lent as usual, and there will be an competition in grain and other farm pro- duce.
Should the weather prove to be fine, the exhibition,will, undoubtedly, be a most suc- cessful one. The County Exhibitions of this year—particularly,; that of King’s—were better than those of previous years, and it is fitting that Exhibition should be in advance of anything of the
kind that we have had in Charlottetown. +0-e ——_—___-_—-
The “Few.” not the Many.
the Provincial
We honor men who honor their town and are quick toresent an injury done to it; and we readily insert the letters of Hon. Mr. Gordon and Mr. D. A. McKinnon, — though their criticism of Tae Examiner is severe, and, as we think, not quite just. They seem to have overlooked the follow. ing sentence in Tue Examiner of the 27th
inst ; y 4 . . . . ority of the spectators were, in appearance and behaviour, men and women of whom any ; country should be proud; bat a few who 4 lacked self-respect and self-control to keep them from drinking the stuff which is retailed by violaters of the law, acted like madmen.” i We conveyed as clearly as possible the impression that it was the “few,” not the many, not the people of Georgetown, who were responsible for the disgraceful occur- which the
Exhibition Commissioners and the people
rence which marred the credit
deserved for their eminently saccessful ex- hibition.
ee iter ager as
Mr. MeKinnon seems also to have over- looked THe Examiner’s statement of the fact that the exhibits ** were larger in uum-
ber and better than at any previous ex-
hibition.” We are free to admit that space in THE . EXAMINER was occupied in a recital of the disgraceful acts of the few, which would have been filled to greater advantage by a fuller report concerning the creditable ex- hibits of the many. But a disagreeable duty was forced upou Tue Examiner, and was performed. We should be very glad to avoid another such task, and if the people will but take effective measures to curtail the sale of strosg drink, it will be avoided.

"Exhibition Notes.
His Honor the Lievt.-Governor will for- mally declare the Exhibition open at 11 o'clock to-morrow.
Three electric light lamps will be placed on the cattle show grounds, and one in front of the exhibition building, and an- other in the centre. These, together with gas lamps and lights, will illuminate the building and grounds.
All the exhibits in the building, in every department, are filling up fast. The dis- play on the front table is something that astonishes everybody. It is pronounced equal to the best samples at any of the Nova Scotia exhibitions.
The exhibition building will be open to the public to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock and remain. open untill0p.m. The Cit- izens Band will supply chvice music with their new and improved instruments.
The judges on the exhibits (except live stock) are at work this afternoon.
Every available space in the building is taken up. On the whole, the exhibits are excellent.

The Mackerel Trade.
Boston, Sept. 28.—The situation in mackerel] shows no sign of improvement. Though better weather has prevailed lately, still the fishermen are meeting with no bet- ter success The New England fleet has landed 307 bbis. during the past week, of which 80 bbls. were North Bay mackerel. When the weather has permitted, a few mackerel have been taken off Minot’s Light, at the entrance to Boston Harbor, by throw-
ing bait, using the hook and line and set: ting the seine around the vessel. There ure a number of vessels now in the
North Bay reported to have from 50
to 250 bbls. each, but the fish are reported to be very shy of the hock and line. Some fresh mackerel
are being taken in the Cape weirs, and the vessels now arriving are bringing from 300 to 1,800 fish each. The total receipts of salt mackerel for the week have been nearly 2,000 bbls., including 1,004 bbls. from Prince Edward Island, 403 bbls. from Nova Scotia and 80 bbls. from Ireland. The last sales at Gloucester were at $27 for large shore mackerel, and $17 to $18 for small and medium, from vessels, with bbl. Bay mackerel sel! at $23. Here the market is frm at previous quotations. The jobbers are «juoting at : Large 3s, $20; medium 2s, $20; large 2s, $22 to $23; Bay shore Is, $24; extra shore 1s, $27 to $30; No. 2 shore mess, $24.50; extra shore mess, $28; extra bloater 1s, $32; bloater mess, $35.

Morgan has been murdered, and his father and sister dangerously wounded at Rostre- vbr, near Newry, with a shot-gun. The tragedy was the result of agrarian troubles. A neighbor of the murdered man named McCaffrey has been arrested on suspicion. Montreal, Sept. 28.—A party of 26 Chinamen, arrived from Boston, on their way from Vancouver, thence to China, where they will revisit their homes in Can- ton, which they left thirteen years ago They are traders and intend returning to America to extend their branches, if pos- sible, by establishing one in Montreal, tea in the latter case being a specialty. A special colonist car was placed at their dis- posal in which they proceeded on their journey per Winnipeg train last night. Canasonarig, N. Y., Sept. 28.—It is now known that only three persons were killed in the railway accident last night on the N. Y. Central road. Eight were badly and several others slightly injured. En- gineer Horth is now in the hospital and may die. He says he slowed up his train near Sprackers, thinking he. weuld crawl up on the section one At the scene of the accident is a sharp curve, and he didn’t see the first section until he was aimost upon it. He then applied the brakes. but they would not work. He did not jump but stood between the engine and the cab, where he was caught.
CoLoene, Sept. 29.—The Cologne Gazette ridicules the gossip about the appointment of a successor to Prince Bismarck. The chancellor, it says, is still powerful enough to protect his rights and defend himself against the attacks of unauthorized persous,
Beri, Sept. 29.—-By an explosion Saturday in Rhein Prussian colliery, Hom- burg on the Rhine, ten men were killed and several injured. Some of the injured men will die. An explosion in the ar- tillery laboratory at Spaudau, on Saturday, injured ten men and forty-two women. Betearave, Sept. 29. —Ex-Queen Natalie arrived here to-day. Her presence wads totally ignored by government officials, but she was received most enthusiastically by the crowds that thronged the streets through which she passed. This evening the city was illuminated and throngs of citizens are in the streets singing national hymns. The Russian Minister and all at- taches of the Russian embassy visited the ex-queen, remaining half an hour. The palace gates were closed during the day and guarded by troops.
Quesec, Sept. 28.—The inquest in the recent disaster closed this afternoon The wounded are all out of danger. Offers of relief have been received from New York and other American cities, as also from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and other Can- adian cities, but are held in abeyance until the action of the federal government has been revealed.
Another Letter From Georgetown.
Srr,—Your report of King’s County Ex- hibition, headed, ‘* Disgracetul conduct re- sulting from strong drink,’ etc. in deep, dark, large letters, is apt to mislead. True, two of our respected townsmen suffered from the acts of two disorderly men, and a few, some eight, were lodged in a lock-up. But is it just to the County to give more space and prominence to these little squabbles than to the Governor’s speech, or even to remarks on their splendid exhibits ? If so the public are lead to think these rows the chief feature of the exhibition, and to conclude that the people of King’s County are an uncultivated, half-civilized crowd who assemble yearly in their county town, notorious as your report would make it, for drunkenness and crime, where roughs rule the day. The effect of this will be to frighten people from coming to exhibitions in future, whereas the fact is, the most refined lady ia our land must have felt as safe and as gently treated as she could desire.
What are the facts? The County town is one of the best little places in this Pro- vince, and any one who runs it down should —to put it mildly—have a chestnut bell rang in his ear. That running down rhyme is 4+ale, and besides no one believes it. Those assembled there on exhibition day were } "incipally the thrifty and well- mannered farmers and artisans of King’s County. The day was just lovely, the gathering large, and the exhibits would do credit to any County. The exhibition was a decided success. The order was almost perfect, and this fact was the object of fre- quent comment and congratulation on the grounds.
The assessors of the town, co-operating with the Commissioners, provided special police to preserve order. The police did their duty quickly and well. Your old trained Ch’town policemen could not have done better. You know that when people put forth exertion that has resulted well, they expect some praise for it; but these big black letters throw our town and coun- ty into disrepute—and undeservedly at that. The Assessors and Commissioners deserve much praise for their excellent management, and their success is most encouraging for the future.
Another feature you have, I think, over- looked: the music discoursed by the Boys’ Band. This has a most refining influence on gatherings of this kind, and those pre- sent gave them merited praise for playing so well during the day.
Yours respectfully, D. A. Mackinnon, Georgetown, Sept. 28, 1889.
