THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY HOW 1? WAS OBSERVED Excursions to Pictou, CRAPAUD, AND OTHER PLACES.
Football Match at Pictou. THE ABEGWEITS’ EASY VICTORY.
oe ee
THe seventieth birthday of Her Majesty the Queen was quietly observed on Satur- day. With the exception of a slight cloud- burst in the afternoon, which was, how- ever, of short duration, the weather (throughout was fine and cool. The public offices and other places of business were closed during the day, and there wasa fair display of bunting from the dierent public buildings and stores and the shipping in the harbor. At noon the usual royal salute of \twenty-one guns was fired from Fort Ed- | ward by a detachment from No. 2 Battery, ;G. A., under command ot Captain Long- worth. Every person who could get out of town made a point of doing so. At an early hour crowds could be observed wend- ing their way in the direction of the rail- way station, Steam Navigation Compavy’s wharf, and the different livery stables. Some were bound fur Pictou, others oa lishing exeursions, and others again to visit relatives and friends. All were on pleasure bent, and all enjoyed themselves.
THE EXCURSION TO PICTOU,
Nearly three hundred people took pas- sage in the steamer Princess of Wales for the excursion io Pictou. The run across was delightful, the water calm and every- body thoroughly enjoyed the passage. Pic- tou was reached at 12 o’elock, and, after partaking of an excellent dinner on “board, or else at tbe Revere House, the excursion- ists proceeded to **do” the town. Quite a large nuinber visited the Acacia Nursery, and brought home with them beautifal boquets of flowers. At two o’clock a move was made to the grounds of the Pictou Athletic Club, where the match between the Abegweits and Pictou team was to be played.
THE FOOTBALL MATCH.
+The following is the list-of the team sent over by the Abegweits :— 3ack—Alex. McDonak.
Half-backs—George E. Robinson, McDonald, A. E. Ings, (Capt).
Quarter-backs—J. F. Whear, G. Rankin.
Forwards—A. H McNeill, C. Leigh, jr., F. W. Moore, “A. A. McDonald, K. j. Martin, W. Matheson, RK. H. McDonald, J. Ross, A. Harding.
Play .was begun: about half-past two. The Pictou Captain won the toss and elected to defend the northern goal), there- by gaining, during the first half of the game, the aid of a strong wind that was blowing diagonally across the field. The ball was kicked off for the Abegweits by Ings, and before it could be returned by the Pictou backs the AbLegweit forwards were upon them and Pictou was compelled torouge. ‘he play continued for some time a succession of brilliant though ursuc- cessful runs by the Abegweit half-backs, followed by desperate scrummages along the Pictou goal liue. his was varied by a fine attempt by Robinson at a goal from the field. As the ball soared high in the air it was thought that it would fall between the posts, but a strong gust of wind carried it to one side and the half-formed cheer died away from the throats of the Abegweits. But the monotony of rouges and scrummages was soon again to be raised. Perey Mac- donald got the ball and after a sharp run crossed the goal line closely pursued by four Pictonians. It seemed apparent, to every Abegweit at least, that Perey had sole possession of the ball when he crossed the line. But the Pictonians did not see the matter quite in that light, and a strag- gle, unequal numerically, for the posses- sion of the ball began between the one Abegweit against four Pictonians. Ex- citement ran pretty high for a time, until the referee, who was not altogether clear as to the merits of the con- ‘tention ordered it to cease and the ball to be taken out five yards and therescrummag- ed. Another try was also claimed by the Abegweits, but disallowed. On half time being called, no decisive advantage had been secured by either side, although the Abegweits had some minor points in their favor. On play being resumed, the Abeg- weits had the wind slightly in their favor. It was not long before Robinson, by the best run of the day, passed successively through the Pictou forwards and_half- backs and made a touch-down directly be- hind the goal. The ball was taken out by the Captain and a goal kicked by Leigh. Heretofore, the Abegweits have been content with one goal, or eveu a try in the course of a game, but they were not so easily satisfied on Saturday. In a very few minutes after the first goal was made, Robinson, by a drop kick from about the twenty five yard line, made the second goal for the Abegweits. This was unpre- cedented. Buc the record was to be still more completely broken. After a number of runs by the half-backs the ball was sent into touch a few yards from the Pictou goal line. On the throw-in Reginald Mac- donald secured the ball, and by a sharp dash made another try. This was easily converted into a goal by Leigh. The game soon after terminated in a victory for the Abegweits of three goals and several minor points to nothing.
D. H. Robinson umpiredfor the Abeg- weits and Dr. Stewart acted as referee.

for Friday, fell through owing to the Char- lottetown excursion having been changed to Saturday. A match was played on Fri- day between the Pictou and Westville teams, with a goal in favor of Pictou.
THE RETURN TRIP.
The steamer left at 5 o’clock on return. When half way out of Pictou harbor, it was discovered that several passengers were left behind on the wharf. In answer to their signals the steamer was slowed up,
and they were brought off, some in a tug and some in a_ sail-boat. They were received on board the steam- er with cheers of welcome’ which
were not so much appreciated as their heartiness deserved. After tea the young men on board, headed by our lusty football champions, started some songs. It was now beginning to be rough, and whether it was the troubled ocean or the songs, or both, it soon came to pass that the decks were cleared of a number of passengers. There was not very much sea-sickness, al- though some of the fairsex did not re- appear until the voyage was ended. So between singing and joking, and music from the Band of the 82nd Battalion, the five hours passed quickly, At ten o’clock the steamer touched the wharf at Charlotte- town and landed its load of passengers, some of them tired, some of them sick, but all well pleased with the manner in which they had spent the seventieth anniversary of the birthday of Her Mvat Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. THE EXCURSION TO CRAPAUD,
The excursion to Crapaud in the after- noon was also a very pleasant affair. The Heather Belle left Steam Navigation Com- pany’s wharf at three o’clock with a goodly number of people on board, and returned | shortly before ten in the evening. The sai] was thoroughly enjoyed.

The entering wedge of a complaint that may prove fatal is often a slight cold, which a dose or two of *)er’s Cherry Pectoral might have cured at ti. commencement. It would be well, therefore to keep this remedy within reach at all times,

came to grief. Another boat capsized off, Peake’s No. 2 wharf later in the afternoon, | and for atime there was a profusion of dry

left early in the day on a fishing excursion : to Johnstone’s River, but, becoming afraid of the weather, on their way home put in for shelterat afarm-house, above Fullerton’s Marsh, where they remained all night. Their parents, of course, did not know what delayed them, and their feelings can easily be imagined. But the lads turned up all right yesterday morning.
4 FISH STORY,
A merry party of ladies and gentlemen | passed the day fishing at a well-known re- | sort nota dozen miles from town. One! story is to the effect that the total catch of | the ladies consisted of a flat-fish, pin-fish, | cobbler and gudgeon, and that of the; gentlemen of—a curtain lecture each. The | other is that the fish fought shy of the; pond duriag their stay and they didn’t even | get a bite. The latter story is probably, correct. Ladies, as a class, are more expert at angling for another kind of fish.
THE DAY AT GEORGETOWN.
A royal salute was fired from this port, by the boys, under command of Lieut. ' Stewart, and by the Artillery Company under Captain Owen. The boys used a, brass cannon generally placed at their dis- posal by Capt. McLaren, of Her Majesty’s cruiser Critic, and handled it very well for, their first attempt. After this, these loyal’ boys, who compose the Georgetown Band,
played the National Anthem; and, perhaps, in no part of the Empire were the _ strains more cheering
and patriotic. It is well to see these grow- | ing hopefuls do their part to bind strong- | er the chain—even if in sentiment alone— | that unites us tothe mother Jand. They also played several choice selections for the pleasure of the citizens. A few flags were given to the ,breeze, and the Critic was gayly decorated with bunting. Some en- joyed a boat sail in the harbor; others, drove into the
country, which is now looking delighttully green. NOTES. } Isn’t it about time we had. an excursion | from Pictou on the Queen’s Birthday or’ Dominion Day ¢ A number of very pleasant private! picnics were held at Rocky Point and else- where during the day. What about a return match between the Abegweit and Pictou teams, on Victoria’ Park, on Dominion Day? It would draw. { This everlasting ‘* excursion to Pictou ed is becoming monotonous. Let the next ex- | cursion be to some of the outports on the island. Many people would appreciate the
change.

Railway Mishaps.
On Saturday morning last, as No 2 loco- motive of the C. R. and ©. Co., was hauling duff for ballasting on the Springhill and Ox- ford R. R., she ran against a tree that had fallen or had been placed across the track near Saltspring. The locomotive and tender were seriously damaged. No one was injur- ed. Ifthe cars had been loaded, the loco-
motive and train would probably have gone
over a steep embankment with consequent disastrous results.
‘Lhere was quite a serious accident at Pet- ticodiac on Wednesday morning. An engine of the Petticodiac, Elgin and Havelock road was doing some shunting on the Elgin side of the 1. C. R. main line, but was unable to clear the switch and came in side collision with conductor Coffey’s special from Moncton, which was passing on the I. C. R. main line. Four flat cars of conductor Coffey’s train were thrown off the track and the tender and cab of the Elgin road engine were smashed. Driver Killam of the Elgin road, who was in his engine, was slightly hurt.
Personal,
Qld men are in a state of decay, rapidly in- creasing with every year; and they must take this fact into the account in what they attempt to do.
Mr. Gladstone, who was offered by a news- paper syndicate the handsome sum of $25,000 for a series of twenty-five articles on subjects of current interest, showed hia good sense in declining the offer by saying:
“At my age the stock of brain power does pot wax, but waae. And the public calls up- on my time leave me only a fluctuating resi- due to dispose of. All idea of 4 series of efforts is, therefore, I have decided, wholly beyond my power to embrace.”
