THE DAILY EXAMINER,

[ Pp. BE. Island Railway Picnics. Sre;---With your permission I desire to make a few remarks concerning the manner in which railway picmies on the Island have been conducted of late years. Why they receive the term ‘* Railway Picnics” is, I must confess, beyond my comprehension, for it would be just as appropriate to call them (as they are now managed) ** The Olympian Games” or ** The Circus Maxi- mus.” If they advertised under some such name as these the writer would have noth- ing to say either as to their purpose or to the method of conducting them; but as long as these annual gatherings continue to stigmatize the railway service by going under the name of Railway picnics, I, with the great majority of railway men, will look upon them as nothing short of a farce and will advocate their entire abolition, for the reason that there is nothing commend-

cepted.

1R,—Will you kindly allow me space -m

your columiis to reply to a small item which appeared in last week's issue, purport: ing to be a despatch from John Elliot, of London, Ont., and signed by H. T. Lepage, referring to five great Binder trials? In the first place we would say that we have good reasons for denying the truthfulness of the statement, and cannot accept one word of it as being true, unless Mr. Lepage will give us the name and address of the gentlemen on whose farms the trial was, so that any who are interested can write and satisfy them: | selves. If Mr. Lepage wishes to know how the Milwaukee, Junior, compares with the Brantford, he can write the following gentle; men, who tried the Milwaukee and returned them, and are now delighted with the Brant- ford. They are as follows: George Fuller,

able in them, while on the other hand there are many things which have a ten-| dency to bring the service into disrepute. | The idea of those managing these affairs carrying three or four hundred outsiders, irrespective of character or standing, for 25) cents, and at the same time obliging rail-| way men to pay 60 cents for their sons,

while they are designated ‘* Railway Picnics” is, to say the least, wrong, and cuntrary to common sense, something

certainly extraordinary in this connection; but it must be borae in mind that the rail- way men above referred to do not belong to the Mechanical Department, which accounts in « great measure for the dis- crimination.

I must not, however, be understood as being Opposed tv railway picnics when pro- perly conducted; in fact I am rather in favor of such gatherings. My opinion of a railway picnic is that it should be a gather- ing exclusively of railway men and their families, for whom it is possible to attend. | know very well that all railway omployes cannot be present, as some will have to re- main on duty to attend to the interests of the road, but a few will be suflicient to keep things moving safely for one day, and those who remain on this year may attend next. In this way all railway men and their fam- ilies will be given a better opportunity of commingling together and. cultivating a more sociable and brotherly feeling than has been their privilege heretofore. All the amusements and games possible should be provided for these occasions, and good prizes awarded in thedifferent competitions. In short, I would go for having these pic- nics conducted as much as possible on the principle of the Scottish aikechigs ou this Island. Moreover, I would go in for each department in the service being equally represented in the matter of management, etc., and not have them, as now, rum by a few men from the railway workshops at Charlottetown. Each employe attending should pay 25 cents, which amounts should

In reference to the $500 challenge, we would say as soon as Mr. Lepage deposits his money in the Bank in sucha way that he cannot draw it out without winning it fairly,’ and will select a heavy broken down grain, and will select three disinterested farmers to judge their merits, we are ready to meet him ; or, we will go farther, and make it easier for him. It he chooses to name a date and take his Binder to the Stuck Farm, we will give a. Binder exhibition trial, without betting, for the satisfaction of all who feel inclined to | attend. . hd THOMAS.FISSETTE, - *‘ For A. Harris, Son & Co., Brantford, Ont. | Aug. 19, 1889—1i
