DOWN THE

BACK 1 STRETCH

Monoton, N.B.,‘was the gather- ing place last Monday for horse-

_ men from all over the Maritime

fprovinces who came to (at- tend the Officials’ school con- ducted by Don R. Millar, ex- ecutive §V'!CQ1plre5ideD.l'., United States 'l1rortting Association, for the hearing of appeals from the decisions of judges, and for the annual meeting of District 11,

' U.S.T.A. ’

The Officials’ school was held in the morning, commencing at 10.30; about thirty officials were given an explanation of any rule which there was argument about, and took written examin- ations for which they will re-

-ceive marks from Mr. Millar.

These schools have been of great value in clearing up doubtful points in procedure, and have been the means 'of improving the decisions and giving more confidence to those in authority at our various race tracks. T

In passing, we may say that Mr. lvfillar expressed himself as greatly pleased by the at- tendance an-d the ‘results of the tests. PROTESTS

The hearing of the four pro-v tests was held by directors Mac- Kinnon. McCurdy and DeWitt, and their decisions have been forwarded to the U.S.T.A. and will appear in Hoof Beats later. Prior to that, the parties con- cerned, will be notified of the decisions. ‘ ‘

Mr. Millar, who had flown up from Columbus, Ohio_ and en- countered some stormy weather on the trip, expressed great pleasure at» the record atten- dance for the afternoon meeting of District 11. Because of . the storm. we told Mr. Millar that we didn’t expect (that there would be more than 60 or .70 members. and we set up seat- ing for that number. But as they continued to come in large num- bers, seats had to be provided for 163 - the largest attendance. by far. of any meeting held in the 21) years since District 11 was formed. ' They came from as far: away as Sydney, Cape Breton; north- ern New Brunswick; Halifax; and various parts of the three lV|ai‘.itlme provinces. The snow-- sl.r.Tl‘m_ wl1.ic'h threatened to make the meeting a non-success, didn't deter our enthusiastic horse- men. It was, no doubt, a tri- bute to Mr. Millar, because he was largely the drawing card. TRACK RECORD

Charles L. Clarke of Moncton, who has been active in harness

‘After he was through,

racing for many years and set

up_ a track record at Sussex, New Brunswick, on July 30, 1943; of 2.013 with McKlyo Cash, 2.02, acted as secretary of the meeting, a position that lie has filled for years,-and has furnish- ed an excellent report which will be_ foc',wacrdcd~ to the U.S.T.A.

Iu'eutenant—C‘cIlonel D. A. Mac- Kinnon, who was one of the original directors of the U.S.T.A., which was formed in. 1938, ap- peared for the filth time as pre- siding officer, and seated be- side him were ,directors F. C. McCurdy,T Truro, and J. Henry DeWitt, Woodstock, N.B.

Mr. Millar spoke for about ten minutes, and his remarks were listened to with’ ralpt attention. some questions were asked regarding doubtful points in the rules, and Don gave very clear explana- tions that were greatly ap- pnreciiated. Directors McCu.rdy and DeWitt also spoke, an.d their words were well received by the horsemen in attendance. SALIVATESTS

A very welcome visitor was S. B. Pratt, from the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, who occupied a seat on the plat- form and had been asked to give an explanation to the horse- men of the method used by his department in taking saliva- tests for the detection of stim- ulation of horses. He stated that it was the intention of his department_ with the coopera- tion of Maritirne tracks, to have these tests made at harness race meetings this season. He spoke of the confidence it gave to the public, as shown by re- sults from other tracks in Can- ad and the United States, and would prove to many persons that stories of stimulation were far from authentic.

W. R.) Godfrey, whose photo- finisvh system is ued by all but one of the Maritime tracks, also spoke briefly, in which he out- li.ned the procedure used in connection with it.

George A. Callbeck. Summer- side, stated in his remarks. that there is great interest being shown in regard to putting the saliva test into operation this year, noting that it would be most popular with the horse- men and with the public. Other speakers included Harry’ I-Iirsch, Sydney; D. M. Lawson, Saint John; E. Frank Acorn, Char- lottetown; L. Kelly, Woodstock, N.B.; Dr. J. A. Delaney_ Mone- ton; Laurie O'Brien. Halifax; Andrew Perry Summerside: James Ferguson, Sydney; Allan Quartermain, Newcastle, N.B.; H. M- Sweeney. Bridgewater,

WANT TESTS

The outcome of the discussion on the saliva test, ‘ which also eiliicited remarks from other

speakers culminated in a mot- ion by George A. Callback that “this meeting go on record as approving of the brief prepared by Mr. S. B. Pratt of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, for pre- sentation to the government, to have race horses in the Mari- time Provinces given a saliva test and urine test at all race’ meetings.” The motion was sec- onded by_ H. M. Sweeney, Bridgewater.

Votes of thanks were "tender- ed to Don. R. Miller, S." B. Pratt, Lt. Col. D. A. MacKinnon, 17.. C. Mccurdy. J. Henry DeWitt, and Charles L. Clarke, which were heartily applauded by the mem- bers present.

Our grateful thanks is ex- tended to Ronnie ‘Goguen of Moncton, who registered the

members’ names and addresses as they filed into the meeting room, also to Dow Clowater, of Fredericton, N.B., ho was most helpful in the morn’ g sessions, when the appeals and examina- tions were conducted. The meet;

inc: concluded with the showing of “The Little Brown Jug” and “The Hambletonian”; these pic- tures have been a feature of the meeting for the last several years, and are responsible,’ to some extent for the large at- tendance.

With regards to the time made in the above race, we would say that the track then was about 5 seconds slower than it is now on race nights or afternoons. Old timers will remember the horses shown above, and their sires_ and the heated discussions that took place about those sires when horsemen got together.

Carriage-horse breeding was" one of the principal means of farm revenue in this province in those yea-rs, and because of our splendid soil, the black cats were produced, and the excel-

II Horses In Race Today

By GENE PLOWDEN

MIAMI, Fla. (AP) -- Eleven capable thoroughbreds, headed by 1957 Kentucky Derby winner Iron Liege, were entered Friday for the $50,000 added mile and an eighth McLennan Handicap at Hialeah Park today.

Iron Liege, from the powerful string of Calumet Farm racers, will carry high weight of 124 pounds but was made early choice at 3 to 1 with his stable- mate, Pintor Lea, assigned 110 -pounds.

The first period ended 3-1 for Aces, and the home forces added another goal at 9.21 of the second period. But Amherst scored twice

Clifford ".Jiggs” MacDonald to the finals in the Provincial Curling Championship at the Charlottetown Curling Club last night. They meet the Doug Cam- eron rink in the championship ‘round.

In_ reaching the title round the MacDonald rink knocked off the W. Walwyn foursome from Sum- merside by a close (score of 10-9 and the Dr. Wen MacDonald quartet in a game that had the fans buzzing with excitement. The game could have gone either way but thefinal rock clinched it for “Jiggs ’?making it 11-10.

In the earlier game between the “Jiggs” skipped rink and the W. Walwyn foursome of Sum- merside the score at the fourth end was 7-0 for the Summerside quartet but .“Jiggs" came back

very close margin.

In a contest earlier yesterday “Jiggs” lost to the Cameron foursome by a score of 14-9, so this competition which takes place this afternoon at 2:30 should prove to be a thriller. Should the Clifford'MacDonald rink win this afternoon, the game tonight will decide the is- sue. However a win‘ for the Cameron rink in the matinee match will give them the Champ- ionship, a trip to Victoria RC. and the Consols Trophy.

There will also be contests today in the consolations com- petitions. Tonight at the Curling Club, after the competitions have ceased, there will be pre- sentations of prizes to the win- ning teams.
