‘Ilhe morning after their arrival at Lexington they went to the track and found Castleton Farm stables and were looking at In- dian Land when Joe O‘Brien came to the door and read the race program for the day. He didn't notice them until he was almost up to them and got a great sur- prise and was mighty pleased. That afternoon they were sitting in the reserved seats when the $10000 Hanover Shoe Farms two- year-old pacing stake was called. Joe was driving Miss Morris Chief and was not given any kind of a- chlmce, as she was a complete outsider, and was starting in ninth position. Tlheir conversationcaught the attention of s lady and gen- tleman sitting in the next aisle who they found out were the owners of Miss Morris Chief.

"Yes, we saw the trotter Proximity takeher record of 1.59 3-5. Demon Hanover his three-year-old record of 2.00- 1-5. and Night Dream his three- year-old pacing record of 1.59.

According to Thursday night's

meeting at the City Hall, much

interest is being shown in the

purchase of n "cnmnlunliy horse." . t . .

Jimmy Power, popular local horseman and owner, who is poo- nlotlllg the project, reported that l0 subscriptions of $100 each, plus n number of $25 amounts have zliready been received.

c . t .

The object of the "community horse" is to purchase a worthwhile trotier 0r pacer with funds con- tributed by interested persons in the community. to compete in free- fcfr-all competitions throughout Maritime racing circles. A canvass of interested persons in the City and surrounding districts will be carried out this uveek and next.

. . o .

It is reported that a lot of good horses are going for sale at liar- risburg, Pa, next month, and it is believed that there vwill be no dif- ficulty m securing a suitable trot- ter or pacer to cmmpele in the fastest classes in Maritime racing circuits. Permission has bee re"- ceived to secure American funds for pulmhzlse purposes. so that there will be no difficulty in that respect. Mr. Power will make the purchase.

O O i O

The affair is not one that is be- ing handled in a, hop-hazard manner, but is being well organ- ined. with a competent ccmmittee having already been appointed to handle the funds and to govern the care and management. cf the "ccmlmilnlly horse."

o . . o

The University of New Bruns- wick made a great showing last Wednesday at Sackvllle when they amassed a total of 811 points at the annual inter-collegiate track and field meet to Iwin the coveted Dennis Tb-opily, emblematic cf Maritime senior track and field supremacy. Their nearest ccm- petitor was Si, RX. who placed second with a total of 49 points.

A strong. fast Industrial Hockey league is being proposed for this winter in New Brunswick accord- ing to a recent announcement made hy LJ, Cormier, president of the Moncfon Buslll League.

The pro-posed league will include representative teams from West- mcrland County, the hllrnmichl, North Shnrehnd other sections of the Province. A meeting will be held at Shedinc on October 24th. to discuss flbe formation of such a league.

In yesterday's exhibition foot- ball game between P.W.C. and Queen Square School, the heavier college boys won out by a 6-3 score, and despite the fact -tl1at there was only a small crowd of fans‘ on hand to watch the game, the youngsters really put every- thing into the match and played fast hard hitting foc-tball all the way, with an exhibition of fight- ing spirit which is seldom wit- nessed. to such extent, in some of the senior squads,

O O O O '

A thing which stood out as a bit of a smudge on the evident lack of ctr-operation torwsrds school football which was very noticeable to those who watched the game, was the luck of proper Playing facilities for these youngsters who are Iwllling to go out there and play for all their worth just for the love of the game.

Visitors Comment On Game Bird Prospects

The Hun Trials elicited many

interesting comments by some of-

the visitors regarding tho bird situation and the possibility of developing a. valuable sport for which Prince Edward Island seems to be particularly well suited.

“Prince Edward Island doesn't know vuhst it's got." Dick I-Ioyer declared flatly. “This is s hunt- er's paradise and as near to southern hunting country as can he found anywhere in the U. S. I've hunted five states and I find P. 132.1. tops them all."

Asked why, he explained: The terrain is especially suitable, very open country where the footing and gunning are easy on the sv- erage hunter; the country is as yet unspoiled by over-hunting: the co-operation of fanrners, in both their interest in the birds during the winter. rind allowing their lands to be shot over; the initia- tive and interest shown ‘by the Charlottetown Kennel Club and the general hospitality of Islanders towards the visitors, with more pleasant facilities than are available elsewhere.

One time n well-known profess- ional dog trainer, Mr. Hoyer is considered today as one of the out- standing judges in New England. An authority on the study of wild life, he is s consultant of the Mass. Wild Life Survey, was game man- age-r for the Amiovcr Academy in that state, riircclor of the New England Softer Club and, a few yours ago director and secretary of the National Grouse Champion- ship and staged this-one of the largest—trials in the U. S.

"Something Wonderful"

Mr. Hoyer ls quoted here as the spokesman for the whole group of U. S. sportsmen who left yester- day for the Moncton Trials. But to quote another, Ray Goland, ajudge, breeder and handler of his own (logs: "There's something wonder- ful ou the Island which cannot be duplicated in the east," he declar- ed: but added this warning, "Should restrictions be lifted, two years _wili deplete the breeding supply-unless an extensive pro- gramme of propagation and con- servation of birds is initiated."

In an interview yesterday with the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. W. F. A. Stewart intimated that little or no money would be avail- able this year for the importing of birds. He feels it is only fair to

It seems s shame that someone can't take n little interest in thou youngsters and see that they have It Iwi I fairly well mum out field to play on. and hnw proper standards so that they can st lea-st have the privilege of attempting a convert after making s touch.

In connection with the (orth- comlng Isinnd amateur ‘ ' _ chanwiondaipc. which will ho held at the Armouries on Oct. 20th., it was reported that two new entries hm been received locally, which according to our count, makes l2 in all co for, with good prospects for entries from Summersid High end P.W.C. still to cane in, as well u entries tom other Isisnd centres.

distribute the money this year to (he fishing side of Island sport and believes that the birds are now able to propagate themselves with- out further importation.

It is felt by many local sports- men, however, that it would be a tragedy to lose the ground hard- won in the last seven or eight years for the sake of s false eco- nomy.

Like any other practice in breed- ing it is necessary to introduce new blood lines to avoid the in- breeding which is the cause of re- duced stamina, nnd Mr. Iioyer, who had no other idea than that the birds would be brought in again this year, suggested that they should be bought at different farms in order to mix the blood-lines.
