The group of actors and actresses made up entirely of local talent, performed before Lhe footligii‘... like veterans, and carried out their characterizations to such per fectlon that they literally took the audience into the play with them on a round of hilarious situation.- whlch nearly brought the roof down on the house. Everyone went through their ports in such a realistic mariner, that it would be next to impossibre to single out any individual per- former. All through the play the players showed the result of the hard study and attention tiiat thev must have put. in regarding stage manners, gestures and facial ex presslons, which did much credit to themselves and their director Ml‘. J. Austin Trainer, C.D.A., who has been instrumental in directing so many fine plays here in the ast. In addition to this splendid three-act pin_v, the evening ivas made a complete success with the presentation of some particularly entertaining CCLWGOII-lfft opeciol- ties which included vocal solos oi Betty Jane Bccrs, character songs of the Gay Nineties by J.

At the conclusion of the 5900064 not, Dr. W. J. P.

Brokers , Mr. James Tuplln. known throughout Canada and the United Slit-BS as one of the pioneer breed- ers of silver foxes, died at his home in Oleary yesterday morn- ing. He was 79 years old.. The late Mr. 'l‘ilplln was. prob- ably, the most colorful of the ear- ly fox breeders who, as a. result of their activities. brought. eager pur- chasers of live foxes to the Prov- iiice from all parts of the world. While a young mun he acquired is _ ‘wide local reputation as a sports- man and was an accomplished cyclist and long distance runner. Few oi‘ his contemporaries could equal him in his knowledge of his native fauna and flora. He grew up in the Block Banks region o! Prince County which, at that time was a heavy wilder- ness where roamed in great. nuni- bers bears, foxes, muskrats, weas- eis. and uiany others of the smal- ler fur-bearing ‘animals. It. is sold. so great was his knowledge of nat- ure. that he could tell, by the im- pression of an animal's foot print. upon the ground or snow. how much time had elapsed since the animal had made lt. As a boy he took delight iii fre- quenting the camps of the Indians who lived but a. few miles from his home and he was the only white man in the Province who could converse fluently in the Micmac language. More than one poss- cnger on an Island train who was unacqllainted with the late Mr. Tuplln has been surprised to see a tall white mail ccrne down the aisle, take a seat beside an Indian man or woman, and immediately plunge into conversation in the Indian language. The passenger, upon making enquiries, was ol- ways told the white man was “Jim" Tuplin- Lightliouso Keeper Before becoming one of the world's pioneer foxmen, the late Mr. Tuplin had been in charge of the main lighthouse in Alberton Harbour. While living there with his wife, the former Caroline Wil- liaxns of Elmsdale, the late Mr. Tuplln used his leisure time to fish lobsters. He was the first man to ever bring a Nova Scotia built fishing boat to Alberton and by so doing he revolutionized the deep- sea fishing in that section o1’ the Province. for the two boats he brought were sbler and faster than any which had hitherto sailed out. of that harbour. With the death of his father. the late Robert Tuplin, at Black Banks in I910, he resigned from the position of lighthouse keeper and with his wife and family went to the Black Banks where he took over the larger part of his father's fox ranch. His brother, Samuel, also fell heir to a substantial part of the business. ' ‘rhe late Mr. ‘Poplin soon mode his experience of wild life tell in the-conduct of the new business- He had outstanding success as a breeder and was soon selling live foxes at prices ranging from S10,- 000 to $20,000 a. pair. In I920 he sold the larger part of his ranch to the late Messrs. W. K. Rogers and J. Stan- ley wedlock at a price said to ap- proximate $200,000. and, though keeping a few pairs. of foxes for, his own ranching purposes, there- after ‘gradually retired from his previous strenuous activities. During the last few years, Mr. Tuplln had not been in good health and had received hospital treatm merit In Boston. Montreal. and Charlottetown. His wife prede- ceased hlm about a year ago. Surviving him are two sons, Reuben, in Halifax. and George in Conway: also two daughters, Mrs. Charles Keizer of O'Leo.r_v, now a. patient in the Prince Ed- ward Island Hospital; and Olive, at home.
