As Ilighland Fling came back to the stand he was accorded the greatest reception ever extended to a race horse in New Zealand. ‘Men and women stormed the track ‘n an effort. (o pni. this truly won- derful animal. Before (he race he had also set a stake winning fig- ure than that ever earned by either a runner or pacer in New Zealand. Bought for the insignif- icant sum of $300, he has won a total of over $100,000.

The Australians think they have an equally great pacer in Single Direct, that set up a world's re- cord for two miles of 4:11‘); last. year. It supplzinis even the best performances of American pacers. The official world's record for two miles was made by Dan Patch M5514, driven by Myron E. Mc- Henry in 1903. The first mile was in 207% and the second mile in 2091.4. Quite an agitation is go- ing on in New Zealand to over- come the embargo on the import- ation of United States stallions. A htrnher of prominent training men have banded together to bring about the entry in New Zealand of proved stallions from the U.S.A. Last year $250,000 of New Zealand money went to England in pay- ment for thoroughbred stallions.

ming, has accepted a position as trainer for D. Palozzoli of Italy. He is the owner of Waiter Cox's former champion trotter, Haseltan ZrOO-Vi. One reason for Harts‘ re- moval to Italy is the fact that the Berlin race track which was one of the finest in the world, is now in Russian‘ territory and we ltave no word of races being held there.

Last week we wrote about a driver rating system which showed Joe O'Brien in the lead. There is another system entitled Universal Driver Rating System and Chart and it shows the number of stairts and percentage average for 100 leading drivers in the United States. In this system J.F. Cart- nell is first with 146 starts and an average of .575; Joe O'Brien comes second with 126 starts and an av- erage of .561. Anyway you figure it out Joe seems to be at the top or near it. There is no question that he had made ‘a wonderful record for himself in the year he spent as assistant trainer to Cas- tleton fam stable. Had that stable been equipped with as many good trotters and pacers as a few years previously Joe would have further enhanced his prestige. ‘There is no doubt about it, Joe has the goods.

A special pair of skates. don- atcd by Dr, T.E. Robins f-or the winners of the boys mile race was won by Charles‘ Kennedy of West Kent School.

In the case of some of (he small- er rural schools the contestants joined forces with other schools under the same colors, and in one case in particular, Dale MaoWil- llama and Bobby MacWlliiaxns, both of Cape Traverse, won their tlsht and nine year old races re- spectively to contribute largely to the success of the Borden School team.

on this formerly controversial question. Several petitions, from gunners in outlying districis, as

well as individual letters were read at the meeting. All favoured Oc- tober 1st as an opening date for ducks. One petition had approx- imately 50 names signed to it and another had 16. o o s

Back in the days before the First Great War the duck season opened on August 20th. Then it was changed to September 1st. It held at this date for years despite s. determined effort by a group of sportsmen to have it open on Sept. 15th. They finally won their point. Still duck hunters were not satis- fied. It was advanced to Sept. 20th. Then back to September 15th. ‘The next shift was to Oc- tober 1st. This date held for one year and Lhen it was advanced to October Nth. Tlhis was ln 1941. In 1048 it opened on October 9th. If the majority of duck hunters have their way it will open T111949 on October lst.

Inter-Provincial Meet Cancelled

Officials of the Victoria Driving Club announced last night that it had been decided in abandon plans to hold an inter-provincial horse racing program here next week. 'l‘h(-y said harbour ice conditions were unsatisfactory and no other local track was available. Earlier the meet had been postponed a week in hope of better weather conditions.

A spokesman for the Victoria club said the meet was cancelled with regret as horsemen from both Halifax and Dartmouth were anxious to race, here. and local horsemen were equally keen to have them.
