Each year our expenditure in building and repairs is consider- able, This year is no excep- tion. Slnce 1903 we have spent $37,957.0p l-n new buildings and re- pairs, The great storm recently which did so much damage in some others parts of the Dominion, did not leave us unscuitbeih-a portion of our fences were blown down. me of our buildings damaged, and the roof of others partly blown been repaired Visi-.ors_ from other pints of Canada and the States to our grounds during the past few months were astonished at seeing such fine Exhibition buildings, and he beautiful situation.

As President of the Charlotte- lowu Driving Park and Exhibition Association, lion. Sir will you ai- low me to correct a wrong state- ment that has been made current in some parts of this Province. it has been reported that part. of the (lrant moneys received from the (lovsrnmenls in used for llorsc Racing purposes. This is not so. lll fact if it were not for the finan- ial assistance we receive by hav- Exhlbltion would cease, which would be n. great cal-

d0

lumlty to the Province, not only fin-

manifestetl by the establishing of.

the Potato Growers’ Association. IThe Prince Edward Island Egg and Poultry Association, Women's 1n- lstitutes and other organizations that have adopted the twins "Com- petition aud Co-o-pcruiion". There is not only competition in Farm Products, some departments up- lleal more to the LEKllBB. Art, Nee-

dlework. flowers, Domestic, etc.

Also a display ol‘_o_ur fur famed booked rugs. We are informed by the Publicity Association that during the past season a large number were sold to Tourists at good prices. We congratulate Miss Bcatiics Wedge of Summer- slde In the acceptance by His Roy- ul Highness the Prince of Wales, a beautiful hooked rug, designed and made by this lady. Some- times Exhibitors are disappointed at not obtaining u prize, patriotism to our Province should be upper most in our minds when making entries for an Exhibition of this kind. the educational benefit de- rived from comparison of exhibits must count for something. in some instances of more value than a money prlfe.

The Exhibition nf last year was a great success as far as entries were concerns-l, but not so finan- cially. If today we (fan fudge by the grand showing of Live Stock .in the different barns. the lnllgflifl- cent display of Farm Products. Fruit and Flowers on the first floor of this building‘, "and around the balcony, a wonderful display of needlework, paintings and manu- facturers‘ of vlfoollens, the Exhib- ition opening tonight ‘should sur- pass that of a year ago.

We have followed again this year the recommendation made by the Iknnlnion Live Stock Depart- ment-ss regards giving prizes for but one bro d of hogs. We are as- sured that n doing so we are act- ing in the best interests of the hog industry. Being a member of the Canadian Association of Exhibi- tions. in “Class A" we have follow- ed strictly tile rules laid down by that Association, and in doing so formed a link in the chain of such ililxhibitionn from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.

' ‘For the first time in the history of our been rqce

i

as an Educational institution. Last year about $900000 was distributed in prizes, "principally among the farmers. Should we cease to hold an Exhibi- tion, the $9000.00 would be lost to our people. that with the money spent by visitors to tho City would be a serious loss to our merchants, hotels, boarding houses, and to some of our laboring men, and still worse would be the lowering of the Agriculutral Fling.

The Directors have dens all in their power to make the Exhibition

lthls year a greater success than

ever. and have provided everything possible for the instruction of Ex- hibitors and visitors. They have also not forgotten the lighter side by procuring a variety of entertain- ment for young and c-ld, also the service of the Masonic Band from Halifax, one of the best in Canada

We welcome all visitors, and hope they will take the privilege to see and examine all exhibits in the various classes. Also enjoy the speed contests, which we have every assurance will be the best ever held on our track.
