oulinr resiliency oi the turi. Mr. Thomas will be a busy man, because there is a large number oi good speed prospects in this locality, whose Dwners will be anxious to see them worked by a good trainer.

D1111 Jardlne to Train at Summersid

‘rile astute and capable leinsman and litter, Oran Jardine, oi Chat- hnm, N. B., will be domiciled at the summcrside Race Track for the com- lllg racing season. He will have charge oi Captain Road's valuable liable of race horses. He also has charge oi the "sweet" little pacer "Because," 2.12%, “which he cam- poigned on P. E. Island ovals lait reason. Race going enthusiasts will remember Jardines pectac lnr drive with Hal Tipton, in the 2.27 class at Viontague, last August 13th, after the 1am" between the fast pncers "Lucky Lindy" and "Jacqueline," and the ensuing debacle, ‘ like a meteor from third or fourth position, he caught Sempl‘ unaware and lllosed" the Jacqueline mare out in tho last iilty feet. Jardine, with his genial personality, will naturally be popular with P. E. Island racing men illld trainers. v ' *

' Great vSeason Promised

The comingscason promises to be the liveliest ever on Prince Edward Island. ‘There are more good, fast horses and far greater popular inter- sst displayed in speed than at any previous time in the racing history oi the province. The spectacular per-

There is a large number oi well bred colts in the country, which have scarcely been tried out. ‘Ihere is hound to be some luminaries among them. Many oi our most ac- tive-, horsemen have gone abroad and purchased a large numbe oi fast horscs, some of which will be seen in action this summer. 1i we can keep on improving in our speed con- tests, as we did last summer, the pendulum will soon be swinging the

‘other way, and, people from far

abroad will be coming here ior their speedy horses. We are in a iair way now to cop the laurel crown as a 59ml producing province. We should not endure an inferiority complex any longer.

Nova Scotla Government Buys Great Speed Sire

That the Nova Seotia Government is thoroughly alive to the possibilities °l Sliced in light harness racing is evidenced by its purchase recently oi one oi the greatest speed sires in all America, viz., the last trotting succcssor to ths great speed getter, Qaotaln Aubrey, 2.01%. ‘who died Iomo short time ago.

But it's the old iellow's fault that he was taken in captivity. He snapped on the beach at Newport when the tide went out. ‘The coast guard tied him and offered the prise to the Portland park bureau.

TRANSPORTATION CONDI- TIONS IMPf/JVED-Jrhe car ierry made five round trips yesterday. The Strait is gradually clearing ‘oi ice, and transportation is now greatly facilitated. The ferry made freight trips throughout the night in an en- deavor to relieve the traffic tie-up at Borden and Tormentine.

POTATO liIABKBr-Potato prices have advanced slightly over those or last week, and demand is at present keen. Bad roads, however, hamper lhlbplng at local points. The price ior Green Mountain table stock is at present 40 cents, ior Cobbler seed, 40 cents and for Mountain seed, so cents. During last week, while the car ferry was blocaded in the ice, only five cars oi potatoes a day were shipped to the mainland.

NEW BERITII FOR HISTORIC SHIP

PORTLAND, Ora, April 8.-'I‘here seems to be no room here in Willam- ette river harbor ior the once proud old battleship Oregon that steamed around the Horn during the Span- ish American War. The old ship had been berthed here and kept by state appropriations. But a new site is necessary and city and state author- ities are in a quandary where she will be put.

Y. BASKETBALL

In a very poor and crude exhibi- tion of basketball Mount A. defeat- ed the local boys by the score o! 40-91. At no time did the game show real good basketball. -Mount A. as collegian champions did loo much stalling to show up to advantage. 1n both last night's and Saturday's games this was very evident. The first game played at Backvxllls was good to watch but the people of Charlottetown law no championship play. It is feared we must attribute tau u» the loss of their m: cehtre, Gordon White, who at times in Baokviilo seemed master oi the game. w, grettly regret White was absent from the line-up here. His presence would be a help to the Mount A. players.
