Pari-niut- uels will be in operation. The meet- lng will be followed by several others in the Provinces of Alberta ma Saskatchewan. some thirty yvlifs and more ago Alberta was mm of the best racing provinces In western Canada and some of the 13,195: pacera in the world came from there. but the runners got in mg strong and gradually forced lilo lrotters and pacers out of the p1CK,Ul'C.

The latest news from Orlando. Florida. has been released by Mary Louise Bock. whose column is right up to the mark in everything that. goes with good harness horse news. We quote . . . . "Training time is getting shorter and stables head- ing for the early raceway meetings are beginning to bear down in their work. Miles in 2.20 and better for the older horses are C0mm0nDIuuu and the California bound horses for the fast classes worked in 2.10 or better before leaving Ben White Raceway. still tops among the large groups of two-year-olds here is the glib-galted pacing filly Fear- less Way by King's Counsel 1.58. dam. Jane Azofi i.59”.x. owned, by Jordan Bros. Rockford. Ill., and trained by Henry Thomas. She has been a standout through all of her training. Her mile in 2.18 still stands as a season's record over the mile oval and this week she copped the half-mile title as well by a sparkling mile in 2.193; She came the last half in'l.0li and turn-

34 over the half-mile oval." Miss Book's interesting column we note where the aged horses in Nat Ray's stable have worked in 2.22 or better and his three-year-olds in 2.2l. His only two-year-old work- ed in 2.44. Nat Ray is not too far from eighty years old and has been training and racing horses since a small boy. His father. Charles Ray. was a trainer of runners in Eng- land. He emigrated to Canada and trained runners in Toronto and Nail; rode them. when he got too heavy for the runners he started training harness horses and was one of the top meniboth over the ice and over the turf in Ontario for a number of years. It was Nat that gave Grattan Royal his life- time mark of 2.03'."s and but for an "' t which caused lame- ness. he no doubt would havergiven him a mark of 2.00 or better. lknle McTsgue and Johnny Conroy will remember Nat well. he was very friendly to all of us when we raced in Toronto, and we are glad to see that he is still keeping up his suc- cesses.
Another trainer that we always take an interest in is Sep Palin. who holds more world's records than any other man with trotters and pacers. Son is back again hand- ling the stable of the millionaire octogenerian. E. C. Baker. owner of Greyhound 1.5514. worldis champ- ion trotter and the former owner of such great horses as King's Counsel 1.58 etc. Sen and he part- yed company for a while and a few years ago Sep'x second trainer, Jimmie Wingficld. went on his own. Now the trio are united and are making speed slowly with their charges in Florida. but from what. we can glean they have some top notch prospects and it may be that
be winning a lot of the big awards.
At Azalea. Florida. mile track. Earle Avery is getting quite a bit of the spotlight because of the performance of his two-year-old Victory Mon. that stepped in 2.20 with the last quarter in 33 seconds. and Uhleen Fingo by Calumet Fin- go. was in 2.22 with the last quar- ter in 32:.-2.

Sport Echoes From A Prince county
Seems there has been a minor rhubarb regarding the picking of the most valuable player in the Summerside Mercury team, and as we were one of the Judges, we should like to present our view of the case. True, our fellow sportswriter. John MacNeill, has come forward in defend the judges in their decision. and we thank John for this gallant gos- lure. but just the same weld like to give the bocke-y'fans of Sum- merslde an idea of how we feel
about the matter. We do this without more ado.

Stanley "Mooney" Gallant won
the award by a majority of points as given by three judges. of which we were one. Each judge had to pick his first, second, and iliird rhnicc with three, two and one points given to the candidates in that order. "Mooney" Gallant was not on our list. Layton Scliurman was. Yet "Mooney" was ahead on points when the votes were all in. and that, fellow members of this democratic coun- try, is good enough for us. 0 O I C
It was a free election. No bribes were offered or accepted. We were not even driven to the polls. and on otir way dazzled with the sight. of folding money pressed into our itching palm. Ad- nilt it. folks, you can't always get such slmoii pure elections as that in this Garden of the Gulf. None of the candidates offered us a job as road foreman or forty-second assistant to the minister of pub- lic curbs and catch basins. In voi- ing, we let our conscience be our guides. Can you ask anythins more pure and undeiiied. than that? e o o .
Vve roprai "we didn't vote for the winner. But, who are we that should think our judgment is something over and above the judgment of nilicr men? How do people get that way? That they fondly think that because they rate a certain Di-WP? HIE hPSl. hf! must he. Pr:-sumptuous. 10 533' N"! lcnst. '

Following this the boys and girls. about twenty-six of them. gather- ed around the piano to warble out a few old songs-a few Irish ones too and Dr. Fisher led them in "Alouctte."

A check on the Creel Census rc- turna submitted to date shows that the anglers have averaged 87.5! trout each. Hunters have averaged 9.5 I-Iuns. 1.6 pheasants and 121 Ruifed grouse. Considering that a few have reported havins cauxht no trout or shot any game and others as low as one, or two as their total bag for the season the general average is surprisingly high. A conservative estimate places the number of hunters in the prov- ince. both urban and rural. in ex- cess of ten thousand. I
Returns from approximately 20 per cent of the licenses issued have -been received and tabulated. This return is sufficient for an overall picture and there is no reason to believe that future creel census returns will greatly change the present trend. on the basis of an estimated 12.000 anglers in the province the present average of 37.5 trout per angler would in- dicate ii calch of trout last season in excess of one million. . . .
on the basis of the percentage to date the estimated ten thous- and hunters in the province bag- ged last season approximately 96.- 000 iluns. 15.000 pheasants and 12.000 Euffed arouse. who said we had no trout or game in the province? Game returns are vai- uable and should be made com- pulsory.
