Ever since 1889 announcemehts have been made annually about the Provincial Exhibi- tion and we are glad to do so again. The Charlottetown Driving Park and Provincial Exhibition Association with its over half a century ofcontinuity, a record of which it is proud, will again have available on its grounds facilities for the display of the best horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry in this beautiful Province of ours.

Our Association was promoted by far sighted patriotic men who thinking of the better- ment of the Live Stock Industry built on beautifully situated land an Exhibition Plant that has been admired by many, The object for which it was built has been achieved in a mal- ner fa;- beyond the hopes of its authors, and today the great reputation which our horses. cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry have on the markets of the world is due very considerably to the facilities afforded here, Our Governments very wisely encouraged these Exhibitions when_ other Provinces failed to do so and because of the continuity of Exhibitions and that encour- agement, Island Live Stock were almost supreme throughout the Maritimes and elsewhere, wherever they showed in competition. It will be the same when Exhibitions are resumed again in the Maritimes and elsewhere.

Great credit must be given to the Exhibitors who have notwithstanding that they are ex- tremely busy, found time to prepare their animals and spare the time to show them.

Recently a fire destroyed some of our finest buildings, but when our gates open this vear for the Show a big new combined Fox and Poultry Show Building will be ready for

p EXTRACT FROM REPORT ON THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION OF 1944

The Provincial Live Stock Show of 1944 was the best that has been held here since be» f0l‘0 the war, and some classes of dairy cattle far surpassed all records previously made.

This excellent showing of live stock was due to a suggestion advanced by Premier Jones which he later implemented by paying to classes of dairy breeds in which five or more breed- ‘ers exhibited, an increase equnl to the amount originally offered in the prize list. While this did not apply to cattle of the beef breeds the total increase in cattle entries over the Dfevlfllls Year was 60%. a total of 850 entries.

The class of stock exhibited was equal to the best shown in Canada, Mr. J. J. McCague of Alliston, Ontario, judge of Holsteins. said. “there was lots of quality on show and the top placings would provide keen competition anywhere.” Mr. Hugh J. Coulson. Editor of the l-Iolstein-Friesian Journal. Toronto- was enthusiastic about the entries. Equally compliment- ary remarks were made by the judges of the Guernseys and Jerseys. Of this latter class the judge, Elmer Ashton of Foster, Quebec, spoke very appreciatively, not only of the quality, but said he had never attended an Exhibition where the stock was so well trained and handled. The judge of the beef breeds. Mr. W. B. True-man said, “a wonderful show and don’t you think it wasn’t." He added. there was probably not a better show of beef cattle in 25 years.

Horses attracted the largest number of spectators. Donald Black, M.P., from Quebec was the judge. and noted a marked improvement in the quality. He judged llolh the light and heavy classes. The entries were ilp 30% over i943. -

Sheep entries were down, but the number of swine increased by 8% and ‘the judge» J. W. Graoha-m waswery pleased with the exhibits, particularly of the young stock. The pofi try exhibits manifested a very high quality. some of the breeding pens exceptional.

Our Association contributed in every way possible to make the Fair a success ln ad- dition to putting the Plant at the disposal of the exhibitors, we had all the buildings pn-operlv sprayed and generously supplied with bedding The total expenses Involved g, cgngidgrabi. sum of money beyond the amount contributed by the Provincial Goya-um";
