PeVIMCIAL EUBITION| A Splendid Display.

Very Unfavorable Weather. A LARGE ATTENDANCE.

THE PRIZE LIST:

NorwirHsTaNDINe the wet and disagree- able weather, the Exhibition was well attended to-day. At noon His Honor Lieutenant Governor Macdonald, accom panied by Mrs. Macdonald and suite, arrived, and His Honor was presented with the following

ADDRESS. To His Honor the Honorable Andre w A, Mace- lonald, 1 tenant Governor of the Province r Ed ard Island May rr puease Your Honor,—The present

seems t

bly, as far

last public occasion for expressing the joy and satisfaction which Her Majesty's subjects have experienced at the arrival of the jubilee

ear of Her reign, therefore we have peculiar pleasure as loyal subjects in now welcoming Your Honor as Her representative.

in a public sense,

one, for we believe

Phis year, too, has been, « bright and bountiful that at no former period has the season been more favorable for the labors of the farmer, or more prosperously so far as the pt xluects of the field and garden are concern ed. We invite all our people to join with Your Henor and with us in now rendering our thanks to Almighty God for His great goodness and blessings in this respect.

lhe past years of Her Majesty’s reign have, in all arts of Her vast Dominions, been marked by wonderful which | has formed the theme during the last few months of many an address presented,

Prince Edward Island has not been left outside in the race, but has also jreaped material prosperity. We can only venture to refer to that branch of it which relates more immediately to the subjects saggested by the present occasion. We tind that in 1837. the

resulted

progress

first year of the reign of Her Ma- jesty, an exhibition was held here in Charlottetown on Wednesday, the 25th day of October, under the patronage of His Excellency Liewtenant Governor Sit Charles Fitzroy. The importance of the

Agricultural industry of the Province was then, as now, appreciated although evidenced in a much more modest form,

Premiums were offered for the best horses, cattle, sheep, ete., but amounted only to £16, Os. Od., or $52 of ovr present money. The number of prizes awarded were on_ that occasion ten (10) only and this for the whole Island. On the present occasion the prizes offered for horses, neat cattle, sheep, ete., and animals generally,are 241 in number instead of 10, and the amount offered equals $935, or eighteen times the amount ip the same class in 1837.

In addition te this also an additional amount of $721 is now offered for poultry and agricultural products and cther articles of in- dustry, making in all $1,656 for prizes at this exhibition, to which must be added the amount of prizes offered for the same purpose in Prince and King’s Counties, which amount to $1,100, making a general total of $2,756, as against $5,200 in 1837.

Again, looking over the Public Returns for proof of increase and advance with the com- mencement of the present Victorian pe-tod, we find that whereas in 1837 our people owned 9,871 horses, they now (taking the census of [S81 as our guide), notwithstanding the large and increasing drain for foreign ex portation, own 31,335. The number of neat cattle held by them has increased from 42,414 to 90,724, and of sheep from 73,642 to 166,496.

The facilities for travel and communication, both internally and externally, have, by the aid of steamers and modern improvements, so greatly increased as to bring our products and our people within easy reach of almost every part of the world. As one evidence of this, we believe there will be found within the walls of this building a large exhibit of the ordinary field products of the various dis- tricts of the great Canadian West, but now brought so near by means of the Cana- dian Pacitic Railway as to contribute largely to the interest of the present occasion.

The unpopular leasehold tenure has passed away, and our prosperous and industrious farmers now nearly all hold the fee%simple of their lands and are, as they ought to be,the owners of the soil, which ‘has been reclaimed from the forest, and brought. into ‘cultivation by the labors of themselves and their honored forefathers.

We thank Your Honor for your attendance. We again welcome you to this exhibition, and now request you to open it.

His Honor replied as follows :—

it gives me great pleasure to comply with your request and to declare this Exhibition open. t

The jubilee year of Her Majesty's reign, which was so loyally celebrated by the people of this Provinee, has brought us still further cause for rejoicing in the beautiful summer we have had, and the bountiful harvest’ which the earth has yielded, so that this has been forus a year of peace and prosperity—a season of joy and happiness. In no part of the Queen's wide Dominiuns is there greater cause for thankfulness than in this Province where we have received so many benefits. I unite with you and with all the people in rendering thanks to Almighty God for these and many other blessings.

The striking contrasts pointed out in your address between the exhibits and prize lists of 1837, as compared with those of the present day, shows the great progress the country has made in that period. We now find the log house and the small stable of the early settler has been replaced by the comfortable frame dwelling house for the family, the large and commodious barn for the crops, the snug outbuildings for the cattle and the numerous farm implements, sleighs and wagons he now possesses. The few farming tools he then required haye been laid aside aad in their places may .be found a namber of costly labor-saving machines which enable him to raise and save acrop such as in his early years of colonial life he never dreamed of possessing. The children are now receiv- ing afree education, such as could only be secured abroad a half century ago at great cost by the sons of the wealthy classes. The country girls who then trudged barefooted to the nearest town with a basket of butter and egys now dressed in the latest fashions, aud driven to market ina stylish sleigh or wagon, while they have a snug balance in the savings bank.

Phe loom and spinning wheel have been dis- carded.for the sewing machine, the parlor organ.

On every hand we are cenfronted with eyually nutuble proofs of the advance of the

THE

people in material prosperity, whereof Prince Edward Island, as you observe, has rea d herfullshare daring the period covered by the reign of Queen Victoria.» The settlement of the land question, which had so long disturbed the Colony, was one great cause of this improvement, | While peo. ple held their lands by an unsatisfactory ten-

ure they spent that time in agitation and discussion of their grievances, which otherwise ~ would have been devoted to the cultivation of the — soil,

But no sooner had that great question been settled, no sooner had they acquired the free- hold of their farms than with renewed vigor they devoted their entire energies to the task of improving their property, and paying off the instalments of the purchase money as they became due, so that the homestead on which they had subdued the forest by their hard labor, on which they had endured toils and suffered privations, such as the young men of this day would not have the courage to face, might descend to their children, and to their children’s children free from encum- brance, and likely to remain in the family for generations,

Ten years ago if any one had told us that productions of the North West would be on exhibition here in this year of grace, he would have been regarded as a visionary, and yet we see it has actually happened, and specimens of the various agricultural products of that distant region are now ranged here beside our own for your inspection. While they shew the magnificent capabilities of that country, we still teel that we may well take pride in the productions of our own little Island. Those exhibite, coming from a Province which, but a few years ago, was the home of the buffalo, and visited only by the Indian, hunter or fur trader, a region a thousand miles beyond the highest point reached by the tidal waters of the broad Atlantic, prove that fields exist there as productive as our own, and we know that they also form part of this wide Dominion; our own country, where scions from many Provincial families have gone to make new homes for themselves where they will be gov erned by the same laws—where the old flag will still float over them, and where they will still be under the sway of our beloved Queen, and bear with them our best wishes for their success.

There is one fact that is annually brought to our attention at every exhibition, but never more forcibly than on the present occasion that is: our Exhibition grounds, sheds and buildings belong to a bye-gone period, and like the log huts of the early settler they should be replaced by buildings and accom- modations suited to the importance fof the interests here represented. The land on which the Exhibitions are now held is the property of the Lieutenant Governor for the time being, and a part of the farm connected with his residence, which he has as much right the use of as he has to Government House itself, while he holds the position of Lieutenant Governor. It is not to be supposed that it can always be given up for exhibitors. Then the accom- modation for stock is entirely too limited and they are now overcrowded so that they can not be seen or examined properly. I hold that the local or County Exhibitions should now be all merged in one grand Provincial Exhibition, that proper grounds should be secured and buildings should bs erected which would be in keeping with the interests here represented. We have this year the produe- tions of the Northwest to which the Secretary could not give half the space they required, and other Provinces may desire to send us similar specimens in another year with a like result. It is our interest and our duty to provide for these eventualities, and to do so without further loss of time.

[I thank you Mr. Chairman, and through you your brother Commissioners and Judges for the time and attention you have bestowed, and are still bestowing upon the duties devolv- ing upon you by your appointments. The success of this exhibition is already assured, owing to your united and untiring efforts and those of your efticient Secretary, and with your permission I now propose that we open it with three cheers for Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

At the conclusion of the reply enthusias- tic cheers were given for Her Majesty the Queen, for His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, Judge Hensley and the Exhibi- tion Commissioners, and Mr, Armstrong who is in charge of the Canadian Pacific Railway exhibit.

The last named gentleman acknowledged the compliment in a neat speech. He re- marked that he had travelled and worked in all the New England Statas and could not fora moment compare them to this country. The Jand there was poor, yet the farmers were doing well. The reason of this was that they had filled up their west and were united. Our people, he thought, had far better sea facilities for. getting on well than had the people of the New Eng- land States. All that is wanted is a muil- lion people for the Northwest. Geogra- phically we are bound up with the North- west, and he could not see why we should not be united. He closed by referring in scathing language to those unpatriotic Grit newspaper editors and politicians who ad- vocate annexation with the United States and never miss an opportunity of slander- ing their own country.

A goodly number of prominent citizens were present and much interest was taken in the proceedings.

The exhibits in the DrillShed are arrang- ed with even more than the usual skill and taste,and, taken as a whole,are the best col- lection we haye seen within its walls for many years.

The exhibit from’ the Canadian West Manitoba, the Territories and _ British Columbia have helped us considerably in waking this year’s display one of the best we have seen for many years. The splen- did collections of grains thrashed and in the straw, roots, grasses, vil cake, fruits, etc., is attracting considerable attention. Among the roots we noticed the following, all of them very fine specimens: 20 varieties of potatoes from Wm. Cubelt, of Springfield, Man.; half bush of Beauty of

Hebron potatoes from Wm. Avinson, Springfield, Man.; half bush of Belle

potatoes, Thos. McIntosh, Kildonan; two vegetable marrows, large, long and shapely, D. Sewell, Kildonan; two do. from D. Aikell, Springfield; half bush Empire State potatoes from F. McInt sh, Kildonan; two fine c.trons, Wm. Cubelt, Springtield; one California.citron, Mrs. Meclver, Kaldonan; five splendid Kohl rabi, R, Palmer, Spring- field; three cows horn turnips, R.

Mrs McIver, Kildonan. Twocolossa! potatves from Silver Heights were tested by the Judges, and weighed respectively 44 and 3} lbs. An entry of their weight was made by Mr. MeNeill, who will verify our state- ment. Amongst the thrashed grain, Mr. Jos. Dodds sends a bag of very bright Wel- come oats, well filled and good shape. Wm. Cubelt, of Springfield, shows White Hulless | barley, very heavy. Wm. Aumyon shbws |

black oats of fine quality. The. whole ex- hibit is arranged with artistic taste. A banner 60 teet long has the inseription, ‘The Garden of the West sends greeting to the Garden of the East,” another has ‘Canada One, from Ocean to Ocean,” & third, ‘* Make the East prosper by filling up the West.” When asked how Prince Edward Island would benetit by helping to fill up our far Canadian West, Mr, Arm- strong, who has the exhibits in charge, said that the thing had already been done, and that we have the problem, the cause and effect worked and working before our eyes every day. The farmers of New Eng- land, he said, are tilling land not. worth 4 tithe of the land that P. E. Island farmers are working, and living well, because they have large manufacturing centres near them for markets. These manufacturing centres tind their markets in the far Ameri- cau West which New England helped to fillup. Asso nas the Canadian West has one million of a population, Nova Scotia’s mines of coal and iron will attract manu- facturers, manufacturing centres will grow up fast at our doors, and in them we will find the markets that we need.

The collection of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., on the Show grounds is also large and excellent.
