In eighth place is Johnny Conroy - one up from 1950. Johnny's rac- ing efforts were confined entirely 1.0 Truro Raceway meets.

The next driver we introduce is

United States Trotting Association for the province of New Brunswick, and a first class sportsman in ev- eiy way. Mr. Dewitt is an amat- eur. attending to his own training and driving purely for the pleas- ur.-. of the sport. we are glad to see his name so well up in the list with a. percentage of .398.

Finally, as our list is limited to ten. we have Worrell Lewis of Re- serve Mines. N.S., who last year was the winner of the greatest number of heats in the Maritime: -77. and finished sixth place am- ong all the drivers in the U.s.T.A making 200 or more starts. This year he is top heat winner with 50 to his credit. 1-iis percentage is .390.

Just knocking at the door 15 Frank ilfoAlduff of tAiberton, P.E.f.. who has wandered far afield the last several years, doing only ii, limited amount of racing in the Marltimes. This year he made more starts than usual here and ended up with a percentage of .393. The horses he campaigned in the Maritlmesdncluded Pat D. 2.08 3-5 and Miss Eloise 2.12 4-5 and he also gave Campbell's Buddy his record of 2.13 at Woodstock.

The list of drivers that won hon- ors the past season could be very greatly extended because so many of them drove spectacular races and finishes that had to be photo- cd for the judges to arrive at a de- cision. Then, too. there were quite a number of drivers with less than 56 stars whose percentage of wins and places was quite good and sev- trsl of these raced in the United states to further add to their string of vicwries.

OUR DRIVERS AWAY FROM HOME

to make their presence felt wher- ever they raced, from Maine to California. Joe O'Brien, who last season was among the top winners in the United States, this season ends in tenth place mainly because of hard luck happenings to his stable. Mahlon Hanover that he cave a record of 2.04 to last year as a two-year-old and during the winter months was top favorite to win the Hambletonian. richest trot- tiiig stake in the world. developed blindness but not before he had taken a record of 2.06 over a half mile track and looked good. Joe ended up the season as the big- gest dash wiruier at the Western Harness meet at Hollywood. Cal. a few weeks ago with 18 firsts. Part- icularly pleasing to his many

three two-year-oids in the 2.10 list at that meeting.

to the great success that has come to Earle Avery, formerly of Wood- stock. and well known throughout the Marltimes as a trainer driver. In the United States he was leading driver at one big night racing meet and was well up in two others. Earle has won victor- has with trotters and pscers bred at Pieasantdsle Farm where Watchim 2.08 and Calumet Fingo 2.04 are in the stud, giving several of these iecords better than 2.10. To get to the top rank in Uncle Sam's coun- try one must be able to take young- sters and train them and win with them in the big futurlties as they carry the largest purses.

early in the spring changed the pacer ary Merk 2.08 3-5 from the pa e to the trot. She made her first start in Montague, win- him; in 2.14 4-5 and shortly after war. at Charlottetown in 2.14. On July 11 she won against a. good field of pacers at Truro in 2.11. 2.11 2-5. The former is the fastest mile trotted over the Truro Race- way the past season.

Deciding that his more was good enough to race on the better Un- llPd States tracks, Earle moved to Yonkers Raceway, N.Y. where he won dashes, then on to Roosevelt Raceway. Mary bruised her heel and was laid up for some time but on recovering the stable moved to Fnxboro where she met and de- fcated the best trotters in 2.08 2-5 In the past season's campaign she was 12 times first, 6 times second. once third and once 'fourth and

er earnings totalled around s4.500.

Frank McAIdnff was one of the loading percentage drivers at Fox- horo and a great favorite with the sneculators. In fourteen starts he won five firsts. three seconds. and three thirds. twice with Pat D., twice with Miss Eloise, giving her a trotting record of 2.12 and once vitli Campbell's Buddy.

Ileber M. Sweeney. who through

the years has owned many of the fastest pacers in the Marltlmes in- cluding the great Toll Gate 2.00- 3-4, accompanied Earle semple in his trek to the U. S. A. taking with him Hedgewood Chief 4, 2.06 2-5. Ileber was quite pleased with the way this horse raced both before going away and on his return home We started 29 times. was in the money 25 times and was only beat- on inches in 2.06 at Roosevelt Raceway. Another Maritimer who raced st Foxboro was Frank Daniels, who won ith the pacer Aubrey Bud- long a 2.11 2-5 and had other successes.

In the province of Quebec Louis Praught has been going quite strong and we noticed his name- frequently heading summaries with trotters and pacers. Last year he was one of the leading drivers there.

NEW SPEED BROUGHT IN
