€ attendance is large and representative the whole Province. Many prominent blic men and farmers from the out- wwties mingle in the throng.

The show of horses, cattle, sheep and ver live stock is larger and better than

tw. any previous exhibition ; and the play in the drill shed is, in some re- vets, superior to that of any other year.

ADDRESS.

His Honor the Honorable Jedediah 8S. Carvell, &c., &c., &e. ¥ Ilr Piease Your Honor: ‘he undersigned, on behalf of the Board of a uissioners appointed by your predecessor founcil to conduct the Provincial Exhibi- 1, have much pleasure in congratulating ir Honor on your appointment to the posi- .of Lieutenant Governor of this Province, on your assumption of the important ies connected therewith. fopes were entertained in the early part of year that the Exhibition of this year would ld under the new arrangement in the unds of the Charlottetown Driving and In- rial Exhibition Company; but though st eflorts have been made and large sums ended in fencing, grading and otherwise reving the recently acquired property of Company, yet it has been found impossible omplete a building of the character and ensions required for exhibition purposes ng the present year. There are, , good reasons for believing that the vince and its capital will soon eujoy the of buildings and grounds in all respects able to the purposes contemplated. ones », it may be useful to contrast the past and eat position, and future prospects of this ince in connection with its agricultural industrial pursuits. 1@ Various Governments of the Island, be- and sinee the establishment of respon- : Government, made constant and liberal ts (in proportion to the means at their osal) to improve the breeds of all domestic sais. They imported horses for the saddle, vacriage and the various purposes of agri- ire. And this has laid the foundation of superior stock the Province now possesses. wlso, with regard to cattle, the favorite dl im these early days was the Ayrshire, somewhat later the Shorthorn. ‘The pub- | as been indebted to private enterprise for ntroduction of breeding stock, both of _ shire and Shorthorns, as also the Channel | 1d Breeds, so widely and so justly cele- | od for the richness and abundance of their ; of the Holsteins for their larger size as as their milk producing qualiries; also of derefords, an old established stock in the ity from which they take their name, long wated for the excellent quality of their ,and their general perfection of form.

cereals which are generally held to be the crowning glory of the agricultural year, and it is within the knowledge of the undersigned that farmers are much discouraged by the low price of grain. Probably your Honor’s per- sonal experience as an exporter of grain may have led you to the conclusion, that prices above the current market rates can only be obtained by producing samples of superior weight and quality—or shortening snpply by holding back in expectation of rise. The former course is to be recommended, and is available to avy skilful, enterprising farmer; the latter practicable only for men in easy

themselves losers in the long run by holding for a rise. Are we, then, to regard the partial failure of our grain crop—the rusted stem, the ear lightened of its proper burden, by the ravages of the insect progeny of the tly or wheat midge ?

Let those who are inclined to despond be- cause of the partial failure of the wheat and oat crops of 1889 remember that problems as difficult have, ere now, been solved by scien- tific research. Counsel should be taken with the managers of the Experimental Farms, particularly with Professor Sauuders,to whom it would be a labor of love to devise and apply remedies suitable to damage so serious.

But though Experimental Farms are estab- lished over most regions of this continent, yet their managers must be supplied with reliable data before they set themselves to devise the proper remedies. Ate these disheartening failures of wheat and eats due to poverty of the soil or to cl'matic influences? or to simply the action of insect or fungoid ravages? Set before the Professors an exact description of the land which yielded a satisfactory return of these cereals. It had probably been well manured. As to quality as wellas quantity it was dry, with a good exposure, and gave satisfactory returns. But what about those other fields, where the juices of the wheat, which should have swelled the ripening ear, were sucked out by the maggot or the wheat midge, leaving the farmer empty hu!ls instead of the full kernel he expectad !

Perhaps close investigation might lead to the conclusion that the poor crops were starved by the scarcity of those mineral sub- stances said to be essential to the production of healthy grain as nails are tu the building of a house. There may have been manuring in both cases: in the successful one, the manure derived from full-fed stock, no waste being incurred from exposure or other causes; in the other case, the manure may have been derived from straw-fed, eattle, and no care taken to prevent loss by the washing of rain water aa melting of snow, nor help being given to the land by the use of artificial ter. tilizers, the rotation of crops being also dis- regarded.

Can no mechanical and be suggested to the farmer, by which noxious insects can be dis- persed by spraying or destroyed by poisonoas liquids or powders? The undersigned ask your Honor’s permission to illustrate the sub- ject by very remote and very recent ex- perience. The turnip crops of Great Britain have, during the last century, if not longer, been frequently destroyed on their appear- ance above ground by the little jumping beetle, of which we know something in this Island Province. Large rewards have been offered for the discovery of an efficient remedy by destroying or driving off these pests. But no such remedy was discovered till last year, when an effective spraying machine was tried at one of the model farms in the west of Eng- land and approved. The same or a similar machine lately mct with a welcome reception at the Paris Exhibition, and it is hoped that by its aid the diseases effecting the vines may be arrested, and the machine be also used for reading powdered fertilizing substances. ruly your Honor, in these days of active re- search, a ceatury will not be required to de- vise efficient protection for our cereals, against both their insect and fungoid enemies,

Add to these encouraging circumstances the recent vietories won at Moncton by the own- ers of Island horses, cattle and sheep, and last, but not least, of Island orchardists competing with a fruit producing country of the highest reputation.

Nevertheless, though we may have +o ac- knowledge some partial failures, yet, in this year of our Lord 1889 we may safely claim great advances in rural affairs.

What abundance of delicious fruits are now produced at home ! The Emperor ! the Duch-

‘ess of Oldenburgh ! the Gravenstein and many

other varieties ot apples. The cultivated strawberry, the bush berries, the culinary vegetables, thejflowers,the poultry and eggs, the butter and cheese—not one of these is a new industry, but how much more widely and sue- cessfully practised to-day than when the tirst general exhibition was held in this bui!d- ing twenty-two years ago. Asa _ subject for pleasing contemplation, and for the encourag- ment of the despondent ones, it may be asked Who can tell how much those improvements contribute to the healthy, theJenjoyment, the culture and the riches of the community ? Considering all these things, we may safely assert that the Island province is fairly abreast of her two maritime sisters in stock- breeding and rural economy. Wishing your Honor and your amiable lady all happiness and prosperity, the undersigned, on behalf of their Board, respectfully submit the forego- ing.

His Honor replied with an extempore speech. He thanked the Commissioners for their congratulations in respect to his appointinent to the high office of Lieutenant- ernor, and for their jwishes to himself and Mrs. Carvell. In his turn,*he congratulated the Commissiosers on the fine day and the magnificent success of the Exhibition, which, he said, was beyond and above any previous efforts of the people. He referred to the excellence of the exhi- bitions at Summerside and Georgetown, and tothe good conduct of the ple at- tending them. At Georgetown there were, he computed, about four thousand persons on the exhibition grounds, and out of that large number there were only eight, or ten, or a dozen persons who forgot themselves. Altogether, the good: order maintained at both exhibitions was, in hig opinion, mar- vellous. The exhibition which he was now called upon to open was a subject for pride and satisfaction. There is not room for the exhibits, many of the exhibitors being com to seek quarters for their horses

hibition building was full to the uttermost. His Honor referred to the several products of the year, and said, that, taken altogether, he believed they were, in point of money value, second to none ever before raised in any single year. He expressed the hope and belief that the exhibitions would go on increasing in size from year to year, after greater facilities are afforded, Referring particularly to the excellence of the fruit exhibit, he pointed ont that the culture of apples is exceedingly profitable, and showed ‘how foolish it is t> raise only about one-half ‘of one per cent. of the apples consumed in the Province. He commented upon the excellence of the live stock exhibits, and spoke strongly about the general utility of exhibitions, which enable farmers to com- pare their best products, and to obtain mutually beneficial information,

dressed the audience, referring particularly to the change of management which would take place next year, his long service under the old regime,and his probable retirement, next year, from the office of Secretary.

FRUIT.

The fruit tables—extending across the room—were the first attraction in the ex- hibition building; and almost the first ob- servation made by everyone was, ‘‘Why import large quantities of fruit when we can grow such excellent fruit ourselves?’ We have not seen finer apples anywhere than were exhibited at each of the three exhibitions this year. The had fa very {difficult task to perform There were about three hundred different samples to choose from, all the leading varieties were shown, and between many of the samples there was merely a shade of difference. They were, however, very careful in their work, using the scales and judiciously weighing the merits of the fruit. It may be interesting to know that five of the largest apples on exhibition weighei exactly four pounds and three ounces. a hundred samples of splendid fruit, fully developed in every particular, The pears did not make so large an exhibit, but thoce shown were large and luscious to a degree.

The sample shown by George F. Owen, Esq, of Cardigan, was deli- cious, and we have no doubt that other samples were almost, if not

quite as good. Very large bunches of grapes—the grapes being fully developed— were shown, sand some very good plums were exhibited by Mrs. Earie and others— though this is the off year. Altogether the show of fruit was most encouraging to farmers and others who look forward to the production of abundance of fruit for them- selves and for sale. By the way, we hear complaints that thieves have lately visited many of the orchards, taking the fruit and injuring the trees. The robbing of orch- ards should no longer be treated as a venal offence, but should be frowned down and the robbers punished. It is too bad that persons striving to cultivate good orchards should be annoyed in this way.

FLOWERS,

The show of flowers was not large, but included some of the choicest kinds. noticed particularly the delicate lilies of L. W. Watson, Esq.; and there were asters, verbenas, dahlias, petunias, gladolius, fuschias, pansies, and many cther varieties of beautiful flowers shown by Mr. H. Small- wood, of Middleton, Miss Longworth, of Giynwood, Mrs. Richard Burke, of Char- lottetown Royalty, Miss Sarah Essory, of Charlottetown Royalty, Mrs. Adam Fyfe of Summerside, Mrs. Edward Baytield, Mr. Archibald Irwin, Mrs. Beaton, Mrs. Geo. W. Hodgson, Miss E. McKinnon, Miss Lottie Strickland, and others.

FINE ARTS.

The exhibition of paintings was credit- able to a community so small as Charlotte- town. There were one or two very fair landscapes, and a good marine sketch. The crayon drawing of St. Aloysius is remark- able as the work of a girl living at New Zealand, who has received no instruction in the art and but little general education. The production of this crayon shows that she has the force of natural genius, and that, if she continues to obey the sugges- tions of nature, and obtains instruction in drawing, etc., she may take rank among the artists of her day and generation.

GRAIN,

The show of grain was not so large as it ought to have been, nor were the samples quite as good as those shown at Summer- side and Georgetown. The prize wheat weighed 64 lbs. per bushel, as against 67 ibs. at Georgetown ; and the prize black oats weighed 47} lbs. per bushel, as against 48 lbs. at Georgetown. The prize white vats weighed 474 lbs., and Norway oats 47 jks. per bushel. The barley was excep- tionally heavy, weighing 58 and 60 lbs. per bushel, or 12 lbs. above the standard.

BOOTS AND VEGETABLES,

Of potatoes there were fifty-three baskets on exhibition. We have not seen a finer collection. Other roots and vegetables were rather below than above the mark of former years. The celery shown by Mr. C. E. Rowe, James Burke and C. E. Mce- Kinnou is greatly adimired, and the large and very fine collections of vegetables ex- hibited by Mr. James Bourke, of South- port, and Richard Bourke, of Charlotte- town Royalty, are also worthy of special mention. The tallest fodder corn we have seen—some 18 or 20 feet in length—was shown by Messrs. William and Herbert Howard, of South Wiltshire Road. A sample of very fine white onions were shown by William Heard, Esq. °

BUTTER AND OHEESE.

‘There were about seventy samples of butter and thirty-five of cheese, fully sus- taining the reputation of the Island Pro- vince. Samples of splendid cheese from the Cornwall and Dunk River Factories, and by Mr. Gieorge Compton, Summerside, were shown. he exhibits of farmers’ cheese were very fine as usual; and the quality of the butter shown was, on the whole, excellent.

THINGS WORTHY OF MENTION.

Among the many things worthy of men- tion we note: The sample of inlaid work shown by Mr. Joseph Perry, of this city ; a ‘fretwork cabinet, very well done; an exhibit

of buggy tops, seats and suitings, by Messrs. | Norton & Fennel, of this city; Mr. J. H. Bell's exhibit of handmede boots; the pyra- mid of soap made at the factory of Messrs. ‘Beer & Sons, in this city; Mr. C. I. -Morrison’s exhibit of the *‘ Ideal Washing Machine,”—an excellent labor-saving ma-
