Hgllyrood Harmon 2.01, well known matinee trotter and mm- paignfll’, arrived Monday evening mg was given a good workout yes- terday morning by trainer Pat Mc- Kenna. Three miles were reeled off in 2.12 l-2. 2.11 3-4 and 2.13 1-2. He g owned by Bell and Clarke.

Read, Truro, N. 5.. who from time to time sends up official m“, cards of the race meets in Truro and New Glasgow. with Pin-ll’ observations. was a visitor to Char- lottetown last Saturday and warm- 1y welcomed by many friends. Like litany of us he is a. great admirer oi the harness horse and knows their breeding and performance; as well 8s anybody-

Leaier Johnston, Fortune Bridge, ova; delighted the other morning to find alongside of Dude Pill-emp- kin 2.07 l-4. a recently arrived foal by cailunet Budlong 2.02 3-4. The youngster, he thinks will be l pac- er and we predict a mighty good one.

George MacDonald, Allston, alias, writes lis that he is coming doll-n for Old Home Week and will arrive August 11th. Glad to heal‘ that George.

ll. E. Hatch of Toronto, who lakes such an interest in breeding hen ciass race horses. has had good luck with Guess Who this year. lie started twice and in the second race lowered his record to 2.15 3-4. Mr. Hatch has recently purchased Vera B. Grctilm 2-16 1-4. daln of Royal McKiIIcp 2.10 and iilc sensational pacer Grattan Mc- Klllop 2.05 1-2 and others. This mglyp I; bred to his stallion Guy Lcquois by Arion Guy 1.59 1-2. Mr. hatch also has a foal by Volomite 2T3 i-i ti at is h’ghly thought of and coming along nicely.

There was lively doings at Mon- tzzuc last Wednesday when five 1279s totalling i5 heats were run oil in less than five hours. Very creditable work by starter, officials, owner George McIntyre and secre- ialy Clifford McDonald. The rac- inc ms exceptionally good and idral another and a fast track con- tributcd to good performances throllzilcut. Highlights of the moving were the pacing cf a mile in 215 by the three-year-old Ray- mond Budlong, sired by Calumet Blltilong 2.02 3-4, dam Calumet Bee 2.11. Owned and driven by Well McNcill this juvenile won each heat of the tlrree-year-old trot and pace and set up a new record for Mari- time brcdwhree-year-old pacers- 215. '1' e former record of 2.16 1-2 was made by Guy Ann in the Fu- turity races held over the Char- lottetown track September ‘Ii-h. l9- 16. Tile Maritime bred trotting rec- ord for three-year-olds is held by’ Millie Kalmuck and was made in a performance against time Octob- er 7th. 1938, time 2.14 3-4.

In the Free for All Trot and Pace the recent import All Grattan 2.07 won in straight heats with inches only separating Jane Ami! in at least one of the finishes. Volrida, Bedtord Grattan and Rainey G. i-lcnlcy all raced well. The fastest heat was 2.07 1-2 which is wiiirin (int-quarter of a second ‘of the track record made by Patrick Di- rect August 8th, 1'!4,—2.07 1-4.

The Named Race produced some illlhrlses particularly when the "lifter Beavqrdale finished like E lion and lowered his record from 2.14 3-4 to 213. 1n the next heat he Wu just nosed out by Bonnie Scott 3110 in 2.l4 and was second the third heat to Bonnie in 2.18 1-2. Jean Henley, not, quite recovered from a recent accident, was 3-4-3 and Miss Victoria 4-3-4. Miss Vic- toria was said to have finished in the second heat with a flfght of lileed that could best be described is spectacula. In a pocket she pulled out and came fest almost ripping the leaders. Grattan Queen ind silent Mac both went good races but they were in loll hot I0mpany_

The above race was marred by In accident when Major Bowel 2.10- l-4, driven by Joe O'Brien. and Martindell 2.11, driven by Frankie Carr, mixed up. Joe was thrown to the track and dragged a consider- able distance and is still sufierinB from a bruised arm. Fortunately h‘: injuries will be repaired short- ly. The trottor Hal Britton 2.09 3-4 just could not get going or else was a bit short of work, not having raced for a couple of weeks. Any- how his performance was not up to his usual standard or it may be that he did not get the "breaks." Everyone knows that no matter how good a horse you have or how well he is driven sometimes you get into mixups or tangles that slow you down.

The 2.28 Trot and Pace saw some top notch trotting when Watchim. owned by Alderman Frank Adams. Halifax, and driven by Well Mc- Neil], and Paulabbe 2.11 1-2, own- ed and driven by Jimmie Power- hooked up in a resume of the bat- tie they staged at Northam the week Previously. Jimmie claims lrat Well talked him out of the first heat, that In the game of re- partee he turned his head and Paulabbe made a break. our ad- vice is to keep a sharp eye on friend Well. who knows all the tricks oi.’ the driving game. Watchim in win- ning the first heat in 2.11 3-4 took a new record. his former record be- ing 2.15 1-2, made in a. winninB race in Maine last season. Second to this good Volomite trotter was that doughty performer Scotty Watson. driven by E. Semple. Scot- ty was timed in close to 2.12. he shows improvement- every race. He will be a formidable factor later. The trctter little 11px 2.18. that 5|JOW6d a great lvtlrst of speed the

iGolf ch ’ship Postponed

The first round of the P. 1t‘. 1s- land golf championship has been postponed till Saturday, August 9th when Summerside golfers ‘viii

come to Charlottetown for the first round of play. Reason for the postponement

this time is the fact that it is not convenient for a number of Sum- merside players to make the trip. An inspection at the Summerside airport will keep members of the R. C. A. F. from coming here, and a number cf other Summerside golfers are out of town.

The first. round had been sched- uled originally for summerside on Saturday, July 19. Rain washed out the matches that day and on the foilowing Saturday. The golf- ers finally shifted to Charlotte. town for the frist round and are llnpin for fine weather on Aug- llst 9 when they expect to fin- ally get underway.
