What A Race

WE were among the privileged one to witness that great pac- tngclassic Wednesday night at Sackville Downs.

‘We expected to see one of the greatest free-for-ails of our

‘ and we were not disappointed. It had everything any race

fin)» fan could Wish fol‘

Naturally Island racing fans were disappointed because June Bynd ur Hi-Jay didn’t head the summary but in this kind of an en-

gagement all were t

homes errific. But the big roan. Dee's Boy, handled expertly by I(ensington's Myron MacArthur. was just unbeatable Wednesday at the Downs. His breaking of the track record brought driver MacArthur a

cheque for $500

from Downs president Capt John Cruickshank. And make no mistake about it, no 8500 was given with

gr

ea

glee. The Capt and his son Jack wanted this to happen and they were both overjoyed at it coming about.

-We really_d-idn't think the track record would fall Wednesday

night although we were anticipating a honey of a battle. But it

tumbled in great style as the 4000 spectators shouted themselves

hoarse.

It was indeed a night to remember. —

June Byrd Great

JUNE Byrd didn't win a dash but she went her best mile since coming to the Maaritimes. Unofficially her time was 2.03:2, a truly

great perform

ance. Her owners should be mighty proud of the game pacer that

has been so consistently good since coming this way. Her greatest moment was in the first trip Wednesday after she had relinquish- 7 ed th-- lead to Dee's Boy and appearing to be falling well off the t

pace in the homelane.

This was the time that Jack Ferguson asked the mare for one more effort and she gave it in courageous fashion_.Steadily she

closer; the gap on the flying roan record-breaking time of 2.08:1

What more can you expectof any race h WE don't believe owner Bill Boyles was

his Hi-Jay.

After all, they tell us that all horses were home in at least 2.05 in that opening mile and that's not bad going on any race-

track.

Folks must remember that Hi-Jay has had little time to rest since coming to Charlottetown. He arrived 21 after a long haul from Yonkers. On July 24 he was off to Syd- ney for Jim Ferguson's $3000 Dosco Special. From Sydney he shipped back to Charlottetown and Tuesday last went on the van

again to Sackvllle Downs.

That's covering a lot of territory in a short time and undoubt- edlv it took its tcll on the seven-year-old gelding. However. despite many jaimts Hi-Jay was able to show great speed in the big one

last Wednesday night.

Right now he is to get a well-deserved rest and will not see action until the first big free-for-all of Old Home Week that goes

mi Monday August 13. He will be

traction and his summary in these two dashes certainly be much

more impressive.

Race Card At Local Oval

A $422.40 exncinr on the sev- enth dash featured last ‘night’: nine dash program.et the Char- lottetown D r i v in g Park. Only two lucky- ticket holders had the right combination of Anthony L and Wing Victory for the whop- ping pay. Wing Victory had fun- ished first in the race but was set back to second for a long gaining run.

The card also featured fast times with the slowest time on the program being 2.13.

Three of the winners took new marks. In the curtain raiser it was Mai-Kai first under the w in 2.12-3 for a new record. Col. Dan's Garth’s Best took a new mark of 2.13 in winning the

Pistons Crush Irish ll-1 For Series Lead

Canadian Tire Pistons took a I-1 lead in their best of seven City Softball League semi-final series with BIS Shamrocks last evening by crushing the Irish 11-

Lloyd ‘Teet' Gregory handled the mound chores for the win- ners. giving up six hits over the 7-inning route. The six bingles were well spaced and no Sham- rock sticker got more than one hit. Gregory also walked two and struck out one.

Portsider Sterling Shnms was the starting and losing pitcher. Simms was taken out in favor of Joe Thistle in the third in- ing and was charged with the Pistons’ first seven runs. Dur- ing his short stint on the‘ mound the BIS southpaw gave up three hits and walked five.

HUNTER’S CORNER

Certainly Not

In this enlightened age are prone to look upon the far distant past as the period of the Dark Ages when man did not possess the high mentality of the present period of Space ex- ploration. How mistaken can we be? Four thousand years ago an Egyptian Pharaoh dreamed of building a dam and harness- ing the waters of the mighty Nile and eliminating the threat of starvation that plagued his people at frequent intervals dur- ing his reign. Today Russian engineers are in sig of the goal of this mighty project de- signed to bring prosperity. with- out fear of starvation. to mil- lions of Egyptian peasants. Fifty-six years ago, I, along with my brothers. worked with my father. the late Robert Jen- kins, in helping build a dam. It was slow. labourious work vll the pick and shovel. horse and cart route. As usual we encount- ered trouble with breaks in the ‘waste gate’ section and he fin- ally hit upon the bypass system. This same b ass is in opera- tion todny. My father always dreamed about building dams... the more the better was his motto. It took a long time for his dream to come true. Some- times when I watch a D-7 bull- dozer moving as much ‘fill’ in a hour that would take 20 horses and carts and fifty or 60 in days to accomplish I wonder what the old timers would think

ON JUMPING SPREE

A resident of Panmure Island told me this week at one eve- ning a few (I a y s ago heavy- weight sea trout went on a jumping spree off an Island bar. Some would go two and three feet out of the water and h e reckoned many were in the three and four pound class. It's only on rare occasions trout not like thatin salt water and the. cause may only be guessed at. I have watched them roll on the surface when they were so close packed one could imagine walking on them. One evening this week I stopped to chat with an angierof many acquentence. He had managed to land three nice trout on a midget fly that looked different from any such lure I have ever seen. We were standing on Moore's Bridge and I could spot some hefty speci- mens lazily flnning against the slight current. He told me that a few days ago a monster trout at Vernon River made a ‘pass’ at his offering and missed, eith-
