The 18th annuaLlive fox show and the first live mink show was concluded yesterday afternoon, the mink show shortly alter 4 o'clock ---just in time to allow the judge John Maloney of Montreal to catch the plane for that city. Last rays oi light were fading out when judge F. George Maclseod of Black River, N. 8., was awarding the championships in the pearl

platinum classes.

It was a strenuous day for both judges, with only a short interval of rest at noon, and old-timers who have been at exhibitions a-plenty say that more judging was put through yesterday at Charlotte- town than they had ever seen else-

Grand champion winners in

foxes included: GI". Cameron. Summerslde; LK. Lockerby. Hamilton; and J.R. Lockerby, Hamilton. In mink classes the grand champion winners in- cluded: B.B. Jones, Bunbury: L.W. Hancock. Summerside; JR. Locker-by, Hamilton; Stew- art and Roop. Charlottetown.

where. The reason for the speed-up was that the mink judge had a pressing engagement in Montreal and some of the mink exhibitors were taking a plane to Nova Scotia to be in time to show at the Law- rencetown mink show today and tomorrow. Then, too, the fox farm- ers, the most of whom have other activities, wanted to get through so as to attend to them.

- Fox Exhibit!

The standard sliver get of sire, progeny of dam and champion- ships, were the first classes placed on the table in the morning and these tops were much admired by those present. The standard white marked slivers had been cut down to one type, extra light, for this year's show and tile four sections oi beautiful animals gave judge MacLcod considerable difficulty to place. There were certainly some very fine specimens among them and one at least changed hands for a considerable sum of money.

The standard platlnums consist- ed of three classes this year, in- stead of four, the dark platinum class having been eliminated. The various, types shown. medium. light and extra, light, adults and pups, were without doubt as fine a collection of piatlnums as were cvcr iablcd at a provincial show.

That means briefly that Filrean diplomats and foreign missions in Dublin no longer will be accredit- ed through the King. This hith- erto has been the sole remaining tie to Britain and hence to the Commonwealth at. large. ,

Both the Costello Government and the official Opposition. led by Eamon de Valera, were committed to passage of the bill nd there seem practically no oubli that it will shortly be law.
