Formal Opening Yesterday by His Hon. Lieutenant Governor. ancc. Record Number of Exhibits.

The formal opening of the Pro- vincial Exhibition took place ut noon yesterday.

The school girls ot Prince Street and Roch-ford Square Schools and tho Boys Naval Brigade paraded to the grounds headed by the 4th Regl meat Band and presented a very pleasing spectacle

The school children occupied the grand-stand at the north end of tho building and between tho speeches rendered patriotic selections un- dor the direction of Brofessor Flet- cher. The boys of the Naval Brig- ade were drawn up in line on the ground floor and attired in their natty looking British jackies uni- forms and carrying rifles mad-o an excellent appearance and already showed the results oi the training which they are receiving.

The speakers ior'thc occasion were ‘Mr. John J. Davies, Presi- dcnt oi the Exhibition Association, who in tho name of that body tic- llvcrod an address of welcome; Lieutenant Governor Murdock Mc- Klnnon, who declared the exhibit- ion open; Hon. Walter M. Lea. (‘ommtssloner of Agriculture, l-lon_ John ll. Bell. Premier, Mrs. Has- hrouck, oi Ontario, ‘who is horo to‘ speak on the subject of Child Wel- fare. and lion‘ C. Ludlow Living- stone. United States Consul.

Mr. Davies in his address out- lined. the history of the Exhibition Association since it was inaugur-

sllltl he. "we had held ldxhllbitiorts every year this would be our 31st show,

but owing to no fault of the dir- ectors there were three years, (1898, 1899111111 1901) lnJlhich no Exhibitions were held because the local government in power in those yours was unable to help. ln i918 wo were without a local grant but owing to assistance from the Mer- chants and Horsemetfs Associat- ions tho Exhibition was hold. The original intention 0t‘ thc founders oi‘ this Association was to have it absolutely an Island institution and not open to the other provinces, but after the first eiglrt years this somewhat narrow policy was ab- andoned and the Exhibitions alter 1901 were opened for competition to the Maritime Provinces. Later. when Dominion Government grants‘ wore received, the fair was thrown open to all Canada. This is ihol 28th Exhibition 0t" the Association and thc eighth of tho series open‘ to all of Canada. The tlalo of tho Plxhihition was advanced one wot-k this year entirely to suit tho in- tort-sts of the farmers. The harvest! hud been latesand roots and fruits had not. reached tiho desirod stale oi perfection for show purposcslly special arrangement. with the local Rovorntnent the prizes this year have been increased. The Associa- tion is also in receipt oi‘ tho usual Brant oi $2500 front the Dominion Live Stock Department and thc City Council has again donated $500. All this moncy and a great.‘ deal more will be {fold out in prizo

mitllflifl" Mr. Davies went on to_ spouk of the dissatisfaction which

existed in some localities ov-er the‘, fact that Directors expend so‘ much moncy annually for horse racing. But there are two depart- mcnts in connection with the As-' sociatiom-the Agricultural portion sad tho Driving Park or Speed por- tion and thoy have nothing what- ovcr to do with each other. The money paid out in purses comes from a separate grant given by the merchants of this city for that purpose, also thoro is a percent- ago retained from the winning horses and the balance is mado up out oi the admission to the grand stand. The Association therefore feels justiflod this year in oiiering the large sum di $6.000 especially’ as the merchants of the city have bald 02.000; as it will enable us to see the largest lleld of trotters ev- er oxhtbited on the Island. lt is doubtful if there has ever been I llrser meet in the Maritime Pro- vinces. There will be ms days‘ rwtns. participated in by so differ- ent horses from Canada and the United States, competing in twelve different classes. This year a great deal oi HM"! has, been ex- pended on the main building and l! "will: new stables and other imvwwsnll. qli o: was» mum‘

The "Ca-ppy Ricks" appeared in the Saturday Evening Post for quite o. period and the author Peter B. Kyne knew his type for he spent his spare time for sever- al years along the San Francisco water flmnt. virtually living with trho characters he later weaved in- ,to the stories.

The central figure is Aldon P- Rlcke known to his friends as "Ctrp-py". Ho its an old sea captain with a keen sense of humor and a habit of always insisting on hav- ing his own way whether right or wrong. He's a weather beaten Old sea dog devoted to his daughter and underneath the rouBlI 91m"

When the ship gets back from the voyage Cappy finds Matt in command of it after having beaten the surly Captain.
