Prince Edward Is- land has always had an enviable name for the Etxhlbitions it rias conducted. The Provincial Livc Stock Exhibition functioned hero long before Confederation and the shows were held in the vicinity oi the present Drill Shed. In 1889 the Charlottetown Driving Park- snd Provincial Exhibition Associa- tion was organized by a group of forward looking citizens and Der- sons from the surrounding coun- try. Its Exhibitions have been conducted ever since tnd we ale confident that no one can success- fully dispute the fact that the present higb standard of excel- lence obtained by various Holstein, Guernsey. Jersey. Ayrshires, among cattle breeders as well as horsc. sheep. swine ancvpoultry breeders. lius bec-nuevelopcd through those Exhibitions. ' Premier J. Walter Jones was for years the leading exhibitor at the local shows and _recentiy our papers have carried items concerning the progeny u! cattle bred at his farm in Bull- bury. This is jitst one instance oi who; shows will, do. The silver Fox Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association who are conducting the Pelt Show, nus also for many ears conducted R live fox show a d that has been the means of bettering the live extent hem. Since 1929 Wlih the excepti of two years‘ cancella- tion shows have been held con- tinuously. ‘The pelt shows were first held in Charlottetown then were moved to Summerslde at the request oi‘ the breeders and they too have played their part in K699‘ ing alive a sense of cOmDBl-lllmll and education breeders as worth- while types of foxes to reproduce. Considerable of the credit lor both live and pelt shows must b8 given to the energetic and always courteous Secretary. Walter R. Shaw. and to self-sacrificing mem- bers of committees who have given their time and services freey to help along the good work. 0M9 again remember - NEXT WEEK IS PEI-g SHOW WEEK AT SUM- I E.
