Sweepstakes were for ttvo-yeeJ-olds and the fee In enter was $10.00. The three- year-olds and four-year-olds also paid the sfllme entrance fee. There were other sweepstakes at $5.00 and the distance was a mile ex- eept for the two-year-olds whioii was one-half mile. The final event was a.

Over Abbies Stars Return

A capacity house estimated be- tween i800 and 200'.) people wit- nessed and enjoyed the splendid sports program at the Forum last night sponsored by the Charlotte- town Fire Department in co-oper- ation with the P. E. I. Innkeepers Association.

The hockey game between ilie Abbies and the Summerside Crystals (The Stars of Yesteryear) was the outstanding feature of the eve- ning. The Crystals walloped the Abbies to the tune of 8-3 in a convincing victory but this was no indication of its calibre of play displayed by both teams. The roar of the crowd as the old rivals battled it out and the exclamations of approval or disapproval as plays were made or lost was really reminiscent of yesteryear. Pro- minent in many clever plays last night were such name stars as Chick Gallant and Jackie Schur- man of the Crystals and Chick Williams and Perc Rodd of the Abbies. It was a battle all the way by these old rivals and a crowd pleasing game. Charlie Cahill form- er NHL. star and now of Sum- merside handled the game. A ne- turn game between the old timers is scheduled for Summerside next Tuesday vJren the Summerslde Fire Department will be hosts at a similar sports night.

The -firemen‘s sports and City school races in between I, periods were ueii contested and greatly rnjoyed. The lucky winner of the tcu dollar prize for identifying Miss Anonymous was Mi". Jim Mac- Grrgor — Miss Vcrnn Iiurdlng, Charlottetown, was t.hc mystery skater. The two clmvns, members of the Fire Department, kept ire crowd howling throughout their performance. All ln all it was a great evening's entertainment and a credit to the Charlottetown Fire Department. more so in that all members just came off duty fight- ing an 8-hour blaze one hour be- fore their entertainment was due 1c commence.
