In conclusion, we want to say that this “‘horse bug”’ is a disease that is hard to get rid of. It has its sorrows and frustrations, but it also hasan almost irresis- tible appeal. GREAT ICE RACING
In. all our years of experience jwe can’t recall |tce racing saw the development of so much extreme speed. Quar- ters in 30 seconds are --com- mon, but last Saturday afternoon on the Hon. Dougald MacKinnon Speedway at the North River Causeway, a winter pacing re- cord for a quarter mile dash was set up, when Myrtle E., driven by Lorne Kelly, stepped the sec- ond dash in the free-for-all in 2 25 seconds, and Gingerbread ;Man, driven by Emmett Ber- nard, won the third dash of the same event in 28 3-5.
In the class “B’’ Pace Cal’s
-|Boy (Smith) won all three dash-
es, with the final dash in 30 sec- onds. He is a green pacer that should be a good campaigner this season. He is owned by Stanley Mayhew of Kinkora.
This afternoon, another fine ice racing program will be staged at the North River speedway. TURN ON SPPED
They are turning on the speed at Ben White Raceway at Or- lando, Florida. Last week De! Miller and Billy Haughton both drove two-year-old colts in 2.24 on the trot, The,general opinion is that this season's colts train- ed at Ben White Raceway wil be among the best that have ever been located there.
The following is from the March lth. edition of “The Harness Horse” - “The differ- ence between $5 million in 1952 and $50 million in 1958 summariz es the growth of the sport of har ness racing in the city of Mont- real, the metropolis of Canada.
“The first figure is the pari- mutue] take at Richelieu Par! after the first season of operation in the fall of 1962. The next year Blue Bonnets, the oldest racing establishment in Quebec, bade farewell to the ‘runners’ and brought in the more colorful and less expensive trotters and pac ers.

Is Organized
Bridge enthusiasts in Char lottetown have organized a bridge club to be called the P.E.I. Duplicate Brid-e Lea- gue.
With some 50 members now in the fold competitions are planned each Monday evening at 8 p.m. at the Charlottetown Hotel.
Tournament bridge will be in vogue and competitors will have
that would enable them to qualify for championship tour- naments.
ful venture, we take into con- sideration the fact that last year the Blue Bonnets racing plant was sold for $5,500,000 to a syn- dicate headed by the well known and wealthy J. Louis Levesque from Montreal: (Incidentally, Mr Levesque is a graduate of St. Dunstan's University in Charlot- tetown, and was a classmate of Pius Callaghan, sports editor of this paper).
“The figure of $50 million is the amount wagered at Blue Bon- nets and Richelieu tracks during the 1958 racing season, and is a far cry from the $5 million wag ered on those tracks in the year 1952"’
SELLS HALF INTEREST
Charles Ruderman, owner and breeder of Circo, 2, 2.06 2-5, re- cord taken on a half-mile track- the top money-winning two-year old trotter of 1958, has sold a half interest in him to Arthur Nardin of New York City. The price was reported to be $50, 000.
Mr. Nardin owns the famous pacer, Trader Horn, 4, 2.00, that has won $200,000, and both hors- @s will be raced in the stable of Billy Haughton.
