News Notes.
S crusade has been started in Eng- land against the application of the werd “Esquire” to persons who have
no right to it. Those who started it con- fess that there are occasions when some- thing more than “Mr.” is wanted, and so they recommend the revival of the good old fashioned ‘*Gentleman,”’ which means all who are legitimately entitled to bear arms.
Sir Oliver Mowat has at length found pubh® opinion too strong for him, on one pvint a least. In his infamous gerrymander of th® Ontario constituencies one cf the most flagrant oases was that of Toronto. That city, accord- ing to population, was entitled to seven or eight representatives in the provincial legisla- ture. But, because it was conservative, the Mowat gerrymander bill only gave it three members, and then provided that no elector in Toronto should vote for more than two can- didates, thus meking it possible for the grits, who comprise about one-third the population, to elect ope man of the three. The net result was to practically disfranchise the city of Toronto which embraces about one-tenth the
opulatioa of the whole province ! For seven years the Mowat government has atood by this scandalous arrangement, and has systematic; ally voted down all attempts to amend it. But last Wednesday, after a powerful speech from Mr. Clarke, one of the members from the city, who closed by moving @ vote of censure, Sir Oliver gave way and promised amendment. He promised to give Toronto larger represent- ation and to do away with the ‘‘one-man-two thirds-of-a-vote” iniquity, which he confeseed was pot exactly an ‘“‘evidence of Uhristisn- ity.”

It will probably be of interest to the breeders of P. E. Island to know that an ‘trangement has been made by the managers of the Dominion Horse Directory of Toronto to publish a catalogue for distri- | bution at the Chicago Exhibition of horses | for sale in Canada. ._ ws gers, has obtained from the! Dominion Government a grant to enable | the Directory to have the catalogues pub- | lished as pirliamentary matter, and they will be distributed free of cost to intending purchasers in Canada, United States, and ig all European nations.
Persons having horses for sale are re- quested to send their P. O. address and tull description of their annuals to Mr. Rogers, 17 Toronto Sc., Teronto, Ont., and in that w.y they will obtain free advertise- ment fir their stock.
Associations interested in horse breeding are also requested to send dates upon which they integd having auction sales of horses, and the numbers and descriptions of horses that wil] be offered.
_ This should be an excellent opportunity for the Breeders’ Association of P. E. Is- land to advance the interests of its mem- bers and extend the market for Island horses.
The death of the Ayrshire bull Chieftain, purchased by the P. E Island Govern- ment last year from the estate of the late Mr. Brown, of Lachine, will necessitate the purchase of another animal to take his place. The writer, when in Montreal] a few days agv, met Mr. James Bowden, who was in charge of Mr. Brown’s stock at the time of the sale. He is now manager of Mr. Reford’s farm at St. Anne de Beile- vue, and has the care of the selected herd that is to represent Canadian Ayrshires at the Chicago Exhibition. The bull at the head cf the herd is Glencoe, one of the animals that was sold at Mr. Brown’s sale for $165, considerably less than was paid for chieftain ; and it was a great loss to this Province that he had not been selected instead. The fact of this bull being chosen as the best Ayrshire in the Domin- ion proves his excellence, and he could not be bought now for three times the money he could have been purchased for at Mr. Brown's sale. Mr. Bowden has a superior young bull calf that he will sell at the reasonable price of $75. This calf is sired by Glencoe, and his dam is the imported Ayrshire cow, Annie of Esbercheskie, one of the most noted Ayrshires in Quebec. Auy further information can be obtained by writing to Mr. Bowden, at St. Anne de Bellevue, P. Q., by anyone wishing to ob- tain a superior animal.
In travelling by the C P. R from Mon- treal to St. John, N. B, a great deal of complaint is heard on account of
the poor condition of the smoking cars for the use of first-class passengers. In fact no separate
compartment is attached to the first-class cars; and those who want the soothing in- fluence of tobacco must go into the smok- ing cars for second-class passengers, where it is anything but comfortable. West of Montreal, better accommodation is provid- ed, and there seems to be no reason why similar comforts should not be given travel- lers to St. John and Halifax. The C. P. R. trains are noted for their comforts and lux- uriousness, and with the exception of the matter referred to, no person could wish for better accommodation. The officers of the C. P. R and I. C. R. are models for efficiency and courtesy, and the kind

Marriages are not uncommon in New York, but there was one celebrated on Wednesday last which seems to have taken the metropolis fairly by storm. For weeks that most democratic American centre has been discussing wi(b vim and intense inter- est the engagement and coming marriage of Miss Bradley-Martin to the Earl of Craven. It was not the lady in the case, however, who created the keenest excitement. She was merely a charming New York girl and the daughter of a wealthy and fashionable family. But ‘“‘the real live Earl” was almost more to the city newspapers and the public than a Presidential election would have been.
Since coming to New York a couple of weeks ago, every move made by young Lord Craven has been watched and chron- icled. ,Columns were written about his clothes, illustrations of which—shirt and collar and cuffs included—filled up much space in the daily papers, while the most extraordinary tales were cold about the victim of this unpleasant publicity. One “reputable” newspaper described him as having been discovered to possess an elab- orate tattoo of the family coat of arms upon his chest, and others noted every occasion upon which he moved out of doors or turn- ed up his trousers to avoid the famous city mud.
But amusing as ail this was, the wedding capped the climax. The leading newspapers devote pages instead of columns to the brilliant event, and indulge ia copious editorials upon the “union ot American democracy snd British aristocracy.” Sev- eral bishops were present and assist- ed in the ceremony, and there were, of course the usual! gay costumes, piled-up flowers and fashionable assemblage. The streets were jammed, to even get a glimpse of the ‘British Earl,” and when we remember th t¢ th: Duke de Veragua was obtaining a reception on the same day from the city offi ials and the pope- lace, we may safely conclude that for once the demceracy of New York, where ‘‘all men were born free and equal,” and where, «f course, they live so, was undeniably happy. It is not often that an American city has a British nobleman and a Spanish duke at the same time to geze upon or to flatter obsequiously. “eer
