THE ST. JOHN EXHIBITION,

Tre Mechanies and Manufacturers Ex- hibition opened in St. John on Monday last, continued throughout the week, and will not close until Wednesday evening wext, The exhibition buildings were every day crowded with visitors, not only from all parts of New Brunswick, but from Nora Seotia, Quebec, this Island, andeven Ontario. St. John is the seat of manufacturing enterprise in the Mari- time Provinces ; and the display of home manufactured articles was very credit- able Among the articles were edge tools, marble works, pianos, organs, and an in- finite variety of things useful and orna- mental. A Portland firm showed no less than five hundred samples of articles of their own manufscture.. One of the most attractive portions of the exhibition was that containing the machinery in motion, where were to be seen some fine specimens of home workmanship. The display must have been gratifying to New Brunswickers, and highly pleasing to every one present who had the true interests of the Dominion at heart.

‘CHEN'S LETTER.

MR. MACEAC

We fail to see how denunciation ef the Pafriot for attacking, with oppro- brious epithets, the Commissioner of Crown Lands, without producing definite evidence to justify the attack, is incon- sistent with the denunciation of Messrs. McEachen and Bowers for publishing s letter in which the simplest principles of decency and honor ire violated, and the feelings of every decent man and woman reading it are shockingly outraged. Seurrility has too long been the reproach of our Island press, and the disgrace ef its politics. Public sentiment has risen above it. We feel convineed that in openly denouncing the writer and the publisher of the most scurrilous produc- tion which has appeared in print for many years, we are en rapport, not only with the Liberal Conservative party, but with the people at large. If, however, there are any persous who liked Mr. Me- Eachen's letter, they will enjoy the last New Era’s defence of it.

RIFLE COMPETITION.

Tax annual prize meeting, under the au. spices of the Provincial Rifle Association, opened at Kensington grounds on Friday last and is not yet closed. The firing is ecnducted according to the rules of the Association and under the direction of its officers—of who Lieutenant Col. Rankin is Chief. The following Batteries and Com- panies are represented, viz

Pirst Battery Queen's County Artillery under commaad of Major Pollard

Second Battery Queen's County Artillery, ua- der cocamand of Major Morris.

First Company Queen's County Iofantry,under command of Captain Loagworth.

Second Company Queen's County Infantry, nuader command of Captain Dogherty.

Third Company Queen's County Infantry, un- der command of Captain McRae.

First Battery King’s County Artillery, uader eommand ot Captain Owen.

First Company King’s County [nfuatry, under command of Captain McLeod.

In all, one hundred and ninety men are taking part in the competitions, “The Provincial Rifle Association Match’’ was the first. It was open to all members of the Association, Ranges, 200 and 400 yards; Snider Enfield Rifle. The result of the competition is not yet known. The weas ther was unfavorable, the competitors had little or no preliminary practice, and the shooting was not good. That of Capt. Mc- Leod, Montague,was best at the first range.

His Honor the Lieutenant Governor visits the grounds to-day at twelve o'clock.

A Worn ro Poticenax.—In commenting upon a recent murder in Toronto, the Nation says—and the saying is worthy the consideration of our policemen : —

“The most pressing moral is that our pelice must be made to look sharper about them, and that every manifestation of rowdyism must be severely punished. There is indeed no time to be lost. If the rowdy element should, as it threatens, take the bitin ita mouth, and get beyond the control of the law and its agents, public order must meet with a disastrous fall. Then the era of the pistol and bowie-knife is athand. The only way to avert this is by infusing more vigor into our police. A policeman’s duty is not to dream through his beats, but to beon the alert. A mod- erate sized force, of which each member was up to his work, ought in a city like this, to prove itself ubiquitous, and should be fully equal to the task of suppressing manifestations of rowdy horse-play, not to speak of such displays culminating in murder.”

Arr.—Two portraits on exhibition at the store of H. A. Harvie will attract attens tion. They are likenesses of J. Murpby, Esquire, of Cubs, (brother of W. Murphy, Esq., C. C. of Charlottetown) and his wife. The latter is a young Cuban lady, elegantly dressed—and very beautiful. Both pic- tures are life-like The artist—Mr. R. Harris —is, we are giad to perceive, rapidly acquiring skill) The finish of both the portraits is much finer than that of any picture from his hand previously ex!ibited,

A Biocxaps.—On Friday evening} there was regular blockade on Prince Street, near the Ferry wharf Upwerds of a hun- dred cartsand wagous were waiting a pas- sage ‘o'er the ferry’ for more than an honr The Fifin was kept constantly at work, but was unable to keep the street clear. The farmers south of the Hillsboro’ were in force at the Cattle Show, and secured a large proportion of prizes.

Why are the postal advertizements, con. taining important information for all the the people, published only in one or two newspapers’ Why are postal clerks half paid? Why are the Dominion authorities so close-fisted in respect to the postal department in this Island ?

“RSDALE FOUNDRY.”

Messrs. McKixnos & MecLizan are matin | ufacturers of Steam Engines and Boilers,

Jorsden Patent Revolving Screw Windlass,

Pictou Iron Windlass, and all kinds of ship | and other castings.” The first-class man-— ner in which they built and finished the

new engine and boiler in Messrs. Lea e | Gale’s Poor and Sash Factory, induce’ a

visit to their establishment. They call it

‘Esdale Foundry.’ It is situated on Spring Street —not far from ‘ Black Sam's Bridge.’

The locality is indicated by the ‘ puffing and blowing * of steam, the rattle and clat-

ter of hammers and sledges, the din of | machinery in rapid motion—byall the well- | known accompaniments ofa ‘busy haunt’ | of men working with iron. There are | three buildings ; and the area covered by

the whole concern is over half an acre. | The machine shop first meets the visitor's | view. Itis large and well fitted up with | machinery constructed in the machine

shops of the United States and Ontario. A

self-acting planer built at the works of W.

L. Pond, Worcester, Mass., attracts atten-~ tion by its smooth, powerful, almost noise-~

less movement. A vertical drill and three large lathes are also well worthy of in-

spection. A description, in detail, besides occupying too much of our space, would convey very inadequate ides of the beauty. power, and adaptability of these machines. To be appreciated they must be seen. Ten men are constantly em- ployed in the machine shop. Upstairs, is the pattern loft, where all the designs and patterns are made and kept. The patterns are of wood—exactly like the iron articles to be made—and by them the workmen go. We should say that thousands of pat- terns—many of them elaborate in design— are stored in this loft. Adjoining the machine shop is the blacksmith shop.

Here two smiths are constantly employed.

The wind by which the fires are kept up is not supplied from the old-fashioned bel- lows, but by means of a small fan—called the ‘Sturdivant Blow Fan.’ This fan is not a foot in diameter; but, turned at lightning speed by the power of steam, it makes a draught amply sufficient for all the purposes required. The Foundry, proper, when the casting is done, is a few paces north of the machine shop. Itis supplied with a furnace capable of melting 30 ewt. weight of iron per hour; and is fitted up with all the utensils, etc., re- quired in casting either brass or iron.

Here nine hands are kept at work. The engine which does all the machinery is six horse power — high pressure, horizontal

power.

Altogether, Messrs. McKinnon & Mey Lean employ thirty men. These they pers sonally superintend; and, being practical mechanics, bred to the business—as well as active, intelligent, enterprising young men—the work they turn out is of the first order. They distribute in wages $150 a week. Three years ago they purchased the establishment from Mr. Michael Rear. don. Since then they have largely added to its size and capabilities for work. They have $18,000 invested; and this fall they intend to commence the erection of a large three-storey building—which will render necessary an addition to the amount of their investment. They have now as much work on hand as they can perform. Be- sides the small orders they are constantly filling, they are building a thirtysfive horse power engine and boiler for McKinnon Bros., of the Brae; and a twenty-five horse power engine and boiler for Mr. Frank James, Head of St. Peter's Bay; and an- other engine and boiler, thirty horse power, for use at the westward.

It gives us great pleasure to note these indications of energy and enterprise. They show that our resources are about to be developed ; and that our manufacturers are beginning to trust one another and to assist one another. This is good. Our people should buy at home,—if they can ob- tain articles of home manufacture as cheap and good as can be obtained abroad. “Prince Edward Island first; Canada next; the world last,”’ should be the purchaser’s motto. We believe thatif people would always ‘“‘look at home” they would find it unnecessary to go abroad for very many ar- ticles imported, with duties and freights and dealers profits tacked on to their prices. The following paragraph from the Toronto Nation is in this connection worthy of note :—

Scientific economists constantly argue on the hypothesis that the world is a single community, and that it consequently mat- ters nothing whether you deal with a pro- ducer in the next street or with one at the other side of the globe; but this hypoth. esis, though it may possibly be realized in the future, is at variance with present | facts. Nobody can be persuaded by any scientific demonstration that, under the present circumstances of the world, to send the workman his dinner across the Atlantic and fetch his cloth back is as advantageous as it would be to have him here, consuming the products of the farmer on the spot and paying the farmer the price without any reduction for the cost of carriage. That the expenditure of human labour in in carrying things to and fro across the ocean, is a benefit in itself, will not be ex- plicitly asserted, though the tacit assump- tion that it is so lies at the foundation of much that is said about the bad effects of a protective system on the mercantile marine. To keep needless ships is no more advantageous to a nation than to keep needless wagons is advantageous to the farmer.

We trust that the “ Esdale Foundry” will be well patronized in the future ; and its industrious enterprising proprietors amply rewarded for their labors.

Liseratity.—Mr. John Newson gave the hands employed in his Furniture Factory a very pleasant excursion to the Sea-side Hotel, on Tuesday, the 27th inst. Dinner and tea in the very best style of that ex- cellent house, were provided for the twentye men and boys. During the day they amused themselves at gunning, boating, lobstering, playing at bowls, quoits and croquet, and in the evening were entertain- ed with music and singing. The day’s hearty enjoyment was wound up by giving three cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Newson and the Sea-side Hotel. The excursionists returned to town well pleased with their holiday. — Patriot.

QUEENS COUNTY CA (TLE SUOW,

Tux annual show of farm stock and farms ing imp'ements, for Queen’s County, took place at Holland Grove, in this city, on Friday last, Although there were signs of rain in the morning, the day proved fine, and the attendance was large. The show was—considering the poor inducements held out—creditable to Queen’s County. Many very fine animals were shown ; and it was evident that our farmers are now giving much more attention to the breeds |

We have not the slightest doubt, howevery that, had the prizes offered been considered worth competing for, 2 much greater vari- ety of first-class stock would have been exhibited.

HORSES.

The horses shown were not, we think, much better than those of last year. Jor the competition of carriage stallions, six good specimens were exhibited. A very fine chestnut, three years old, sired by Bush Messenger, and owned by Mr. Charles McNutt, took the first prize. A black horse, five years old, sired by English Blood, and owned by Mr. Duncan McLaren, carried off the second, The third fell toa black horse, three years old, sired by Bush Messenger, and owned by Mr. John Ken- nedy, Brackley Point Road. Mr. Pieree Costelio, Mr. George Clow, junr., and Dr. Jenkins—all noted horse fanciers —exhibit- ed fine animals in this competition. Five cart stallions were entered. The first prize, in this competition, was awarded a black horse, three years old, weighing 1642 lbs., sired by Clyde, and owned by Mr. George Clow. The second prize fell to a fine black chestnut, three years old, weighing 1660, sired by Champion, and owned by Hon. J. C. Pope. The third was taken by a horse five years old, weighing 1500 lbs., sired by Prince Edward, and owned by George Clow, junr. Mr. William Darke exhibited a grey horse, three years old, weighing 150) lbs., sired by Goldfinder, and Mr. L. McQuarrie, a dark brown, four years old, sired by the Stockman Horse, and weighing 1546 lbs. Both the latter were fine animals, although they did not take prizes.

CART COLTS.

There were only two entries of colts un. der three years ofage. A grey, two years old, weighing 1392 lbs., and owned by Mr.

Southport She is two years and four months old, and weighs 1230 is.. The

show of cows and calves was exceptionally fine. short horn calves whiec’:, could hardly be excelled. A bull calf of his —purehased by Mr, FitcSimmons—of New London, wanting ten days of being six months old, weighed fine calves were shown. of the Government ;arm

tlake's heifer was reared by Hi. Beer, Esq.,

Hon. J. C. Pope exhibited three for size and beauty,

575 lbs. Other very Some of the stock

were on the

grounds, and gave evidence of the benefit

|ing and care of stock than heretofore. of care and good breeding.

SHEEP,

Some. very fine sheep were shown, Messrs, II, Longworth, B. E. Wright, J. W. Holman and Hon. J. C. Pope obtained all the prizes for those reared in the Royalty. The prize takers outside the Royalty, were owned by Messrs. George Hetherley» George Bryenton, A. Boswall, William Rat- trey, J). W. Johnston, and C. J. Haszard.

PIGS.

The show of pigs was also good. A magnificent porker, owned by Mr. W, Ings Lot 49, had to be slaughtered on the way, as it was smothering. I. Beer, Esq., ex- hibited two very fine pure bred White Chester pigs imported from Pennsylvania. A breeding sow, from St. Dunstan's Col- lege, was much admired. Isaac Thompson and Alex. Robertson exhibited

Messrs.

very fine animals: FARM IMPLEMEN.S, Potatoe Diggers were exhibited by Messrs. Peter Stewart, East River, D. Me-

Rackem, city. Some of these were im- provements on any hitherto shown. The judges could not,however,see their way clear to decide who should obtain the prize uatil the implements were tried. Mr. J. Prowse, Royalty, obtained the prize for a new and improved set of harrows— also for a com- bined horse hoe and moulding plough. SALE OF STOCK.

William Prowse, took the first prize ; and a dark brown, two years old, weight | 1312 lbs,, sired by Dexter, the second.

CART FILLIES. In the competition of Cart Fillies, ander | three years old there were six entries. A red filly, two years and four months old, weighing 1324 lbs., sired by Gladstone, and owned by Stephen Bovyer, Esq., Lot 48, took the first prize. A roan, two years and four months old, weighing 1304 lbs., owned by Mr. D. McMillan, took the sec- ond—and a red, two years and four months old, sired by Champion, weighing 1185 lbs., and owned by Mr. George Livingstone, the third.

BLOOD COLTS.

In this competition there was but one entry ; and that of a rather poor specimen. No prise was awarded.

BLOOD FILLIES.

There were five entries for this competi- tion; but in most of these the blood was not very pronounced. A black, sired by Young Roland, and owned by Henry Beer, Esq., of Southport, was, by all odds, the best, and took the first prize. A light red, owned by Benj. Mutch, took the second. and'a two year old, owned by Mr. Joseph Praught, the third.

YEARLINGS.

In the competition of year old cart celts six entered. Two of these were exceedingly fine animals. Tho rest were medicore. The first prize fell to an iron grey, weighing 1045 lbs., sired by Gladstone and owned by Mr. John McLean, of Clyde River. The sec ond place was taken by a first-class animal weighing 960 lbs. and owned by Mr. Thomas Heartz. The third was awarded a colt weighing 879 lbs., sired by Gladstone and owned by Mr. Daniel McKinnon. The year. ling bloods exhibited, were rather a poor lot. The first prize was awarded a lively sorrel sired by ‘‘ King Bird,’’ and owned by Benj. Wright, Esq. Of blood yearling fillies, three only entered. The first prize fell toa sorrel owned by Robt. Longworth, Esq. A promising black, owned by H. Beer, Esq., eame next. (Of yearling cart fillies only two entered. In the competition of carriage yearlings, a remarkably fine filly 16 months old, sired by Blucher and owned by Mr. James Miller, is worthy of special mention.

CARRIAGE FILLIES.

The show of carriage Fillies three years old, was the largest and best we remember to have seen. There were seventeen entri- es; and all fine showy animals. A black 2 years and 2 months oid, sired by “ Young Roland,’’ and owned by Mr. John Acorn, took the first prize; a red 2 years and 4 months old, sired by ‘‘ Franklin’ and owned by Mr. John McMullin, Bracklay Point Road, the second, and an‘iron grey 2 years and 3 months old, owned by Mr. John McGougan, the third.

MARES AND FOALS,

Of carriage mares with their foals the show was good. Messrs. W. Cairns, Nor- man Campbell, William Dodd, Alex. Dar- ragh, Alex.Scott, Allen Rogerson, J. Smith, John Stewart, John Cullen, Chas. Stewart, Samuel Lane, Dr. Jenkins, Rev. James Mc. Donald, and Mr. McMilian each exhibited very fine mares with their foals. Messrs Chas. Stewart, John Stewart and Samuel Lane were the prizo takers. Of Blood Mares with their foals, the number was less. James Dixon, Esq., obtained the first prize, Albert Boswel, the second, and George Wright the third. The other competitors were Dr. Jenkins, D. Davies, M. P., John Kennedy and Allen McPhee, The colts, in this com~ petition, were, generally, very pretty. For the best cart mare with her foal, Hon. J. C, Pope obtained the first prize His mare and foal weighed 1900 lbs. —over 400 lbs, more than any of the others exhibited. Mr. Alex. Martin carried off the second prise in this competition and Mr. Martin Collins the third. The other competitors were Messrs. Russel Coles, George Lewis, James Miller, John Scott, Alex. Darrach and George Hooper.

IMPORTED STALLIONS.

The three English horses recently import- ed by the Stock Farm Commissioners were on the grounds during the day. They were the objects of much comment. The mag- nificent dark brown draft horse was gener- aliy admired —and is evidently the favorite. He has greatly improved since his arrival.

In the others the improvement is not so pronounced.

CATTLE.

Though the number of animals exhibited was not, we think, larger than usual, the improvement, in point of quality was very apparent. The short horn Durham bull, exhibited by Mr. Jeremiah Murphy, China Point, Lot 50, is a very fine animal, and scarcely less so is the short horn exhibited by Alex. McRae, Esq,Lot 49. The Ayrshire bulls belonging to Mr. James Mutch, Lot 48, and Mr. Matthew Doyle, South Shore, are good specimens. The heifers exhibited by Mr. George Davies, Russel

Other stock—belonging to private indi- viduals—was offered, but the competition was not keen, and few sales were made, A prize blood foal out of Mr. Dixon’s

John H. Gates, of this city for $40. SALES IN THE OTHER COUNTIES. At Georgetown. on the 6th inst., the following stock from the Government Farm will be so!d by auction -

1 draft colt.

1 heifer, short horn, 3 years old, in calf by Canadian Bull.

4 rams and 2 ewe lambs.

At Summerside, on the 18th inst,, the following pure bred stock will be sold by auction, viz : ;

1 horse colt (draft),

1 3 year old heifer (Ayrshire).

4 rams and 2 ewe lambs.

IMPROVEMENTS.

The Exhibition passed off very satisfac torily. It was under the superintenden of Judge Hensley, Charles Haszard, Esq., one or two other Commissioners, and A. MeNeill, Esq., their experienced and capx able secretary. Dr. Jenkin’s and H. Long- worth, Esq., were absent from the Island and they were missed. Several improve- ments in the arrangements--the result of experience — were this year introduced. The cattle were ranged around a temporary fence, so placed that the judges could read. ily inspect them; tickets red, white, and yellow,—indicating first, second and _ third prizes - were provided the judges who had them attached t9 the prize stock. This prevented any m:sapprehension on the part of the owners of the animals entered. There is, however, room for further im. provements. The grounds Grove are rather small, and not very suits able for an exhibition, Covered sheds for sheep, calves, etc., in case of rain, should be provided. We, with many others, think a larger show ground should be chtained; and that sheds, pens, et¢., should be erects ed on it.
