MIDSUMMER EXAMINATION,

Tue annual examination of the Model School, previous to the holidays, was held Lo-cday. Professor Anderson, Rev e ai R. Frame and Edward Rex he, Ksq., Provin cial Librarian, assisted in the exercises. Mr. McSwain has shad, luring the past year, a class of thirty boys ind girls, and Miss Scott about forty-tive healthy, bright, intelligent, well-behaved children Phe questions asked by the ex- uniners were promptly and satisfactorily wuswered, showing that instruction had been carefully imparted and attentively re ceived After the examination the school was massed in the largest room, and a pleasing entertainment was given ac cording

The children were then addressef by Professor Anderson, Rev. W. R. Frame and Edward Roche, Esy., all of whom spoke of the sehool in terms which must have been gratifying to all connected with it.. Ma, Frame called attention to the want of

window blinds for the school as evidenced by the fact that some ff the windows were fcovered by old unmounted maps. This want will, no

doubt, be supplied during the holidays, PI g )

i < ee— Inter-Provincial Rifie Match. SOLICITING SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR A TROPHY-— TIME FOR THE CONTEST.

(St. John Telegraph )

When the council of the New Brunswick Rifle Association were in session last year it was decided to make an appeal to those persons in the province who ate the well wishers of the rifle association for subscrip- tions to purchase a trophy for the inter- provincial match. P. E. Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are the provin- ces int@ested. The inaugural match was held last year, when the two latter provin- cea, only, sent in representative teams of eight men each. That event was, without juestion, one of the most noteworthy in the maritime provinces, and, among rifie- men, excited the same degree of interest that boat racing contests between the two provinces had in days gone by. To the

credit of the home team they won. As the match was fired in this province, it becomes the turn of P. KE. Island

this year. Under the conditions, the three associations are equally to contri- bute to the purchase of a trophy of about $500 in value. The time fixed is the middle of July, but Prince Edward Island now comes forward with a desire to bring iton a month earlier. To this the Nova Scotia association does not respond readily, for the reason that the only manner it has if choosing the team, by competition, can- not be done in time for firing in June. rhe reason advanced by the marksmen in the ‘* Garden of the Gulf” is that a date in July wouid seriously interfere with them, owing to the leading shots being absent in Wimbledon. In this respect New Brunswick would fare equally as bad as Prince Edward Island ; two of the team already selected would be debarred from participation, but the executive feel that, under the circumstances, it would not do well to-change existing arrangements. Six of the eight men had been chosen, leaving

Dominion Parliament.

An exchange, commenting upon Mr. Blake's objection to the motion that the House of Commons adjourn for a few hours to take part in the demonstration at Ottawa in honor of the Governor-General, says :

‘*Mr. Blake's object was clear and unmis- takable. He evidently believes that the great majority of the Lrish Roman Catholics are opposed to any special honors being paid to His Excellency by the public and the people's representatives. No, seeing a prospect of political advantage, Mr, Blake ignored the arrangement which had been made by the whips of the parties, and, with all the prac- tised cunning of the Chancery lawyer, thrust himself forward as the one man who objected to the honoring of Lord Lansdowne by Par- liament. The dodge is thoroughly contempti- ble, but it is characteristic of Mr. Blake. Happily it isso transparent that everybody can see through it. Had the Grit leader been sincere he would have prevented, by the repe- tition of his objection, the adjournmont which finally took place ; but, having accomplished his political object, he no longer insisted on the business of the House being proceeded with. It was avery dirty piece of work, but we very much mistake the Irish character if the people of that nationality can be deceived by such by-play and made tools of by Mr. Blake itt such a manner.

Speaking on the fishery question,in the Senate, Hon. Mr. Haythorn said that the question of appointing’ fishery police should engage the attention of the Govern- ment as the destruction of fish was doing great injury to fishing grounds. The Am- erican people, notwithstanding their intel- ligence, their energy and their wealth of recources, were a difficult people to nego- tiate with. Frequently in cases of difh- culty between the American and English Governments the matter had been settled by the ministers, but when the settlement was presented to the United States Senate, everything had tbe done over again. Not{ withstanding the promise of the President in 1885, he found it impossible to get Con- gress to consent to appuint a joint commis- sion to enguire into the fishery dispute. This showed the difficulty of negotiating witlt Americans. If they were to have a tishery treaty, it should be seen to that the rights of Canada were respected under it, or they might as well have no treaty at all. (Hear, hear.) He complimented the Government on their action up. to the present on the question, and concluded : ‘ Having made a good case on paper, I hope they will fellow it up and not abandon it in (Applause. )

practice.’ © A correspondent commenti on a recent debate says:

1S

‘It was between one and two o'clock in the morning now, and the house was not anxious to hear much more talking, consequently the rising of Mr. Davies caused an exodus to the corridors and the restaurant. The members who remained, being too sleepy to write let- ters, and not sufficiently interested in Mr. Davies’ views to listen, organized little local entertainments in various parts of the cham- ber. There was some squeaking of desks, and occasional outbursts of song. Dreary passages were enlivened by occasional shouts of ‘Shear, hear,” ‘‘louder,” ‘‘la Francais,” “question.” Mr. Davies isas ort of roarer, but he has never been known to add an idea or argument to.a debate., He usually waits until several members. have spoken and then repeats their words in a louder tone of voice and with a double measure of indignation. To do justice to Mr. Mills, it should be said that he has keener eve for new points than any other member of his party. They are apt to be technical points, and are likely to be rather wearisomely eluci- dated by Mr. Mills, Subsequently they are served up with further reflections by a num- ber of clamorous folk, until eventually cometh Davies, who rehearses all that is said with vehemence and fire and wondrous noise, and with the air of aman whohas made a dis- covery. Davies is not arising man. He is distinctly a subsiding mam, so far as his par- liamentary standing goes; and this is because heis doing no work here that counts for any- thing. He is trying to make a reputation outof the intellect and out of the labor of other men, and this isa thing that cannot be done in a house which, whatever its short- comings, is accurate in taking the measure of a representative. Davies shouted a good deal over the unanimity of the Manitoba peo- ple in demanding their rights. He took upon himself to charge the Manitoba members to \ vote against disallowance, and informed them that he greatly misunderstood the reports from that province if the electors there would endorse any contrary action. To the average mind it seemed rather cheeky fora Prince Edward Island member who had never been further west than Lake Superior, to be in- structing a Manitoba member as to the feel ings of the latter’s constituents.”

Lost in the Fog.

Mr. Donald N. Steel, fisherman at Pan- mure, started for his lobster traps at five o'clock on Wednesday morning (June 1) when a dense fog set in. Having no com- pass in his boat he steered what he thought was the course forshore. After sailing about all day and night he arrived next morning about five o'clock at Mr. Charles Hanson’s, Burn Point, thoroughly exhausted and be- numbed-with cold. He was cared for in Mr. Hapson’s, usual style, and after sup- plying the want of the inner man started for his-trips determined not to leave shore the next time there was any fog.
