“THE EXAMINER” TAKING NOTES,

Tue grounds and buildings on the rising ground in the eastern suburbs of the town, are to-day the scene of busy prepar- ation for the first Provincial Exhibition under the auspices of the Charlottetown Exhibition and Driving Park Association.

The spacious and well-proportioned ‘‘Ex hibition Buildings” on the eminence at once command the admiration of the visitor, while the “grand stand” and the oval track, and the stately flowing Hillsborough River, and the wide and varied landscape, extend- ing from Fort Augustus Church to the mouth of Charlottetown harbor, lie be- yond.

The well-known apostle of sxstheticism, when lecturing in our Market Hall some years ago, lamented that we sadly lacked a taste for decorative art. If Oscar Wilde could but visit our exhibition building to- day, he would, we are sure, fee] inclined to lessen the force of his criticism.

The interiorof the building has been made very pleasing to look upon, not by works of art so much as by the simple pro- ducts of nature under the influences of good taste. Fruits, flowers, grasses, sutumn leaves, sheaves of grain, ears of corn, tall stalks of fodder corn, garden vegetables, roots, the common potato and turnip, and even weeds, have been com- bined with flags and other manufactured articles to produce an artistic effect.

Directly opposite the eastern entrance is a small arch covered by nataral grasses,

icked and chosen by our Island naturalist, fr. Francis Bain. These grasses are worthy of more than passing attention. Therefore, we make no apology for introducing here the following description ef them, from the pen of Mr. Bain himself :

OUR NATIVE GRASSES.

Prince Edward Island was originally a land of the forest, where bright foliaged birches and maples, and dark-cloaked spruces, spread rich umbrage over all its swells. But wherever an opening in the forest cloak left sunlight and room for the humbler plants to grow, the native fertility of the soil produced an assemblage of grasses unsurpassed in any country for luxuriance, beauty and nutritive qualities. Now that the shadows of the forest monarchs are gone, these grasses are rapid- ly marching out from their humble re- treats and spreading, luxuriant herbage all over our land, wherever favorable circuin- stance anda kindly culture foster their growth. It is well that we form an intimate acquaintance with these original inheritors of the soil, that we may be aware which to encourage as valuable aids to our agri- culture, and which to reject as worthless weeds. To favor this purpose a collection of our grasses has been made, and is to-day shown at the Provincial Exhibition, where all may have a chance to study them for themselves under the moat favorable circum- stances.

Foremost among our native grasses stands the June grass, or Kentucky blue grass. This grass dves not flourish on poor soils, but on rich lands, as soon as the first breath of spring starts any vegeta- tion, it throws upa rich math of dark green linear foliage, affording a herbage of the most nutritous and delicate character. In June it grows a stalk bearing a panicle of dark bluish spicklets which show their bloom before any other grass. When cropped it flowers a second or third time, and in September its light green panicles adorn every rich well cropped sward. In pastures it is not more than six or eight inches in height, but on rich well cultiva- ted soils it produces a fine, delicate, luscious herbage two or three feet in height.

This is the same grass that makes the celebrated blue grass pastures of Kentucky. {t does not attain the same perfection in our latitude, but its exceedingly early growth, its hardiness, its permanence in the soil, and its high nutritive qualities make ita very valuable pasturage grass.

Herds grass, or Red top (Agrostus Vul- garis) grows abundantly on all dry pas- tures, occupying the ground when the more valuable grassea are starved out. In this reupect itis valuable, affording fair pasturage where other grasses fail.

Poe serotina grows on the rich soils along the borders of streams. It is two or three feet in height, The delicate, pur- plish panicles of this beautiful grass weave a flowing silky border along the course of many a quiet woodland stream, giving 4 peculiar charm to such a scene.

Festuca elatior, or the taller Fescue—is another tall, broad panicled grass that

ws on damp rich soils. lt

#@ common in river bottoms in Prince

County. [It is a very rich fodder

grass, and on suitable soils will produce

more valuable feed than any other grass. If the bottom lands along our rivers were sown with this rich native grass, instead of y and clover, they would be very

much more productive than they are at present.

Wet runs are usually occupied by a thick matted herbage of the prostate growth of thin grass. Agrostis perennans, sheep fescue, with round wiry leaves, grows on dry, sandy lands, or with the stiff wire grass (poa compressa) will flourish on im-

| poverisbed soils where nothing richer cares | forenoon.

to grow.

Drop-seed grass —makes a tall growth of coarse herbage on damp lands, affording abundant forage for browsing cattle where the most delicate grasses fail.

Blue-joint Grass—is a broad leaved yrass

man’s head, affording a dense growth of succu- lent herbage overtopped by the waving plumes of its delicate, silky panicles. These hand- some panicles are usedgby our florists to add to the beauty of their floral bouquets

Canary Grass—crowds the borders of ponds with its broad rich foliage and tall white spikes of useful seeds.

Then the Marsh Grasses—fill the muddy bot- toms of tidal streams with heavy growths of harsh foliage, useful as litter, and also for change of feed in winter.

And the wiry Sand Grass—climbs over the drifting sind duues, rustling its dry spikes in the sea-breeze, and chaining the unstable sands with its creeping roots, so as to raise them into bulwarks against the charge of the boom- ing deep. ,

Our native grasses are valuable for their hardiness. Unscathed by the frosts of winter or burning heat of summer, they spread per- rennial beauty over every wild, and struggle against every vicissitude to afford nutritious forage wherever earth is hard for their growth. Even in gmidwinter the bed of astream will be green with a fresh carpet of the succulent Poa perennans, when all nature besides is locked in icy fetters. Our pastures owe their permanent richness to‘two native grasses and a native clover. And itis the capillary pane icles of these grasses which weave that delicate silken veil of fairy texture, that autumn, like a eoy maiden, sprevds over the swelling fea- tures of her maturing pastures and up the winding course of every blue-bosomed stream let.

PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL.

The flowers and fruits have a prominent place in the middle of the building, direct- ly opposite the entry on either side. Though this has not been a very good fruit year, we think that every one will agree with Tue Examiner that the display of apples, peas, plums and other autumn fruits, under the suprintendence of William rowa, Esq., is exceedingly creditable to the Province, and proves conclusively the capability of Prince Edward Is- and as a fruit growing country. In addition to the autumn fruits, there are a number of pots of summer fruit preserved in alcohol. Of these Mr. Robertson, of Ink- erman Farm, makes a highly creditable dis- play in gooseberries, cherries, black and red cufrants etc., and William Brown, Esq., and William Heard, Esq., of this city, furnish several pots of mammoth goose- berries and currants.

Of roots and vegetables there is an ex- ceedingly fine show, extending all along the eastern side of the building. This de- partment is under the management of R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., who has succeeded in making an admirable arrrange ment of exhibits. Everything can easily be seen at the best advantage. So nobly have our farmers and _ horticulturists responded to the call for ex- hibits, that there was difficulty in finding room for all. There are no Jess than ninety- five exhibits of potatoes—some of them larger than any we have ever seen; and the show of onions, celery, tomatves, squashes, pumpkins, beets, corn, cucumbers, mangols, turnips, cabbages, suuflowers, etc., sur- passes anything of the kind ever before shown in thie Province.

Tne exhibits of fancy work and works of art are interesting, and there is a good show of grain as well as of products of the dairy.

There are about two hundred entries of horses, and a hundred and sixty entries of cattle.

SPECIAL EXHIBITS.

Some of our merchants, manufacturers, and dealers have shown commendable en- terprise in the display of their goods. Messrs. James Paton & Co., have, at con- siderable expense, erected an artistic pavilion, inside which they show carpets and art draperies, and outside which they dis- play a fine assortment of furs.

Messrs. Beer Beos. also have a_ nicely decorated section, in which they, with a prudent regard for the coming winter weather, show two thousand dollaas worth of furs.

One of the finest and most attractive of the special exhibits is that of the Char- lottetown Pottery Company. This exhibit is of the most varied character, and clearly demonstrates the ability of the Company to furnish earthenware for use and orna- ment. A potters wheel in operation will be one of the sights of tha exhibition.
