esteemed jinior member of | Vernon River Bridge, led to the altar cne of King’s County's fairest daughters, in the person of Misa Ada, daughter of thie late Pierce Gaul, Esq., of Montague, and niece of Jadge Reddin, Charlottetown. The church was handsomely decorated with white flowers; the unique and eachanting waves of wreaths and the stately sym- phony ofthe grand old wedding march, so exquisite’'y executed by Miss — Flor. rie Mc! 'onald, vied with one another in emulating the esplen- splendour of the occasion. The ceremony was performed by the esteemed pastor, Rev. Stephen Phalen. The bride, who was given away with appropriate dignity by A. C. McDonald, Esq., M. P., was attired in a superb and exceedingly becoming cos- tume of blue, beautifully blending with its bordering of gold. The bride also carried a smiling bonquet of beautiful white flow- ers. The bridesmaid, Miss Barbara Me- Dowal!, dressed in elegaut and suitable attire, was in perfect harmony with the magnificent surroundings. The groom was ab'v suppo't d by John McGill vary, Esq., of Vernon River. During the ceremony tLe church was crowded with friends of the bride and groom to bid farewell to Miss Ada, and extend congratulations to Mrs. McDonald.
After the marriage ceremony the bridal party repaired to the parochial residence for breakfast, where everything befitting euch an occasion was tastefully prepared, and the happy moments glided by like sunbeams dancing at early dawn. In the afternoon, fullowed by the customary showers of rice and the good wi-hes of the host of friends present, the happy party departed for Vernon River Bridge, where they were entertained in the most appro- propriate style at the re-idevce of D. Mc Donald, Esq., brother of the groom, where & sumptuous and artistic dinner was ten- dered by the hostess, Mrs. D. McDonald. The bride was the recipient of many beau- tiful and costly presents.

MERTINGS IN QUEEN’S EAST.
One of the largest meetings ever held at Moneghan Road took place last evening, and was addressed by the Hon. D. Fergu- son at great length, amidst the greatest
eathusiasm. Referring to the can paign lies of the grit purty, to the <cffect that Conservative candi- dates were not yursuing 8 straght
canvass on the School Question he auoted the Patriot’s report of the Grandview meeting, which was held in a strongly Prote-t<nt district. Yet Mr. Martin i- reporie ! as coming out flat-footed in favor of the Government's policy. Tue meetiag broke up at 12 o’clock with cheers fur the Queen, Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Mastin.
A large meeting of electors was held in Mount Herbert Hall, Lot 43, last night, which was addreseed by Mesers: A. Martin aud Peter McCourt in the Liberal-Conser- vative interest, and Wm. We'sh and Hin. D. Farquharson on behalr of the grit party. S. Farquharson, Esq., occupied the charr to the satisfaction of all; and no persoa could desire more respectful treatment from an audience thaa was accorded the d fferent speakers.
Mr. Martin made excellent uce of the hour voted (o each of the candidates, by showing up the wobbling of the leaders ot the grit party on every public question. He also presented the case of the Libera!- Conservative party On the trade q: eition in a clear and forcible style, and spoke on the school question in the same terms as he spoke atall the meetings, which was in striking contrast with the trimming practiced by his opponent. Tue audience appeared to be in thorough accord with Mr. Martin’s views, and repeated!y applaud ed his statements.
Mr. Welsh again forgot that he was not in the House for five years after the charter was granted tothe Chignecto Kailway, aud claimed to have voted against it. He condemed subsidizing steamsbips, denoun- ced extravagance (evidently forgetting that Mr. Farquharson waa there to speak for hin) praised Laurier, read the Patriot’s telegram re Dr. Montague, and coatended fo- a grant from Ottawa for the local Gov- ernment.
Mr. P. McCourt expressed a preference for public works, inasmuch as the debt of Sve hundred thousand dollars incurred by the Peters Government would swallow up such a grant and ieaveus without either the branch railways or the money. The antagonismof the Grit leaders to steam- ship subsidies was next referred to, and their inconsistency exposed. While boast. ing of England’s extension of commerce, theee leaders were condemning the system of subsidizing steamships by means ot which England had swept the commerce of nearly every other nation from the seas. He urged the electors to grasp the chance of securing the railway. which would b: the foreranner of abridge on the Hills- borough and relieve them of the ferry burdeo. Several other points in Mr. Welsh’s speech were dealt with in convin- cing style, ani worm applause greeted the speakes on resuming his seat.
Hon. D. Farqubarson followed on the tariff. He sang the old song until his reason plunged him into @ regular tangle. Arguing againat a ae tariff, he cited a case wherein he had to pay the duty on two horses he sold to Cuba, which has a protective tariff, and another in which he had to pay the duty on seme rope he bought in Boston,
Mr. Kennejy, a very clear-headed elector, asked Mr. F. to exp!ain why the
Aumdaneancanndannde

| pale did not work both ways. If the Cuban buyer did not pay- the tax, why should he
ay it. Mr. Farquharson labored, shirked and was about Lo sit down without explaining, bat was pressed, and got out of 1 by say~ ling it was because both countries had protection. j '" The meéting closed with a vote of ! . ‘thanks to the chairman and che2rs for the c andidatee. | The campaign meetirg Led ct Avon- dale on Wednesday cv ning was largely
for the assistance of w Tory friend he would certainly be still at sea.”
In reference to the trade quertion he manifested a great deal of difficulty in selecting a policy to suit the people of Avondale from among the various ones brought forward by the Liberal party for the last eighteen years, but finally decided the best one for them was that of 1873, which, according to Sir Richard, cansed a great depression and lose of $40,000,000 to Canada io a few years.
In speaking of Branch Railways, he wimitted that we are entitled t» the pro- posed branches but he was unable to do anything towards obtaining them, and, if retuned, he promised to work as diligent- ly as he did for the past eight years. Not- withstanding the above assertions, he con- sidered that if the Dominion owes P. E. Island any money it should be paid into the hands of Premier Peters (possibly for election purposes).
Having finished his address, he received very little applause from the people he was born among, lived among, spent his birthdays among, worked among, and ex- pects to die among.
Mr. Martin in coming forward received astorm of applause. tle first corrected the many mitsstatemants made by Mr. Welsh, then briefly reviewed the past history of the two parties, and proceeded to define the policy of the Government regarding the great questions of the day. He first took up tte Manitoba Schoo! Question, and pledged himself to support the Government iu upbolding the consti- ‘ution Ly doing justice to the minority.
In regard to the trade ques:ion, he showed the necessity of protection and the N.P. Ia speaking of the branch railway- he clearly demonstrated that it was firs: trought before the Dominion Government by the Hon. D, Ferguson and other Con- servatives frou P. K. Island, and proved beyend doubt that Messrs. Davies and Welsh did nothing to push forward our claim, whatever they aid against it, for the last eight years, notwithstanding the fact that they pledged themselves to advocate the Belfast. branch at a meeting held at Caledonia in 1890. He also showed that he and the Con-ervative party are in earnest and meap to keep their promises, and if returned on the 23rd inst. the branch railway is an assured fact.
The next speaker was Mr. Carroll. Finding the meeting not in sympathy with his views, be concluded by asking a few thoroughly thrashed-out questions. The “Dromore whip,’ Mr. McGuirk, who came such along distance to hear something new, must have been very much disap- pointed that Mr. Carro!{ did not have an opportunity of fally expressing his valued opinion.
Ata late hourthe mee ing came toa clore with three cheers for Martin aod the Belfast railway.

The shooting for the iater-maritime trophy took place on Kensington Range yesterday, and the home team proved the victors, with New Brunswick second, eleven points behind. Notwith- standing the prevalence of what is known to riflemen as a rear fish-tail wind, some very good tcores were made. From the beginning of the match the keenest iater- est was manifested, and New Brunswick pushed the home team hard, having evi- dently come over determined to win. But “ our boys ” led them by two points at the 200 yards range, held them even at the 500, and again ied at the finish. It was certainly @ red-letter day in the history of rifle shooting in this province.
The Island team was under command of Captain McDougall, and vere never in better form than they were in the contest which was decided yesterday. To him the team largely ascribe their success, and at the close of the contest the gallant captain was most enthusiastically “ bounced.” Lieut.-Co!l. Dogherty made a most effisient range offi-er, and Messrs. Thomas (ivod- will, Clif Richards and Reggie Siewart acted as register-keepers,

In the evening the visiting teams were dined atthe Hotel Davier, where about forty militiamen and civilians thorough'y discussed the good things so bountifully sad tastefully provided by Mrs. Davies. Thechair was well filled by Lieut.-Col. Moore, D. A. G., and Captain McDougal! male a most efficient croupier.
After letters of regret at their unavoid— able absence had been read from His Honor the Lieut.-Geveroor, His Wor-hip the Mayor, Vice-Chancellor Fitzgerald, Cot Irving and others, the usual standard toasis were drank and duly responded to. The toast to the Queen was followed by the singing of the National Aushem; the Governor-Geuera! was r.sponded to by
| Senator Macdonald,and the Lieut.-Governor | by Captain Weeks.
Captains McRob- bie, Smith and Brown responded to the toast of the visiting riflemen; and Messrs. McCready and Nash _ returned thapks for the press. “A long list of vol- unter toasts followed, which included the home team, the citizens who aided the riflemen in the way of prizes, the Deputy Adjutant General, and the Premier of the Province, to all of which fi ting replies were made.
he speeches were interspersed with songs by Major Harty, Lieut. Wheusr, Corpl. Smith and Mr. George J. Rogers; and Captain Crockett recited the Union Jack.
Before the evening's. eutertainment was brought to a close the trophy won by the home team was handed over to Captain McDougall, who appropriately acknow- ledged the same.

Frank Layson, a rich young man trom the Blue Grass, falis in Jove with Ma’ge and arouses the jealousy of| Joe Lovey, a moonshiner, who is deter-| mined to tiod and kill vm Lindsay, the | murderer of his father. Lindsay, who has | becoine wealthy under the name cf as Holton, having failed to bring about the marriage of his daughter Barbara with | Layson, tt empts to make Lorey murder
him by stating that Layson has informed |
the revenue oflicers of Lorey’s illic.t “-tilh.” Failing in this also, he determined to ruin Layson by destroying the latter’s favorite
mare Queen Bess, which is to run on the
morrow inthe great race, the Ashlaal
Oaks. Ifthe race is not won by Queen | Bess, Layson is a ruined mar. Lindsay’s | scheme is foiled by Madge, who rescues | the horse from the burning stable. On
the day of the race the jockey gets drunk,
and Madge, disguised asa jockey from | New York, rides the horse to victory. | Eventaally Frank Layson weds Madge ;' Lem Lindsay, alias Holton, is discovered | and meetsdeath atthe hands of Lorey, | end all ends happily. This brief synopsis} gives Jittle or no idea of the dramatic
strength of the story, nor of its ceeatlee | grace and charm. Asa play, it is admit-} ted t> be the most vivid and truthful por-
trayal of Southern lifs we have had. It
is fall of splendid comedy and +trong bits
of character, and with abundance of con-
trast, plenty of incident, swiftness of
movement and a’ string of novel features
like the now famous pickaninny band and
the horse race, it is no wonder that it has
met with such great success.
SOURIS ITEMS,
The contractors for Souris Breakwater have commenced work, and we are in- formed that they have sub-let the ballast- ing wf the block to Mr. William Koight at sixty cents per cubic yard, and they daily expect vessels with the creosated timber, which is the heaviest part of their con tract. The principal part of the stone is to be three feet square, and none of less size than ha’f a cubic yard.
Mr. James McEachern has been ap pointed inspector. There is no doubt that he is the right man in the right place, and that this work will be done to the let- ter of the epecification and when com- pleted will be of great benefit to the ship- ping interests.
