THE BIG FAIR

The big Provincial Fair is now well under way, and this afternoon, which is a, half-holiday for many

of our , the attendance pro-

mises to be one of the largest ~in _Exhibition history. Yesterday the attendance was large for an opening

day and the horse races and thril-

ling vaudeville acts, as Well as the

fine exhibits in the various classes of farm products, livestock, handi- craft, etc., caused much favorable comment. So, too, did the splendid evening programme. The new light- ing system installed for the arena and vaudeville platform proved a big improvement, enabling the horse show and entertainment features to be seen very effectively. The gor- geous fireworks display at the close oi the evening programme eclipsed expectations, and thrilled young and old alike. i The attractive appearance oi all the exhibition buildings and equip- rnent-spick and span in fresh coats. oi paint and whitewash-was very favorably commented upon by visitors to the Fair yesterday. The Association has indeed spared neither pains nor expense to make this year's show an outstanding suc- cess, as all concerned hope and con- fidently expect it will prove to be.

THE BRITISH WAY

Just now, with Mussolini rattling the sabre and uttering dire innuen- docs against Great Britain for ven- turing to interfere in the Ethiopian question, it is timely to recall a poem by the late sir William Wat- son. The poem, entitled “Hate: to Certain Foreign Detrsctors." sums up nicely the British attitude.

Notes By The Way

That Italy and Ethiopia will be at war before many moons is now almost a certainty. This news has attracted the attention of many who seek adventure and it ls claimed that many from Canada will take part in this conflict.

"the time is ncw ripe" for a strong forward movement. Production oi hogs and eggs especially should be raised, he asserts, and attention should also be given the dairyihg industry.

He may “reason- ably assume," he says, that dairy- ing will be looked after in any event. "This year," he declares, "the market for essa and hogs is decidedly stronger, and for butter somewhat stronger than for several years. Business men are pretty well agreed that we are on the road to financial recovery. No one can guarantee the future, butsigns point to at least a maintenance oi present prices with reasonable prospect of further advancm."

The letter. it will be noted, is dated from Ob- servation Cove (Holland Cove) where on Friday. Auz- 28. at 4 p-m-. a cairn to the memory of Captain Holland will be unveiled:

Observation Cove, Near Port Joy 4 March, 1765 Dear sir.

Since the last letter I had the honour to transmit to you all our communication with the Continent has been entirely cut oiI. the prep- arations we are obliged to make for our winter quarters employ u much of our attention in the Fall of the year. and it was not till the 8th of December that ,we could enter the House I built under the great in- conveniences of wanting many ma- terlals and being xposed to the bad weather which commenced near

a month before we were able to fin- ish it, upon the whole it has been more comfortable than I could have expected, in a good measure owing to some stoves I provided at Que- bec and the great plenty oif firewood near us. The cold here has been as intense as in any part of Amer- ica I have seen though with sud- den intervals of rain, and soft wea- ther. This circumstance must make it evident to you that the climate is not so agreeable as that of Can- ada, the air there, though extreme- ly sharp. being generally clear and serene after the winter is well set in andthe fails oi snow over. In this place the snows are frequent. attended with thick weather which makes astronomical observations very diflicult. At other times when it has been clear it has been at the same time so severe as to oblige us often to quit the teiliscopes, to pre- vent the ill consequences of being struck by the frost. The journal I send you with this will more clearly show you the nature of the climate.

Agreeab‘e to the intention I for- merly wrote to you on the 15th of February we sot out upon the sur- vey in four parties (it not being practable sooner). Lieut. Robinson being with me we finished the North East River, with all its branches. I myself surveyed the carrying place to Savage Bay, and St. Peters on the north side of the Island int the last mentioned place. I detach- ed Mr. Robinson to survey towards the Bay of Fortune eastward and from thence to proceed to the Three

Rivers. since which time he has re- turned by water, though not with- out difficulty, being in distance about twenty leagues and the great- est part of the way covered with ice. He has finished the carrying

Pringle, have finished the Harbour of St. Peters, the sea coast and harbours of Savages, Tmcadie. Great and Little Rscico as well as the carrying place from Tracadie into the North East River. I was in hopes to have continued my work to Malpack but the rainy weather bclilllnlng rendered the ice unsafe to depend upon so that the scar- city of provisions, and the imprac- tibility of getting an additional sup- ply should the rivers break sud- denly determined me to return for our habitation the 17th of March. I presume I need not represent to you the difliculty which attendsour going from place to place, having no other conveniences than sledzes. drawn by dogs.
