As a result great crowds attend the Ex- hibition at that p‘ace annually. Last week history was made there when Billy Direct 1.58, world's zhamplon pacer. in winning the Free " for All which he took in straight heats. lowered the world's record for a half mile track to 2.00 3-4 and in doing so he erased ilrom the championship rolls the names of Dan Patch.

In the championship mile Vic Fleming. Candaian reins- man. had to hustle Billy Direct to the first quarter in 28 1-2 seconds to head off Little Pat The next lillarter was at at moderate .

E. be-Roi Willis who has attain- ed the old age of four score years an more and was a guest of honor at the Provincial Ex- hibition this year. writes as fol- lows: “I canot allow this day to pass without a word of sincere con- glratulation on the completion of the best year of the Provincial Ex- hibition, Charlottetown. It was a pleasure for me to sit on the Grand Stand and see an no in date start- er in Otto Irvine. I could hear com- plimentary remarks from nearly everyone around me on the gentle- manly manner he talked to the drivers —I would say in the same boat as the late Prank Power."

Mr. Willis knows all about sia't- ers as he raced horses over flftv years ago and continued into the late 90's as one of the top reins- men in the Msritimen. He at one time held the Charlottetown track record of 2.19 with srrclai Blend, :1 sun of the famous B'ack Pilot

Summerside track always ope ed the racing season on July 1st ut- tlng on a good prOgl“um and peas- ing the crowds who attended. However. the holding of races is not a very profitn.b‘.e proposition and it was found impossible to keep the grounds in shape with the amount left over after paying purses and other expenses. so that gzadually they lapsed into a state of disre- pair. It will be necessary in order to have racing to spend a con-

siderable maolmt of money on ffinc‘-T12. mfand stand and stables. but if this is done Sumnlerside
