, however. that our mili- tary and naval forces will again conquer the warlike Hun. In doing so we will all be called upon to P15? seine Port.

The hamess horse sport k of def- inite value psychologically, I-t pm- vides an outlet whereby our pent up emotions can release themselves. You must have noticed that during Old Home Week. That was the week Hitler hacl announced ho would, conquer Britain. No doubt some slight uneasiness must have 1mm felt. by everyone prior to that date, because all his prerioiis boasts ‘had come true: but. by the indoiiiitzililo efforts of the British Navy and the Rioyal Air Force his invading legions were shnttcred and destroyed ere they had left. the ports of embarks.- tion.
