TELECRAPHIG NEWS. |
P., besides being credited with the local depression brought about by the Bank failure, was held accountable for every other drawback the Island had to con- tend with—cold winter, late spring and short crops included. According to the! Free Trade partisans our farmers were being beggared, and our merchants and artisans driven from the country. The same statements, with some slight varia- tious, were made by our Grit representa- tives in Parliament last winter. Never were there such poverty and hard times, said they, within the recollection of the} oldest inhabitant. No doubt the tempt- ation to repeat these untruthful assertions was very great, for all true Grits delight in running down their own country and praising a foreign one. Not one kind hopeful word have they to say for Canada. And if through some uvexpected cala- mity, Canada’s present bright prospects were to become dimmed for a time, ail, only Grits, would rejoice, for in ominous sigus they would see something that could be turned, though uafairly, to poli- tical account.
It is almost needless to say that in spite of Grit prophecies and misrepre- sentations our Province was never more prosperons thin at the present moment. Our farmers are rejoicing ia the near approach of an abundant harvest. Our mechanics are profiiably employed, while our laboring classes geverally—uall those, at least, who are willing to give an honest day's work for an honest day’s wage—fiud ready employment. Our fishermen too, stimulated, no doubt, to reaewed effort, by the Bounty wisely given by the present Government, are more successful this year than ever, in bringing in a rich harvest from the sea. But all this is due, we will be told, to a kind Providence. Admitted. It must, however, 0e borne in mind that good crops aod an abundant catch of fish, are in themselves of comparatively little value—unless they command good prices. And surely no one will have the hardi- hood todeny that the wise fiscal and railway policies of the present Domiuion Government have largely contributed to the present great demand for all kinds of predace both from the farm ard the sea.
As for the exodus even the local organ has had nothing to say on that subject since it issued its whining lamentation over the departure of a few disaffected Grits who left the eastern end of the Island last spring. The fact is so many are returning of late from the United States that the bottom has fallen out of the exodus grievance, tothe great dis- gust of Grit politicians.
We believe, however, that notwith- stauding the prosperous state of our Islaud at present, the same old plaintive
officials. It is reported that many of the wealthy men of the city owe their money to their trade in opium.

THE ACTIVE MILITIA MATCH — FIRING IN
HEAVY RAIN—A DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
A heavy rain and a high wind, yesterday morning, were enough to put a damper on the mest enthusiastic volunteer. There was, in consequence, a smaller attendance than on Monday, nearly all of No. 2 Batt. Artillery dropping out of the contest. After waiting for some time in the hope that the weather would clear, the Range officer ordered the signal ‘ commence firing’ to be sounded, and before long the men settled down to their work. And hard work it was, for dense showers of rain at times made it almost impossible to see the targets. The ranges prescribed by the regulations for this match were at 500 and 6CO yards, seven shots to be fired at each range, the highest possible total being 70. In the forenoon, despite the inclement weather, some good shooting was done, notably that of Lieut. Horne, who scored 30 out of 35. After midday the sun shone out, but the high wind still continued. Firing was now much brisker, and everyone in good spirits. Lieut. Harper, by careful shooting, succeeded in beating Lieut. Horne’s thirty, by one point. At 600 yds. the scoring was not so high as at the shorter range. Lieut. Horne secured twenty-five points, making fifty-five in all, averaging (with one point more) a centre for each shot. Darkness coming on before the match was finished, it was completed this morning, being by far the most inter- esting as yet contested.

desired ; there was a slight breeze, but not enough to interfere with the shooting. The score of Lieut, Horne was tied by Lieut. Crockett, No. 4 Co., 82 Batt. As the latter made most points at the long range, 600 yards, he secured first place. The shooting to-day, all throng, was. very good. At the time of going to press the Banker’s Match was well under progress, but will probably not be completed to-day.
The difficulty which rose at the All- comers’ Match, as to who should receive the medal, has, we learn, been settled to the

Games and Sports—Then and Now.
Tue very mention of the Grecian Games excites pleasaut imaginations. How important an event the celebration of these games was, may be judged from the fact that the Greeks reckoved their chronology by Olympiads, in honor of the Olympic games which took place at intervals of four years. It was one of the pooudest honors a young man could win to come off victorious here. The eyes of all Greece, living and dead, seemed to watch the contestants. The occasion was a national one. The wisest and best of every city and proviace were always in atten- dance. It was a great reunion of the acattered sons of the same family. Per- haps one is apt to idealize these old cele- brations. One is apt to think of them as honerable in every particular, as dis-
satisfaction of those concerned. It will be remembered that Lieut. McDougall, Lieut. McGregor, and Cerp. J. Dover, besides having highest scores, were all equal. It has since been arranged that the medal will be competed for again by these three parties.
