MEETING OF
ELECTION OF
ANNUAL
Tue annua! general meeting of the Char-
lettetown Driving Park and Previncial Ex-
hibition Association was held in the Phil-
harmonic Hall last evening. There was 4 large attendance of shareholders. ‘ The President, Benj. Rogers, Esq,
callod the meeting to order at eight o'clock, and the Secretary, A. B. Warburton, Esq , read the anuual report.
The report showed that the Exhibition had been a success. Owing to the large ex- peaditure incurred in erecting the exhibi- tion and other buildings, the Directors deemed it advisable to apply all their profits to meeting the over-« xpendi- dividends are, in sequence, declared. The exhibition and race veceipts amounted to $4,658 93. This net inelude the Government

They are always su new lines.
May not that be overdone !
Not yet. It is often our interest to take up these new lines. It is very much a matter ol politics granting new charters.
Here are two great systems-—the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific -fully devel oped, and if left alone to grow, there would soun be pleuaty of trathe tor both of them; but if this peliey of building aud paralleling everything is to continue, no Canadian rail way can ever hope to pay ¥e li?
Well, you see, they have pretty well dupli- cated everything we have got now. Dut | most of the new schemes are for branch lines. Ihere are schemes in all directions for them.
But the tendency is always to over-build, is it not?
Well I cannot call that over-building ; when the Canadian Pacific built a line par- allel to ours, that was over building if you like. I do not call it over-buildiag, however, where you have new territories to develop. W here you are going through a new piece of country there you are benefiiing the country and developing its resources. You must, therefore distinguish between lines made for the purpose of competing with existing lines, and those built for the honest purpose. of opening up country.
The Grand Truck would always be pre- pared to build its own feeders, 1 suppose ?
Well, it would rather somebody else do it, and get subsidies for them.
You do not regard that as against your interest ?
On the contrary, the more the country is developed the better for us. We are very happy to take these companies up and develop them. Weare glad to see them.
Then, altogether, you have brought back very good impressions from your last visit ?
Very good, except in the matter of rates; railway profits are always a question of rates. The cutting that exists is consequent upon the Canadian Pacific having got to Detrois. That company immediately made contracts with the dressed beef butchers for a minimum of 20 cents and a maximuin of 45cents; formerly we used to get 60 and 65 cents. It was upon that that Lake Shore knocked the rates down.
ls there any other special point about Can- ala worth mentioning ?
No; the country is developing and always improving.
I suppose the National Pelicy is still decid- ediy in the ascendant?
Oh, yes, Sir John Macdonal-l is firm in the saddle.

Sad Drowning Accident. PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF CHARLES M's DONALD, OF GEORGETOWN, WHO WAS WASHED OVERBOARD AT SEA ON THE STH MAY LAST.
A few days ago, a letter was received from Andrew Coldweil, Captain of the bark Hamburg, by Mr. Lemuel McDonald brother of the deceased, which gives details of the drowning accident, of which our readers have already been advised. The deceased was also a brother of Conducter@ohn Mc- Dona'd, of the P. E. Island Railway, and well-known in nautical circles. The Ham- burg left New York in February for Yuko- hama, Japan. The Captain writes :
‘*As to the details of your brother's death, it seems as if it was ordered so to be. On the day of the accident it was blowing a heavy gale, and had been for two days. 1 was on deck all the night before. I told him at noon, while at dioner, that I was going tu have a lay down, and asked him to stay about the wheel and watch the steering. Well, he stayed aft until between two and three o'clock. He then left the poop and went on the main deck, and call- ed one of the seamen and told him to go on the top of the forward house and get a piece of rope. He wanted to put another lashing on a spar that was there, and while he stood waiting for the man to come back, a very heavy sea came and swept the poor fellow overboard. Had your brother been standing any place else the sea would not have taken him over. I do not think that he ever got his head above water, as he had on & heavy cil coat and long-legged rubber boots. It was impossible to save him in such weather. ‘The vessel was going very fast, and in a very few minutes he was a long distance astern. | often think of his mother and the rest of his relatives on P. E. Is- land. It is hard for us to understand why such things are. When exposed to the dangers of the ccean, there is nv knowing the moment we are carried into eterni'y.”
Major Barttelot’s brother writes to the London Times that Stanley, instead of meeting the charge that he was responsible for the disasters which befell the rear guard, shifts ground to make horrible charges against the officers, Nobody whe knew the major weuld believe the charges against him. He says the facility for pro- ducing difficulty in the way of those dis- preving such charges against the dead must be remembered. Mujor Bartte'ot’s father, addressing the electors of West Sussex Tuesday, declared that had his son and Jameson been stil! alive the charges againat them wonld never have been made. He

they deemed the money well spent and recommend that the same course be pur- sued in the future. The sum «f $1050 was awarded fcr prizes at the races. The
expenses in connection with the Exhibi- ti -r,were neceasarily very larg*>,— onsider- ably over $2,000. The net protits on the year’s business would amount to about the same sum, which amount was aboorbed by
The sharebo'ders did not expect to pay a dividend, as the undertaking was entered into more for the public benefit than that of the subscribers.
After the adoption of the report, the meeting proceeded to the election of direc- tors for the ensuing year. When the bal- lots were counted, it was found that Messrs. Rogers. Blake, Gardiner, Fitzzerald, Fer- guson, F. L. Haszard and William Brown had received a majority of the votes; and they, therefore, constiiute the board of directors for the next twelve months.
After some discussion and the transac- tion of some other business, the meeting adjourned.

An Auspicious Event. A gentleman writing to Toe EXaMINner on the 13th inst., remarks :—-
| «It may be of interest to your Montague | correspondent of the llth to know that the ‘accident which happened to one of their en- | terprising citizens did not in any way * inter- | ferefwith tle ne otiations pending towards 4 | natrimonial alliance.” One of the pleasantest 'occasions that could possibly take place was ithe marriage «f George A, Thomps-n, of Mon- | tague, and Frances Anna Townshend on the fevening of the 12th inst., when, in the pre- | sence of a large party of invited guests, they | were joined in holy matrimony. Mr. Thomp- | son is one of our most enterprising young men, | proving to others the faet that to succeed in | the things of this world it is not necessary to go to the * Far West,” bat by pluck, energy ‘and caytion a man may be snecessful any- where; and as he is new joined in wedlock to
‘augur for him a still greater deg ee of pros- perity.”
.We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson our most hearty congratulations, and hope
; that peace, happiness and prospertty may
follow them throughout the journey of life. LS A 2
News Notes.
The Duke of Fife has sent General , Booth one bundred pounds and a letter ex ‘pressing sympathy with his scheme. | The United States Government esti- mates that the United States will have 116,000,000 bushels of wheat this year for | export, | The London Lancet is of the opinioa that the world is on the verge of a re- volution in therapeutics, and that the sci- ence of bicteriol gy will soon be {laced on a practical basis by the experiments which Professor Koch is now aiaking in Berlin, The Prince of Wales has written to Gen-
(that he has read his book, ‘tin Darkest ' England and the Way Out,” with deep in- terest, approving of his plan of reformation and promising to subscribe to the fund.
The richest man in the world, if he lives to inherit his patrimony, will be the young Viscount Belgrave,grandson of the Duke of Westminster. By the time he attains his majority it is estimated that his income will be between $10,000 and $20,000 a day.
It is reported that the Duchess of Marl- borough, who is now in America, has been sued for debts contracted in England, and that judgments have been obtained against her, and that three of these judgments, ag- gregating nearly $700,000, are filed in the New York County Clerk’s cffice awaiting satisfaction.
A precocious little rascal was noticed on Jefferson avenue, in Detroit, the other day making his best endeavor to ring a door bell just beyond his reach. A well-known minister happened along, and with the impulses of a good Samaritan, wanted to help the bey. ‘* Like to ring tht bell, sunny ?” ‘Yes, sir; but I can’t reach it.” The divine stepped to the veranda and gave i the bell a vigorous pull as he patted the ia- teresting juvenile on the head. ‘*Now run like the devil,” shouted the boy as he shot down the street at top speed. All the man could do was to laugh at this deplorable bit of worldliness and :nake explanation when the call was answered.
