THE

Educational Entertainment.

A very good and very pleasing enter- tainment was given in the upper hall of the Upper Prince Street School last even- ing, in which musie was interspersed with speeches. His Worship the Mayor pre- sided and delivered an excellent address in which he contrasted the Educational “situation” of this province when he was young with what it is now, and referred to the improvements which have been made in recent years, particularly to the appoint- ment by the Government of a Professor of Agriculture to Prince of Wales College and Normal ‘School. He highly commended our Island naturalist, Mr. Francis Bain,' of North River.

Hon. David Laird took strong ground wainst the ‘*Cramming system” and wainst dabbling in the higher branches to the neg'ect of the elements of all education. As an editor, he was awarethat sume of the teachers themselves did not spell correctly or write good English. He thought that the pupils should be carefully exercised in composition, and that a really good ground- work should be laid before scholars are permitted to study in the higher branches Even Agriculture should be eschewed until the pupil had mastered the three R's.

Rev. Mr. Hamlyn delivered an exceed- ingly interesting address, in which he call- ed to mind the anecdote of the farmer who said in reply to a question, that the reason why he had such a good flock of sheep 3 the

was thet he took care of

the : lambs; and he ponted out the high importance of traiming the young of

the human flock in such a way that they may be fitted to discharge creditably and honorably the duties which may be assigned to them in after life. Mr. Hamlyn gave an interesting description of the English sys- tem of education.

The chairman, referred, at the close, to the portrait of the late Pro- fessor Lepage (painted by Mr. R. Harris, R. C. A.) which now adorns the rooms of the Association, and spoke in the highest terms of the virtues of the deceased teacher. He also referred feelingly to the late Donald Montgomery, andexpressed his great pleasure on hearing that a portrait of the deceased Superintendent of Education was to be obtained and placed upon the wall by this time next year. The singing by the girls of the High School was excellent, and the Egmont Bay Glee Club, led by Mr. Mc- Nally, rendered several choruses beauti- fully. Mr. McNally sang ‘‘ The Death of Nelson” in fine voice, and was enthusias- tically encored. One of the Club gave a violin solo, which was very well done.

Presentation of the Cup.

At 9 o’clock on Thursday evening the beau- tiful cup presented by John Davies, Esq., to the winner in the stallion race, was presented to A. C. Bell, Esq., of New Glasgow, Nova Scctia, in the Directors room at the Exhibi- tion Building. In making the presentation Mr. Davies expressed a hope that the owner of Israel should long continue to own such horses as Israel, and assured him that the Charlotte- town Driving Park and Exhibition Association would always welcome them to its meetings.

Mr. Bell replied in avery happy speech. He was quite overwhelmed with rhe beauty and value of the presentation. He would never part with it except to the Sheriff, and as he hoped it would never be demanded by that official, it would be handed down as an heir loom in the Bell family. He valued the cup all the more because it was won over such noble performers as Golden and Black Pilot. He did not like processions in racing, and it was needless tc say that chis was no procession.

Hon, D. Ferguson thanked Messrs. Bass and Greely, from Bangor, for their assistance at the meeting. The Eastern Maine State Fair, of which these gentlemen are first officers, might almost be said to be parent of the Char- lottetown Association. In these days of Mc- Kinley bills the people of P, E. Island did not long for political rulers and judges from the other side of the line, but they would ever give the welcome hand in such gatherings as this to gentlemen from the United States who would perform the important duties of Judge in the honorable and impartial manner in which Mr. Greely had acted at this meeting.

In reply Mr. Bass (who by the way is pro- prietor of the Bangor Commercial, and form- erly Mayor of that city), thanked the Directors of the Charlottetown Association for their courtesy. He was quite amazed at the com- pleteness of the arrangements of the Exhibi- tion and track. There was not a better track on the continent, and the exhibits of stock of all kinds were splendid. He was satisfied that no such show could be got up eisewhere in Eastern Canada or the New England States. Referring to the McKinley bill, he wished it to be understood that he regarded that measure with greater hostility than it was ever possible for the people of Canada to regard it. He believed in as free a measure of trade between the two countries as was consistent with the maintenance of separate political institutions, and hoped the day was not far distant when his countrymen would turn out the authors of the McKinley bill, and agree to the establish- ment of more friendly trade relations with their Canadian neighbors.

Mr. Greely said it was a great pleasure to preside over a race on so well furnished a track, and where the spectators as well as the contestants acted in so friendly and honorable amanner. He had never in his life seen such orderly gatherings as at these meetings.

R. R. FitzGerald, Esq., on behalf of the Directors, thanked Dr. Grensides and Mr. Starr for their valuable services as judges of horses and fruit. Both these gentlemen had rendered valuable services.

Dr. Grensides, of Guelph, Ontario, made some highly complimentary remarks regarding the horse show, Excepting at the Industrial at Toronto, taere had in his opinion been no sueh collection of horses exhibited in any show in Ontario as was placed before him for judg- ment at this Exhibition. He suggested some improvements in the classification, especially the separation of carriage and trotting horses.

Mr. Starr, of CGensaiiie. made a few re- marks oa the exhibit of fruit. It was useless to tell him after what he had seen, that P. E. Island was nota fruit country. The speci- mens of apples were very good indeed. ‘Tak- ing the on Scotia exhibit out of the St. John Exhibition, the exhibit here was far ahead of what New Brunswick had done atits own show. He said that the whole arrange- ment here was a credit to Prince Edward . land, and predicted a great future for the

The Balmoral Choir.

Tuts celebrated choir of Scottish singers gave one of their ontertainments in the Lyceum last evening, to a full house. The performance throughout was excellent, the best of the kind given in Charlottetown for many years. The entertainment began with a capital rendition of that good old ballad ‘*Scots Wha Hae,” by the choir. This was followed by ‘t The Star of Robbie Burns,’ sung by Mr. Fulton, the leading tenor of the organization, which was de- servedly spplauded. Next came a gviolin solo $by Mr. D’Almaine, “ Fantasia, on Scotch airs.” Sowell was this gentle- man’s playing received that he was obliged to respond to respond to several encores. Later on Yin the evening, Mr. D’Almaine again distinguished himself in ‘‘ Straphseys and Reels.” After an excellent rendition of ** Annie Laurie” by the choir, came the ‘* Minstrel Boy,” which was charmingly sung by Helen G. Mainds. ‘‘ The Sing- ing Lesson,” a humorous duet, was artisti- cally rendered by Madame Stewart and Mr. Bruce, and was encored. Next camea humorous recital by Mr. Patrick, which was well given and received; and the song big Danean Grey” by the ¢ hoir, concluded the first part of the programme, After a short intermission, the second part opened with the ** Hail, Smiling Morn,” which was sung in good time and form. Madame Stewart's song, ** The Flowers of the Forest,” was simply delightful, and well deserved the rapturous encore it re- ceived. Madame Stewart is certainly one of the best soprano singers we have heard in Charlottetown fur some time. Mr. Bruce sung ‘The Braes O’ Mar” in a clear and spirited manner, for which he was encored; and the choir followed with the ‘Jack and Jill.” After an-

The Presbyterian Church and manse pre- sented an animated and beautiful scene last evening when Mr. Robert A. Ander- son, of Vancouver, B.C., (formerly of P.E. Island) was united in marriage to Miss Alice A. Percival, only daughter of Rev. W. W. Percival, one of Richmond Hill’s most popular and estimable young ladies. The altar of the church was beautifully de- corated with trailing vines of autumn leaves revealing here and there rich clusters of mountain ash berries very delicately ar- ranged. Long befvre the time appointed for the ceremony the church was filled with people. At seven o’clock the ceremony be§ gan, the father of the bride officiating, as- sisted by Rev. G. E, Freeman, Lb. A., of Deer Park. The bride was elegantly attir- ed in a rich costume of white silk, embroid- ered with pearl beading, court train, with the usual veil and orange blossoms, the only ornament in the way of jewelry being a diamond brooch, the gift of the groom. She looked the picture of grace and loveli-

ness. The bridesmaids, who also looked lovely, wore heliotrope satin, evening shades, aad carried bouquets of natural flowers. On the conclusion of the cere-

mony the bridal party and invited guests re- paired to the manse, where a reception was held and a few pleasant hours spent. The happy couple left for Niagara Falls and Buffalo, amid showers of rice and the pro- verbial slippers They will return for pro- bably a day at the end of the week, and will stop for a few days at Banff Springs, previous to settling im Vancouver, their future home.-—Richmond Hill, Ont., Lib- eral, Sept. 25th.

Prices of Potatoes.

Potatoes will command good figures this winter across the border. The crop in the West is almost a failure. The Boston Daily Advertiser says: The crops in New Hampshire and Maine are reported to be very good, and the farmers are going to realize, all they can out of them, as they are well aware of the condition of crops in the West. Dealers who have been there say that the farmers will not contract for the sale of their production, preferring to wait until later on. In the provinces and on Prince Edward Island there will be large crops, but the increased duty of 10c. per bushel will naturally have a tendency to make them cost more here, as the far- mers will expect to realize as much as in previous years, especially since the crop in the West is of such small proportions.

Dealers are of the opinion that potatoes are going tu be high all winter. Religious Services. Rev. John Read returned from Montreal
