Ever THECithiert SPORTFC01111111 etv Eeffeet 9evadois Golf was introduced to Canada in the 60's bY‘Officers of ships from the Old Country, who played in Montreal and Quebec on 3-hole courses, and in 1873, six. years after Confederation, a group of the original players met in Montreal, and created the Montreal Golf Club, since re-named Royal Montreal. There are no records to prove it, but undoubtedly there was harness racing, for that sport dates back in America to 1770, and the great Flora Temple was history when Confederation took place. Of course Canada had great winter sports programs, away back beyond, and through Confederation. There were skating races in the winter, dating as far back as 1859, when officers of the Montreal Garrison raced to Quebec, a tidy run. The first covered rink built in Canada, according to such re- cords as are available was built in the Ancient Capital, hilly Quebec City in the middle 1850'a. Montreal followed dilatorily in 1859, and in the same. year organized the Montreal Skating Club. In 1862, there was built in Montreal,' in what is now the heart of the Canadian metropolis the Victoria rink, where gala fancy dress balls and carnivals were held. This rink holds hockey history, too, for here the first Stanley Cup games of all times were played, in the dowdy nineties. And there was football, whether English Rugby or soccer, we couldn't say. But the Montreal Football Club was formed in 1868, a year after Confederation. There was tobogganing. too, and snow-shoeing, with the Montreal Snowshoe Club formed in 1840. And there would be many paddling contests then, cert- ainly not the great regattas of today, but the canoe was then a useful form of conveyance, and tests of speed would be a natural outcome. So Y.oung Canada, in 1867, had plenty of sport, plenty of fun sport in its truest amateur sense, mostly, and young Canada live 'a pretty good life without radios, automobiles, bicycles, and a le of the things which are regarded as essential in these more high pressure times. It must have been a good life then, with n threat of A-bombs or H-bombs, no Communists, and none of lot of things we could very well do without. Your comments and suggest/on for fills column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, C/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITS ' AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO This is the third and last of a series of columns which have, perhaps sketchily, and with omissions, dealt with sport as Canada enjoyed it at Confederation in 1867, and before. 'Perhaps you were surprised when, earlier in this series we remarked that on Canadian soil in pre-Confederation days, there had been fought two or three world heavyweight championship fights. But records prove it: They are not the exact records that have prevailed the last fifty or sixty years, but still records. And here is the story, "Flaming Ben" Hogan, a picturesque figure, who was a Civil War spy, gambler and oil magnate, claimed the heavyweight fistic title, just about 1867, and fought Bob Donnelly for it at Fort Erie, Ontario. Morrissey had fought john C. Heenan, "The Benica Boy" for the world title at Long Point, in Canada. John 3. Dwyer fought Jim Elliott at the same Long Point in the 70's, in another fight for the heavyweight title both claimed. So even with this sketchy background, you can, be sure that some boxing existed in Canada even before Confederation. 0=o••=n•FS TOTAL Per Week 40c THE TELEGRAM 6 !swat Per Week PLUS WEEKEND PICTURE MAGAZINE PLUS 16 PAGES OF COLORED COMICS STILL WILY 25c WITH EVERY WEEK YOU SAVE 115c TP.,LY HOME DELIVERY For Homo- Dottvery- of The Tely, hleoie confaef The Tay datrtaaSolotreqh be veer street Write The Tolegtere, Rey and KelInde tfs.0 Toren% 1, TeleohOno WAvotley 6011 THE TELEGRAM -111,011$DAY, 71.4.T 10,, 1908 -CUNTON CORR PAGE F Station and Ad astral Park N„ Editor; F/9 0. 11, Leigilleado PRO No Phone hone 382 Local 41 tl:/WS Assistant; P/0 Delon TUrlaOr 85 Local 11 • R `RE REEL - -ONE COMPANY OF CAMARA A/VIM Campbell School Holds Excellent Picnic AIVI1VII Hugh Campbell School and Miss Clara M.

Hutton, CD, aCornmanding Officer of RCAF Station Clinton, presented the pupils graduating from Grade '8, ,Gordon Chambers and Donald Craig, with the Aivilvr Hugh -Campbell crest, and rings bearing the Airforce insignia. In a very brief address, GIC E. A,D. Hutton stated that the hon- our of the school rests on the shoulders of these graduates, as they proceed from elementary to Secondary education. WIC B. G. .Mille.", CD, chairman of the school board, presented Miss Clara M. Clark, kindergarten leacher, with. a gift of jewellery. Miss Clark is planning to go to Western Canada in the fall. WIC Miller also presented Mrs. E. Wendorf, music supervisor, with a gift in appreciation of her service .xluring the past year. The picnic was under the super- vision of C. A. Trott, principal; Maitland Edgar, Mrs. Margaret Chambers, Miss Doreen McGuire Pee Wee Golf For RCAF Personnel RCAF Station, Clinton, rapidly expanding to become one of Can- ada's largest air stations, In this respect the recreational facilities for its personnel are not being neglected. Friday night S1L Ray Henderson, Station Entertainment Officer, officiated at the opening of the new miniature golf course, GIC E, A. D. Hutton CD, the Commanding Officer, played a challenge match against Squadron Leader G. J. Bury, Assistant Chief Instructor at 1 Radar and Com- munications School.. Immediately following this hil- arious match, which adequately demonstrated what not to do in golf, t18 hole course was op- ened toll personnel of the Stat- ion. To the best of our knowledge it is the first RCAF Station to provide a pee wee golf .course for the entertainment of the boys and girls in blue. However, it is not the only new recreational innovation at Clinton. For the more ardent golf fans, a driving range was opened last week with plenty of clubs and balls available. In addition, construction is ,a1- ready well under way on a set of• tennis courts which will be com- pleted this month and will .pro- vide ample opportunity for par- ticipation in this healthy outdoor sport. The operating expenses of all these new facilities will be borne by those who use them. Each player will be charged a nominal fee sufficient to defray costs. Credit for these- new sports fac- ilities is due to the efforts of GIC Hutton, the Commanding Officer, SIT. Duff, the Chief Administrative Officer, and the Sports Committee and, entertainment committee who all realize the importance of healthy recreational activities to keep the members of the RCAF in top physical condition.
