.Once again flionsands of Prince Edward lsiande s stopped their daily tasks and “went to the Ex- hibition" at Lharlottetown. The tanner left his ripening harvest, the fisherman his nets and the business and professional men their offices and all met at the Fair grounds. There as thousands pour- ed through the main gates a, new Thursday attendance record was made. Indeed the crowds were only little behind Wednesday's all time record, when it was estimat- ed more than 18,000 attended.

Yesterday's program was as out- standing as the previous day. And the weather remained gloriously tine for n splendid afternoon's racing. A slight shower in the evening for a time threatened to interfere with the evening perfor- mance but after about hai-f an hour the rain ceased and before the show closed up for the night the stars were shining.

In the afternoon the free for all was the big attraction and thous- snth cheered lustily when the old favorite Marjory M. cnmetluough. alter placing second in the first heat to win the next two and first money.

Thc 2.19 trot- and pace and the 2.22 pace had large entry lists and Drovecl almost as thrilling as the inst-er free for all.

The vaudeville. including aerial acts. animal circus, song and dance numlbcrs and the never to be for. gotten bicycle act provided n. most enjoyable and interesting interlude in the racing program.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) 11ONDON,>Aug lii-Great Bri. lain will retrain from making any further representations to the Reich until thcrc is definite proof than: can be no negotiated settle- ment oi Czechoslovakia} Sudeten German minority demands. Havas news agency learned tonight. Vh-Colllll. Halifax. Foreign Sec- retary, was understood by Havas to have been in favor of serving an immediate reminder on Berlin of Prime Minister‘ Chamberlain's Mttrch :34 intimation that anat- tack on Czechoslovakia would mean a European war. Mr. Chamberlain, however, fav-

ored postponement of such a move

juntil it was clearly evident there

was no imssibility Lord Runciman could successfully carry out his zissigiuzlcnt to "conciliate“ the re- spective stands taken by the Prahs. Government and the Sudeten German party, representing Czech- oalnvaloas 3,500,000 Germanic min- ority. Lengthy Conference

Alter long deliberation, Havas understands the Foreign Secretary was won over to the Prime Min- ‘ist ments,_ i

Demand Government Obtain Compensation

lFrom Insurgents

LONDON. Aug. 1B—An influen- tial committee of British ship- owners demanded lodzvv that the (lovernmenl insist. on, Spanish In- 5lli't-‘,i‘lll..s paying "in full immedi- ately“ for British ships they have sunk "deliberately" off Spain.

Tile committee, representing 54 companies. sent a letter to Prime nlinistcr Chamberlain in which it said blunlly:

"liusnitss dealings in this coun- try will bc impossible if we can- not. rely on statements made by the Prime Minister in the House 0-f Commons."

Last July 26, Mr. Chamberlain told the House that Insurgent

General Franco had agreed to pay

imlneclizlte compensation if a com- mission representing his govern- ment and Great Britain found the iutucks by Instirgcnt tvnrplancs on British merchant vessels were de- liberate.

Chief Justice To MarryAt 81

ing to let; developments run their course for the time being.

The dif crent view originally held by Lord Halifax probably was at the bottom of the evidently un- founded and officially denied rum-

ors of a disagreement betwceu the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary. There was, fact. no

basic clash on policy, but merely a variance of views on methods to be followed, as is the case in any inter-ministerial discussions of this kind, it_ was understood.

As_the situation stod tonight, Britain will give Lord Rnncinian every opportunity to work a settle- ment of the minority problem. There is equally no doubt, quali- fied sources said, that represent- ations would be served on Berlin should the negotiations at Praha give positive signs of collapse to- gether with Gennan pressure of one form or another on Czecho- slovakia. '

Information reaching here from Prnha held that the Sildctcn party had not actually “rQjec-Ted" ur. Czechoslovak Government's pro- posals, but merely had formulated very serious objections to them. A basis for optimism was seen in the decision t .

to continue negotia-
