Possibly few of the people of this Island have heard of; the Zulu War. so I will to re. latte the chief incidents. m, The Zulus had been settled for two hundred years or more in what is now the country-called Natal, in South Africa. ‘They had gradually established an overlordship over most of the surrounding tribes, for "W? were a warlike people, remind- ing one, in certain ways, of the modern Germans. They were a big Sifllwflft r1108. devoting themselves martial exercises and raids, while the women cultivated ‘J10 ew the mealles-a corn", which took the place of wheat as food. A Zulu warrior was an imposing sight; he did not wear a need-dress of eagle's feathers like our aborigines, but ten wore a couple of ox-horns symmetrically projecting upwards from his frizzy hall‘. A garland of animal's teeth graced his neck, and a girdle of some long fur encircled his middle. “lid looked like a grass skirt. His bust, muscular and powerful. was without covering. A strip of fur was bound round each 198. 111st below the knee, and his feet were barc. For defence he carried a long narrow shield, point- ed at both ends and covered with tcu h hide. His arms were a sheaf °I Wlflbflpears and a stabbng 4PM! or l-Bseial, and most warriors carried n. Knobkerri or ball-headed club. which could be used as a missile. Certain elite regiments-the Zulus were well organized-were entitled to wear a leopard skin slung over their backs; and a few had guns, generally of acme absolete kind. In war-dress they made an impressive display. In character these people were arro- gant, blood-thirsty, treacherous and cruel, and. as I have said. strongly resembled (lie Germans in their treatment of other peoples. Naturally alien the British be- gan to settle in Natal, the doughty warriors didn't like the prospect of having the white men take up the land which they regarded aa pe- culiarly their own, nor did they ell- 10)’ hlvin! the white manic magis- traie inicrferin when one Zulu wiped Gilt B110 I‘, of mugging‘ one of a. subject’ race.

The British arm “Dy faulty strategy had been d vided into two main bodies; and while one of them made camp at a place ciled Islandlwana (or Islandulal. they were attacked by the whole Zulu army. The Zulus came on in a crescent formation, and lapped round the doomed army which fought on till the last man perish- ed. When another British force got to the scene the found the regimental colors sa e, lying under the bodies of the two standard- bearers: the Zulus had not taken them probably from superstitious fears of ghostly vengeance.

At this time Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie had found refuge in England and their only son. Prince Louis Napoleon joined the British force in Natal as a “free- lance" observer. He appears to have been a. headstrong young fellow. since he, in spits of warn- ings. would persist in leading a oarty of soldiers from the camp on hunting excursions.

Exports to the United States were again a little lighter and shippers are being ad- vised to hold back inferior qanlly stock to alleviate the situation. 1t is noteworthy that the better qual- ity offerings were the best sellers during the past week. Calves, hogs and lambs coihinued. for the mcst part, at last week's levels of prices. Eastern Cattle Markets The heaviest run of cattle for the ear to date at Toronto met a dul rade and some 2,000 head were left unsold. Best butcher maierial and. fed calves held steady in price but other killers were 25c to 50c lower, although there was a tendency to- ward a little more firmness at the close. weighty steers sold at $7.50 to $8.95, as a rulc. with a top lead at $9. Good butcher material brought 88-50 to $8.75. The under- tone was slightly firmer on stecr= at Montreal with good ones at $8.75 to $0.50 "ut cows were steady r0 easier. with good butchers $6.50 tl $7 and a top of $7.25.

Fed killlr; steers sold above $9 and princinrl interest centred steers at $7.50 down. With advere reports from the east. stocker and feeder demand tapered off. Good kinds of stockers sold at $8 to $1.50 and fleshy feeders at $7- to $750. Calgary had a heavier run and finished at lower prices. Medium i.o good butcher steers made $7 to $8 Similar conditions prevailrd else- where. The top price at Edmonton was $0 Prince Albert $7.50, Morse Jaw 87-60, Saskatoon $8.

TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH Kilver Fox Farming ail The i2lh Provincial Live Fox Show has passed into history. It ended with the official presenta- tion of prizes in the Paton Pavilion yesterday afternoon at one o'clock. Notwithstanding the large entry list comprising some 60 classes. with groups, herds, etc., the whole 108mm 01 Jlldfling was completed n three and a hall days. For this great credit must be given George A, Callbeck. Vlllo was the sole judge of the foxes. and Walter R. Shaw and staff, as well as other; who assisted in keeping the show run- ning ln high gpeed from ‘Tuesday morning until Friday noon. It is doubiul if any show except the first one or two, evoked more interest, and that interest was due in a large measure to the introduc- tion of new types of marked silvers and platinums. Whether this will eventually mean less attention paid to the breeding of silvers we can- not say, but it would be a great pity if it does. There ls room for all llzese different phases, particu- larlv since it has been demonstrat- ed that our pale and extra pale sil- ver females. crossed with the new types. produce a very beautiful pelt. The platlnums, too. will find their niche-they are a few in number now but will likely be quite well represented next season. Our congratulations lire extend- ed to the winners of the various sections and to all prize winners. . .. to Raoul Reymond, Southport. for having won the Grand Champion- ship foi- Slivers....to Stewart and lewis, Summerside, for carrying off ‘he honors in the platinum classes. _ Other winners have all been chron- icled in the pages of this paper and are familiar to its readers. The career of Mr. Raymond is an inspiration to everyone connected with fox farming. Coming to this rovince a complete stranger some ifteen years ago. but possessing those characteristics of brains, pa- tience and perseverance inherited from his Huguenot aiice<iors in Switzerland, he and Mrs. Raymond have gone through the various for- tunes attached to Silver Fox farm- ing, mostly in a depression period. Not discouraged by the low prices which all of us had to accept and the untoward conditions. they had courage to go out and blaze new trails through the introduction of the McNeill and LaForest white- faoes and platinums. All honor to them and to anyone else who, un- der like circumstances, reaches the pinnacle. We must also pay a tribute to Gordon McMillan. Cornwall. one of re most unobtrusive of our frater- worthy secretary. Nothing every flurrles him or upsets clockwork. l While we are handing out the' were gratified by the very generollsl praise given our grounds and bu11d- bouquets may we say that we, too, illgs by Mayor B. Roy l-Ielman at ,3 the banquet, and what they meant I to the City of Charlottetown. Mr. Bailey of Fredericton, President of .5‘: Maritime Fairs, said he had no idea that we had such a splendid build- ing as the Main Building and Paton Pavilion, and he spoke very highly of the whole setup. As a matter of fact. one would go far indeed to find anything to equal it. Among the most welcome visitors to the Exhibition from New Brun- swick was George Maclreod. Fox Fieldrrlan of the New Brunswick Association.

Teakles of Sussex, N.B., and Mr. Bailey o? Frederic- ton, botll remained all tirough the show and were very interested 1n every class. E. l-i.

E_vcr_\ where he went he got a hearty ilalidshake and "glad- co-see-you" E. H. was one of our iivliest foxmen some twenty years ago and continued in that role un- I all he left for a wider sphere of action in Montreal in the early. thirties. He was the first man to hold a fur fashion display in Mon- treal at the Windsor Hotel and we doubt if to this date ailything on the same scale or as attractive has been seen in the great fur metrop- oils of Canada. Mr. Rayner is a man possessing a great deal of tal- ent and executive ability. which 1f lile depression had not sct in would have landed lilm as one of the big figures in the fur industry. A spell of ill health which intervened a lew years ago caused a brief re- tiremerit, but ‘rte naturally strong constltutloil which he possesses 03111910 his aid and he is now back. fit and vigorous as ever, and who knows—pcrhaps he may decide to stay here and take a whirl at the fur business. We hope so. Mayor B. Roy Holman. as an- nounced on this page last week, has opened a fur emporium in the Hooper Building, 53 Queen Street, where he occupies the second and third floors.

They also took first place in the class for ulilte- face platinum female pups, getting both the Championship and Rie- serve in this class."
