one start at Sackvilie. N. S.. July 1st. Jimmie A. is by Abbe Worthy 2:05 and his dam is Ima Guy by Guy Axworthy 2:08 SM. He was .1 great favorite at Sum- merslde on Monday and many are predicting that he will take .1 good record before the. season is over.

Willard Kelly. famous for his ability to come from behind. gave the fans great thrills in the fourth

and niniih races when Lucky Number. back in fourth place at the three-quarter pole. paced

around his field to win by a nose the first heat and by half a length the second heat. Willard was top heat winner for the night with three wins and Ensor Bowness second with two. Ensor came first in the fifth and eighth races with Billy Conn, winning from a good tield. The many friends of Ed Downo were glad to see him reg- ister with Gary D. in the first race with Emmett Bernard in second place with Face Cloth.

Close to zmooo in put-sis will be distributed during Ham-blcton- ian Week August 6th to ioth at? Good Time mile track, C-oshen. N. Y. Of this an estimated ll18,000 in purses will be awarded horse- men on Hamlbietonian Day, Aug- ust 8th. The Hamlbletonian for three-year-bid trotters will .have a value of almost 390,000. making it the richest prize in the history of the sport. Eighty-two three- year-olds are still eligible for the 215th renewal of this premier har- ne-Is race. Featured on the same afternoon are the sl-L000 Geers' pace for three-year-olds and a 210,000 Free For All pace which will bring together the fastest horses in America. Prince Edward Islanders will be watching with interest the results of the Hamblc- lonisn in which Joe O'Brien will drive Mahlon Hanover, the winter book favorite for this race. but wii.h the great number of com- pctitors that will face the Start- ing Gate on the mile track that afternoon. anything may happen. Those in the first tier will certain-

.ly have a big advantage. He will

also have one of the favorites in the 317,000 stake for two-ycitr-old pacer: which will be raced on August. 7th. At present there are '77 eligible for this stake. .loe'a win as noted above with Voman Chief may make him the favorite for

' this stake also.

Put all other things aside and be at the harness race-s tonight at the Charlottetown track. The "program will be one of the best of the season. in fact onc'of the best of several seasons. Nine of the top free-for-allers in the Maritime Provinces will line up for dashes 2-6-9-in the Free For All Pace. These horses represent an invest- ment of almost. 320.000-one of

I walked down to the road bridge which is only a few yards from the factory. The stream bed on the lower side looked reason- ably clean. Signs indicated that the objectionable matter had been assisted in its journey down stream. Above the bridge it clung to the stones in an evil smelling mass. I took a stick and remov- ed a blob of the substance. lt draped over it like an drowned rat in the last stages of decom- position and smelled likewise. I carried it back to the starch operator. the slick held at. armia length. His eyes opened wide: "On which side dirl you get that?" he queried in astonish- ment.

The Dcparimcni cont-orned doe-a not wish to see the factory clos- ed down and farmers dc-prlved of an outlet for cull potatoes. his request is a rcasoable one: fine some other means of disposing of the objectionable residue other than allowing it to enter a five mile stretch of trout water and pollute it and the lake into which it flows beyond the pow- er of description.

After the starch has been re- moved from potatoes the dry pulp rcsitluc. apart from the water content. is only a small percentage of the whole. it should not he a difficult or ex- pensive operation to find some means of disposing of this objec- tlonal content. it was suggested that it be hauled to the North Shore and dumped of St. Lawrence. In this hold water with no mud flat: to hold the starchy pulp it v.ould

purchased by Harry Hirsch of Sydney for s4.500 from Read Bros.. Maine. and others were bought for figures up 1o s3.000. Then there is the fast. trot dashes 3 and '1 with the celebrated Coibiblesione 2.1l V5. Neil Kalmuck 2.10. Annie Scott 2.0:) U5, Jennie Kalmuck, 2.11 m and others. Supporting races No. 1 and No. 5 and No. 4 and No. 8 have large fields of very evenly matched trottens and pacers. It will be a night's racing long to be ramcmibercd.

The many admirers of the pacer A. G. Scott 2.00 U5 will re- zret to learn that his racing career is probably over for this season. A few days ago he received an injury in his stifle which prevents him from being trained or raced. Yesterday it was attended to by I veterinary who ordered complete rest. A. G. Scott. is owned by Lorne Letchcr. Springhill. N.'S. The popular trotttr Baron 2.11 is back in this Province again. hav- ing been purchased by Ralph Mc- Fadycn of Hunter River from the Frank Daniels Stable of Truro. Baron is in the care of Elmer Smith of Hunter River and is at present at the Charlottetown track. Baron will be seen in action in

one of tho trots in the near future.

He alleg- edly insisted that they were rur.-, ning "close to the wind" as was and that such ll means disposal of residue would he tn.1' expensive and cut derply inln already slim profits. He furtlwr stated that their method of N- tracting starch from- potatoes was not on a par with starch factories in the lfniteil Slates. Furthermore Island potato!-swo-rr lower in starch contrnt anti that it required 9 tons of potatoes to produce one ures show that the most up-tu- date factory in the Slate: pra- cesses 8.5 tons of potatoes to pro- duce a ton of starch. is not such a wide divergence between the Island method of extracting starch or the SlilF('ln' content ed with the method used States or the starch cnnicnt their potatoes as one would led to believr. O O 0 Now to touch the starch product-rs' contention that they are cutting a fine margin in respect to showing profit or 1- loss. Fiszurcs submit- ted indicate that the factory at Murray Harhour is capable r-l processing 50 tons of pnlatocs her day. The factories at East Baltic and Hunter River are larger ani with in greater procesi-irz capa- city.

I have if on good authority that the potatoes used in the manufacture of starch this 5!!- son cost the starch factory oper- ators 28 cents per bushel. On this hasis 9 tons of potatoes. tit.- equivalent of one ton of starch. costs approximately 533.16. The Dricc of starch reached nn all high this season to a peak of 5160.00 per ton. ll profit per ton. over the cost. of the too: used to produce sainc. . 6.84.
