Great Interest Shown In Horses At Local Track

Yesterday was workout day for mast of the horses at the race m,“ and practically every one of the upwards of 70 racing steeds were given preparatory mp5 to condition them for the weed frays on Wednesda and Thursday afternoons. Visitors were aplenty and out-of-towners from Bu over the Maritimes were on hand, too, to swap stories or tall: about their favorite horses. There was nothing sensational in the line o; pacing or trotting times. Each trainer was saving that kind of stuff for the battles in mid-week. The best this writer clocked was a niile in 2:22 with an eighth in 15 seconds.

There is a lot of interest being taken in the St. Stephen owned widow's Pride.- 2:06, son of Abbe- dale. 2:01 1-2, and that great rac- 111g mare. Widow Grattan, 2:00. Many will remember her great battles in the 525.000 stakes at wmdaor, Conn., and Kalamazoo, Mich" Qainst her half-brother. Grattan Bars. 1:59 l-2. Widow Grattan would have won some $50,000 or $00,000 that year but for the fact she was Just a shade less speedy than Grattan Bars. Widow's Pride that will race in the Free- For-All Wednesday is a beautiful- 1y built horse wth asensational hunt d speod. His trainer-driver says ho b short of work, having been let down since racing in Saint John on Llbor Day and he doesn't expect to b~.-at'2:06. If so he'll mve to place behind Jollity. 2:05 1-4. Rhea Mea. 2:04 3-4, and pew McKinney. 2201 1-2. Lew Mc-

- Kimmy is quite a different horse

to what he was Old Home Week .and there are a lot of people back- ing him up. pointing to his lialf- mlle in 1:01 l-4 lli the Free-for-

tings, horses, etc. Johnny never lpuffs up his horses, in fact is in- clinod to bc rather modest, so would make no Predictions as to iwhere he will land.

I Joe 0'Brien‘s stable looks stronger than it was Old Home Week and it should cut quits a

fiflllre.

The St. Stephen representation, headed by the John D. Mehan, horses that will start with widow's Pride tops. They expect to make their presence felt in practically every race on the program.

A horse whose entry was, re- grettabiy. received too late for Old Home Week, Symbol Harry. 2:09 1-2, owned by G. D. Fraser. Dartmouth, N. 3., will make his first appearance hers in class No. 4 on Wednesda . He will bear watching for alt ough he is free- legged he likes the track and is liable to pace in 2:11 or 2 .

One of the best races of the en- tire card will be the No’. 6 01.15- sified trot with some eight or nine starters including The Baron, 2:11 1-4. Coronation McKlilop, 2:13 3-4, ‘Tracy Hanover, 2:11 1-4, Christie Budiong. 2:12. McNellYs Pick, 2:11 1-4, and others. This is really the best bunch of slow class trotters that has faced the starter at any time that the rit- er can remember. and that seem a big statement but ask some horsemen friends a good memory and see if it is not true.

The liree-For-All Trot is natur- ally conceded to Watchim, 2:06 3-4. but there is always a chance in a racl of that kind of a horse mak- ing a break. of getting away on the wrong foot and Watchim can't take any chances with the other

NIW YORK l8 - (AP) ..Dehroit and New ork square off tomorrow in the No. 1 baseball ser- ies of the season but four second- divlsion clubs, hovering on the edge of the main spotlight, can make or break world series plans and determine the ultimate win- ner.

MONTREAL, Sept. 18 - (CP:—

United Naiions Relief and Reliab- iiitation Administration Council members and their assistants to- day were welcomed by Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King to Canada, “which I believe is the freest coun- ,try in the world today."

The Prime Minister addressed

the council as it assembled for its second day of sittings of the pres- ent session. Council business was started on Saturday when Hon. ,L. B. Pearson. Canadian Minister (to Washington. was elected chair- ; man. .I The representatives of 44 United iNations cheered Mr. King as he rose to speak standing under a grouping of flags of all the coun- tries united in the war effort.

When he had finished, a detail- -ed report on the requirements for

the relief and rehabilitation of more than 100 million victims war was presented to the council by Herbert H. Lehman. former Governor of New York and UNRRA , director-general.

The council today opened the way for discussion of the vexed question of whether UNRRA bene- fits slinll be available to the nat- ionals of enemy or ex-enemy coun- tries by referring consideration of assistance to Italy tee on policy. This committee, composed of the whole has Mr. Pearson as chairman.

Your need for ready cash may be urgent: for taxes, or a sudden illness, or one of a hundred other emergency situations. But if you sell, you not only reduce your share in the financing of the war . . . you also reduce your chances of ever owning what you had planned to buy, after the war.

So don't sell your Victory Bonds. Instead, use them as security for a bank loan. Pay of? your loan by convenient instalments . . . and get your Bonds back when the loan is repaid.
