Exhibitions.

Tue Pr ovincial Exhibition this year was a decided success, so far as it afforded our people an opportunity of showing to the public what advances we are making in the and in the raising of

13, we note with regret, not what it should be, when we consider the amount of money expended by the Government on improved stock, and the

facilities affurded our farmers by placing pure bred animals within their reach and at

moderate figures.

The natural inference to be drawn is that we are not sufficiently educated to the advantage of breeding pure stock. Mva-

grel stock will cost as much, if not mure,

to breed than the pure bred. There is asa result no profit to our farmers from raising

mongrels. On the other hand, a farmer who raises improved stock has no difficulty in selling his surplus animalsat remunerative prices, while his supply of milk and beei

isimproved both in quantity and quality.

Although ahead of vur neighbors in the production of horses, we are behind them in the intelligent development of the horse. While this state of things is suffered to

exist, we cannot reap the remuneration to

which are entitled from intelligent

breeding horses. Our young stock are

sold out of the Province undeveloped and at

comparatively low figures, and the strang-

ers who from us and develop our

buy

trotting stock, reap all the benefit.

Several young horses have been sold by the farmers of this Province at as low a figure which

as $100 each, , after development,

were resold at handsome prices.

In order to realize the full value of our labor and efforts in breeding good horses, we must provide a_ convenient

and well regulated trotting park where the young stock can be developed. There might possibly be anobjection rais€@ by some of our people against the Government expending public money in buying and preparing a trotting lf so, would suggest that our intelligent stock raisers should at The park should be convenient to the city, well fenced and managed.

If we had such an one, the Gov- ernment instead of cooping up our people and stock in the present small enclosure on Government House grounds at our yearly exhibitions, would, doubtless, give the man- agers of the park a yearly grant to conduct The city would, we beli¢ve, assist such an ex- hibition by a grant from the City Treasury.

Decidedly Rich.

‘*We understand that Mr. McMillan is negotiating with the proper authorities in re- gard to having a railroad track established trom the railroad works to his wharf, and we hope his energy and enterprise will meet with success.

The foregoing paragraph, clipped from an article headed ‘‘ Iinprovementa” in the last Patriot, is exceelingly rich, when it is remembered that the chief originator of our | railroad, the late Hon. James C. Pope, had contracted for the extension of the track along the front of the various wharves, but the ‘‘energy and enterprise” of that able statesman was hindered by the obstructive and blighting advent of the Grit Govern-

aE

ment. Itis well, however, that at this late hour the editor of the Patriot, who was | & prime*factor inthe hindrance, should | now wish the enterprise success. The on- ward march of progress under a Liberal- | Conservative Administration has apparent'y | diffused a smal] degree of progress into ** the flies on the wheel.” It is well in this connection to call attention to the site of

the Summerside Station, located by thc’

same incompetents, and for which they paid over $50,000 in addition to the | original sum, The first proposal of a much preferable site stipulated for by the Liberal- Conservative Government, was changed in order that the capacious maw of a few Grit

supporters might be filled. At present the

people of Prince County generally are clamoring to have it removed to the locality ,

at first proposed.

A Coutrast.

We have received a copy of the special | edition of the Omaha Daily World, which . . . i

is issued by the million, its object being to boom the State of Nebraska and direct the |

tide of immigration into that channel. * very handsome periodical of over one hun- dred pages, illustrating the City of Lincoln! in the same State, is also being circulated | broadcast.

With our American cousins the love of | country is always greater than their adhe- sion to party.

No matter if it be a Republican or Democratic administration in power, the wide-awake Yankee is intent upon the laudable task of showing that ‘‘the glorious Republic is the Paradise in which intend- ing emigrants can live and prosper. Although their representations may, on many vccasions be extravagant, their deter- mination does not for a moment grow faint nor their laudation of their country become weak. Their disposition is in striking con- trast to the Canadian Grit, whose chief desire is for place and power, and who to gain the same is willing to decry the Dominion and prevent settlers from coming among us. We, however, incline to the belief that the free and idependent electors of our land are growing weary of such unpatri- otic conduct, and that the day is far distant when they will place the reins of power in the hands of a party who, possessing no stated policy of their own, filch that of their progressive opponents.

Ir is pleasing to learn that the latest re- ports to the Fisheries Department, Ottawa, are to the effect that the Labrador fisher- ies have been much better this year than for the last two or three seasons, and that there is no fear of the people being in dis- tress this winter.

In connection with the recent outrages in Behring’s Sea, the Toronto Globe calls attention to the fact that Secretary Bout- well in 1873, after the United States had acquired Alaska, refused a request of the Alaska Fur Company that revenue cutters should be sent to prevent foreigners sealing in Behring’s Sea, and said: ‘‘I1 do not see that the United States would have any jurisdiction or power to drive off parties going up there fur that purpose, unlessthey made such attempts within a marine league otf the shore.

The Rifle.

The match between the Wimbeldon and Home Teams was shot on Saturday afternoon. The weather was very digagreeable and diffi- cult for shooting, the consequence of which was the scores were not very good, with the exception of Longworth’s and Gay's.

Another Convert.

The Provincial Exhibition at Charlotte- town has had one good effect. It has dis- pelled the gloom from the office of the Patriot, and made the editor’s heart swell with gladness. When next Mr. Davies wails over the woes of the Island we may expect to see him brought up short by the man of the Patriot. The latter went to the exhibition on Wednesday, and the effect of Wednesday's experience was made mani- feston Thursday. On that morning he starts out, and the ‘‘sun’s fitful smiles” touch his poetic fancy with a gladdening thrill. He-ereaches the grounds and the horse f@rade stirs him to exclaim :~-

‘*To see the choicest specimens of this noblest of all animals prancing around on the green sward is simply enough to draw from the most unpoetic soil a burst of wonder, love and praise at the handiwork of the great Creator.”

Coming down to the practical again he says :—

** Never have we seen such a tine show in this class as that on the grounds this week. Great interest is now taken by our farmers in horse-raising.”

He passes on to find that the display of cattle is creditable, and the sheep,as usual, one of the best features of the show. And after discussing the pigs and poultry he reaches the flower table, where his pvetic soul is again stirred in this wise :—

‘The delightful odor of these flowers, com- bined with their pleasing appearance, made this table the centre of attraction toall lovers of the beautiful.”

For a little he hovers over the table of woollen and flax goods, and then over that of fine arts and fancy work ; and by the

| time he reaches the Charlottetown woollen

mills exhibit the last ray of gloom is dis- pelied, the last doubt vanishes, and in the

| fullness of his heart he is able to exclaim ; | ** Encourage home manufacture is a good

motto.’ As he passes on and reviews the other manufactured articles exhibited, some of which he says ‘‘need no recom- mendation,” and of others that they are ‘* almost perfect,” we feel assured that the national policy has now another warm champtou.—St. Jahn Swn. .

st. Joseph's Bazaar.

Tus Bazaar, which opened in St. Joseph's Convent, Pownal Street, on Tues- day afternoon last, closed after a very suc- cessful season on Saturday evening. The devotedness of the Ladies of St. Joseph's Sodality towards St. Joseph's Convent, and the respect and esteem entertained for the good Sisters of that institution were amply manifested in the well stocked tables, and in the eagerness with which each one endeavored to outdo the other in the matter of increasing the funds of the institution. The Fancy Tables were loaded down with useful and ornamental specimens of the handiwork of the ladies of the Sodality, and other friends of the institu- tion, and were well patronized. The Oys- ter Department, the half shell portion of which was presided over by that veteran oysterman, Mr. Carmody, was called | upon very freely; while the Refreshment Tables, which fairly groaned under their weight of good things, possessed atttactions which few could resist. Then there were the lotteries in which everyone invariably took a chance, and some several. That all who invested could capture a prize was, of course, not to be expected, but those who lost have the satisfaction of knowing that their money has _ been well spent. The large number of people present each evening thoroughly appre- ciated the efforts made for their eatertain- ment, and were well pleased with the music furnished by the Artillery Brigade Band. ‘The auction sale on Saturday night was conducted by P. Blake, Esq., M. P. P., and fairly good prices were obtained for the articles sold. The totai amount realized was $709. The ladies of the Convent and the members of the Sodality are deeply grateful to all who in any way contributed towards the success of their Bazaar.

The following are the names of the Jadies who presided over the different tables, and whose energy and activity in the interests of the Convent is to be commended :—

Fishery Notes. LAST WEEK'S FISHING.

Along the first of the week some of the North Shore fishermen did remarkably wel]. One of them cavght 1300 mackerel on Monday, off North Lake, while several others got 400 and 500 with the old hook and line.

Off ae on Friday, the schooner Harriet Torry, Capt. Lord, of Souris, seined over one hundred barrels mackerel ; and the Loraine, Capt. Tierney, of same place is also reported to have made a haul : the same time, off the Cape Breton shore.

With the exception of the above catches there was little or no mackere] taken last week. Seining may be said to he over for the season, and anything that may be taken by the hook during the remaincer of this fall is not likely to affect the market any. We only hope that next season's fishing may prove as remunerative as the one now closing has been to many of our fishermen. The value of our fisheries cannot be over-estimated, and in the com- mission soon to take place’ at Washington, it is hoped that the position which Sir John has taken in enforeing the - Treaty of 1818, may be endorsed by the other British Commissioners to the utmost extent. Our fisheries must not be sacrificed to appease the cupidity of Brother Jonathan nor any other man.
