The annual meeting of District 11, United states Trotting Auoci- ation, was held in the Brunswick Hotel, Moncton, last Monday after- noon. There was a good attendance of owners, drivers and officials. Director Col. D. A. Macxinnon was chairman and Charles L. Clarke of Moncton, was secretary. Director F. C. Mccurdy of Truro, and new- ly elected Director J. H. Dewitt of woodsiock were seated at the head table with the chairman. who read a letter of resignation as Director from Dr. G. C. McCoy who had acted in that capacity for several years. Dr. McCoy stated that ow- ing to the position he occupied it was impossible for him to attend meetings - of directors and he strongly recommended that Mr. Dewitt take his place. The chair- man spoke of the pleasant relations he always had with Mr. McCoy and called on Mr. Dewitt who also . paid tribute to him. The chairman welcomed Mr. Dewitt and said that the Maritimes were fortunate in having a man with his experience in racing and the splendid other qualities he possessed to represent them. Mr. Dewitt spoke briefly in reply. Director 1". C. Mccurdy gave an account of the proceedings at the annual meotinng held in Columbus last December, mentioning the im- mense strides which the U. S.'t.A. had taken in the past few years and the great and beneficial influ- ence it has had on harness racing. The chairman said he noticed that some districts were suggesting that one day 'icences should not be is- sued for starters and presiding judg- es. He called for an expression of opinion from the meeting and sever- al said that because of the number of small tracks in the Maritimcs was often necessary to "W ' i a starter or presiding judge for one day as starters holding full licenses were quite often not available. The meeting went on record as favoring the continuance of one day licenses. The chairman brought up the question of registration of colors. This had first been undertaken by the Grand Circuit on U. 8. tracks It meant a tremendous amount of detail as handpaintings had to be made of each uniform and these were filled with cards of descrip- tion, drivers' names. etc. The Grand Circuit had found the ex- pense very considerable and asked the U. S.T. A. to take it over and reimburse them. It was the opinion at Columbus that if they took over the registration of colors it would be without reimbursement. It may be that registration of colors will be compulsory with a fee attached and that might mean a hardship to drivers who only compete at small meetings and only a few of them. Several spoke on the mat- ter. some favoring the registration and others believing that matters should be left as they are. The chairman reported that the campaign for the registration of horses at the com fee which ex- pired iast year, had been a great success with over 250 horsemen 1 tsking advantage of it. In the future the 35.00 registration fee will be for weanlings only-horses reg- istered the year they were born. He hoped everyone in the Mari- times would hear this in mind. The matter of drivers insurance was taken up at the annual meet- ing in C lumbus and thoroughly discussed. PresidentI.awrenceshep- pard had figures from a number of insurance companies and the low- est quotation was 830 a year. which would give a 95.000 payment on death and 540 a week during nos- pitalization and other benefits. It would be necessary to have 3,000 drivers take advantage of it to se- cure this sao premium. At all the meetings in the United States the matter had been taken up and most of them were in favor of it. but it may be in the Mai-Itimes where we ” have a certain amount of protec- tion of our own and our racing is not so extensive, this fee would be too high. so it was thought the matter should be thoroughly talk- ed over. some present were in fav- gr of the so fee and others wiiouuaci: would not Illiheal to s of drivers here. kn p”un.':xp1ained it would we . .2: lint. "3 ii 9 to take advant- the R.C.M.P.. and the U.s.'1'.A. would also insist that properly qualified chemists in a good labor- atory make the analysts." There was a lot of discussion on the subject and Colonel J. 0. Cal- kin of Woodstock, said that they had been asked by horsemen from Maine to have saliva tests con- ducted at their tracks where many Maine horses have been racing. Of course in Maine they do have the tests. Mr. Dewitt made inquiries and found that he could get the proper officials to take the samples and perform the tests. the figure quoted being 8100 per day. This was considered too expensive so the matter was left in sbcyance. H. M. Sweeney. Bridgewater. thought the tests shouidrbe made and that it would be a forward step. He said he was not operat- ing a track but thought as an owner-driver he -would like to see it come into effect. George 8. Gay of Moncton said that he did not. see any necessity for it. that it would just put an unnecessary ex- pense and worry on the managers of tracks and the horsemen. Bev- ersl others expressed opinions but no definite stand was taken on the matter. A 'number of smaller matters were taken up and then the meet- ing adjourned to allow the hear- ing of three cases by the Board, consisting of directors Macxinnon, Mccurdy and Dewitt. oThe first was an appea against a decision of the judges in a race at Char- lottetown. The judges' decision in this case was sustained. The next was a ease where a driver at the Truro track was considered by the judges not to have tried to win and was fined :50. The judges' ruling seemed to be the correct one until it was found that the horse which the driver said had not acted properly in the race, was (W0 days afterwards drawn, hav- ing been found to be lame The decision was that the 350 fine be remitted and the offence be wiped off the books of the Association. The third case was where a driver at the last meeting at the 'rruro track had used abusive language and struck the presiding judge in the stand. He was award- ed a penalty of two years suspens- ion from driving. The offence is one of the gravest that can be committed at a race track but the directors took into consideration the very fine past record of the driver, his freedom from penalties, his popularity with other drivers and rscegoers and decided that his suspension be cut down to one year. After consideration of the above cases the directors decided to fix the place of the annual meeting for 1962 at the Brunswick Hotel. Moncton, N. B. On motion of hi- rector F.C. Mccurdy, seconded by Director Henry Dewitt, Colonel D. A. Macxinnon was elected to the Executive of U.s.'l'Ji. for District 1.

Among the top winter sporting entertain- ments here each year, large num- bers of parents invariably turn out to see the youngsters in action on these occasions. I U 0 But primarily it is a night for the kids themselves, for it is their op- portunity to see and take part in speed skating, hockey and other added novelty events with others in their own age groups. The spot- iight is focussed on youth at this time, from whose ranks emerge the skating stars and hockeylsts of tomorrow. 3 O 0 While the races are watciiecl with eagerness and enthusiasm and are intended to be the main attraction of the show. it is the hockey game that produces the most exciting and wildest applause. An oldstcr who has happened into the Forum out of ennui on an Ice Sports night, is soon infected and completely carried away by the spontaneous and ear-splitting hysteria that ac- companies a score by the "old School team". It's an experience that every participant of days gone by like to renew each 'year. 0 0 0 These Ice sports programs are useful too. in that they provide funds for the promotion of athletic and social activities for the child- ren throughout the school year. West Kent school authorities in- form us that in the year post, over 5600 was spent entirely on the pupils of the school to provide hoc- key equipment, ice rentals, trips, basketball, bowling, playground equipment, etc. 0 O 0 Those who patronize these sports in any way, are assured that every help so given is used solely to ad- vance the inter-mural activities of the pupils of all grades. Thus. while the raising of funds is not the prime function of the Ice Sports. it is an important by-product con- tributing to the well-being and en- joyment of the students through- out the -whole school year. Preparations. ar.e well advanced to insure an interesting and smooth-running program this year. - Arrangements have been made for proper fire and police protection. Experienced officials have been se- cured to conduct the many events. Over one hundred and sixty con- testants have been selected for the various racing events. 0 O 1 Prince Street School has been invited to ice its senior hockey team against the West Kent aggre- gation. Paul Sharpe and his public address system will insure clear an- nouncing of results and the events to be run off as they come up on the program. Nothing has been overlooked to give those who at- tend a show worthy of the West Kent tradition. It should be top- bracket entertainment all the way. and all that will be needed to in- sure its complete success will be the sporting public's kind and wel- come patronage. O O O i The history of such events in this Province and City is of the high- est calibre of true amateur mort- ing entertainment with the utmost in goodwill and sportsmanship be- ing its keynote. What more then, than this, deserves the wholeheart- ed support of the general public. It is the symbol of Canadian youth Bnd endeavour. so don't be one to miss it.

CHARLOTTETOWN East Royalty Captures Queens County Chiship Talent Scout Siis In On Game last Night Among the some 1,700 hockey fans who sat in on last night's opening game of the M. M. I'LL semi-final playoffs between Island- ers and Moncton Hawks. was one of hockey's most outstanding stars of a past era. in the person of Johnny Gagnon. Known as the "Black Cat" dur- ing his glorious career as a mem- ber of the famed I-lowie Morons- Auriel Joliat-Johnny Gagnon trio of the Montreal Canadiens, Gag- non is here looking over hockey material for the Providence Red.s' hockey club as one of their chief talent scouts. He has a particular interest in Walter Pawlyshyn, Hub Beaudry and Bruno "Red" Favcro, who all came "from the Providence camp to the Islanders last fall. Only Pawlyshyn and Beaudry were seen in action last night as Favero and McLagan were both sidelined with sickness and injuries. Johnny, however, was also re- newing old hockey acquaintances here such as Johnny Squarebriggs and coach Leo'Lamoureux of the Islanders, both of whom he has been associated with during his hockey career. , The "Black Cat" started his pro- fessional career with Providence in 1927 and remained there till me. He went up to Canadiens in 1930 and played ten full seasons with the Flying Frenchmen. Ciagnon, .11- ways a great money player. was at his best in playoff hockey, even overshadowing his famous line- mates in goalgetting. He has been with Providence as a talent scout now for the past seven years. Gagnon plans to take in tonight's second playoff clash between Is- landers and Moncton here, and will leave on return to the mainland on Monday. "Bucko" Trainor Elecled Most Popular Player Wes "Bucko" Trainor, centre- man and team captain of the Is- landers Hockey Club was the choice of Island hockey fans as the most. popular player in a public ballot vote carried on during the regular schedule of the Maritime Major Hockey League, in a. final tally taken here yesterday. Trainor won the honor in .a close race with defenceman Jammy Dut- chak, topping the poll withi325 votes, just 38 over the Islands..- hsrd-hitting and colorful defence- men, while rearguard Phillvitale and forward Danny I-ioreck were close on their heels for third and fourth choices with 283 and 220 votes respectively. The poll was sponsored by Jack Cameron's men's wear store on Kent street, City, who have don- ated s Progress brand tailored suit and accessories to the winner, while it is understood that the runner- up will be awarded an equally val- uable second prizc donated by an- other donor. The final count was taken by in- dependent scrutineers at Mr. Cameron's establishment yesterday afternoon. and the final polling was the largest of any this season, that saw the scrutinecrs wading through and counting hundreds of ballots in the final voting returns. The voting was keen all through the contest. and although the above mentioned four were the big East Royalty Royals won Queens County Intermediate championship last night when they ramped through the Chat- lottetown Abbies for an easy 10-3 win at North River rink. Royals took the two game. total goal ser- ies i'f-6. Ralph shepherd and Hollis Jay led the East Royalty goal getters with three each. Playing coach Cliff Jackson picked up two goals and two assists while Cy Gregory and Ted Bradley scored once. A-bbles shot a goal in each per-, iod. Howard Glover shot the first one, Bill Ledwell the seco ” and young scantlebury completed the Abbie scoring. Frank Roper in the East Roy- alty nets turned in another out- standing performance. Time and the ..A.. again the sandy haired net mind- er stopped ibbie forwards on his door step. East Royalty paid heavily for their win as they probably lost the services of one of their best defencemen, Ed Code for the re- mainder of the seascn. Code suf- fered a severely cut leg that re- quired more than twenty stitches to close. Royals swept into a 3-1 lead in the flrstiperiod on two goals by Jay and one by Shepherd. They made it 5-2 at the close of the sec- ond cn goals by Jackson and Bradley. lshepherd scored two. Gregory, Jay and Jackson one in .the final stanza. Royals will next meet Summer- side Crystals in,the Island play- offs for the Intermediate "A" crown. The first game will prob- ably be piayed in Summerside Tuesday night.

I've seen between 100 and 800 geese in Trac- adie Bay on March 5th in the old days. The same spring on March 17th I estimated there were ap- proximately 17.000 geese along a three-mile stretch of open clfsnnel. Many birds -were in the water but thousands of others lined both edges of the ice. wudgeese are moving Reliable information indicates that there are hundreds of geese in the Bay at the present time. It seems strange not to be on the move as usual this spring when the geese are on their northward migration. An old spring goose shooter stopped me on the street the other day. He queried: "Are you sure you'll not be out at Trac- adie this spring?" "I don't figure I will be", was my reply. The talk turned to 'the old days. He said to me: "Twenty-one years ago this spring you nearly drowned mo in the Channel off the Black Bush. I was out in a goose boat when I spotted you coming on that big black horse you used to ride. I had to cross the channel in the goose boat to avoid.being cornered, and a l.eav Nor'wester swamped the boat jus as I was across and landed me in ice cake covered wat- er up to my chin. 10 feet further out and I'd have had it." He had a great laugh out of the incident. I remembered the incident quite clearly but at the time had noidee of who the gunner was. I could see his black head bobbing up and down amid the cakes and had an anxious few oments. He made an escape for I couldn't put a horse where he took the gonse boat. Goose hunters took some awful chances in spring shooting in those days. Being a game warden twen- ty-odd years ago was a far differ- ent businesa from what it is today. Spring shooting was quite the luc- rative business in those times and hunters resented very much hav- lng their sport interfered with. I remember one April afternoon I was in the Johnston's River dis- trict and wanted to cross the river to the Marshfield side. The East River was a tricky spot to crods when the ice was beginning to break up as there were a lot of spring holes in some sections. I rode into a farmyard and inquired of a farmer if he considered it safe to cross. He was stony-eyed and wasn't cracking any smiles and I was agreeably surprised when he gave me explicit instructions. I was to take off from the Redroint road shore but wasnt to cross in a straight line. He gave me land- marks to go by. I wondered why he took so much pains for I knew he enjoyed spring wild goose: As I turned to ride out of his yard I spoke a brief "Thank you". His reply rather stumped me: 'Don't thank me. I was thinking of the horse...not YOU." My horse, Prince. was s. bddutiful coal black Westernilrcrcheron. He wMI!'t loan as some Percherons are but was as light on his feet as any cat. It's a good job fur.me that this particular farmer was a lover of horse flesh. This past week I met ii sports- man friend of mine from the western section of the Province- summerside to ,be exact-I've known him for ii considerable num- ber of years and have been on his trail more than ones. He never made any pretence about being an out and out game law observer. If I was smart enough to catch him. well and good. We are friends nevertheless. ......

The scene will shift to Moncton on Tuesday nights for the third Playing from behind all night and outplayed by a decided mar-, gin for two periods. the Hawks made every break of the same count to garner their victory. Islander. held a 1-0 lead at the and of the first period on a goal by Phil Vitals, assisted by Jack Morrow and Bucko Trainor. Moncton tied it up at 1-1 in the second frame on Dalton Bark- well's breakaway. with Lorne Smith and Larry Dunville get- ting assists. lllanders went in front again in the early stages of the final session when Walter Pawlyshyn scored on an assist from Trainor, but goals by Joe Delmonto and Fred Denny were the tying and winning counters that sent Moncton on to victory- Rod McKenzie and Dunvllle as- sisted on the winning effort. The game was cleanly played that only brought forth nine minor awards, five going to Is- lenders and four to Moncton. Game Opens Fast Right from the opening whistle the Islanders , ned up with a terrific onslaught that had Malic- ton in a quandary. but a cool and steady Les Colvln in tho Mpncton cage cs.ine up with an outstanding performance that he continued through all three sessions. In the first minutes of play Colvln haml- led nine close-in. dangerous shots without one getting by him. But he couldn't stem the powerful bar- rage that the Islanders displayed. and at the 7:57 mark Vitale fired home the opening counter in a power attack around the Moncton cage with Morrow and Trainor Both of the latter players had shots blocked by Colvln before Vitaic finally flipped one over him. Con- tiniring to bottle Hawks up behind their own blueline. with the occas- ional open break, Colvin barred the door to all further scoring when he kicked rubber out from every angle to stymie a hard-pressed Is- landers crew. -Colvln handled 16 shots on the frame. while Gordon was only compelled to handle half that number. Playing a man short at the start of the second session, on a carry over tripping penalty to borne Smith in the dying -seconds of the first period, Moncton made the situa- tion pay off. Playing every man up inside the I ” " w the one man advantage, Isl d were putting on a real power play that back-slapped and gave Monc- ton their first goal at 2-.oo, to dead- lock the score. Jumping on the ice ' from the penalty box at the expir- ation of his time, Smith intercept- ed sn iced puck by Dunville. that he relayed over to Dali; Barkwell at centre ice to send him right in on Gordon all alone. Coming out of his net to meet Barkwell's rush, Hal Gordon was caught out of pos- ition. and Bu-kwell just sidestep- ped him iobang it into the open not for a smart scoring effort. De- spite the fsct that Islanders out- shot Moncton 15-6 on the frame, Islander-s.were unable to dent the armor of Colvln. The third period came up with a terrific seulon, with bothsqiiads going wide-open on the play. Walt Pawlyshyn sent the Islanders in front again on a. powerful attack with Trainor around the Moncton - net. Tralnor centered the puck out that was deflected into the net. what looked to be off Paw- lyahyn's skate. About the six- iriinute mark. Marcel Clements broke up a Moncton bash at their own bluslins. to go right in on Colvln and beat him cleanly. but the goal was blown down by the referees on an offside play. At 7:09. Joe Delincnte let go, a high so.-eened- shot from just outside the Islanders bliielivie that was too hot for Gordon to handle that put Moncton once again on a tie basis with the Islanders. Prom the Press box. the seal looked to be an off-side play by a country mile. but the referees didn't see it that way and allowed the goal despite Drotsst. A Moncton player was out of Islanders sons alarm the left boards and was a road in or fifteen not inside the bluellns when Delrnonte fired the sh:-f from outside the blueline.
