No .ne .ho knows auvtlnug about the nutiali..,. ami c-arly .leveloptuent of th. 

 \ utreal Jockev ciul, can forget the work of that h.g. genud Inshman, 1. 

 M. Feeney. for it was he an.l he alone who realize.! the poss.l.iht.es of a success- 

 ful race meeting in the ISIetropolitan ("ity. 

 The difficulties' he had to contend with 

 in securing suitable land, obtaining op- 

 tions, and getting the right people inter- 

 ested, would have discouraged a less san- 

 guine mind, but P. M.. with the same 

 determination that has pulled him through 

 many difficulties. In-ouglit the negotiations 

 to such a head that laid the foundations 

 of the present success of the Montreal 



Jockey Club. 



Mr. Feeney is an ui)-to-date. alert 

 business man. who has had a large ex- 

 perience in han.lling large concerns and 

 making them pay. He started l)usiness as

 years ago. and in time absorl)ed factories 

 in St. John, N.B.; Quel^ec, Ottawa and 

 Montreal, holding the controlling interest 

 in the aniidgamated fac-tories. which were 

 known as "The Canada Saw Co." Mr. 

 Feeney afterwards sold his interest in the 

 company, and invested his capital in other 

 concerns, all of which have been suc- 



'"''^t a sportsman Mr. Feeney is one of the best, always ready to encourage strug- 

 gling young jockeys an.l horsemen, and so long as Canada ca,r produce h.s like, so 

 long will sport prosper.
