JANUARY 25, Dector Doyle

Or all the honors that have been paid to Father Doyle on the occasion of his Silver Jubilee, that which will, perhaps, be most gratifying to his friends and himself, is the distinction conferred by Laval University. however

Most of the work of a clergyman,

well performed, goes unrewarded in this

world. The word of encouragement, the gentle admonition and good advice, the

stern rebuke, the prayers, the preachings,

are not always followed by results that are

seen and appreciated. A minister of the gospel cannot, like the farmer and mer chant, count his gains. He must, neces sarily, often feel discouraged by the know ledge that the good seed he has scatte red has fallen upon stony and barren ground. appreciation, showing

his work as a priest has been recognized, not

alone by his parishoners, but by a seat of

learning and piety in his church such as

Laval University, and that, as a conse-

Dear Reverenp Fatuer, —lhe Altar boys} Paul’s Church, have received so many favors at your hands, the privilege with the different Societies and the people of the other parishes of offering you their congratulations and good wishes on this joyous festival. Little more than this we are able todo. Boys are not often over- burdened with what the world calis means, and we are no exception te the rule; but what little cash we could get together we have put into this gift, which we beg you to accept, and are only sorry itis not what our hearts would make it. Deign, dear Father, to look kindly upon our humble offering, and to give us @ place in your fatherly heart, so fall of happi- ness to-day.

THE EXCURSION TO KINKORA,.

After the banquet the guests were con- veyed to the station, where a special train, in charge of Conductor O’Connor, was in waiting to carry them to Kinkora. St. Dunstan's Band accompanied the exe ir- sionists. The run through to Kinkora was exceedingly pleasant, the time being passed in social converse, singing, ete. On arrival at Kinkora the party were met at the sta- tion by au iinmmense number of people and escorted to the Parochial House. Here Rev. A. E. Burke addressed the people, in- troducing Bishop MelIntyre, Dr. Doyle, Premier Sullivan and Hon. John Lefurgey, all of whom made speeches. At the con- clusion of the speeches cheers were given forthe Bishop, Dr. Doyle, the Premier and the Queen, after which the guests sat down to tea.

THE RETURN TO SUMMERSIDE.

After tea and amusement the party returned to Summerside accompanied by several hundred people from Kinkera. On arriving at the station they entered sleighs in waiting, and were escorted by a torch- light procession through the principal streets to the Presbytery.

THE PROCESSION AND ILLUMINATION,

Both torch-light procession and Ulumina- tion were without doubt thegreatest displays of the kind ever seen in Prince County, if not on the Island. It is computed_ that there were not less than four hundred torches in the procession. Mr. Frizzle was the Chief Marshal, and he had an able as- sistant in the person of Mr. Renouf. Both were mounted on handsome chargers, and presentedadashing appearance. All the pub- lic buildings, stores, houses, etc., along the route were profusely illuminated. Many of the designs were exceedingly unique and well worthy of special mention, but we have not space to particularize. St. Paul’s Church and the Convent were also brilliant- ly lighted up, the three arches in front of the church looking especially pretty with their illuminated inscriptions. In front of the Presbytery there was a grand display of fireworks.

THE FINALE.

Shortly after the arrival of the proces- sion at the Presbytery, torches were grour- ed and Dr. Doyle briefly addressed those present. He referred to the imposing nature and magnificence of the display, and tothe good feeling existing between himself and the people of the parish—both Catholic and Protestant. He trusted that this good feeling among the different religious denominations would increase as the years rolled on, and, in conclusion, said he hoped that all would ineet hereafter in Heaven. After supper at the Prespbytery, most of the guests left for home in the specia) train which arrived at Charlottetown about 11.30 last night.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.

Following are the names of the gentle- men composing the executive committee, and who worked hard to make the demon- stration a success: —Captain McKinnon, P. T. Fanning, John Strong, Charles Murphy, John Harrington, Albert Gaudet, Peter Gallant, Frank Perry, William Shea, C. Cairns, James McNeill, Patrick Ryan and Frederick Madonald. The entire manage ment of the demonstration was in the hands of Rev. A. E. Burke, and to his exertions is largely due the successful carrying out of the arrangements. The ladies of the convent also deserve every praise for their good work decorating, ete.

We have to congratulate the people of Summerside upon the great success of the demonstration, and the Rev. Dr. Doyle upon his popularity. The celebration was not confined to any one class or creed, but was the spontaneous offering of an appre- ciative people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

—_-@————

Mr. Earie’s Concert.

Sr1r,—Mr. Earle’s Concert has received more than ordinary comment in your columns, and this, 1 venture to think, is well deserved, for the Concert was, as far as I am capable of judging, an exceptionally good one.

Your stringent remarks as to the audience below wight have been made even nfcore appropriate if you had followed Orpheus in his search for his lost Eurydice ; and while I see the propriety of denouncing anyone mean enough to steal the Concert, I cannot but foresee a difficulty in preventing sub- scribers from using the raading room at any time they may wish. However, this is neither my business nor the object of this letter, which I write to express some surpriso that neither ycur critic nor my friend Mr. Harris were sufticiently dis- | turbed by the disorderly conduct of a part of the audience to think it worth while ‘o comucnut upon it. The ‘appreciative ability” which Mr. Harris speaks of being an evidence of refinement, should not be! looked for until we can congratulate our.) selves that our concert-going public has} ceased to be obtrusive'y iUl-behaved ; but, | while | concede that Mr. Harris has good! ground for recognizing the existence of a! faculty of appreciating and enjoying god) music ina large part of the general concert | audience, I must deplore the fact that! every music lovers enjoyment is now. almost invariably marred by the) ill behavior, not of children, but of. a few persons a little superior to them in| years, but vastly inferior in deportment. We always wax very cross if a stranger ventures to denounce us in any way, at

when our habits are called into questien by |

visitors to our *‘ tight litt!e Island;” but 1) doubt whether such ** cat calls” and shrill, whistling, pounding of wood-work and gen-| eral rowdyism would be tolerated in a con-. cert room anywhere else where a police force could be called into requisition. Yet even morefannoying}than this is the too fre- quently heard4, incessantly maintained, loud conversation of some habitual concert-goers. | Granted that it is rude to talk while any- one is addressing you through the medium of music, it would be straining a point to complain about an occasional remark being made; but when people distract all their neighbors by their childish and annoying) conversation, as many did on Tuesday

might, it ts time tu ask the uranager Uf any

|

—

future concerts to see that some person in aithority be stationed midway down tle hall, who will promptly call public atten- tion to such rude behaviour as has be n only to general of late. Otherwise I am afraid Mr. Earle and others who contribute to our musical enjoyment will gradually find their concert halls in undisputed poe- session of this class of irritants. Lastly, could no steps be taken to prevent the i- reverent and general rush to the doors which ensues upon the sound of the first note of ** God Save tie Queen?’ Very in- convenient to the majority of the audience very rude towards the performers, ard mort irreverent to the A mighty. to whom the prayer is addressed,—the boyish and undignified conduct ought to be remedied by @ request from the platform, or call f r a disuse of what should command the re- spect of any orderly public, and be listen d to with silent reverence. Musicvs.

Kir. Earle’s Conce: t.

Srk,—The account of Mr. Earle’s concert in your paper of Wednesday evening wag somewhat graphic, owing to a considerable space being taken up in * reminding” all individuals who were in the reading room below of their trespass on that occasion. Are persons to understand that when there is an entertainment or a concert in the hall above that there is no admission to the reading room below? Your paper rather favors that idea when it says: ‘* The audi- ence in the hall was large, but not much larger, we are told, than that assembled ia the reading room below; . . . pleasy4 Orpheus to touch the lyre for the delecta- tion of beasts. . . . But the evasion of the admission fee by those below,” ete.

Now, Sir, that does not speak in very complimentary terms of ladies and geutle- men then in the reading room perusing the dailies or other periodicals.

Charlottetown society may not, per- chance, be up to the standard in every re- specr, but it would have to be greatly redaced befrre it could be truly said that all the persons present in the reading room on that cccasion met there with the inten- tion of ** drinking in” the melodious straing

Of Orpheus, and were to be classed among

beasts and reptiles. Yours, &c., ReEapER. Jan. 24, 1889,
