XAMINER,

W. M.S. Convention.

The Convention of the N B and P El branch of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society met in the Methodist Church (brick) at 9.30 yesterday. There was a large num- ber of delegates present. The platform was beautifully decorated with flowers. The Pre- sident, Mrs. Macmichael, presided. The de- votional exercises were conducted by Mrs. Archibald, of Mt Allison College. An ad- dress of welcome was delivered by Mrs. Dr. Beer, of Charlottetown, and responded to by Mrs A Lucas, of Sussex, N B. Miss Thorne, of Fredericton, read the report of the Execu- tive Committee. After some farther business the meeting adjourned until the afternoon.

AFTERNOON Session. —The devotional exer cises at the afternoon session were conducted by Mrs. Kirby, of Winsloe. Subject for prayer; ‘* Promptness and Liberality.” After further reports from delegates greetings were received from sister societies. Mrs, DesBrisay | spoke on behalf of the Baptist W M S. Greetings were also received from the Char- lottetown W CT U. The Treasurer then read her report, which showed a large increase over last year. The meeting was pleasantly surprised during the reading ot this report by the entrance of two little girls, ‘* Dot” Hug- gan and * Dot” Robertson, carrying a large basket of flowers, presented by the Charlotte- town W C T U. A beautiful boquet was handed to the President, an‘ to each present. Miss Chipman then read the report of the Mission Band, which was followed by the Treasurer reading a paper on the ‘* Methods of Work,” by Mrs S E Briggs, and after the Corresponding Sec’ys Report, the meeting adjourned until 9.30 to-day,

Those who attended the public meeting in connection with the W. M. S. of the Methodist Church, held last ev ening, could not fail to be highly pleased.

After the devotional ¢ xercises, the Pre- sident gave a Sho spoke at some length of woman’s position—at the side of man, his heipmeet; of woman as the ;medium through which sin entered the |world; also the channel through which icame the life everlasting, and noted that among the many rebukes given by Christ not one was toa woman. She was sent by Him as His first missionary with the glad resurrection tidings. She poigted out very plainly the duty to heed the Saviour’s com- mand *‘ Goye.” In closing, she hoped so many would respond to that e’re long there should swell out the world over the glad angel anthem, ‘‘Peace on Earth,” sung by its ransomed nations.

Next came the report of ¢the Treasurer. She briefly stated the condition of the society which proved to be in a good state. She was followed by the corresponding

very fine address.

Secretary, who reported her work in a very pleasing manner. Then came an ad- dress by Mrs. Chipman of St. Stephen, on

Mission Bands, very suggestive and help ful. A recitation by Mrs W. A. Trueman ‘*Patchwork” was excellent. Then an original paper by Mrs, Archibald, of Mt. In closing,

Forjthe greater convenience o visitors, it has been !deemed a thelpresent exhibitionjon two cor and the managers hope that you and Mrs.

f competitorsiand

Carvell may not find it inopportune to visit | the Cattle Show, which takes place to-morrow |

on the spacious grounds of the Summerside | Driving Park. The number of entries made, | and the active interest taken in the depart-

ment of horses, cattle and other stock, justify | the belief that a much larger and better show of stock will be there displayed than those | found at any previous county fair.

In reviewing the fine display of horses | which we expect to see on the grounds, it may be suggested to your honor that a third class’ of these animals could be introduced with! much advantage. We have now the standard bred and the light carriage class, and a fair representation of the different breeds of heavy | draft horses ; bat the supply of horses suitas| ble for ceach and cavalry purposes is quite} limited, if not wholly absent. Ia this latter | description there is an ever-ready remunera-- tive demand. In times of peace (and may | this be always) they can be shipped with | better paying results than those now pro-; duced in this Province, while in times of war | and ‘‘ rumors of war” they command the very | highest figures.

We venture, therefore, to respectfully sug- | gest that your honor would be pleased to| bring this important matter to tie! notice of your government, with the view of | inducing them, through the medium of the| model farm or otherwise, to add this class to| the already well established reputation of our} province for horse raising.

Trusting that your honor may long be spared | to fill and exercise high positions in this pro- vince, and that you and Mrs, Carvell may enjoy your present visit to Prince County, we now request you to formally open this | Exhibition. On behalf of the Prince County Fair and Exhibition Association, we have the | honor to be,

Sir, your obed ent servants, Ricuakp Hunt, President. James Turi, DANIEL McDONALD, James BaRCLay, GILBERT DesRocuHEs, | GEORGE COMPTON, Micuaet H. McCay, | Joun M. BAKER,

j { i Directors. | | !

The Lieut.-Governor thanked the As-! sociation for their address and expressed his great regret that ill health had pre- vented him from replying at length. He, however, could not but congratulate the people of Prince County upon the forma- tion of a County Exhibition Association. This is, in his opinion, a step in the right direction, and he was very glad to see such a fine exhibition under its auspices for the first time. He said that he thought very highly of the efforts now being made to im- prove the character of carriage horses. There is money for this province in horses. We have had for many years exceptionally fine draft horses. It has for 25 years past been his strong desire to see the breeding of carriage and trotting horses developed to its fullest extent, and he had heard with gratification of the large gathering of thriving young trotters at Summerside a few days ago. The financesof the pro- vince may be greatly improved by attention to this branch of agriculture, and to im- prove our finances is, of course, the chief aim we have in view in holding these ex- hibitions. He heartily wishes the Prince County Exhibition Association success, and

now declares the exhibition open to the public.

by Mr. Brewer. Music was furnished by

The Races at Georgetown.

The races on the driving park yesterday afternoon were keenly contested, and were witneased bya large assemblage. ‘The track was in good condition when the 2.50 class was called, but when the horses were scoring for the third time in the first heat of this event, the rain began to fall, soften- ing the track somewhat and slightly de- laying the race. However, when the horses sent off, they did highly creditable

work. The judges were J. J, Davies, Charlotte-

This was the first race called. There were three starters, Harry Connolly's br. s. Harry C., George Hibbett’s b. g. Honest John ; and P. McKenua’s br. m. Maiden Queen. Maiden Queen was distanced for running in the first heat, and the balance of the race was between Harry C. and Honest John. Both horses were very evenly matched, and some splendid trott- ing was done. Below is the
