Highly Esteemed Citizen Passes

In the death of Mr. John Andrew Ritchie, at his home,’ Upper Hills- boro Street, on Tuesday last, Char- lottetown has 10st an esteemed cit- izen and one who, for over half a century, had been closely associated with the commercial, social and re-

products exhibits made the Exhibi- tion what its founders intended it

should be-a great educational in- atitution for the farmers. Never be-

fore in our memory was such in- terest taken in our exhibits or so many visitors to see them. This is

most gratifying and encouraging. It must be our aim to increase this in- terest so that our agriculturisks may be made more progressive through the lessons learned here and special vigilance must be directed to agri- culture and live stock exhibits with a view of placing this Exhibition in the forefront of the Maritlmes in quantity and quality.

ligious life of the community and of the Province generally.

Removing from Alberton to Char- lottetown fifty two years ago, the late Mr. Ritchie enteerd the whole- sale business, being associated chief- ly throughout his career with Car- vell Brothers, Farquharson and Com- pany, and Auld Brothers. With the latter firm he remained for tffc long period of thirty five years, his ex periencc and ability being a widely recognized asset to the firm. He re- tired from Auld Brothers about flve years ago and opened a. retail groc- ery store on Prince Street, an oc- cupation which failing hcaltlydurihg the past two years obliged him to discontinue. Three weeks ago he spffercd a paralytic stroke affecting the left side, and gradually grew weaker until about a week ago he became unconscious, the end coming peacefully and quietly.

Mr. Ritchie was in the seventy fifth year of his age. Throughout his life he was keenly interested in ques- tions of religious and social better- ment, and was for many years an active member, both of thc choir and congregation, of Grace Church, as well ns superintendent of the Sunday School. When that church was clos- ed he associated himself with the larger Methodist (Brick) Church, now United Trinity Church, where he was actively engaged as a member of the official board and of other de- partments. Failing health during the past few years prevented him from continuing these activities, which were always very dear to him.

‘Ihelate Mr. Ritchie was born in Annapolis Valley, a son. of the late George Gilbert Ritchie, a British soldier of the 76th Regiment and of his wife Elizabeth Hlndon, of An- napolis Valley. The family early re- moved to Aibertori, this Province. Mr. Ritchie being then only two or three years of age.

There survive a sorrowlng widow, one son, Mr. G. Elmer Ritchie, and‘ one daughter, Miss Olivc Ritchie, of Charlottetown; also two brothers, Mr. George W. Ritchie, Charlottetown and Mr. Henry Ritchie, Tyne Valley; and the following grandchildren; John Andrew Ritchie, Jr, Mary Patricia RltCllle-fllld Edyth Joyce Ritchie. to all of whom The Guardian extends sincere sympathy.

The Silver Fox Exhibition

In our 1930 report we referred to the good feeling existing. between ourselves and the Silver Pox Exhib- itors Association and we ‘foreshad- owed the election of a building that could be utilized for judging foxes and also for purposes connected with thc Provincial Exhibition. Dur- ing the early autumn we entered in- to an agreement with the Sliver Fox Exhibitors Association for the use of our grounds and buildings to house their annual Fox Show. Part of that agreement provided to- erect a suitable building for foxes and

exhibits in the main building. You have probably been a, visitor to the new pavilion at the western end of

pose. It undoubtedly will be of value to us during the exhibition for open- and as a flower show building.

It is very gratifying to note the increase in entries in all Depart- incnts, with the exception of light

In preparing our hudgct for 1931 it will be necessary to discuss and consider the question of erecting new barns for live stock and new piggcries. '

and heats paced was the fastest in the track's history. An Island bred mare, "Jacqueline" paced a heat in 2:10 thereby lowering the Maritime record, for Maritime bred pacing mares. The condition- of the track probably had a. great deal to do with the fast time made. During the spring we um a. visit from Mr. Costes of Goshen, New York, the celebrated track maker, whose ad- vice proved of great value in the subsequent work on the track.

Invitation ‘to lion. Mr. Weir

The Annual Meeting of the Can- adian Fair Association, with which we are affiliated, was held at Toronto, November 25th and 26th, and was addressed by many prominent men noted in Agriculture and Exhibition management-full report of which will be sent to us and will contain some good information in regard to the conduct. and man- agement of exhibitions- Your Pros- ident was in attendance and in con- versation with the Hon. Mr. Weir Minister of Agriculture, took upon himself the liberty of inviting him to be present at the opening of our 1931 Ehthibitlon.

During the last year we iverc largely deprived of the services of one of our oldest and most capable Directors, Hon. George E. Hughes who has been of great assistance to the Exhibition during thc, many years which he has been a member of the Board. We hope he will im- prove in health and be again with us at our meetings.

,Wc extend our thanks to all who assisted in making the Exhibition the success it. was, especially to the

Premier Lea. and members of Pro- vincial Government, His Worship Mayor Prowse and City Council, Mayors and friends of Prince and Kings Counties, the Dominion Livc Stock Commission, thc Clydesdale Horse Association o.‘ Canada, ' our farniersb-merchants and others who gavr; special prizes, Mr Scarth, Man= agar of the Bank oi‘ Commerce and

The Empirc Buying committee had little to report. Mr. James Paton said. Merchants can .do more for advertising Empire goods than can any com- mittee. Campaigns for buying Brli lsli goods are carried on by British merchants.

‘The following names were nomin- ated arid approved for new members: Licut. Gov Charles Dalton, Premier W. M. Lea, W. A. Brickcrs, Auiericaln Consul, Hon. J. H. Myers, M. P., J. Stewart Jones, H. M.

The report prepared by the pres- ident, Mr. J. P. Crockett, was read by Mr. G. J. Tweedy.

A vote of thanks of llic Board, lll'J\' ed by Mr. E. T. Higgs and seconded by Mr. R. E. Mulch, was extended to Mr. Crockett. The financial report presented by tlic seeretury trcnsurci- Mr. W. L. Higgins showed :1 favorab- lc balance of $238 out cf receipts of $1046.13.

A discussion was lCil by Mr. T. E. McNutt with Messrs W. L. Higgins, J. M. hiurlcy, H. C. Brown on the subject of Empire Buying.

It was moved by Mr. H. C. Brown and seconded lay Mr. Donald Mc- Kinnon, K. C., that a resolution of commendation for work done in ilic improvement of fish curing be cx- tended to Mr. Earle.

Resolutions wcrc passed authoriz- ing the payment of a bonus to the secretary, extending. thanks to the press, extending the sympathy of the

Commerce and expressing appreciat- ion of the work done for the Board by Mr. Nelson Rattcnbury.

Clerks, for assistance during Exhibi- tion Week, to The Charlottetown Guardian, the Patriot, Sununerside Journal and Pioneer, Dr . J. A. ~ Clark and his office our Secretary, Mr J. W. Boultcr and Mr. Walter Shaw.

In concluding this report your Directors wish to state that owing to the large amount oi repairs and the new construction work, which has left us very considerably in debt it is impossible lo pay a dividend much as we would like io do so. Our shareholders, we trust, will aeczpt the situatlorrin the spirit of forc- bcarancc they have in the past and we hope that in future a, better fin- ancial position will arisc so that dividends can be paid with some de- gree of regularity.

All of which is respectively sub- lnitted.’
