The Uxhibition season. Opening At King’s County.

A Very Fair Exhibit.

Addresses by the * ieutenant Governor and United States Censul,

A LEADING feature of the King’s County Exhibition was the great crowd. That, one of the speakers remarked, was ‘‘the best part of the show.” It certainly was pleas- ing in the extreme to see such an immense gathering of healthy, well-dressed, well- conditioned people, showing in the most unmistakable way,proofs of abounding pros- perity.

His Honor the Lieutenant Governor arrived from Charlottetown by special train shortly after eleven o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Macdonald, Brigade-Major Irving, A.

D. C., Mr. A®aeas McDonald, Private Soeretary, Mr. Keim, Consul in this

Province for the United States, His Wor- ship the Mayor and Mrs Beer, Hon. David Laird, Rev. Father McDonnell, John A. McDonnell, Esq., and Mrs, Me- Donnell, A. McNeill, Esq., Agent for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London, A. Lord, Evq., Agen for the Marine and Fisheries Department, William Mutch, Eaq., of Hopeton, George Tweedy, Esq., Douald McKenzie, Esq., Councillor Horne, and others, Ona the grounds, were many of the representative men of King’s County, including A.C McDonald, Esq, M. P., Hon. D. Gordon, Hon. A. J. McDonald, Hon John Goff, Charles M:Eschern, M. L. C., Thomas Annear. M. L. C., Dr. Mattart, J. © Uaderhay. William Poole, James M. Aitken, A. J. McInnis, John P. Salivan, Rev. William Phelan, Very Rev. D Me- Dona'd. and many others.

The Exhibition was opened at about 12 o'clock, by the Lieut.-Governor, who de- livered an address as follows :

LIEUT -GOVERNOR MACDONALD'S ADDRESS,

When I reevived an invitation from your Secretary to be present at the opening of the King’s County Exhibition, | aecepted it with extreme pleasure, for it accorded with my own desire to witness (as I have always done) the aunval dieplay of the productions of my native county, it enabled me to meet once avain many of the old and cherished friends and acquaintances with whom | was so intima’ely asacciated during the greater part of my life, in whose happiness and welfare I still have an abiding in‘erest, and in whose annual exhibits here displayed, I always tind ahundant evidence of thir steady advancement and increasing pros- peri y-

Frem what | have already witnessed of the display on the grounds, I have every reason to congratulate you, Mr. Chairman, your brother Commissioners and your Secretary on the assured success of this exhibition. [+ is evident that you have not neglec'ed your duties, and the result shows that the farmers and artisaus have nobly responded to your call, for | see

REPRESENTATIVES HERE FRM SECTION

of the County proving the general interest now taken in these exhibitions, which are really schools wherein both visitors and ex- hibit»rs can learo many useful Iggsons. Even those who miss the priz> expected for the articie display-d may still be gainers if they learn wherein others have surpassed them, and determine to improve upon the lesson before another year bas passed away. But even before then a opportunity will be afforded in a large’ tield befora the civilized wor'd, to display the -productions of the Province at the COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBSITI>N,

to be held in London in Myay next. We have, in years gone by, met our brother colonists in the other provinces on their own grounds, and in almost every class in which we have competed, have carried off valuable prizes. We have also competed with our American cousirs in the bordering United S:ates, and there, too, obtained aa honorable place, and having accomplished all this it is all the more desirable that we should now use every effort to make a good display in London, and while swelling the grand aggregate of Dominion exhibits and assisting iu holding for Canada the place accorded to her as the Premier colony of the British Empire, we shall secure still greater honor for ourselves and our Island Province. Thatavery great interest is taken in that Exhibition by the people of Great Britain is shown by numbers of nob'emen and gentlemen who have subscrib- ed £150,000 stg. towards a guarantee fund, alth ugh no British goods or Foreign pro- ductions will be allowed there. The Domin- ion of Canada has also been allotted 54,000 square feet of space in the finest portion of the Exhibition, whereas, in 1851, she had only 3.800, and in 1862, 4 500 -quare feet, allotted for her display. Tais shows that there is in Great Britain the strongest desire to obtain every possible information regarding this country, its resources avd capabilities, and we must do our part to bring ovr country into notice when such a favorable opportunity is afforded us. Pro- vidence has this year blessed us with

ONE OF THE FINEST SEASONS

ever known, and a bountiful harvest has crowned the labors of the husbandman, who should, therefore, be well able to send good specimens of his productions. But it is not alone to the crops we raise that our exhibits should be confined ; we shonld send specimens of our beautiful antumn leaves and ferns, our naturel wild flowers and indigenous trees and plants, as weil as of all menufactured articles and farming implements and utensils, factory, and home-made cioih and blankets, and tho

EVERY

or ad gra :

wool from = whieh they are made, linen, and the flix in the different stax:s it has to pass through Nor

should we omit specimens of that valu able fertilizer, mussel mud, for which, it is ble, some new or unexpected us» mey found, for there is no saying what new avenues of trade may be opened, or what unexpected demands may be created by bringing our wares prominentiy to the notice of the millions who will inspect them with interest and curiosity when displayed

in the greatest emporium oO of commer world has ever seen, a

PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTIONS

are now low, as there has been a good eleewhere. While our staple exports =

sist principally of such bulky articles as potatoes and oats, on which the freight to distant markets is nearly equal to the original cost, we cannot expect, even with moderately fair pric's abroad, to make farming a very profitable business. I+ is a prime necessity to disjoss of our surplus productions in that form, wherein the value will bear a higher proportion to the cost of transport than it does at present, and it is a@ very important question for farmers to consider how that best cin be done. It is the generally accepted oj inion that this can be accomplished only by feeding the crop to ony stock and exporting the beef, pork, mutton, lamb and poultry which we raise. A double advantage will thus be secured, the value of our exports will be increased, the cost of transport will be largely reduced, and we will retain on our farms the manure to fertilize the land. There is now, as you are aware,

A REGULAR LINE OF STEAMERS

subsidized by the Dominion Government, connecting Charlottetown directly with London. These boats have, this year, taken away a large portion of cur exports, principally canned gooda, sheep, etc., but it is expected that in another year they will be fitted up with refrigerating compartments wherein they can carry even in the hottest season fresh meats and de- liver them in London as sound and fresh as they were when taken on beard here. In that evant you may expect to find an in- creased demand and good prices for these articles, and I should recommend our agriculturists to prepare to supply the de- mand that will be sure to arise. Our butter and cheese are now articles with an established reputation which we should strive to maintain and improve, for it ia the interest of every individual to raise the standard of those exports for which there is an unlimited demand, and thus will our Island become in reality what it is already in name—the garden Province of the Gulf.

GEORGETOWN,

with its spacicus open squares in the centre of the town and surrounding the Railway Scation, has exceptionally good facilities as a site for the County Exhibition—facilities not possessed in an equal degree by many other capitals. A few of our native maples or beeches could very advantageously be planted along the dividing roads, and add greatly toths beauty and comfort of the place. The Exhibition held here last year was decid. dly the finest display that ever tock plac» in the County, and was one of the best local exhibitions I have witnessed in the Provinee, From what | have already seen of this one, | trust that if wil not only equal that but surpass it, and [ now declare this Exhibition open to the public.

At tlie conclusion of the address, His Honor was heartily cheered, and three cheers were also given for the United States Conscl.

Mr. Keim, in response, expressed the great pleasure he felt at being present. A great part of his lifs had, he said, been spent among farmers, aud he felt very much at home among them. The Govern- ment of the United States had, he felt sure, a proper appreciation of the great value of farming interests; and if they knew that he was in attendance upon an occasion like this, they would say ‘‘ All right.” Mr. Keim complimented Lieut. Governor Mac- donald upon the address he delivered,

and said that the ideas His Howor had expressed were well worthy of the attentive consideration of far- mers throughout the country. Major

Irving had called his attention to the country dances in progress on the grounds. They were quite familiar to him; and in- deedin mingling with the people of Prince Edward Island; he felt very much at home —very much at home indeed. This is, he said, a beautifal part of the world; and it only requires the eff rts of prudent and in- dustrious farmers to make it eminently heppy and prosperous. (Applause. )

THE EXHIBITS.

The exhibits were not very large, but most of them were very choice. There was a fair show of horses and cattle, and the results of improved breeding wera evident. In horses, there was too great a preponder- ance of carriage stock—not enough of draft. The sheep were not up tothe mark, and the some remark might be made about pigs and poultry. But in grain, roots and vegetables, there were some of the finest specimens we have seen. butter and cheese was small, though some of the samples were very choice, The fruit on exhibition was excellent. Among the specimens of handicraftmanship tte car- riages exhibited by Mr. John McLean, of Montague, were pre-eminent; and Mr. Donald McKinnon, of Brooklyn, showed some first-class specimens of his workman- ship. Mr. Weatherbie exhibiled an in- genious improvement of the grain and straw shaker, and Mr. Alexander McKenzie, of Murray River, showed a highly finished hammer, superior to anything of the kind imported by our hardware merchants. Tae names of the leading exhibitors, and those most worthy of credit, will be found in the
