Tienter Haythorne, on behalf of the Board of Exhibition Commissioners, read the following

ADDRESS :

lis Honor Lieut. Governor THOMAS Havitanp, Esquire, etc , ete. May it please your Honor, —

The Board of Commissioners appointed by your Honor in Council to conduct the Provin- cial Exhibition of the year 1883, have much satisfaction in addressing your Honor on the

resent occasion, when the results of their abors are appareat in this hall and sorround- ing grounds and in the stockyard adjoining.

Their satisfaction is enhanced by certain other considerations of an agreeable character, First, Divine Providence has been bountiful to ovr Province in giving and thus far preserving to our use the kindly fruits of the earth for our future support and comfort. The undersigned believe that the crops of cereals are generally large and of excellent quakty, that the hay crop has been well eaved, aad is not very deficient in quantity, and that roots promise to be abundant.

Another source of satisfaction is the recent splendid success attained by the Island Exhi- bitors at the Dominion Exhibition held at St. John, New Brunswick, on the centennial anni- versary of the immigration of the United States Loyalists. It is no part of the Com- missioners’ duty to enter into details on this subject’; they mention it as a matter of gen- eral congratulation, and especially because st cannot be doubted that the County and Pro- vineial Exhibitions, by exciting a spirit of competition and desire to excel, stimulate at the same time the skill, taste, and industry of exhibitors. and thus lead by a very direct process to the successful results which have crowned the efforts of the Islanders at Mon- treal, at Halifax, and at St. John.

The Commissioners reject the idea that the successful horse and stock breeders and other exhibitors of this Province, will be content in the future to rest and be thankful with the reputation already obtained; on the contrary they believe that greater efforts still further to improve their position. will be required, and wil cheerfully be made; but, at the same time, it will of course be expected that where private cfforts cease, Government will a and assist, by uaintaining at the Stock Farm none but the choicest animals, and of variety to suit all purposes, also’ by liberal grants to the County and Provincial Exhibitions, which, it is clear, help to train competitors for the more important arena of Dominion Exhibitions.

One other consideratien arises out of the recent contest at St. John—it is that the Island Province, having contributed to the success of three Dominion Exhibitions, is now entitled to a grant from the Dominion Trea- sury for the purpose of holding one on her own soil, inviting of course the competition of the adjoining, and other Provinces. This subject has incidentally occupied the atten- tion of the Board, and will probably be re- ferred tointhe more formal report of their proceedings, which will be made by your Honor iv Council.

A very ancient industry has recently been assuming a new character in our midst, The domestic dairy is to some extent superseded by butter and cheese factories. To make this new enterprise completely successful, it will be necessary to breed cows specially adapted for the production of the largest quantity of rich milk, and next, to provise for them at all seasons an ample supply of suitable food, Our Province, it ia certain, has special capabilities for this business. The pasturage during somy, months is excellent, the water pure an plen- tifal. The soil produces roots of all kir.ds fodder corn and sweet hay in perfection, v/hile the market for choice butter and good genuine cheese may truly be said to be insatia’;Je, It seems likely, therefore, that butter arid cheese factories will increase; and if 80, it is impor- tant that,some breed or breeds of cattle, specially adapted to the production of milk, should be imported and kept at the Stock Farm.

_In concluding their address, while thanking Your Honor for the countenance and su port Your Honor always so readily affords, the Commissioners would ask Your Honor to cast a glance over the contents of this Hall, diverted to-day from its ordinary military to a peaceful use, over the animals in the show-field bred on the Island, and then Bay whether a country capable of producing fruits, and flowers, roots, an vegetables, cereals and pulse, horses for pleasure and labor, and other domestic animals of such a quality as are here displayed, is not a suitable home, not only for ita own rising generations, but also for Ba omer of the earners classes who now seem dis expatriate themsely the British Teles 7 ae

which is respectfully submitted by undersigned Comstiasionsrs — R. P, Hayrnorne, , Acting Chairman.

His Honor replied in a speech of some length. He expressed the pleasure he hac, had in being present at the Dominion ard Centennial Exhibition at St. John, and the pride it gave him to see that in al most every department of Agriculture, th, pro- ducta of the {Island were among the best there,—-drawing handsome first prizes in a competition with the larger Provinces of Canada. Our caitle, sheep, grain d dairy product ) aa Cairy products ranked high at St. John, and it was acknowledged on ‘all hands that our

THE DAIL

pended for flour, will this year be savec. ‘There has also been a fine yield of oats, and the New Zealand w'iite oats, lately intro- duced, is likely to find a good market in the West Indias. These exhibitions mark how we are advancing, and also tell us where we are loosing ground. They are es- | tablished institutions, and they are invalu- ‘able. The motto of our farmers should be | **Excelsior,” and the policy of our Govern- | ments should be to aid and encourage ;them by continually importing the best |kinds of animals, Not only should there / be Short-horns and Ayrshires of the very ‘best quality on the Government Stock | Farm, but Jersey's as well. We should | pay more attention to butter making; and the Jersey’s are unrivalled as givers of rich milk for butter. The farmers on their parts should procure for their wives the very best implements for use in their dairies. Far- mers should be proud of their calling. It is the first and noblest of occupations; and it is astounding to see young men leave it to go behind counters and enter businesses in which, in nine cases out of ten, they fail. Some idea of the wealth it brings to the Island, may be obtained from the following statement of some of our exports in 1882 :

Horses, - $136,307.00 Cattle. - 34,472.00 Sheep, 23,559.00 Eggs, - - 241,873.00 Cheese, . 5,000.00 Potato Starch, - 68,074.00

not to speak of oats, potatoes, and other raw products.

This is a short and imperfect summary of His Honor’s remarks previous to declaring the Exhibition open.

GENERALLY.

The exhibition building looks barer than usual, owing to the ahsence of exhibits from our cloth factories. But there is a good show of roots, vegetables, grains, butter, cheese, fancy and artistic articles, etc. The show of stock is large and good.

MESSRS. BEER & SONS

exhibit samples of the various soaps manu- factured at their new factory in Charlotte- town. The exhibit is the first of its kind on this Island. Besides the ordinary household soaps there are two kinds of mottled soaps. The exhibit is in charge of Mr. J. Lapthorne, the manager of the fac tory, and compares more than favorably with the exhibits of soap at St. John.

MR. W. H. LYNCH of Quebec, is here with his patent scientific dairying apparatus, consisting of strainer, milking pail;creamer, butter worker, air tight tub, and rotary churn. The patent for the latter has been purchased by Mr. R. K. Brace of this city, whose efforts in the promotion of one of the most important industries of the Island are worthy alike of praise and reward. Mr. Lynch is, we understand, willing to give lectures on the subject, which he has made a speciality, and for which his name is well known throughout Canada; and we trust that our leading farmers and their wives will avail themselves of this opportunity of gaining information respecting the making of good butter.

MR. ABRAM GILL, of Little York, shows a very fine collection of fruit: nine varieties of apples, five of crabb apples, one of magnum bonum plums and one of grapes, grown in the open air. The latter are as perfectly natured as any of the kind iniported, the plums are deli- cious, and altogether Mr. Gill’s exhibit is a most creditable one.

MR. MURPHY,

Manager of the Charlottetown Gas Works, exhibits a gas heating stove, which is guaranteed to heat a large bedroom. Ne coal to be taken up stairs; no ashes to 'pg brought down; no dust or smoke »,bout the room-—a very important consideration in cases of illness. The stove is ar, elegant ornament for any room; and while it gives heat to boil the kettle it also vives light to do any necessary work about the room.

MR. SMALLW oop

has a fine exhibit of foliaged plants and geraniums. The lator consist of gold and silver tri-colors, ge’\den bi-colors, bronze, silver, variegat-.d, single, double, and round flowered , hybred nose-gay, scented, ivy-leafed, etc, He also shows mosses, echeverias, etc. ,S very chaste and beautiful. The folit ged plants consist of acacias,

gravi) a and robusti; there are also hanging pot, filled with various basket plants. Mr. 8ruallwood’s exhibit occupies a large por- ‘ion of the space allotted to his plants, and reflects credit upon his taste.

MR. HASZARD exhibits foliaged plants consisting of celeus, rex begonias, ferns, acacias, palms; to- gether with single and double and _tri- colors, and bronze geraniums, carnations, pansies, fuchias, lilies, etc. MR. W. E. HICKEY,

of this City, exhibits an elegant suit of Turkish drawing-room furniture in taspes- try. It is the only exhibit of the kind; and is well worthy of inspection.

MR. J. T. FERGUSON

exhibits the Excelsior ‘organ for which he is the agent in this Province. It is in elegant style and altogether one of the finest instruments of the kind ever brought to P. E. Island,

MESSRS. MILLER BROTHERS

exhibit organs by first class makers, a var- lety of sewing machines etc.—a very nice selection—-drawn from the stock they have on sale at their store on Queen street. The organs are excellent in tone, and ele- gant 'm style and finish.

MR. H. BLATCH

exnibits a very handsome toilet and card table of his own manufacture. It is inlaid with ash, and artistically ornamented with cillerettes. It is in two paris and may be used either as a toilet or card table. For the work of an amateur it is remarkable, and attracts a great deal of attention. PRIZE LIST. ROOTS AND VEGETABLES.

A Correction.

Srr,—Your report of the City Council’s proceedings of Monday evening last of what was stated by me is untrue. What | stated was that the city had come into possession of the cellar, formerly occupied by Mr. Henry Coombs, and that said cellar had been sold to Messrs. Campbell & Rayden, and moved that the conditions under which the cellar was sold be confirmed by this Council.

P. S.—-It would be well if persons com- municating proceedings of the City Council would state the truth.
