Swinging into its first full dlsV.

Prince Edward Island's big provin- cial fair got sway to a. flood start yesterday. Although cxsot figures were not available, exhibition of- ficials expressed the opinion that the total admitted to the afternoon and evening features ’ ’ thnt of last year, The fresh, cool bxeess which swept across from tho i-Iillsboro River made the Exhibi- iton Grounds and the Grnnd Stand appear decidedly comfortable after the heat of the city. Every department of the fair wss functioning simul‘ neously. Judges applied themselves to their exlctins duties, frequently before crowds of interested "onlookeis. The Grand Stand was well filled for the room; programme. and packed for the evening pouui a TM Midway was going full swinl.

NIGHT SHOW

The night show at the Provin- cial Exhibition last evening. was attended by almost three thousand pgoplcr-Ildlfly five hundred more than Tuesday evening lost year. The show was ful‘y up to the ad- vertising, and’ in fact very much better. v

The Horse Show, was closely fol- lowed by the large audience who appeared greatly interested in the beautiful animals. and the well turned out riders.

interspersed with the judging of horses, were the vaudeville acts, consisting of D'I.orns, the high pole artist, Senorita. Carmenits and the Four Fsntlnos, Georgettyh Holly- wood Comiqucs, Charlie Chamber- lain, the singing lumbcrjack. and the super-sensation, the Robert Clmse Company. A‘l the acts were good, and Charlie Chamberlain's singing wLs the best ever heard here at an exhibition. l-ie is oer- tsinly going to make a name for himself this his first season out. The Robert Cimse sensation was a real thriller, almost impossible to describe. but one that you will no doubt hear all about from your neighbours. It ls the best not ever brought to this province. or prob- ably thc Maritime Provinces.

The Musical Ride of sixteen members of the Light Horse in full dress uniform. we: performed very splendidly. and their efforts wou‘d ramps-re well with that of perm- anent troops.

The Fire Works were more varied than last your, snd certainly more beautiful. The programme th's eve- ning will be specded up. so that everything will be concluded short- ly before 10.30. Tilers is no doubt of a tremendous crowd this eve- ning. but there is plenty of accom- modation. The best seats on the grounds m: probably the asst blen- cher, where a wonderful view of the Horse Arena. with its 23.000 candle power lighting, the Firs Works, thfl Vaudevfle, in fact. everything can be obtained.

The Holman sound systom is much improvcdoverlsst your, snd carries the music true to not‘. ‘rhls feature is very ciefitnve to that f rm

Fruit and etsbles

I There is a very good exhibit of

The fruit industry has not recov- ered from the severe winter of two years ego, snd it will be three or four years before exhibits from the new trees will be available, it is slid. Rrmers are now planting the latest varieties of fruit trees. Competition in fruit classes was very keen, as growers have become expert in selecting prize fruit-

Extraordinary Session Of British Cabinet Called For Thurs- day. .

113N130". Aug. 20 Crowds Kfltllllrod in Downing Street today to get Glimpses of the cabinet min- isters returulng hurriedly from holidays to consider the latest turn in the Item-Ethiopian crisis.

Even before Prime Minister Bald- win arrived leadels appeared to have abandoned hope of a friendly settlement with Italy.

Advance messages from the Prime Minister, who is being sc- oompanied from France by Sir Robert Vsnsittart, permanent un- der seclctery for the Foreign Of- fice, were to the effect that Great Britain considers Itslys action as a challenge to the League of Nu- tions.

Realistic Crisis

One spokesman for the govern- ment explsined briefly: "Italy L; at war against the League coven- ant. The government is therefore confronted with a ree‘istlc situa- tion and will seek a realistic sclu- lion."

Although certain quarters still speak hopefully of s. settlement through arbitration. it is consid- ered a tactical move to drier-t at- tention from the seriousness of the crisis and to rivet attention on the loague of Nations and the moment- out session of the Council Sept. 4.

The cabinet meeting on Thursday will have two urgent questions be- fore it; namely, immediate meas- ures to take in view of s deter- mined attitude by Itsly, and mess- ures to be proposed st' the League Council meeting,

Captain Olsen reported his ves- sel remained afloat only about two minutes after s. compressed air tank used for starting the Diesel engine exploded and virtually blew BWB-y the stem of the Juneal. He was awakened by the blast and rushed to the pilot house intending to sound a. distfeg ssigng] on the omits whistle. Lack of pressure prevented this snd he hastily cut away the lsshings of dories carried on deck.

‘Swim To Dorics

To this act the four survivors probably owe their lives, for after clinging to bits of wreckage they saw two of the dories flouting and swam to them. One of the clories was a wreck but they succeeded in {lzljlttlng the other snd climbed in- o .

Ole Olsen, entangled in the rig. sins. was carried down with the sinking vessel but hacked himself free with his knife and fought his way to the surface. He cut himself severely about the face as he slashed out with the heavy knife.
