The other day 1n looking over some" of our book collection we came upon the record books of the Silver Black Fox Breeders‘ As- sociation of Prince Edward, Vols. 1 and 2. This Association was in- corporated April, 1916. by act of the Provincial Legislature. The first‘. officers were -- President, E. R. Brow, Charlottetown; Vice Presi- dent, B. I. Rayner. Summerside; Vice President. It. E. Spillett, Char- lottetown; Vice President, W. L. Poole, Montague. Directors, J. W. Cailbeck, B. Graham Rogers. Sum- mersidc, F. L. Rogers. Alberton, Dr. J. A. Johnston. Tignish, W. Chester s McLure. W. K. Rogers, J. A. Webster. Charlottetown. Dr. J. D. 'McIntyre, Montague, J. A. MacDonald. Cardigan, R. W. Stewart. Brudeneil. W H. Prowee, Murray Harbor. The Executive committee was. E. R. Brow, J. W. Callback, F. L. Rogers, W. C. S. McLure. J. A. MacDonald, Dr. J. D. McIntyre, W. K. Rogers. The Fill‘ Sales Board had as chairman W. Chester S. McLure, and as- sociated with him were J. W. Call- beck and W. L. Poole. W. Chester S. MCIJIIIB wa_s Registrar. O I

The late B F’. Stewart of Brudeneli, who hadbeen employ- ed for many years in Boston, was appointed Inspector of the Associ- ation and he visited the ranches and showed the ranchers how ‘to keep their recordsand it. was from these records that the Herd Books were compiled. No. i‘ fox in vol. 1 is Dalton Angel. wheiped 1908. color black; sire anddarn. silver black foxes bred by Hon. Charles Dalton. Tlgnish, from native bred silver black foxes. Owners. the Charles Dalton S. B. Fox Co.. Charlottetown. Then follows the remaining Dalton foxes owned by the company. Next on the 11st of companies registering foxes is the Eidorado Silver Black Fox Company. Charlottetown. with foxes bought from the Dalton Company that were wheiped in i915, also from the Charlottetown Silver Black F Company from Dalton foxes. xt follows the F. I". Tuplin foxes with Billy Sunday leading off. Billy was a. silver black fox bred from F. F. Tuplln native bred silver black foxes, as was ai- so his, dam.

e e

Some interesting names appear in the list oi Tupiin foxes such as Sir John Franklyn, sire. Benjamin Franklyn. dam.‘ lady Franklyn. Prince Imperial, Carrie Nation, Eugene. whose sire was Emperor. dam. Empress. The next ranch registered was the Silver. Ra ‘-‘_, Company of Alberton, whose president Rogers. Number one 1n that ranch was the celebrated fox Six Wilfred. probably one of the most magnifi- cent foxes ever bred in this pro- vince. I-Ie was of pure W. R. Oulton, breeding. The Pillman B. B. Fox Company of Summerside, register- ed _John I-Islg. Prince George, Princess Gladys.’ mostly. bred by the Prince Edward Silver Black Fox company. Summerside. and whelped in i919 I O O

Following that rsneh are more pesos devoted to the Silver Pox Ranching Convpany of Alberton, with stock bought. in 1912 from James Rayner, Greenmount, B. E. I.. R. H. Gordon, Alberton, R. 'I'. Oulton, Little Bhemogue. N. 8., and others bred by the Silver Fox Rsnohlng Company themselves. They must have had a considerable ranch as several pages are occupied by their foxes. B. I. Rayner, Al-' berton. is next on the list starting off with Rayner Jack 8rd. whelp- ed in 1908 and bred on both the sire's and dsm's side from B. I. Rayner native bred sliver black force. Other breeders we notice supplying foaee to theee companies were Cordon and ‘ruplin, Alberton, and Preeisnd, P. E. I.. J. H. num- gpAiberton, J. l. CR. Gordon.

Rayner ranch was Rayner Dick B. bred by the Hon. Charles Dalton, Tlgnish, and whelped in 1900 as was also Rayner Fan of the same breeding.‘

Rayner Victoria was bred by the Victoria Black Fox Company, Westgore. N. S. And now we come to some foxes progeny we have memory of ourselves. 'I'hey were Ellis, Negie, Cap. J. C.. Cap 2nd, Sheffield, Leila. bred by Hon Charles Dalton rand James Rayner, Tignlsh, and passed to the United States and Isiruid B. B. Fox Com- pany, Boston. Mass. Capt, J. C. Ellis was the promoter and gener- al manager. For the same ranch we notice Sheffield ‘and Florence, bred by them and registered in the name oi Charles A. Sheffield. Florence, Mass. These formed the nucleus _cf the famous Sheffield ranch which years afterwardsbe- came one of the most proml ent registered ranches in the United States. furnishing many champions at American shows.

O O O

And now here is something that

will interest John B. Roper, Char-

lottetown, who can be said to have

made reel history for in 1915~he acquired Lelia. Devona and Reid

from the United States S. 8s B

Fox Company, Boston. Mass. whose ranch was in this province. Tho sires and dalnspf these were of course foxes previously mentioned as belonging -to that company. It. was to the Borestone Company in Maine that the progeny of these foxes was passed and if we re- member correctly, Reid was sold to Borestone. Anyhow, with that foundation Borestone became the‘ greatest fox ranch in Maine, rin fact its ferne spread all over the United States and in the 1920's they were among the tops in the U. 8 A. Leila. and Devonels progeny" had a characteristic blue black color without any shade of brown- ish cast and that quality persisted in the John B. Roper ranch.

O

Next on our list of owners is John T. Profltt and E. R. Brow, producers of Arthur and Kate P., Charles P.. Lady May, from the Hon. Charles Dalton ranch in 1912, and Miller and BrowflCharlotte- town, the same year purchased the celebrated fox Sir Charles from the Rosemont Live Stock Company, Montrose. P E. I. He was what we would call an extra dark fox. vrhelped in 1911. from pure native bred Dalton silver foxes. We can well remember with what awe we gazed on photographs of Sir Charles taken in the W. A. Miller ranch near Charlottetown. l-Ie was certainly an aristocrat among foxes - o. truly beautiful specimen’ — and like Sir Wilfred. was consider- ed about the best type of a male extant.

Profitt and Brow and the Miller and Brow ranches were among the foremost breeders in the years 1915 to 1922 For the first time on page 80 we notice Chester Mc- Lure, Charlottetown, as the owfier of Sir Charles 10th. s son of Sir Charles and Lady Charles, wheip- ed in 1015, and we note on the same page W. A. Miller as regist- ering quite s number oi foxes on his ‘own account. notable among these are Lady Oulton of Dalton- Oulton strain, Whelped ‘in 190B. and Frank M., bred by Fr 1-‘. Tup- lln in 1911 This cross gave rsrme magnificent foxes descendants of which we purchased in 1920. and they and the Sir Charles strain made up the bulk of the Miller rarrm which in the 1920's was one of the most beautifully situated. best cared for and had a. very superior strain of foxes.

The next ranch was introduce ls the Willow Hill Clive: Black Fox

e e

which was mostly by the employees Summer- side. They were most fortunate in their breeding selections that osmo , from the B I. do S. Rayner ranch, Aiberton, Bir Arthur .and Lady Evelyn. A litter of slit pups put them on the road to prosperity and in o. short time the Willow Hill was pointed out as one of the greet dividend payers. Original investors got fabulous returns and it continued to be a money maker until the slump struck silver foxes in the late 1920's. Our first lntro-‘ ductiorr in the Willow l-Iill was given no by the late pd Manson and on our visit there_ we also saw E. I-I. Monkley, These men played s. greet pert in its success and for a long time George Cili- beck wee its ranch manager. . . Next week we will continue our story of the Record Books "
