H. Willemse Will’ Compete
Representatives of the co — s
m mittee in charge of the North- Imrberland ‘ swim announ- ced’ last night that they have rece'v word that erman Willemse will definitely compete to their swim scheduled for Au-
gus .
Willemse phoned last night from Atlantic City to confirm his entry in the big swim and stated that he will bring three other swimmers with him.
Officials stated that at a meet- tng of the Athletic Association in Borden last night it was de-
cided to donate $200.00 to the L
swim. The swim committee rc- eeived $100.00 from Smallman’s in Summer-side. $50.00 from Hot- ma'p's and $25.00 from the Tar- tan restaurant In Summerside. The committee is hoping for further support from Island bus- iness firms.
Mr. Willemse has quite an im- pressive record accompanying him to this Island swim. He has captured the Holland national swim on thirteen occasions, is a ree time winner of the mile swim at Atlantic City. two time winner in the late St. John wlm and a two time winner and record holder in the com- petition staged at Trois Riviercs. Willemse will be the logical fa- vorite although he is expected to receive stiff competition from Jo La Coursiere. last year's winner. and due to the fact that John has a better knowledge of the strait it is quite possible
t La Courslere will upset reasowned Willieansc.
During the morning service Dr. Frank MiacKimnon. chair- man of the P.E.'I. Centennial Commit-tee will present the congregation with a brass pla- que in the recognition of the church's centennial anniver- 3W

local Mounties Rode In Famed Musical Ride
Canada‘s famed Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police are pre- senting their famed musical ride at the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park tonight.
The ride. as it is called. has its roots early in the history of the original Northwest Mount-
ed Police, being performed for
the first time around the year 1876. Nothing. more of it Was heard until 1887 when a troop performed it at the Regina bar- racks e ' some tim after the establishment of a hand there. .
Today the musical ride is as familiar in the United States and in Britain as it is in Can- ada for has been seen by many admiring crowds in sev- eral tours through these coun-
tries.
Musical rides seem to have started as cavalry drills and exercises in horsemanship at some unknown point in history. The concept was brought to Ca- nada by cavalry regiments from England and was established in the RCMP mainly through the 9th Dancers and the 3rd Hus- sars.
ISLANDERS IN RIDE
There are a number of RCMP officers in P.E.I. who have at one time served in the ride, in- cluding Superintendent A. S. MacNell. who commanded the outfit. Sgt. E. L. Tedford and Cpl. JAA, E.
