Precisely at noon His Honor the Lieuten ant Governor arrived, accompanied by Mrs. McDonald, and F. H. Conroy, Esq , and was received on the platform by His Wor- ship the Mayor, His Honor Judge Hensley, Hon. Donald Ferguson, Senators Carvell and Montgomery, F. L. MeNuit, Esq., M. L. C., Patrick Blake, Esq., M. P. P., George W. DeBlois, Esq., William Haslam, Eeq., Archibald McNeill, Esq., Secretary of the Board of Commissioners, the Venerable Dr. Mackinson, and other gentlemen. Jadge Hensley, on behalf of the Board of Commissioners read the following,— ADDRESS :
To His Honor the Honorable Anpriw Ancarpatp Macporatp, Lieut.-Governor of the Province of Prince Edward Island: My ir ptease Your Honor,—The Com-
miss »ners appointed to manage the Prince Edward Island Provincial Exhibition (1884) have great pleasure in welcoming you on this cession, being the first since you assumed ve duties of Lieutenant Governor of this Provinces. We heartily c ngratulate you upon your appointment to that nigh and important otties, and trust that you may be enabled to discharge its duties with satisfaction to your- self, as we are weil assured you will tothe sat- isfaction of the people. We know that we have good reason for this assurance since you are no atrenger to us, but a long known and valued citizen who, through mavy years past (we inay aay from boyhood up) has held various posis of henor and confidence in the Legislature aud other branches of the Public Service, invariably fulfilling their requirements with courtesy and credit, In this expression of opinion and goodwill we are sensible that the people of this Province will concur.
We wish every h«poiness for yourself, Mrs. Macdonald and family during your term of otlice, and in all future time.
Although there is uo specially new feature in the present Exhibition calling for remark, it is, we believe, in the number cf its exhibits, by no means behind any of its predecessors. It certainly proclaims that a vast improvement in the excellence and variety of the various products acd live stock of the Provence has been develooed during the last few years.
Au effort was made last spriag by some of our leading inhabitants to secure the holding in Charlotxetowa this year, of the General Exhibition of the whole Dominion. Various causes combined to make this effort unsuc- cessful, and perhaps among others the fact that the meeting of the eminent scientists composing the British Association being held in Montreal, made it not only desirable, but almost imperatively necessary thatthe Exhi- bition should be held there also.
We hope that another and more successful effort willat some future time be made to secure the object in view of holding the General Dowinion Exhibition in Prince Edward Island. United action on the part of the Local Government, the Civic authorities ia Charlottetown, and the general public could, we know from enquiry, be easily secured to obtain this desired result, and will, we have no doubt at no very distant day, be exercised for the purpose.
We now request Your Honor to declare this Exhibition open.
On behalf of the Commissioners,
Josern HENs-ey, Chairman.
Charlottetown, Oct, 8, 1884.
His Honor replied as follows :
REPLY.
To the Commissioners of the Provincial Ex- hibition :
Mr. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN,—I thank you heartily for your address, and for the kind words of welcome you have spoken.
It is very gratifying to me to receive your congratulations on my appointment to the otlice of Lieutenant Governor of this Province, and to hear your generous expressions of con- fidence that the important duties now devolv- ing mpon me shall be faithfully discharged. I am pleased to know that I have fulfilled the trusts heretofore reposed in me in a manner th»t has met with the approval of the public, ani it is my anxious desire, by a constitutional and impartial administration of the affairs of this honorable office, to still merit the appro- bation of the people of my native Province.
I teem it a high honor to be ask. d to open this Exhibition, which offers such a good re- presentation of the results of our husb.ndry, and the practical skill of our artizins, and shows a continuing improvement in the qua! ty of live stock, for which this Island has bee »me so justly celebrated.
liaving no valuable mines nor extensive timbee lands which contribute so much to the wealth of other Provinces of Canada, the f-rtile soil of this Island presents the best
field for industry, and this exhie bition conveys some idea of its capa- bilities uader a proper system ef tillage. | The progress now being
made in the?bnsiness of farmiag and in the raising of stock will tend, I have no doubt, to foster a taste for agricultural pursuits throughout the country, and will iaduce many young men who might otherwise leave our shores to earn a precarious living in other conntries, to settle down on farms in the Island, where honest labor will be sure to meet an abundant reward.
The great success attained abroad by ex- hibitors from this Island has tended to make this Province more widely kauown, and caused | its products to be sought for by foreign mar- kets. Ina view of these results it is important that our people should lose no opportunit” of competing with their neighbors in those branches of industry to which they have given attention.
While it is to be regretted that the effort raade to sccure the holding of the Dominion Exhibition at Charlottetown this year did not prove successful, I entertain the hope that the object in view may some day he realized.
For your good wishes for the happivess of Mrs. Macdonald and family and for myself, please to accept my sincere thanks,
In accordance with your re quest, JT now de- clare the Provincial Exhibition opon, and | trust that your ijabors and these of your efficient Secretary may conduct it to a satis- factory close,
Charlottetown, October 8, 1884.

THE DAILY
— =
Esq , (who retains his place as a leading exiiinior) shows thiriy different varieties of potatoes grown by him from the seed bals; also some of the finest mangel ever exhibited in this Province.
Kuight, of Government House farin, is the ext itor of twelve variettes of vegetables—ali first-class—as wi'l be seen to the prize list. The white held carrots exhibited by him are immense. The Messrs. Burke, Caarlottetown Royalty and Southport, are very suecesstul ex- hibitors in this class.
WOOLLEN GOODS.
There isa very good show of woollen goods. The leading exhibitors are the Tryon Woollen Factory Company, and the Charlottetown Woollen Factory Company. Each exhibits upwards of a hundred and twenty different pieces and patterns, all of whieh are made from the wool supplied by our own farmers. The clothes are ef ex- cellent quality, and in point of finish are quite good enough for any gentleman in the land. It is not strange that both mills are flourishing. Their cloths should be worn by all Islanders.
The mats and rugs are ‘ better than ever,’ and give evidence not only of good workmanship, but of a very fine taste in the selection of colors, The ladies, by whom the best are manufactured (no prize list), deserve very great credit.
FRUIT.
The fruit show is very fine indeed ; pity it is not shown to better advantage. Dia- played as in the large exhibition buildings of the other Provinces, tie fruit would be a very marked feature and a greet attrac- tion. Mr. Abram Gill exhibits a case of fruit, containing six different varieties of crab applies, and he has on exhibition ten varieties of apples—all grown to perfection in his own orchard. The apples shown by Benj. E. Wright, Mrs. George Davies and Win. Gill, would, we believe, take high rank in Nova Scotia, or indeed in any part of Canada. William Heard, Esq., shows some very fine grapes ; and the red piums shown by Wm. Brown, Esq., are magnili- cent.
BUTTER ' aND CHEESE.
This is a large class, and a most difficult class to judge. The exhibits were better, on the average, than in any previous year ; and the differences between the choice lots were exceedingly nice. Those who obtained the prizes deserve very great credit ; and those who did not get prizes should not feel discouraged or displeased, either with them- selves or the judges. On the whole, it is very gratifying to mark so decided an im- provement all round, in those important products of the farm.
GALVANIZED IRON,
Messrs. George and Fred. Fos‘er make an exhibit of galvanized irons for use on sea and land which are well worthy of attention, and which show that itis not necessary to go abroad for these goods. The galvanized ship block straps and clew irons were made by Mr. George Foster for anew ship owned by Wilijam Welsh, Esq. The gate binges manufactured by Mr. Fred. Foster should commend themselves to our farmers and others who desire to have the entrance totheir homes made neat and ornamental, and who like to be economical. The galvanized iron will not rust and wiil not rot the wood. A word to the wise is sufticient.
SOAPS,
Messrs. Beer & Sons exhibit eoap, made at their factory, in this city, of ten differ- ent brands; also, toilet soaps in smali cakes, and sainples of potash as prepared and sold by them. Tne success of their venture in the soap manufacturing line seems to be assured ; and if they keep up the excellence of their soaps and sell at reasonable prices—as they are pretty sure to do—they will, in the course of a few years, fully supply the home market.
BUTTER TUBS, ETC.
Mr. H. Coombs shows his patent butter tubs. in different sizes ; also, several first- class barrels ; also, models of the life-boat invented by him ; also the model of an im- proved wagon top. Ali but the last of these articles have been exhibited in Toronto, Montreal and other places, and have been favorably noticed. ‘They give evidence of practicai talent, which we hope to see redound to the honor and profit of Mr. Coombs.
ART,
While the artistic work on exhibition do not give much evidence of genius, it is pleasing to note that there are among us earnest and skilful workers in art. In all the exhibits there are evidences of effort to such a high ideal of merit; and we have no deubt, that by the exercise of patience and perseverance, the ideal will be reached by at least some of the exhibitors,
THE BAY STATE FERTILIZER.
Mr. J. M. Auld, the well known egg merchant, exhibits the ingredients of which the ‘* Bay State Fertilizer” is composed, in twelve glass bottles) They smell well, and attracted the attention of our ‘most enterprising farmers, most of whom have come to the conelusion that fertilizers, judiciously used, pay.
ORGANS AND SEWING MACHINES.
Messrs. Miller Brothers of this city ex- hibit two very fine organs and also several sewing machines for which they are agenis. They also show specimens of work done by their sewing machines.—which are well worth examiaing.
GRAIN.
The exhibit of grain was small ; but the
samples shown were excellent. ON THE WHOLE There is shown at the Exhibition a very
fine, if rather small, representation of ‘the products of the Province.,
