Sunxk.—On Wednesday evening a small schooner called the Favorite, belonging to Miramichi, took shelter in Summerside from the storm. During the night she dragged her anchors and struck against the Railway Wharf, where she sank in about twenty feet of water. The crew had barely time to cliiab on the wharf before she went down. The Favorite was on her way to Miramichi with a cargo of hard coal for Hon. W. Muirhead.

We hear that the schooner Jessie, with “ cargo of potatoes, went ashore near Beach Point, Lot 15, on Friday night.

The schooner Star of the Sea, Captain

Delaney, from Pictou for Quebec, coal laden, was driven ashore about a mile north of West Point Light. She will probably be condemned and sold. A small vessel of about twelve tons is ashore between West. Point and Pierre Jacques. This vessel will be got off. * Riemrevoro, Oct. 30.—The damage is greater than at firat supposed, many of the lobster factories on the shore being ruined. The schooner Velocity of Richibucto, was east ashore on Buctouche beach, and an- other schooner is ashore at Little Gully, a eomplete wreck.

The brig Lauretta, Capt. Christie, ap- peared off Point Tupper at about 114 o'clock, with the sailson her mainmast blown to ribbons,and her foresail and lower topsails blown to pieces. The brig was light. When off Grant’s Cove she dropped both anchors, but could not find holding ground. She dragged until nearly ashore on the rocks near Port Porcupine, when in a squall which threatened speedy destruction, they cut away the mainmast and saved her. After the gale abated we went off to her in the Dominion wharf boat. came on shore and telegraphed the owners, Messrs. Welsh & Owen, of Charlottetown. The brig was on her way home from Ply- mouth, Eng.—Hastern Beacon, Uct, 29.

CHARLOTTETOWN, Nov. 3, 1879.

Dar Str,—The great topic of conversation |

between business mex and others for the past.

' , . . » | | week or ten days, has been the irrejularity of |

of the mails. From the middle of October until the close of navigation, it is simply im- possible for the mails to be otherwise than irregular, for the steamers “St. Lawrence” and ‘‘Princess of Wales” are totally unfit to cope with anything approaching a storm, Last week we had only three mails: one on Monday, one on Tuesday, and one on Thu rsday. It happened to be blowing pretty heavily

on Wednesday, and, of course, the steamers did not cross. On Friday and Saturday it was the same _ story blowing a gale, impossible to cross. What

we want is a screw steamer and until we have one there will be no satisfaction during the months of November and December, as far as the mails: are concerned. ‘he surveying steamer ‘‘Gulnare” begins her summer work about the middle of May and ends it about the middle of October. ‘There is no reason in the world why she should not be chartered to carry the mails between Summerside and Point du Chene, from the first of November to the close of navigation. It would put money in the pockets of her owners, and be both a convenience and satisfaction to the public generally and to business men in particular. Not only is the mail question to be considered but also the travelling public. When aman leaves Charlottetown in the morning, fully expecting to arrive ‘in St. Joha, the same evening, it is, to say the least very aggravat- ing to find he will be obliged to remain in Summerside for two or three days. It is high time that we had a change ir this respect, and it is to be hoped there will be no cause for complaint next year.

Messenger Boy vs. All Right.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

S1r,—I notice in the advertising columns of the Summerside Journal the following chal- lenge, signed ‘* Newton Lee’’:;—

‘IT am prepared to trot any Stallion on P E. Island with .my Stallion ‘All ..ight,” from $25 to $100 on Upton Park, Charlotte- town, this fall.”

It is—when we consider the ignoble defeat he suffered at Kensington recently—-quite plucky of Mr. Lee, and 1 would through com- passion for his animal, pass it by uinotice: were it not prefaced by the following budget of unfaceable fabrications, also signed ‘‘ New- ton Lee’. —

‘* As there has been considerable talk about the forthcoming Race between ‘‘ Messenger Boy” and ‘‘ All Right,” which was made be- fore the Kensington Races, both Mr. Large and the driver of his horse agreed to trot “Messenger Boy” ageinst my horse ‘* All Right.” on Upton Park, Charlottetown, in the course of twoor three weeks. With the ex- pectation of trotting the aforesaid race, I allowed my horse to start at Kensington, (which I would not hav: done if the other race had not been made) although he was not in condition, and had met with an accident which should have stopped his trotting this year. I went to Charlottetown the first Mon- day after the race at Kensington, to see Mr. Large and deposit the money on the race, and I was very much surprised when he said he would not trot his horse this fall; his excuse was very light and is not worth mentioning.”

I say the above is a-‘‘budget of fabrica tions,” So much so that there is not one word of truth in the whole paragraph save that in regard to Mr. Lee's trip to Charlotte- town, which I will satisfactorily explain.

At the conclusion of the Kensington races it was rumored that Mr. Lee expressed his in- tention of having another race between ‘‘ All Right” and ‘‘Messenger Boy.” In order to accommodate him I authorized Capt, John A. McLeod, of New London, to arrange sucha race for $100 a side, to take place on Upton Park. Capt. McLeod met Mr. Lee at Ken- sington not six hours after the conclusion of the stallion race; informed him that he was authorized by myself to make a hundred dollar match between the stallions, and asked Mr. Lea if he was willing to enter on an agreement for such a match. Mr. Lea de- clined, and Captain McLeod informed me of the fact. Hearing nothing further from Mr. Lea, I decided to let my horse go out of training, and published a notice to that effect in the city papers. Immediately afterthe pub- lication of that netice, and directly after my horse went out of training, Mr. Lea arrived in this city (six days after the Kensington races) to arrange a soft race, As my horse was out of training, and as I gave Mr. Lea two echances—previous to the one at Kensington— to meet me, of I course declined.

Mr. Lee, like his horse, is very sore over his defeat at Kensington, and as he greatly com- plained of not having his horse in condition; not having time to fit, etc., I will leave him now to commence fitting for the next season, when I will trot him a race every week, from spring to fall, for any Sum he wishes to name.

I am yours, &c.,
