We are giving our readers some pld time rerninls this week, uiidly furnished. by . M Evans. rignish. They lake u. hack to rho my early days cf horse racing and exhibit an interesting comparison with present da conditions. Mr. Evans writes: ' listened to Mr. JIDBS E.

Mr. Birch recal- led a matoh race on Mon/truce ice about fifty years s80 when he raced Maud B. against, a mare owned by 111cc. Bernard of ‘Pignish, for bats iii $40.00 a side. The largest crowd we: seen at a horse race on the ice in West Prince was there and the excitement was intense, con- tinuing through each heat which was closely wntcsted. Maud B. was Die winner. Both horses were driv- en by owners W115 when they fin- ished up were th best of friends-

Among the admirers of good horses prgsent that day were Rev. father Dougald McDonald, James Christopher. Tignish, Bertram Ramsay. Michael Pitzslmmons. Montrose, and marw others from outlying districts. The night before the race Mr. Bernard's house was burned with all its contents, but that did not stop him from being on hand as he did not wish to dis- appo nii the crowd. The purse oi 140.00 was duly wwaided to Mr. Birth, who amid the plaudits oi taliledcrowd presented it to Mr. Ber-

During his long connection with the sport Mr. Birch owned some fifteen race horses and notable among them was Bismark, by Old Flying Frenchman. foaled May 17th. 1888. and raised by Michael Ftvsinuno . J. Bee by Adminis- tralor, which after developing he sold to Fred Peters. Bllmmerside. who subsequently sold him to Par- ties in Maine where in 1898 he took a record of 2.18 l-2.—-last time in those days.

Another one was Dona Wot. a game race mare that iliowed a lot of speed as a four- year-oid at Jack Irving's Oape Traverse. She was handled by Professor Rockford, who was than in hi; heyday. .1. Bee. Mary Walker, Miranda. Min M Park Reta. Doxillian, ‘P060.

Also of Reg Caldwell, who for many years was a member of tihe Nova Boctia Legislature, and Owned among other race horses Plucky Dillard 2.04 i-4 and Silver- foam 2.15 l-Z. Horsemen all over the Maritimes will join with us in sincere sympathy to the families and relatives of these two good sportsmen.

Some newsy notes oi Nova 5co- tia horsemen have been furnished by a correspondent in Truro. He. says the Truro track is much im- proved because oi the work done on it last fail and that Jimmie Sanderson is wintering his stable there. which includes Dora Worthy, by Abbe Worthy 2.05, owned by F‘ C. McCurdy, and the community- owned Simone Harvester 2.04 1.4. a welccme addition to the Free-for- Alis. The son of Lee Harvester 2.16 1-2 has proved himself the top-notch Canadian pacer the past two seasons, possesses the best of manners. ls’ fat and game and will race over any kind of a track Jimmie Ind Simcoe Harvester should cut a big figure in the sum- maries this season.

William Latta. River Hebert, N. S. who raised the three full bro- thers Happy L. 2.09, Aaron L, 2.10- 1-4 and Direct L. 2.1a 1-4, is jog- ging a fine looking iour-year-old by Bill L. 2.15 1-4. dam, Mary Sue by Braden Direct. This chap is an own brother to the three good pac-

ers mentioned.

lee Sharp oi Amherst, N. 3., is the owner of a fine looking year- ling colt by Calumet Budlong 2.02- 3-4, dam, Diamcnd Mac by Gap- taln Aubrey.

Albert "Friday" Bryson is winter. ing for owner J. A. Kerr, Truro. N. 5., the two well-bred young horses Hillside Jack 2.16 1-4, by Kalmuck, and Hillside Scott. by Bellini Scott 2.00 1-4, both out of Neshia 2.14- 1-4, by Generla Watts. These horses look well and much is ex- pected oi them the coming sum- mer. “Friday” believes Hillside Scott will be a stout competitor for the three-year-old iuturity at Charlottetown. as he worked the Ti-iiro track in 2.25 and it is sev- eral seconds slower than our track. Anyhow, Mr, Kerr's horses are sure of being well looked after, as "Fri- day" is one of the best caretakers in the business and has worked marvels with horses that were thoflsht due for the discard, like Bonnie Cameron, that took a rec- ord o! 2.10 1-4 in a winning race.

Dr. Charles McLean of New Rillhmvnd. Quebec, is the proud owner oi a beautiful filly out of his trotting mare Tease 2.09 1-2, by hunter 2.04. and that good Ontario sire Lee Harvester 2.18 1.2, sire of Lee Hanover 2.00, Simcoo Harvester 2.04 1-4 and many others. The Doctor has attended the Charlotte- town Exhibition acvcral times in the past and hfipgg t4 make it this year. His friends look forward to the day when the new arrival will bércampalgried by the genial Doc-

She won a good race at Montague and also won or was second at New Annan. We were under the impression that Johnny Conroy was located at 'l‘ruio and find that he is at Am- herst. where he is wintering Josie tho Great. 2.00 l-I. holder oi the

THIS

Proving truely that year in and year out they are one of the strongest intermediate squads in the Maritimes, Victoria Unions last night came through in fine style to soundly whip Glace Bay Consuls and regain possession of the Maritime title they held two years ago. ‘ _ ‘

And there was no doubting the superiority oi the Victoria team last night as they went to work on the Glace Bay team. Consuls did make quite a battle of it in tihe fast first period but after that Unions, after scoring five times in the middle chukker had it pretty much as they pleased’.

Arid once again we offer con- gratulations to anfsland team that has proved its worth, not only this year, but over a span of yearaand has been instrumental in climax- ing this year's Island hockey by bringing to the Garden of the Gulf the second title of the season. a feat that has not been accomp- lished in Island circles in a good many years.

I O O

Although the season is not yet completed with the Junior Royals starting the Memorial Cup play- dowris Tuesday next, Unions have gone as far as they can go and it's hats off to what is undoubt- edly the finest squad of intermed- iate puckchasers ever developed in the Island and one that is oom- poscd of entlrel home brews from one of the sma lest centres on the Island.

O O O O

‘The season is nearly completed and the Island has shown conclu- sively that they still develop hoc- key players of. the highest class in the Maritimes. The seniors did not display quite the sanjis ability but._ it must be remembered that in the

the best, best home- brew clubs performing and al- though they did pass out of liha picture early it was only against. a team that had imports scattered all over tihei: . .

packing the power. speed an scoring punch they have displayed all season. knock over a team that is really “packed" and continue on along the trail that the Junior Abegweits blazed right to the Eas- tern Canada finals in 1934-5. Then that same starry band had the misfortune to rim up against the St. Michael's cut-tit, the greatest junior team ever assembled in Canada. They were knocked aside in two games; this year another brilliant band oi Charlottetown juniors is picking up where they left off as "kings of the Marltimm" and just how well they succeed will be known in t-he course oi a few days. . _ ' .

Perth Blue Wings are going to be very formidable foes; whatever Upper Canadian paper one picks up one runs across glowing ac- counts oi the squad that averages 165 pounds in weight and carry a tremendous scoring punch. but in this department th will be matched by the highest scoring junior machine ever to don local colors here.

In three successive games one time during the season Royalsshot home 33 goals to their opponent!’ nix and it was not against easy opposition. Moncton Wheatons fell before them by counts of l0-0 and’ 10-2 while a strong S. D. U. squad felt the Royals‘ power 13-4. Any squad that. can do that has Plenty "on the ball" both offensively and defensively and although they will probably enter the series the "un- derdogs" nevertheless upsets have occurred before and perhaps the Wings of the high-flying Perth team will beflipped.‘
