B. Cutcliffe is one of the beet he has ever owned. / IIII Tobias Mullins of St. Peters ls now the owner of Ima Kslmuck I14, formerly owned by Cyril Deuphinee, Halifax. If the st. Pet- er's track meterializes with Mr. llullins and David Pratt as co- managers it is iiireiyibiat Ima. will be raced this-season, but the reel Idea behind the purchase is to breed her as she has all the quali- tiee of a high class brood mare in addition to being a granddaughter of Ima Jay 2.04 1-4. one of the greatest trotters that ever raced on the Grand Circuit. I I I I Arthur B. McGee of Augusta. Maine. made a rush trip here ear- ly in the week and purchased three slow-class trotters and a pacer. From Andrew Perry. Surnmerslde. who is also the breeder, he bought Waiter D. by Slmcoe Harvester 3.04 1-2. dam, Margaret Jean 2.10 1-4. From Allison Carr he bought Bonnie Kalmuck by Kalmuck 2.15 1-3. dam. Edith Aubrey. Bonnie wee bred by Earl Hogg. From My- ron MacArthur he bought Pearl Frisco by Lusty Frisco 2.07 l-4. dun, Helen Set. by Longset. Pearl wee bred by Ed Sobey. and from Donald Callbeck he bought Sister Ann by Abner T. Clegg 2.04 l-2. dam. Guy Ann ‘$.12. . The four young trotters and pec- ere selected by Mr. McGee are ex- ceptionally well-bred, well-de- veloped and of handsome appear- ance. They will be carefully gone ever no doubt when they arrive at Augusta race track but we are con- fident that they wll show up well t: the company of the finest youHB- sbere produced at Walnut Hall. Hanover shoe Farms. Village Farm and other great establishments from which practically 100 per cent of the race horses in Maine have been secured. No doubt through Mr. McGee's prescience. eyes are turned to the “Kentucky of Can- ada." We sincerely hope that he will have the best of luck with all his purchases as he is one of our stock through his representative, Myron Mac- Arthur. I I I A phone call came through to Lester Johnson. Fortune, from Carey Grant, I-loulton, Maine, a few evenings ago stating that the two-year-old by Playdale 2.04 1-2. out oi Dude Potempkin 2.0‘! 1-4. that he had bought from him on a stormy night in February last, had worked a comfortable mile in 2.40, andhe wanted to purchase the i945 foal‘ of‘ Dllfle‘ Potempldn. Mr. and Mrs. Rankin Mcuaine accompanied by friends, left on a motor trip yesterday for Quebec City and Montreal. where they will take In the races at Richelieu track, then to Saratoga. N.

The one largely planned by him which is now under construction. will be com- pleted by the time he returns and will be tried out over the Char- lottetown oval. t I I I I Leonard Barrleau, Centre Acadia 1LT], one oi the most regressive wfldgpf, has purchased two farms at Ilekeburn. four miles from trottere. It will contain 20 box stalls. Heading the farm stud ros- ter will be Federal p, 2.10 1-4. t, 2.04 i-l by Peter the Brewer 2.02 l-2. Federal will be transferred there the second week in June, the remaining sixteen head when the barn is finished. Mr. Barrieau has extended en invitation to the writer and to any horseman to pay him a visit when in or near that section of N. B. With the list of brood mares owned by hlm and such a high-class stallion as Fed- eral, he should be a real rival of our Province in the production of good trotters and pacers. I I I I Dr. W. J. Lamond. Sydney Mines. N. 8.. owner of Basil Hanover, 2.04 3-4. hes decided to accede to a re- quest of owners of selected brood mares for his stallion's services. Among others already bred to him are Grace Abbey and Verna L. Grattan. The latter was formerly owned and bred by Col. J. P. Hooper. Grace Abbey, it will be re- membered, was brought here some years ago by Alderman frank Adams and is one of the best cred in the Provinces. It is the inten- tion of Dr. Lamond to give light training to Basil Hanover this spring with a possibility of racing him later on in the season. I I I I We have to thank our friend George N. Welock. Secretary of the Southern New Brunswick Harness Racing Circuit. for a report of the recent meeting of representatives of Moncton. Fredericton. Wood- stock St. Johnbnd St. Stephen tra . As a result a very fine cir cult has been formed which calls for thirteen weeks of racing with meets of from two to four days duration. Maximum entrance iee will be 8 per cent with no deduc- tions.

I I I I Not for a long while have fans shown so much interest. Lest year the game showed definite signs that it was on its way back to its former popularity after bowing to softball during the war years but in the next four months officials close to the heart oi matters fully expect the pastime to definitely get back on a solid footing that will not only endure but strengthen in succeeding seasons. I I I I Not the least item in the creat- ing of the interest has been the building of the new diamond. Held up by bad weather officials have been getting in every hour possible during the last few days to gel. the field in playing condition for in- morrowts game and as dark was settling last night it appeared as if they would attain their objective providing of course conditions are favorable today. I I Last night the infield was rolled and the outfield seeded. This morn- ing the outer gafdens will be roll- ed and the huge backstop com- pleted. Dugouts are also expected to be ready and when the new ad- dition to the stands are" placed ln position the big majority of the work will have been completed. The diamond will not show up at its best for the opening games but once minor details have been straightened out and the grass makes its appearance the entire setup will be equal to anything of its type in the Marltimes and a credit to all those responsible for it. . ' ‘ Much interest has been taken in the progress of the new ball dia- mond. Every evening large num- bers of sports followers have been viewing the work going on and nearly 100 per cent have placed their stamp of approval on the grounds. Many deserving tributes have been heard from the rank and file and the time is now draw- ing near, after months of arduous work and at time discouraging set- backs that the City and Province can boast one of the finest ath- letic fields in the Marltimes and it has been something that has been sorely needed. I With the falling into disuse oi the Abegweit Grounds a good many years ago athletics. especial- ly track and field started a head- long plunge to the lowest depths. As the years wore on it appeared as if they would never come back but in the post war years and with tor Bill Reid things began to perk up. Through Director Reid's efforts work on Memorial Field was begun. I I I I Even then with setbacks being expereincod little interest was be- lng shown. In some quarters it was felt that it would never be com- pleted but Reid stuck to his guns. rle. 2 Glseslfled Pace 12.24 Pace 12.20 ‘I'm l Pace GREAT DAYS RACING SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I.

It was the same all over. 7 care were parked on the smell space on Fortune wharf and along the highways bordering the old reliable fishing spot: It was nothing unusual to count is care and trucks lining the roadside. This columnist checked a lot of anglers. approximately 100 re- sident ones, and there was only one without the necessary license. 90% took no chance on having their day spoiled. Non-resident anglers on the other hand are inclined to take chances on slip- ping over ior the weekend. and slipping beck again with a. creel full of trout, without the formal- ity of purchasing a Non-resident angling license that only costs $2.00. To date two out of every three non-resident anglers check- ed were found to be delinquent. Maybe this was 111st an off day but unless more than 35% of vis- itlng fishermen purchase licenses as required by ‘the Game Act there will be a lot of them contri- bute to the Provincial Treasury.
