Th upshot should a full dress executive meeting of the Canadian Trotting Association called on Saturday afternoon to decide whether Connaught, on th Quebec aide can continue Sunday racing (or which there 'ia no provision in Ontario, while the new Orieton Raceway operate aix night week near Ottawa.

Th battle, now I -not to easily understandable for the reason that the Canadian Trotting Association executive coro- imittee give Connaught permission in a signed telegram from Us secretary to continue Sunday racing. Rideaii Carleton can't rac on Sunday and the assumption haa to be that th CTA felt this wa an easy manner of resolving th lituation for thi year. Now comes rebellion within th CTA and Zon Three, which, you'll hive to admit i beavUy weighted on th (id of Ontario with ix-'director from that province aa against .1 on from th Quebec side.

While nobody has a right to suggest to anybody where they win or lose their own dollars, perhaps It ia trite to observe that Ottawa and Hull areas have got along reasonahty well for many years. A litis common sense and fairness should be helpful In resolvng this situation. Th CTA ha a responsibility to the public, the track and horsemen.
