W ute the City Council remains ‘‘at sixes aud at sevens,” action with respect to the introduction of waterworks must necessarily be suspended, But there is no good reason why the law requiring the dry earth should not be rigorously enforced; and in view of the threatening attack of smallpox—to say nothing of other motives- —the Stipendiary Magistrate and the police should insist to the require-

one and yard for the other—irom any person who has it to dispose of, without regard to his political views or leauings. Furthermore, as a matter of fact, as well as Conservatives are employed.

What motive the Patriot can have in hitting at, and branding as untrust- worthy, Mr. Stewart and Mr, Fred. Morrow, both of whom are popular aud enterprising, aud neither of whom are, we believe, aggressive politicians—it is hard to i No doubt it is the duty—the teunden duty--of the Patriot to disparage and misrepresent every under- taking of the Government; aud he must, indeed, above the suspicion of jealous aod varrow-minded Grits, who accepts empleyment under the Government, and escapes ils calumnies.

We may remind the Patriot that it was, not the McKenzie Government, it was the late John Koight and others, who begar: work upon the Souris Break- water. That the McKenzie Government added to it ‘*‘at great expense” is true; but they built so badly that the first storm carried the priuvcipal part of their addition away, and had to be re- built onder the preseut regime

The Revising Officer for Queen's.

We have heard several expressions °f surprise at the commendatory mention by the Herald, of the name of Judge Alley in connection with the position of Revising Officer; and ‘‘A Voter’ in to- day's issue of THe ExamINer Calls at- tention to it.

“A Voter’ says, with truth, that Judge Alley’s record as a Revising Officer is not good. In 1878, Judge Alley was Revising Officer under thg Local Regis- tration Act, and hundreds of electors in Queen's County would have lost their votes in the Dominion Elections of that year, had not Judge Alley’s decision on an important point been reversed by the Supreme Court.

Let us recall the tacts. Judge Alley decided that no franchise vo'er who had not paid his polltax on or before the 18th of June, 1878, should have his name entered iu the Revised Voters’ List of that year; aud the consequence was—as we have already stated—that hundreds of voters, who were invested with the right to vote on payment of the amount of their assessment at apy time previous to the day of election, were, by that decision, distranchised, A peremr- tory mandamus was, however, issued by the Supreme Court, requiring Judge Alley to place upon the Voters’ Lists the names of ell franchise voters who had paid their poil tax; and Judge Alley was compelled to bow to the juster and more liberal judgment of the snperior Court.

There is little to add. We may, how- ever, say that under the new Franchise Act there is no appeal from the decisions of the Revising Officer, except in cases where ‘ the Revisivg Officer 1s not also a Judge of any Court”; and if Judge Alley be appointed now, his decisions will stand !

The Herald says it has yet to learn that Judge Aliey has in his decisions “ever displayed any partiality.” Weil, different persons will of course place differen’ interpretations upon the facts.

But if Judge Alley has not been guilty |

of “partiality,” he has at least given abundant evidence that his mind is at times dominated by legal technicalities,

'More About the Concert in Y. M. ! C. A. Hall.

Srr,—Although it is not generally con- sidered necessary, nor is it in good taste, to crilicise too closely performances which are given altogether in the interest of charity, yet when such things are undertaken, more ‘especially when under the control of a imusical director, are the public led to

expect something above the ordinary ; but on the oceasion referred to I feel satisfied that a large majority of those present were ‘greatly disappointed. I »Aave been led ito these remarks, not in the slightest idegree te be considered as_ wish- ling to detract from the merits of ‘the different performers, but simply after having read the account of the concert which appeared in your issue of the 26th ‘inst. The writer of that article evidéptly i'wonld have the public believe that the

leonecert in question was quite up to the

istandard of Charlottetown performances ; ‘but, in» my humble opinion, it was the weakest attempt that has been made for some time past. The arrangements were |} had throughout ; in fact, the want of ar- rangement was the chief characteristic of |the evening. The ladies who eo kindly jgave their assistance were aliowed to find | their way to and from the platform as best they could. At times Mr, Frieze did think

| } |

it necessary to regulate the piano whilst songs wore being rendered, but at other

times this important matter seemed to have escaped his attention much to the disadvan- tage of the singer. So far as the pro- vramme went the ‘‘songs vocal,” co use Mr. Freeze’s term, were all good, but particular- ly was I charwed with Mrs. Bell’s song, the rendition of which displayed a sweet voices under perfect control, and her accom paniment played by Miss Heidenreich, was all that could be dasired. Mr. Vinnicombe, 1s usual, delighted the audience; and Mr. |Tanton played fairly well, but lacked gentleness of touch, without which he never can rank as a good pianist. But why did not the musical Director so order things that the monotony of ‘‘songs vocal,’ ete., might have been relieved by a good chorns or two, such as we hare been accustomed to hear. While on this eubject it may not lhe out of place to state thatthe Y. M. C. A. Hall is a disgrace to those who con- trol it. The walls are tinted, it would ; appear, with a mixture made from the mud on ovr streets, the gas fixtures are of the commonest kind and generally only half used, the benches, in order to hide last year’s dust, have evidently been coated over with LePage’s Liquid Glue, so that it requires great caution and considerable wriggling to extricate one’s self when wish- ing to leave the Hall. How long yet are the people of this town going to be without a proper Music Hall? Thanking you for your space, Mr. Editor, I remain, etc., Proressor THaw.

Judge Alley and the “ Herald.”

Sir,—The Editor of the Herald, in an article in his editorial columns, mokes an effort to patronize Judge Alley and to secure the appointment of Revising Officers for him under the new Franchise Act. Now, sir, if, as the Herald Editor states,— ‘“*that some irresponsible parties connected with the Liberal-Conservative party are wire-pulling,” why, I ask, need he express such grave fears if—as he states they are, srresponsible? Surely their political in- fluence will be of such an _ irresponsible nature es not to have much weight or effect. However, it almost appears as though the ob}cct in adverting to the matter is simply to prematurely ‘sound Judge Alley’s trumpet with a view of giving him a prior claim to any other barrister. We have yet to learn that either Judge Alley or the other County Judges have any peculiar or special claim to the appointment. Besides, Judge Alley’s record is not good.

As the new Franchise Act sets forth that any competent and efficient Barrister can act as Revising Officer, the public know, and the editor of the Herald must be aware, that there are barristers in P, E. Island just as competent to fill the position as either of the County Court Judges, and I |haszard the assertion .in stating, just as competent, at least the public think so, and will not be the least indignant or surprised, if Revising Barristers are appointed independent of the County Court Judges who are already very well provided for. Kindly insert,

Yours &c., A VorTer.

Cricket.

|

Sir,— There is an article in the Patriot headed ‘‘Cricket,” over the eignature of “Old Cricketer.” The writer must be either a lunatic or one who has not th: slightest eppreciation of the truth. Dr. Jenkins did not get up the match and had nothing whatever to do with it further than | to allow his name to be added to the eleven. | “Old Cricketer” says ‘‘that Dr. Jenkins ia | an enthusiastic cricketer, is a good master | of the field and fag, but his performances j at the bat is uncertain.” If the writer hal |@iy disposition to ascertain the facts he ;conld have eresn by the old score beok that Dr. Jenkins’ average at the wicket is very much higher than that of any other cricketer; and he would also have seen by ‘the score book of 1878 that the Dr., who had not played for several years. made an average of 19 per innings, whereas the next highest score was 14, a difference of over 30 per cent. The i!!-feeling towards Dr. Jenkins is shown by the allusion to the Troro J» atch, in which his name is not mentioned, though he made the top score on that oceasion, having put together more rups then the combined score of the cricketers;named, ‘‘whose steady play gave us the victory.” In the first match with Pictou, Dr. Jenkins also made the top

;

score, so that his batting is not so very uncertain. People who have no knowledge of fects should have sense

enough to keep out of print and not make themselves ridiculous. In the list para- graph he mentions Captain Davies, who was not Captain. We presume ho means Louis H. Davies as having obtained a cypher in the match with the W.oderers, | In this he is again wrong as he obtained 2 (in the first innings, and « cypher in the match with the «ld cricketers,

The Coming Actors.

Sir.—Through the columns of your journal I wish to testify to the ability and high character of Mr. Murphy, the cele- brated Irish comedian and vocalist, and the talented young actress, Miss Ida Bur- rows, who so ably supports him. They appear this evening at the Academy of Masic in ‘'Kerry Gow,” a popular Irish drama, written by Fred. Marsden. Mr, Murphy and his company have played it with great success several seasons at the Grand Opera House, one of the leading theatres of New York city. My advice to theatre goers is: Don’t fail to see it.

Ch’town, Sept. 28'h, 1885.

The Georgetown Regatta. Tues regatta at Georgetown, on Saturday last, was in every respect a very successful and satisfactory one. The day was beauti- fully fine, with a fresh breezs blowing from the south-west. A number of people wit- nessed the different races from the wharves. About twenty five or thirty boats at- tended, and twelve entered, viz.: Flying Cloud, Genesta, Carita, William, Wander- er, Young Henry, Puritan, Sea Foam, Swan, Island Queen, Maud and Eddy.

The first prize in the first race was won by the Genesta, Capt. Jas. Hemphiel, and the second prize by Island Queen, Capt. Allan. Young Henry was the second boat to cross the line, but through an error in turning the buoy from the wrong side lost the prize.

In the second race, the Puritan, Capt. Job Hemphiel, won first place, followed closely by the Flying Cioud, Capt. Thorn- ton, who won second prize. The race for beaten boats was won by the cat-boat Carita. All the boats showed good speed, apd were well handled by their respective captains,

Thanks of the boatmen are due to the parties who interested themselves in getting up the regatta, and to Capt. Malcolin Me- Donald, James Bourke and William San- derson, Esqs., the Judges, for the trouble and interest they took in the matter.

ls te = ge The ‘Kerry Gow.”

Me. J. S Morpay will arrive this even- ing, an’ perform the ‘‘Kerry Gow” at the Academy of Music, at 8 o’cleck. The St. John Telegraph, of the performance in that city, says :—‘*An audience that filled the Institute from ‘cellar to garret’ (many Leing obliged to stand for lack of room) witneseed

the first presentation of ‘Kerry Gow’ last evening and langhed for twoand a half hours at the comical situations. Joseph

Murphy stands at the head of the Irish comedians who have visited St. John, and is justly deserving of his fame achieved elsewhere. As the ‘Kerry Gow’ he is the life of that play, whether it is in his singing or sustaining the comedy element with which the drama abounds. While there are many striking scenes, they do not border on the sensational, but are of such strength as to maintain the interest and keep itat a high pitch. The scene in the black- smith shop,where a horse is shod, was one of the best ; the arrival of the carrier pigeons, giving details of the race, was something novel and drew tremendous applause, The piece moved without the slightest hitch as though it had been played for months on the stage here. The two leading characters Dan O'Hara enacted by Mr. Murphy and Nora Drew by Miss Burrows, cariied the greater burden of the piece on their shoulders, and certainly deserved well of the audience, which embraced every oppor- tunity to testify to their approval. Mr. Courtuey as Raymond Drew; Hairy Sin- clair as Major Gruff, Mr. Donaldson as Valentine” Hay the vulture, and Mr. Poland, as Patrick Deew, lent effective support. Kerry Gow ia a play that will be loved at first sight and grows in interest with acquaintance, being full of pure, bright and sparkling fun.”
