Show Proved Big Success From Beginning

Here's how the P. E. I. Silver Fox Show started: For several years prior to 1929 there had been o. movement among PEI. tax ranchers to ‘nave a. P.E.I. fox show u there was none nearer than the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto at the time. This show was avail- able to a limited number o! breed- ers only because ot the great ex-

lvlajor A. S. ltobertson of Mer- maid and J. Walter Jones of Bun- bury. together with other interest- ed parties took the nutter in hand in the spring of 1929. The izoveni- ment was waited on and it was agreed m provide a number of crates.

The Provincial Exhibition Associ- ation offered their building and grounds free cf charge. As the re- sult of harriwork of a. strong com- mittee, everything was ready for the big show which was staged the latter part oi’ October and the first week of November in i929. It was‘ a success although the facilities for judging were not very suitable and spectators caught only a fleeting glimpse of the judging table.

The next year a buiidingknown as the Patcn Pavilion, specially adapted for judging was built. It several hundred spectators, a. proper judg- ing table, and a neutral light dif- fused over it form a large skylights directed above. Plans of the build- ini}: have been copied in several countries since as a basis for their Judging rooms.

The new building and the aura oi success engendered from the previous YPZH‘ brought a record number of wales-over B00. Visi- tors came ill _;eat numbers from other provinces with many attend- llli! from ill;- United States and several from Great Britain. Russia and Japan.

CRANll CHAMP WINNERS lNE FCRlllEll YEARS

Since i929 there has been quite a change in silver fox breeding trends, but it has always taken a remarkable fox to win the grand championship, Those who have won that coveted honor are:

l929-—A. L. Rogers, Silmmerside.

l930~Robert Baker. Surnmerslde.

l932—A. L. Rogers. Summerslde.

1933—Samuel Johnston, Fortune Bridge.

IBM-W. W. Brown, Charlotte-

town.

1935—Ira D. Carr, Covehead.

1936-—Roy Woodside. Malpeque.

193'l—Sie'wart and Lewis, Sum- merside.

The exhibition has proved that it is valuable to exhibitors and ranchers aside from cash prizes and so forth. In 1929 black foxes were still highly regarded and many beautiful specimens of blacks, extra dark, dark silvers and dark mediums were shown. The more silvery types were often covered with deep veiling and the narrow bar was not frowned upon as it is today if the fox had other superior qualiiies.

As the Americans commenced to make the wide bar and bright sil- ver fashionable, the vogue com- municated itself to the auctions in London and Paris and the fox bieedei-s who had specialized in that type made their way to the top of the table. '

It ivas regarded as fortunate for this province that the P. E. I. fox exhibition had been established as otherwise this trend might not have been noted so decidedly and l Islanders might have still been de- veloping the narrow bar and veil- ed silver to their price detriment.
