Mr. Ford had complained of not feeling well in the forenoon, but went to work as usual after din- ner. With his hel.per.a young man. Owl Flood, he was working in the basement of the house when he said he was going to the next floor to bore a hole. When Flood did not see any signs of the hole appearing in the floor he went from the basement to investigate. It was then that he found Mr. Ford lying on t.he floor

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were called and they ap- plied resuscitation treatment but realizing that Mr.Foi-d was beyond help. they called Coroner L. E. Prowse who attributed death to coronary tlii'nnibosis. Dr. Prowse decided that ati inquest would be unnecessary,

came to work in Charlottetown with the ftm of Stanley, Shaw and Peardon with whom he was employed for 33 yeiirs.

NEW" SHOW BUILDING A FEATURE 'OF PROVINCIAI. FAIR THIS YEAR

A centre of attraction at the Provincial Exhibition this year will be the oommodious new show building. Actually the plans were in the making about five years ago and after careful study and through the cooperation of the Provincial and Federal Govern- ments the directors' dreams have now been realized in the erection of this imposing structure on the centre of the Fair grounds.

Because of unforeseen difficul- ties. the seating in the new build- ing will not be installed for this year's show but a limited number of temporary bleachers will be placed around the show ring which will be 190x 120 feet. Sawdust will be spread over the floor and the Judging of livestock can be car- ried on amid pleasant surround- ings. Ample llghtlng is provided by large windows all along both sides and the two ends.

Since the building is primarily intended for an agricultural show, the display booths which can be 15x 15 feet or larger will be. in so far as posslble.. devoted to the and

farm merchandise. Mr. H. J. Ken-
