The Hiection in Ward 2 Water Question.

in another column, but the other candidates have not yet appeared. We are informed that Mr. Murphy’s view of the question is that the water works, if introduced, should be introduced by a Company, who, on the condition of obtain- ing from the Council a right to lay pipes, etc., t! roughont ihe city, shall be permit- ted t their water to citizens willing to take it at fixed rates. In short, Mr. M urphy’s view is that the Water Com- pany should be established on precisely the same principles as the Gas Company ; and

we nnierstand that he is now in corres- pondeice with firms abroad, who are pre- pared to undertake the work with its atien- dant responsibility and risk. We are in the dark with regard to Mr. we presume
Barrett’, views about the matter ; but that no candidate will oppose the intro- duction of water on anyterms. The man who would do so would put himself before the city in iarge letters as a man fifty years behind the age. There are of course, some persons who will not wake up to the neces- sity of water-works until they are burat out or their families are killed out by a pesti- lence; but their number is daily becoming
beautifuly less.
fumuNnse INcREAsSE.—The customs re- ceipts «t Montreal for the month just closed were $15,061,62 as against $590,789,61 the corresponding period last year—on Increase of $221,272.01. The Inland Revenue ceipts for September were $121,352,76 as against $59,922,62 in the corresponding period |ast year—an increase of $71,430,14. The increase in Inland Revenue receipts, it will be thus seen, was considerably over one hundred per cent.

Proressok SHELDON and the English farm- er-delegate—Mr. Sparrow—-who accompanies him, |iave been prevailed upon to remain on the Island until Wednesday morning. This forenoon they went to see the country in the direction of Pownal, with several members of the Government and other prominent gentle- men as cicerones; and it has been arranged that they shall drive in the Royalty this after- noon, ‘To morrow they will see the Island stock on exhibition, and to-morrow evening they will be entertained at the ‘‘ farmers’ dinner,” to be held at the Revere House.
From Sr. Joun, N.B.— The Governor, suite, and over fifty citizens arrived from St, John on Saturday night, among whom were Hon. D. Ferguson, Hon. Neil Mcleod, C. C. Gardiner, Henry Longworth, F. L, Has- zard, William Bagnall, J. R. Brecken, G.D, Lonworth, W. ©. Bourke, Patrick Blake, John Fraser, Esqs., Dr. Creamer, Messrs. R. F. Quirk, F. H. Beer, J. J. Davies, and Mr. Masterman.
The Political Correspondence says Eng- land has now received a declaration of the powers that they are prepared to assent to the proposal fof England to seize some place in Archipelago. The commanders of the ‘leet have been instructed to prepare to depart in forty eight hours for fresh des- tina tions.
A St. John paper of the 8th says that Messrs. W. Rarks & Son’s cotton factory is *‘ shut down” in order to give the em- ployees an opportunity of attending the exhibition, tickets to which were given by the firm to each of the hands employed in the factory. Messrs. Fleming & Sons also distributed exhibition tickets among the workmen in their foundry, re

MACHINERY HALL, The appearance of Machinery Hall was hilly creditable to all conce rned. . Over forty different manufacturers were repre- sented, many of whom kept the machinery in motion and showed the different pro- cesses of manufacturing goods of various descriptions throghout the exhibition.
MANITOBA,
The Manitoba exhibit was one of the most interesting we had the pleasure of examin- ing. The building in which it was shown was excessively thronged from begiuning to end. It wasincharge of Mr. Begg who takes great pleasure in givipg information regarding the Province which he so ably represents. The exhibit was most com- plete and consisted of one ‘hundred and sixty-four specimens of flowers, fifty var- ieties of prairie grasses, various samples of wheat, barley, oats, rye, timothy, Jpotatees, roots and vegetables, sunples of soil from twelve different sections of the Province, of wood and stone of brick and pottery, manufactured in the Province, of culti- vated grapes and numerous other products. The most attractive feature cf this exhibit was the Indian department. Prominent among the things on exhibition here was the ervat tent of the plains, which is made of buffalo skins, the wigwam, the settlers’ tent, the warrior North West Indian in full dress, tomahawks, war clubs, bead work, porcupine work and and a hun- In this department also, three scenes—the indian lodge, the plain hunter’s camp, and the pioneer set- tler’s camp—were shown. We should hava liked to compare the cereals, roots and vegetables of Manitoba with those of our Province, but were unable to do so with justice to both, owing tu the fact that the Manitoba products were taken from the soil during the first week in August. INJUSTICE OF THE PRESS.
While the leading men of New Bruns- wick and the managers of the Exhibition have shown the Island exhibitors every courtes®, it is observed that the press, with once exception—-the Sun—is not so just in its comments as that of Montreal. The claim put forth by some of them—-that their exhibit of grain is equal in quality to the samples sent from the Island, excites the risibilities of our farmers here. It is no doubt quite ffattering to New Bruns- wick exhibitors of barley, for instance, to receive the landations of the press of the! city. But when it is known that the best barley of New Brunswick growth shown here is only fit for feeding purposes, one cannot help feeling sorry that the report ers were not a little more discriminating. Mr. Bullman’s barley has not, as far as we are aware, received even a mention from the papers here, although it is admitted by all competent judges to be a magnificent sample. We are led to make the above re- marks from reading the following item in the St: John Globe of to-day Po
The P. &. Island exhibit of unelassified wheat, white and black oats, and white and gray peas looks well, but not any better than our own raising. The P. E. Island exhibit contains oatmeal which the Province does not produce.
What the writer means by unclassified wheat we cannot understand. But we should like to inform him that the Island Exhibit in wheat, consists of pure fife, blue- shank, redbald and Russian varieties, and that they are decidedly better than wheat shown here by New Brunswick and Mani- toba. The charge that the exhibit contains oatmeal, which the Province does not pro- duce, can only be attributed to ignorance or jealousy.

ITEMS.
On further enquiry, we find that the head of Sherefords cattle on Exhibition, are owned by Mr. Todd of Milltown, who is a large stock-breeder, beth in New Bruns- wick, and in the State of Maine. The Ayr- shire bull ‘* Sir John” purchased by Mr. Gardiner, at Montreal, was awarded a dip- loma as the best bull on the gronnds ‘“ Sir John” is a perfect model and, for beauty, size and docility, he caunot be surpassed by Ayrshire’s anywhere. He has a first-class pedigree, and will be a valuable addition to Island stock.
Governor Haviland has purchased the cele- brated cow ‘‘ Luna Bell.” She is acknow- ledged to be the best thorough bred Jer. sey in New Bruuswick ; has a pedigree, in the words of the auctioneer, “a yard long,” and calf several weeks old, by the celebrated bull *‘ Centennial.” The Goy- ernor also purchased another Jersey cow which is said to be the equal in every re- spect of ** Luna Bell.” Henry Longworth Esq., also purchased two thoroughbred Jersey cows, with excellent pedigrees. The four will be a great addition to our Island stock.
THE RACES,
The races at Moosepath on Thursday and Friday were among the great attractions. Pally two thousand peopie were in attend- ance, and the interest manifested in them throughout was intense. In ithe three minute class race which was the first on the programme, five horses entered, viz: A. N.
Large’s Messenger Boy, James Dover's
er &. ccenenioneetanaet a
jee’s All Right, Dr.
Lady Bagnall, Newton 1 ' ; Baker’s Harry Baker, 4 Woodstock mare named Richmond Girl, and Wormwood. This race, which appeared from the begin- ning to be between Messenger Boy, Lady Bagnall and Wormwood, was at the end ty Messenver Boy and Messenger Boy, who had first heats with all ease, on the third heat by
hotly contested Richmond Girl. takeng the two collared
was ; t Richmond Girl, and passed at the quarter pole. The heat from this was
most exciting, Messenger on being collared seemed to lose control of himself. He acted excitedly but still kept at the wheel of his lared her at the half ;mile pole, Passing the grand stand a cheer from the spectators caused hiia to break, Rich- mond Girl then darted to the front and led to the finish, making the heat in 2.48. — At the heat the shaces of nignt
opponent and er
the finish of were falling, and the Judges adjourned the race until the following morning. The con- test between Messenger Boy and Richmond Girl next day was a lively one, The heats were tightly contested and for a time seemed anybody’s, but the mare who is able to trot in 2,24,pluckly outsped Mes- senger Boy and was awarded both heat and race, Messenger getting second. Lady Bagnell, who had trotted the first heat splendidiy was ruled out by the Jadges tor what they were pleased to consider jockey- ing. In the 2.45 class on the second day, Messenger Boy, Bayard Bright, ot W ood-
Baker and Ewpress, of Halifax started. The race was well contested throughout, Bayard Bright won in’three straight heats, with Ewpress second, and Messenger Boy third. In the third heat Messenger Boy and Bayard Bright went off together. The sulkey’s touched, and several spokes left Bayard’s wheel. Messenger went to the front and had a good lead at the half mile, Bayard trotted splendidly from the three- quarter, and gave Messenger a lively chase down the home stretch, ending a neck behind him. The heat was unfairly given to Bayard Bright, for what reason the judges would not explain. But hadit been giyen to Messenger Boy there is little doubt he would have taken the remaining heats of he race, as he was trotting faster while the others were falling back. ‘The other races were good, but the Island horses did not take part in them.
The managers of Moosepath Races did not treat Island horses with that degree of courtesy which they deserve. The Island was represented by three horses, and these horses took ‘part in two of the principal races. Notwithstanding this, no Islander was allowed on the stand, The United States was represented by a sick trotter, entered in one race, and on this account one of the judges was an American gentle- man, set up to do justice to the sick trotter.

CIVIL ELECTION,
To the Editor of the Examiner.
T being currently reported that I am en-
tirely in favor of Waterworks for the City at the present time, I wish to set myself right before the electors of Ward 2, and the City generally. I therefore state, in my opinion, before such an important measure is carried out, a public meeting of citizens should be convened to ascertain the general opinion on the matter; and since especially with regard to ‘Vard 2, I would not say one word to induce the authorities to consent to any- thing of the kind, unless the Electors of Ward 2 were of opinion that such a scheme was de sirable, and that in fact, if elected, ! wonld wish to be guided entirely by the voices of my constituents in this and other matters,
