-hoice entries were made, even subsequent co the formal opening; and the large con: course of visitors, assembled in the Hxhibi- tion Building on Wednesday afternoon, saw a representation of oroducts fairly worthy of the refined city of Halifax, THR EXHIBITION GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. Before speaking of the things exhibited it may be well to say a few words about the olace at which the exhibition 1s held and the manner of helding it. All who know where the very beantiful public gardens of Halifax are situated, will have no difficulty in ** locating” the Exhibition. A large level field, well fenced, with « course for showing off horses to advantage on the Western side; sheds or erections, for the protection of all kinds of farm animals, across the middle; a large, commodious and handsome build-

ing for the display of articles on exhibition, | g )

at the eastern end; and a refreshment saloon a short distance to the southward, com- prise the ground and buildings. The total cust of the whole property was, it 1s said, (but of this Iam not certain) about $22,000, in Charlottetown it could be had for half the money; and if the Government would

but give the land, of which they have)

plenty, the outlay would be preport:o1- ately less. The corporation of Hali- fax have taken the matter in hand, and

they, it is reported, receive from the re- ceipts of exhibitions, from letting the

building for promenade concerts and fora rink, a fair profit on the. investment. Besides this, the citizens at large are bene- fitted. Numbers take advantage of the cheap excursions granted by the railway to go to the annual exhibition ; and while there they render contributions to the hackmen and the hotel-keepers, while they take the opportunity of buying frem the merchants and dealers of Halifax’ such articles as they may be in need ef. Could not Charlottetown, with advantage, imitate its elder sister in this regard?! Is there not sutticient enterprise and public spirit in Queen’s County to obtain exhibition grounds and pit up permanent build- ings, such as are to be found at almost e Canada! We shall see. OFF.

HANDS But apart from this, the way the Haligon- iams have of showing fruit, flowers and other articles which it is undesirable to have stolen, could easily ind advantageous- ly be imitated. The apples, plams, grapes, ete., are placed in order on long tables of the ordinary height; and around each table, standing as high as the arm-pit, and about a yard from the table is a light single barred railing which, while admitting of a sufficiently glose inspection of the ar- ticles, gives visitors a practical and suggestive hint to keep their hands off. Of course, if any one is so bad as to steal, the railing would not prevent him from doing so, but notwithstanding the large crowds of all sorts of people present at the Halifax exhibition, and the temptation the luscious fruit, and brilliant flowers present- ed, we never heard that a single specimen was touched. We commend the light railing for fruit and flower tables to the attention of our board of Commissioners and their active Secretary.

THE FRUITY. And talking of fruit, the display in this de- partment was perhaps the most pleasing feature of the whole Exhibition. Whether for variety or quality the exhibition of fruit was fine. We all know what the Noya Scotia apples are; but here were grapes eqnal to those of France or Spain; besides many other varieties of fruit which we

are accustomed to obtain only from the |

This department, too, was exceedingly well supplied with specimens both from the coa- servatories of those who sell flowers and the wealthy and refined residents of the Nova Scotian metropolis.

BERDS.

Very choice and pretty specimens of birds were exhibited ; and the poultry show was a very fair one.

DOGS,

The deg show was one of the greatest at- tractions. Monstrous mastiffs, little mites of black and tan, the sleek grey hound, and the rough and ready terrier, the graye colley and the comical pug, the kindly spaniel and the surly bull, common dogs, rare dogs, swift dogs, slow dogs, useful dogs and ornamental dogs all were represented, It is evident that there are a good many dog fanciers in the sister Province.

THE FINE ARTS were very peorly represented, and only

To the Editor of the Baaminer.

According to custom, a ‘number of persons congregated in the corridor of the Post Office, this morning, waiting for the blinds to be raised and business commenced. ‘The clerks, who take as a signal the striking of the hour by the Court House clock, were awaiting the alarm, when it was discovered that the dial indicated five minutes past eight. oe

It seems that the person whose duty itis te keep the clock properly arranged, had allow- ed the alarm to remain unsounded, I have frequently noticed complaints in your paper in reference to this same clock, and censider it strange that such negligence on the part of an official should be permitted. At present it seems that the clock in question is more of a detriment than an aid.
