O + -l- + The new board of directors of flu Provincial Exhibition are mak- ing many changes to the grounds. buildings and track. The latter has been gone over with a giant bulldozer and thousands of loads of clay have been taken out of flue gutter next to the inner rail and spread over the track. 'I‘be turns have been cut down consid- erably and the whole track scari- nod to a depth of over a foot. The finishing touches are being put on today by caretaker Bill McAusiand and a number of helpers. From all appearances it will be a very fine track to train or race over, with possibly new records being set up at Old Home Week. Pres- ent marks are 2.051’. pacing. by 3nd Wenger.

Johnny Conroy, Billy McManus. Angie Allen and other Their horses are in grand shape and have been on the go for the past six weeks but iio miles better than 2.30 had been stepped. Many questions were asked about the “!slanders" and many of them are locking forward to being with us Old Home Week August 12th to 15th. O O O Our friend Dick Egan very fre- quently remembers us with clip- pings of interest to ‘horseme-i. From a recent one we glean that the start of the local harness season at Roosevelt Raceway near New York l: almost arrived and there are hundreds cf horses stabled at the track. which means that the track is filled with them from early morning until mid- afternoon. Steve Phillips. well known starter, gives lessons each morning with the Phillips gate which starts its second year at tlie Raceway. It responds to every wbim of its inventor. There is a practice track adjoining the regu- lar half-mile racing strip and it is there that practically all the horses get their training work- outs. O O Ono of the best. liked colts is Uncle Ben. a two-year-old pacer in the Warren Dennis stable. He is almoct a replica of Blnsign Hanover, that was the greatest money winning two-year-old oi i945. The sire of Uncl: Ben i: Billy Direct 1.55. world's champion pacer, and hi: dam 1: Vivian Hon- over by Guy McKinney 1.58%. Steve Phillips tells the story of how Billy Direct set tho world's record at 1.55 back in 1938 at Lex- ington. As Steve tells ‘ltn-"Billy Direct was one of the finest hor- ses that ever made a start. He could alway: be counted cn to be ready when I called the word Go and sounded the bell. On this day at Lexington Billy twice wont a-' way fino but the rest of the field. of five or six homes were not ready. The third time they went away fine but as I sounded the bell I noticed Billy Direct on a break. Needless to say he w:s "shut out" to the consternation of the fans. Later in the day the owners of the horses asked that he might make tho try against time. His record breaking per- formancc appeased the crowd. who earlier bad been unhappy about the start. given him. l-fis record of 1.55 still stands and he is now on: of the most sought- after sires." O O O O Interesting to record are the miles reported from Roosevelt Speedway. which of course bear no comparison to those locally as that track opened a. couple of months ago and the horses were practically ready even then. most of them having been trained down south or in the west. Frisky Lee stepped in 2.10 with : quarter in 30 seconds; Clark Hanover in 2.10. quarter in 31; Cardinal Abba end Uncle Ben in 2.16; J. T. Barnes in 2.12; summ Sun and Keen Hanover in 2.00; Royal Light In 2.17. O O O O We regret tc note the death of one of the greatest drivers of lioppled pacers the world has ever known-Charles A. Valentine, which occurred at Grove, Ohio, May 4th. “Vallie" bad almost reached tho eighty mark and from his earliest boyhood he was with horses. Ha received very lit- tle schaoling as a boy but later was happily married to an intel- ligent woman who kept his books. taught him reading and writing and helped him all through life.

By a vcte of 24 to 4 a Resolution lo htivc the duck season open o-n QCIDJCZ‘ 15th u'lth_.a cut in the daily liai: limit from 12 to 8 and a season limit reduced from 150 lo 100 was passed by a representative group of sportsmen that comprised 15 new members from country dis- trlcts. No mention was made of the closing date. If Ottawa allows one month it will naturally close on November 15th. If the unexpecmi 6 weeks is granted gunners will be allowed to shoot ducks legaily until the last of November. I I I The first resolution presented to the meeting asked that tl~e season on ducks open on October lst and close on November 30th. with a previse that if the full two months was not. allowed that two weeks be taken off the month of October. This resolution came under heavy fire as it was felt by the majurit: of gunners present that it was o.’ no advantage to ask for more Iran we expected to get and that nicn- ironing October 1st as the open- ing date would only result in con- fusing the issue. Morley Bell, M. I... A.. Summerside. spoke Slfmlpif; in favour of a shorter season as he felt that even 6_wecks was I0‘!!- er than we should ask consider- ing the current continental duil: shortage. I I I Mr. Bell's remarks carried wegh‘. with the meeting but it was a foregone conclusion when the Fow- nal 1700p marched into the Hall four deep that any hopes a few 7:‘ llle die bards held for an openmg date on October 1st. was absolute- l_v squelched.

I I I It ls now common knowledge that scores of fishermen from the sister provinces partake of tho good angling afforded by our ponds and streams without the formality of purchasing a $2.00 Non-resident o ense and it. is gratifying to noun that Police are paying more at- tention to this phase of the ‘ic- ense business. Formerly when an officer found a visitor to the o o- vince angling without a license lie was issued with one and the fee was collected.
