Notes of the Stallion Race.

THE great race between the stallions Black Pilot and Hernando, which took place on Summerside Driving Park yester- day afternoon, attracted an immense num- ber of people to that thriving town, The hotels and boarding-houses were all crowd-

again, many persons drove to the town and some who could not obtain the neces- took Shanks’ mare.

Previous to visiting the Park, THE EXAMINER’s reporter called at Noonan’s stables, where he met P. S. Brown, and had a glimpse at Hernando. From Noon- an’s he went to Daniel McDonald’s stables, where Pilot had been kept since being brought up on Monday, but both horse and driver were away.

These improvements will cost a little more in the beginning, but much less in the end, than if they had been made in wood and mud; and the Councillors are to be commended for mak- ing such good use of the funds which our taxpayers have committed to their charge. It would be well if all citizens who have the means-would follow the good example in respect to sidewalks set by the owners of the Cameron Block, the Brown Block, Messrs. Norton & Fennell’s building and the City Council.

— During a recent investigation by Treasury Officials at Boston, it was learned that 1,500 foreign fishermen, principally Nova Scotians, were employed on 29 Glou- cester fishing vessels, and that the captains of 27 vessels were residents of Nova Scotia, who only visited the United States to as- sume command or land theirfish. It was also learned thatof 124 fishermen lost from Glou- cester vessels in 1887, 104 were foreigners. To such‘an extent had this practice of im- porting provincial fishermen obtained, and so generally was it recognized that when the firm of D. C. & H. Babson contracted for a new vessel, the Ada 8. Babson, they at the same time contracted for an alien crew. Both vessel and crew were deliver- ed in April last. During this investigation it was found that the same custom of im- portation of fishermen was general in the fleets of Cape Cod and Maine. As a result of the Treasury inquiry fishermen from the Provinces arriving by vessels were refused permission to land at New England_ ports. This was easily evaded. In many instances

' fishermen sent back to the Provinces by

the customs officials came again to this country by railroad unquestioned, and many are known to be now engaged in fish- ing on Massachusetts vessels. The: native fishermen of New England hope the officials will probe the matter to the bottom, and they give unstinted praise to the adminis- tration! .

— Commenting on the fact that the Can- adian Banks could find no use for about $10,000,000 of Canadian money which ha to be invested in the United States, the Toronto Globe says:—

of the large profits of the banks, From a table compiled by us and printed in the Globe Board of Trade number, it will be observed that the net profits of the banks doing busi- ness in Ontario last year ranged from 7 to 17 per cent. These were the net profits, due al- lowance being made for the bad and doubtful accounts. In some instances the losses were heavy. If there had been no losses the profits of these banks last year would have been at least 10 to 20 per cent., and some years the profits have been much greater. The weak accounts are those which pay the highest rates for discount and accommodation. This is the chief reason why new banks have so little influence in the reduction of rates. They generally get the weak accounts and have to

charge accordingly. If a strong bank with

How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes.

In a recent speech before the Ottawa Field Naturalist Club at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Professor Saunders re- ferred to the club’s visit last year and the warm reception which greeted them at the lands. of the mosquitoes on that occasion, recalling to mind the ignominious retreat of some of the naturalists, caused by the violent onslaught of, vast multitudes of those fearless winged creatures. There was then, he said, a thirty-eight acre swamp in the southwestern portion of the farm where no drainage system existed, and where from one to two. feet of water lay. over the the greater part of the surface of that area all the year aound—a perfect paradise and breeding ground for mosquitoes. On the farm to-day there are already six miles of main drains through the swan.p, and now we can sit in peace without being disturb- ed by the melody of these swamp- dwellers.

Personal.

Hon. John Lefurgey, Summerside, is at the Davies. ;

Mr. H. L. McDonald, M. P. P., Cardigan, is at the Davies.” Mr. George F Owen, of Cardigan, is at the Osborne to-day. Hon. J. O. Arsenault was among the guests registered at the Osborne yesterday. Mr. Gladstone has presented to a church in Flintshire the money he received for his reply to: Robert G. Ingersoll. - ;

Messrs. Boyd and Toole, of the Moncton Times, were among tnose who came over in the steamer from Point du Chene, to attend the stallion race at Summerside yesterday. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Walter J. Rowe has passed creditable examination be-

been granted a inaster’s certificate. Mr. ee is a sonof John T. Rowe, Esq., of this city.

A New York politician is so fond of being

‘*deadheaded ” everywhere that when some of his friends were debating how to get him to attend church, one of them said: ‘‘ Charge an admission fee and he’ll be after a pass before breakfast,” Hon, William Allen, Justice of the Judicial Court of Massachusetts, who, together with his family have been at the Hotel Davies for some time past, left for home, wa St. John, this morning. During his stay the hon. gentleman visited several parts of the Island, and was charmed with what he saw. 3

Princess Eugenie of Sweden sacrificed her family jewels to build a hospital upon an island off the coast, where poor cripples might be nursed and healed. Her brother, the King, thought her crazy to sell all the crown jewels that had fallen to her share. But they were to her the unused “motor, that properly applied and connected with bene-

What you may decently expect, if you have some talent and much industry, is such an in- come as a clerk will earn with a tenth or per- haps a twentieth of your nervous output.” We believe, however, that Mr. Stevenson’s own practical rewards for popularity have de- cidedly exceeded this modest limit.

The grand stand was crowded early in the day. Many of’ those thereon, it 18 alleged, did not have tickets, © and thus a good many ticket holders were shut out. That portion of the grand stand set apart for the reporters was so uncomfortably crowded with people who had no business there that it was almost imposible to do any work, We trust that in future the

the race has already appeared in Toe Ex- AMINER and need not be again narrated.

Pilot was frightened by a dog shortly after the start in the first heat, and could not be brought under proper control till after Hernando had won. In the second, third and fourth heats Pilot made up for this, however, trotting all three beautifully and witheut a break.

The race was creditable to all concerned. Each horse went in to win. All are agreed that it wasa fair and square race. Both drivers are highly praised for their skill. The judges did their work to the satisfac- tion of all.

There was not much betting either before or during the race. What there was done was, so far as we could learn, about two to one on Pilot. Many of those who talked bet the loudest-failed to come to time.

A very pleasing feature of the race was the number of ladies on the grounds. Their presence evidently had considerable to do with the good order maintained.

The general inipression was that the time of both horses should have been hung out.

The railway officials are to be congrato- lated upon carrying so many persons over the road without accident.

Tre EXAMINER has to thank the tele- phone. officials, the Park managers, and Mr. Pentz, for courtesies extended.

LLL LOO ELLE LEA TD, The Harvest. AN ABUNDANT YIELD OF ALL CEREALS IN WESTERN ONTARIO,

(London Advertiser.)

The Western Ontario harvest of 1888 is practically over. Here and there a field of late oats may still remain ungathered, but that is probably all. The oat crop has proved unusually heavy, the straw being long and the heads well filled with that which will keep the oatmeal mills grinding and the horses chewing for another season. From afew points complaint has come of rust, but the trouble is not serious. A large yield of peas is also expected, both vines and pods being well developed. There appears to be a general immunity from the ‘* bug” pest su far as reports yet indicate. The barley crop was~ also excel- lent, and to the favorable wheat and hay crops we have alluded.

Corn promises well, many patches of fod- der corn being phenomenally heavy, while roots, including potatoes, turnips, mangold wurtzeis and field carrots, are likely to fur- nish an abundant supply of succulent food for live stock during the coming winter. Flax has also done well in the few districts where it is grown. Apple crop prospects are fair, and buyers have already been visiting the farmers in order to contract for the fruit that is now. maturing on the trees, offering 75 cents per barrel for fall apples—the price considered rather low, however. f

Taken all together, Western Ontario and its hub—London—have every cause for

reasonable prices there ought to be a good fall business.
