DDWK TllE DADK STRETDII Allie Lewis, Reserve Mines, C l. was an interested spectator ai the Covehead races on Wednesday afternoon and was warmly greeted by his many friends here. Allie has handled some of the fastest in the Maritime Provinces including the ex-Tommy Murphy Grand Cir. cuit star pacer Lambert Todd 2.02 1-2. He could train and drive with the best in the land. Two years ago he brought the trotter Lee Brewer 2.06 3-4 to Covehead where he reeled off three winning miles, the best in 2.10 2-5, which was a new track trotting record. An important sale was made yes- terday when the five-year-old bay mare Ola Butilong 2.10 3-5, by Calumet Budlong 12.02 3-4, was sold by Rzinnio MacDonald, Montague, to J. H. Dewitt, Woodstock, N.B.

As a four-year-olti she made ten starts, won f1\'(\ hem; and had ivinnincs of $5 .00 for the year. This svzison she has been bus)’ from the fir , racing once or twice every week.

The sire is also the sire of Calumet Budlong 2.02 3-4, and the dam Mae Worthy is also the dam of Abbe Worthy 2.05, both owned by Frank McKay. We un- derstand there are quite a num- ber of good colts by Calumet Duds ii the vicinity of St. Peters. Commander G. H_ Buntain has furnished us with figures that will be of interest to every reader of this column. During the racing season just concluded the Char-l lottetown Driving Park and Pro- vincial Exhibition Association, ltarting June 19th held seventeen night races and six afternoons of racing — four during Old Home Week and two at the Goodwill meet. The total amount in purses paid out was 347.280 —- by far the largest amount ever paid out by any race track in the Maritime Provinces. Chatting with various owners at the track we heard amounts such as $1.400, $1,300, $1200 and $1,000 freely spoken of as being won by horses in their ltable. Certainly there never has been s race season in the Marl- tirries where horses were given pneh an opportunity to earn money. l! - Bright Spot, by Abbedale 2.01 , -4, one of the favorite race mares of the Maritimes. has been sold by Goodwill Stables, Sussex, to E. W. Umphrey, General Sales Mana- 'ger for General Motors of Canada. Ltd and goes to Merryland Farms, Oshawa, Ontario, to be used as a lhow mare and afterwards en- ‘ter the breeding ranks. She was Imported to the Maritimes by Car- men Coates of Amherst, N. S. as l three-year-old with a record of 2.12, which was later lowered to 2.09 l-2 at Covehead, P. E. I. Last season with Frankie Carr up she won 28 heats. being in second place as a heat winner for Mari- time trotters and paccrs to Scott Spencer. Just prior to hcr salc lhe won the 2_l6 mixed at Fred- ericton in 2.13 l-5. heading a fast field. The Goodwill Stable acquir- ed her from Mrs. Grant Willis of Charlottetown about two years ago. She is a full sister to Mr. Pnrteous 2.04 1-2. We are glad to lee Bright Spot now that her rac- ing career is over, going to such I good home. She is a lovable mare and a great favorite with race fans wherever she competed. Reference to the above we receiv- ad the following letter from Reg Younker, Lsurentian Hotel, Mon- treal_ Arrived safely with Bright Bpot. Mr. Umphrey has a nice farm and wonderful caretaker who has taken a great fancy to Bright Spot.

In: won the Two Year Old Psce, ‘ iownsd by George Bi-ookins. and Mr. Brookins a agrees “ll of mm 1e Peter Willidsen, a native of Den- mark, who is employed by him and whom the colt is named after, for its development, size, man- ners and many other good quali- ties. He gave him all his education prior to turning him over to Clar- ence Schuman last Spring for training. Mr. Brookins is also greatly pleased with Mr. Schu- man's training and driving of the colt. In conversation with Tyndall Semple regarding ‘the two-year- old trotting colt Tyndall Semple. he said he never saw a pair of shafts until last April and it was not until after the 10th of June that he went to the track. He had only one score previous to his start on Saturday. The annual meeting of the P_ E. I. Harness Racing Club (whose futurities were raced last Satur- day night) will be held 1n the City Building st eight o'clock Tuesday evening October llth. A full state- ment of the operations of the Association for the year will be furnished to all- members at that meeting by Secretary W. G. Gil- lcspie. Thirty-one trotters including every top standard bred perform- ing at that gait in the United States, have been entered for the $50,000 Golden West Trot on No- vember 19th at the Western Har- ness Association's 35-day Grand Circuit meeting at Hollywood Park, California. This great ar- ray of trotters is headed by Rod- ney, 1948 Golden West champion and horse of the year. Rodney set a record of 1.58 there and heads a quartette of two-minute perform- ers including Egan Hanover 1.59. Proximity 1.59 3-4 and Full Bloom 1.58 4-5, Both Egan Hanover, Rod- ney‘: full brother, and Proximity have defeated Rodney this season. Rodney while a wonderful trotter on a mile track, is handicapped on the shorter turns of a half-mile track. He will come to the post favorite for the $50000 event un- less some accident happens in the meantime. What would appear to be the richest purse in the world will be raced in France October 9th. It is the Prix de L‘Arc de Triomphe, which has been increased from five million francs to 25 million francs. On paper this is a terrific amount of money but brought down to Canadian currency it fig- ures out to about $250,000. William H_ Cane, multi-mlllion- alre, owner of Goshen’! mile track. was one of the most successful contractors in New York state years ago. He happened to require recreation and someone recom- mended him to get interested in a good trotter. That is how he met up with the late Walter Cox. Each season after that Cox was buying the best colts st the fall sales and winning with them for the Good Time Stable. Then Mr. Cane ac- quired the Goshen mile track. spent a lot of money on it and put on greet meetings there year after year featuring the Hamble- tonian, the richest trotting purse in the world. Last year he had the best two-year-old pacer out, Good Time 2.02 1-5. winner of $46,433.13, this year he has won the first mile of the Geers Stake in 1.59 3-5 and is expected to lower that mark at Lexington Lest Thumday he won the season's richest purse for 8 year old pscers-The Little Brown Jug at Deleware, Ohio, his share- $23,312.48. Our Time. owned by Mr. Cane is a full sister to Good Time and a midget pacer too. This year in addition to winning s pot of money she paced to a world's record for juvenile fillies at Se- dalia, Mo.-2.02 3-5, and just I short time ago took down the win- ncr's share of the $27,000 Fox Stake at Indianapolis, Indiana. Some think she will pace in two minutes at Lexington. The best two-year-old trotting colt as we have pointed out in this column is Lusty Song, but closely follow- ing or perhaps superior is Flora- can, owned by E. Roland Harrie- man_ The fastest mile ever trotted or paced by a thi-ee-year-old was by Titan Hanover, owned by E. Roland Harrlman — 1.58. It. may be many years before another such precocious juvenile appears. That race in which he took his record is thought to have caused enlarge- ment of the heart. Anyhow, he never showed anything like equal form again. Fall meetings this year have run into bad weather. Goodwill races scheduled for Thursday had to be postponed until Saturday when they were successfully completed. The 2.28 Pace, second division, was won by Julia Budlong, owned by Keir Woodside, Malpeque. and driven by Walter Craig with 1-5; Direct Volo 2nd, owned by James Power and driven by Teddy Weir, was 6-1; Dot Budlong (Nicholson) 2-2, Happy Vernon (L_ Kelly) 8-4, three other starters. time, 2.21, 2.19 l-5.

Ace McCIoskey Plans Comeback 0n Fisiit: Trail According to recent reports, Ace McCluskey, former Charlottetown middleweight, has come out of retirement to make a comeback along the fistic trail in Maritime boxing circles, and so far seems to be making a success of it. Act, who retired from active participation in the squared cir- clc over a year ago as Maritime middleweight champion, is no stranger to local fight fans, who have many times seen him in ac- tion here as the hard-hitting. smooth boxer he is, and many will be glad to hear that he is back into the game again_ Making his first debut since his retirement, Ace scored a decision over Alvin Upshaw of Halifax in a ten-round feature attraction at Yarmouth, N.S. last Saturday. and is scheduled to put his title on the line at Chatham. N.B., on October 12th, when he will meet Yvonne Durrell of Bay St. Anne. N.B.. who is one of the foremost Maritime middleweight contend- ei-s.

King scaled 135 1-2, Prnda 13G 1-2. Hoots from the gallery greeted the decision. The 22-year-old King landed a stunning left hook flush on the button of the South American ear- ly in the second round. Down he went but he bounced up at the count of seven by referee Teddle Martin. King was guilty of hitting and holding in the third and fourth rounds, shaking his long right around Pradifs head to work on his body with a left hook, The knockout and the wide early lead did the trick for King, a tricky warrior out of Blinky Pal- ermo's Philadelphia stable which also includes the world light- Wflllht kinSi Ike Williams.

We've entered on the last week prior to the opening of the duck season and anticipation grows with each passing day. By the time the next Comer appears on Saturday morning October 1st, a big pile of money will have been blown into the morning air in the form of powder, shot. and waddlng. Shells are high this season and_ one wants to try and make every shot count although such a feat is rarely pos- sible. A duck should be within 40 yards to make a reasonably sure target and the gunner should see that. the bird is 1n the right: posi- tdon ao that it. will drop in a spot where a. retrieve is possible. O O O An experienced gunner has a pretty fair idea of where the duck will fall if he connects fairly. I once watched an old gunner let a big. black duck swing past to his right within good shooting range without firing. I was young at the time and asked why he didn't: shoot. “Son”, he replied although I wasn't. his son, “whatfd be the use 0f shooting that duck . .. it would fall back in that. quaking bog where even it dog couldn't, reach it". Later two ducks crossed to his left; and he killed one with each barrel. Both birds fell in open and firm terrain and were quickly picked up. How many shooters fire at. every duck that comes within range, and at; many that: are not within range, and begin to worry about; retriev- iflg them after they are down, I'd far rather shoot two ducks and bring them to the game pocket. than shoot five and only retrieve three. With shells at; better than 10c each, 1t doesn't pay to throw them away, neither does it. pay to waste ducks. I have watched gun- ners pass-shooting at ducks com. ing into the rice beds at Pisquid Pond and using shot. as large as BBs and double As. sometimes a duck from a high flying flock would lurch and then plane off at an angle gradually losing altitude until it crashed into a spruce wood a good quarter mile distant, some years ‘ago I. was shooting at; Pisquid Pond It was late in the season and one Plsquid Pond black duck was well worth driving la or 20 miles for ii rice-fed black is hard to beat on a platter.
