H..1,n's Forbes. the story-book linrse out of Maryland. came a- lung in 1853. raced in 1.5198 at Roosevelt. and then in 2.00 at Laurel, Md. Two other: have two- minute performances on the half- mile ovals to their credit. these in assaults against the Watch- ureyhnund. the trot g king, set the current mark at 1.5974 and 2.00. While Adios Harry is the first of the super uerformnncel of the current campaign over the smaller ovals. we do not believe that he will be the only one. or that his two-minuta mile will be the only one marked on the book: next Fall. But lowering Hi-Lo: Forbes may 'matk is still rains in be a mighty task.

Another trotting star showed the past week. This time it was the 8-year-old gelding, Lord Steward 2.02 from the R. H. Kroening stable of Milwaukee and handled by Joe O'Brien who was getting acquainted Wlt the l.l'0tCGl' ID! the first time as a driver. It was a happy combination. as "little Joe" who tips the scales at but little over 100 pounds, had a head's advantage over the pace- maker Stengrapher 1.5iWs. The mile in 2.0356 is the top perfor- piano: to date over the half-mile ovals by the trotiers. The fa- vorlte Katie Key. champion mnney- winner among the trot- lt-rs last year was third.

A nice warns evening brought out over 1000 fans to witness some very exciting racing at Truro Speedway last Saturday light. one ef the features was thowlnningefthebthandlth race: by Bellini Might, driven by ".lunlot"' Campbell. Bellini Might is owned by F. Moreeide, Wind- sor Jet. Miss Alice Guy (Pink- ne.vl was 2-2. last of all driver Campbell gave him a new record or 2.15.

And here': new: that will please W. 6. Stewart of New Glasgow, NJ. At Vernon Downs three-quar- ter mile track June 4. the 3- year-old pacer Sammy Herbert. that came from the snow coun- try up in Canada. edged out such stars as Singing Sword 8. 2.0131.

Years ago he brought the yearling stallion Alpha Hal by Hal Dale 2.02Vs to New Glgggow and in his disper- sal sale Alpha was purchased by William 11. Herbert & Son. Lon- don, out. He has been a tre- mendous success as a site of fu- turity winners and race” horses and has ten two and 3-year-olds with record: from 2.0! to 2.1551.

A Canadian driver. Lorne Tol- hurat. who has been in the lime- light and was the man who took Toll Gate from a delivery wagon and gave him a record of 2.030. was top winning driver at the recent Rosecroftbarnes: mr .918 with 10 winning drives. He head- ed such drivers as Ed Myer. D011 Miller. Wayne Smart. Howard Scott and Eddie Cobb.

And here's how one of the most noted turf writer: sizes up Joe O'Brien in The Horseman and Fair World of June 11th -- We respected Joe O'Brien as a driver from the first time we saw him in action. Then he took over Sol Camp's stable and trained them on to a number of sensa- tional performances. so we had to admit that he is bridle-wise as I trainer. when be selected raw yearling: like Scot Frost. Butch . Meadow Pace. ete., we were ready to grant that he knew class in the rough, and all these talents add up to a finished horseman. O'Brien is the sultry is worth two panels of fence to any horse in a tight one. and this little Joe proved when he came home with a pair of catch drives. Ensign Lad and Lord Stewart, the other evening at Roosevelt. Just to save face. we could say that Joe would pro- bably be a terrible jockey on the flat. but with his sine he might decide to prove it: wrong about that . ..

Our friend Cecil McGinley. Houltoa, Maine. writes us that "Racing he: been under way in southern Maine for three weeks and the best time for a pacer was District Attorney 2.0855 and for a trottar. summit Han- over": 2.1056. The nights have

Gor- ham starts on June M and runs until July 10 and with warmer nights and a larger population to draw from they should get good crowds. The last time I was at Harold B em': farm is mares had foe by their side: and Is Abbe had lost twins.

". . . .June Morning and Early Dawn both came from Prince Edward Island. The above storm must have been an extremely costly one to the greatest harness horse nursery in the world. We recall reading of a great tornado- like storm that occurred there some weeks ago and probably it is the one referred to.

If heredity counts - and we know it does - Charlie Willis. manager of Summerside Race way. has a future star in the 2- year-old colt Cheeky Dude by Cheeky Chief 2.04. dam Dude Potempk' 2.07V4. on a recent lflp to Fortune Charlie looked over,several coils of high-class breeding owned by Lester John- son and Cheeky Dude was his pick. He is handsome and has all the markings of a speedy pacer.

Joe O'Brien popped up again as a winner at Roosevelt Race- way last Friday night. being first to the wire with the 4-year-old Mac Primrose 2.0196 in a 33500 pace heading Adios Jimmie, New- port Honor and five other fast ones. Time. 2.0415. The same night he won a 56000 pace with Dia- mond Hal in 2.0256. Diamond Hal has a mile track record of l.59'ls but we had to look twice to see if we had made a mistake, but no. it was correct - 2.0251. He is a 4-year-old and it is quite possible that he will lower his mile track record by a second or more this year.

A friend has sent -us the of- ficial program of opening night at Ssrato a Raceway, Saratoga Springs' Y., and we notice that Johnny Quinn was third with Alma Bohemia in the tith race won by Bardia Chief (R. Sewell), time 2.0798. and he was fifth in the third race with Profile Bo- hemia, a 4-year-old trotier. time 2109-3. The horses Johnny drives are from Bohemia Farm. Green- wood. Delaware. where Donald Truax is in the stud and they are all his get. His son Pronto Don 1.5945, is world's largest money winning trolter with 5323,- 11! was foaled at that farm.

Harness racing got off to its first night start of the season last Wednesday night at Sydney Sports Centre with a good opening crowd.

To-night's harness racing at the Charlottetown track will be par- ticularly good. There is a classl- fled trot with eight that are fac- ing the starter for the first time this season and it will be the first appearance of Ted Genessee, the 3-year-old by Jtodney 1.5m that has been showing up quite well in workouts. also Royal Train, now a 4-year-old that looks good. In addition the always reliable Roma Budlong and three other good trotters. Races No. 3 and 6, classified tr'ot. will have the best of the trotters that faced the starter last week. also Bud's Echo. Royal Scott and Waymarlr. Any one horse in this co'uld be a winner. but of course it will be the free for all pace that will command the most attention.

Pond sections. and really got my eyes opened on the size of the trout that have been landed on spinningr tackle.

I talked to a chap who watch- ed a fellow angler work a 'spin- ner' off one of the famous sea- ward bridges that abound in

HISTORIC INDUSTRY

Central Sweden has been a pro-' ducer of iron and steel since an early period of Swedish history.

Prince County. The western sect- ion hasn't got them all for Kings. to my way of thinking. has about an even break with Prince with

how or other the western section receives more, publicity. I was told this particular angler hooked into a real wballopper: It was 15 minutes of steady tug-of-war be- fore the big fellow was brought to the surface. To quote his own words: "l-le threshed the water into foam. showing two feet of white belly. and then headed out to sea." Thats the end of the story folks-there isn't anymore. The trout was described as being as large as a monste codfish. Any comment on its weight would be mere guess-work.

Later in the evening I checked an angler from Mont-ton who was using a spinner at the same bridge. He had no strikes while I was there but he informed me he landed twp trout at this spot last year on the same evening One weighed 6 l-2 and the other 0 1-4 pounds. He told me there was a school of trout lying under the bridge that evening like a fleet of subma in.-s. Two of them couldn't resist the Goldfish lure and left the formation. zooming to the surface in a rush. There were still bigger trout under the bridge but they wouldn't budge.

It took him over a half hour to beach the six and a quarter pounder and it was harder to handle than the other. Where a trout is hooked often determines its fighting capacity. If a trout is hooked in a calaused spot with- out too much feeling and in such a way that it can fight and run without having its mouth dragged open. the angler is in for a tough battle. With a hook emhedcd in the tender portion of the upper snout a trout. no odds how heavy. has two strikes against him at the start. If it bores deep in a wicked rtish the pressure of the rod drags its mouth open and that will slow him down quicker then anything else.

Don't get the idea that spin- ning tackle is the answer to beat- ing the 'big trout prublem'. There are times when even the spin- ners will nnl produce results; and on the same occasion the chap with the ordinary fly rod will land trout. Sometimes neither will get any action. one great ad- vantage of the spinning tackle is a good spinning artist can
