We received by airmail last evening complete returns of the ranch and mutation mink auction conducted by Lampson, Fraser d: Huih, New York, last week. Ranch mink. 15.004 pelts offered 93% sold. They advanced 15% over August auction and were 25% higher than the average of De- cember, 1948, Selected and good qualities of extra dark and dark males ranged from $20. to $32. with females $12.75 to $15.

years. In Montreal they will be, featuring complete original col- lections of Canadian raw fur skins which will attract buyers not only from all over Canada but from the United States and all fur con- suming countries throughout the world. The first auction sales in Montreal is scheduled for Mon- day, 16th of January, 1950, and the last receiving date for that sale will be 27th December, 1949. This will mean that the commencement of the 1940-1950 fur season Can- adian fur breeders will have the advantage of H.B.C. marketing services in the three principal fur centres of the world —- Montreal. New York and London.

In addition to being able at any time to select the market in which the greatest demand exists for particular types of skins, the H.- B.C.'s fur sales services will in- clude current marketing inform- ation, marketing "know-how". ex- pert technicians and staffs, finest original collections and assort- ments, best warehouse and cold_ storage facilities and large at- tendance and competition at auc- tions. These will induce best prices apd H.B.C. has always beenl known for its prompt settlements. i For those who wish advances against either their pelts or live- stock the H.B.C. will grant either and also comprehensive insurance‘ terms covering livestock.

The writer and W. Chester S. McLure were connected with the Hudson's Bay Company for quite I1» number of years as purchasing agents for silver fox pelts, begin- ning in 1926. In 1927 and pract- ically until the completion of our wntract. we made annual trips in January to London. The HEW WP-YB- house had been completed and was in use in 1927! It was the fin- est in the world and its auction room was just as outstanding as) the building facilities. The most expert graders were on hand to lock after the furs and prepare them for the auctions. It was a wonderful sight to go around and sea the'wild fu collections be- longing to the mpahy. which had been gathered in their posts extending to the tip of the Arctic. In addition there were such rare furs as Russian sable that sold for upwards of $500.00 for a pelt shaped like a plate. They were very scarce then but since have been farmed and aro now beln! produced in moderate quantum! in Russia.

1i W" B Bind day for hunters in this province when a group 0g 91d time Charlottetown sportsmen brought the first shipment; of Hungarian partridge to the pm. vincc. There were i0 pfllfs in the lot-and they were given their liberty at the Old Stone Quarry on the Mount Edward Road on October 29th, i927. They have ab. wrbcd the shock of intensive hunting as no other upland game bird could possibly do.

t . .

It's quite a thrill to have thirty odd squealing Huns burst from cover and rocket into the air ih all directions-especially if pinned down by the old reliable setter or pointer. Many sportsmen take as much enjoyment in watching their favourite hunting dog work as in the actual shooting,

The season on Ruffed Grouse (Native partridge) ' and pheasants (Cock birds only) opens on Octo- ber 15th and closes on October 31st. Following the announce- ment of the seasons in the press several hunters have asked me if the seaon was closed on grouse. 1n the list of protected are Sharp- tail grouse (sometimes called Prairie chicken). A comma was ir- serted after Bharptail which would naturally lead the uninitiated to believe that Shafptails and grouse were two different species of game birds. ‘ o o t Saturday, if fine, should be a banner day_ for hunters. If the duck flights peters out one can always tramp the stubble fields and swsles in search of l-funs. They are there aplenty albeit it bakes hunting to find them some- times. Anything that comes too easy is never appreciated like what one has to work for. Here's wishing you luck in your hunting efforts whether it be ducks or Huns.

The WEEK at S. D. ll.

Last week your writer neglect- ed to make honorable mention of M-ike Hennessey, who capably m. layed the happenings of the week to you last year. Mike is to be congratulated on this success, one of his many extra-curricular ach- ievements since he came to the campus.

‘Today, all discussions. Predict. ions and cheering will be centred around the gridiron, where the first and probably the most 1m. portant intercollegiate encounter uf the season will take place. Al- though harrassed by the time el. ement, Coach MacAdam has work- ed hischamplonship-seeking team into tip-top form, so today we EXDect nothing less than victory. Most of us don't anticipate the ex- cltement witnessed last season, when Johnny Cash carried uvai across the Mount A. line in the last seconds of play. Yet all are looking forward to a thriller. Chosen to supervise the Selling of tickets at the game was Reg Dfllwelte. who urges ticket-buyers to purchase their entrance-cards in the city to avoid inconvenience. Lorne and Gene MacDonald, noted in campus circles for their fluen- cy of speech, especially in bull-ses- sions, are to be the cheer leaders, and Tom Pendergast and “Ace“ Farmer have been named to seat and control the crowd on the newly-erected grandstand. An un- official source informed us yester- day that Pendergast demanded the sole honor of attending to the ladies. Tough luck Ace!

Yesterday there was consider- able commotion on the campus, as could be expected on an election day. Battling it out for the vice- piesidency of the A. A. A. were Cyril "Bun" Callaghan and Mark MacQuaid. Unfortunately at the time of writing, the results have not been disclosed. However, yes- terday. in an interview before the polls opened, "Bun" in his own in- imitable manner, stated: "I have no predictions." Later, he called your writer aside and confessed: "Between you and me, I think I can swing it." MacQuaid could not be reached for comment.

Overshadowed as it is by the activities of the first team, intra- mural football witnessed a busy week, as both the college, and high school leagues began in earn- est to runl off the respective schedules. A new field has been granted to the college league, so that more games may be played. How suitable this field is for the playing of football has been ques- tioned by many who witnessed a number of players who. on being brought to the ground by s vic- ious tackle, have come up not with the pigskin, but a four-leaf clover! A movement is being led by Barkis Smith to have the song "1'm Looking Over A Four-Leaf

Clover" adopted as the official chant of the college intramural league.

Preparations are already under- way for the annual Field Day, whidfi will be hold on Tuesday, October 4th. Track manager John Mullally has been working stead- ily this past week in an attempt to have the racing ovsl in its best possible condition. With this track. which is of recept construc- tion. and encircles the football field, it will be possible to hold the Field Day on the campus. Last year. the track events were held on the Memorial Field in Charlottetown.

The following have been chosen for the Red and White staff of 1009-50: Editor. Michael Hennes- sey, '50; Assistant Editor, George Keefe, '51; Associate Editors: Chronicle, Daniel Driscoll.

Cardinals’ Pennant Chances All Bu_t Gone After 6-5 Loss At- Hands Of Lowly Cubs

(Canadian Press)

Sf. Louis Cardinals pennant chances ali' but evaporated into thin air Friday. Faced with the task of winning in order to tie Brooklyn for first place in the National League, the fluttering Redbirds instead absorbed a 6-5 setback at the hands of the lowly Chicago Cubs und fell a game behind the idle Dodgers.

This defeat put the hirds in a near helpless position. No matter what the Cards do in their two remaining games with the Cubs. the Dodgers ("an cilnrii the flag by beating the Pliils in Philadel- phia tomorrow and Sunday.

One Dodger defeat and two St. Louis victories would send the pennant race into a playoff. The only way the Birds can bent out the Brooks in regular season play is by winning two while the Dodgers drop two.

As has been-the case in recent days, the Cards "blew" this one too. A snuffed fly hall by Stan Muslal. which the charitable offi- cial scorer ruled a double, set the stage for Chicago's two runs iii the third inning. As it turned out. that was the ball grime.

Bob Rush, who started for the Cubs, Wns the winning pitcher. But most of thr- credit went to Walter (Monk) Dublel, who took over with nobody out in the sixth inning no.1 pitched score- less ball the rcst of the way to protect the Cubs‘ one-run margin.

Dyer used four pitchers in a desperate attempt to catch up with filo Cubs.

The defeat was charged (o start- er Max Lnnicr, snapping his five game wlnnljg streak.
