' They Give a Splendid Performance

! in the Lyceum.

The Engineers’ entertainment in the Ly- ceum last evening was witnessed by a fairly large audience; and thatthe programme prepared fir the occasion was sppreciated wasevidenced by the enthusiasm which prevailed. The barrel piering and fencing contests, the bayonet eaercises and other itexas of this charscter were all intereéting aud showed marked proficency, the sil

ver med. for foncing being captured by Lieutenant Lordly. The

mat drill by a squad under Lieutenant Lordiy was another interesting feature, aod the various evolutions were perform-~ ed ina elevermanner. The three tableaux were exceeding)y well managed and the arrangement left litle or nothing to be decired. The opening tableaux was entitled “@ritain aod America United,” a detachment from the Company being arranged in the fermof a pyramid, five | tiers high, surmounted by Lieut. Lordly waving the flags of the two nations, “The Last Stand,” the closing tableaux, was exceedingly realistic, and several thrilling scenes in the life of the seldier were presented. During this tableaux Buge Sergesnt Anderson sang “Let Me Like a Soidier Die,” in a manner which captivated the audience avd earned for him a rapturous encore. The youngest recruit in the service, Bugle Sergea vt Ball, was a conspicuous character cn the tage duriog the evening. The baad rendered several pleasing selections during the exercises, which were much appreciated. The erter~ tainment throughout reflected the greatest credit upon the promoters and corps gen~ erally; and upon their next appearance,

which it is understood will be for the Prince Edward Island Hospital, the attendance sbould be limited only by

the capacity of the house.

Yeslerday morning the wind changed, and the ice began to clear, releasing the steamer from her confinment. Last night the steamer was off Grand River, and this morning she proceeded to Georgetown. There was plenty of provis‘ous and coal on board, and «1! the offisers are well.

“There were no passengers on beard, al! baving landed off High Bank when the steamer firs: became fast and it was seen that there was no tmmeliate prospect ot release from ber ice prison.

Atnoon the steamer was in Georgetown harbor, about one and s half miles from the wharf making her way ‘hrough the ice. It was thought that she would be able to get up to her mooring place early in the afternoon.

She will not leave Georgetowa before Tuesday morning.

Mitchell Gratified.

Mr.

The Hon. Peter Mitchell expre:ses h's gratification at the appreciatory nctices which the press, in various parts of Canada have recently written about his work io convection with the bringing about of confederation. He rays: It is perhaps a little late in the day, but public men who serve their country are generally treated with neglect. The public has a short memory, and easily forgets the ben¢ fis which it receives from the efforts of those

to find that the man whoee efforts brought about confederation is not entirely forgott- en. I do not mean to say that confedera~ tion would never have come about had it not been for my work in turnng @ hostile msjority intoafavorable one in the space of four months,and this, not becau e of politics, one side or the other, but simply because of one man—a personality; but it might not have been brought about for along time—perbaps generations. And what would we be to-day were itnot for confederation? Where would our develop- ment be? How would we have found @ market for our products; a market in which we could borrow all the money we needed to carry on public worke ?

OUR WINTER MAIL SERVICE

The Delay Between Tor- menting and Aulac.

MONDAY’S MAILS TURN UP AT, BAY VERTE ON THURSDAY

| But Passengers by the Capes Route

go Right Through.

Mr, T. J. Ditton arrived here oz : Thureday evening, aud was visited by ; a representive of Tue Examiner on Friday. | He badu’t anything im parucular to say } concerning the dairy industry, except that 'P, E. L, seems to be makingas mech progress in that regard ae many localities, and more than some. But he had a i great deal to say regarding our mails and { passengers, and the service now afforded , by the Government.

“For instance,” said Mr. Dillon, “ihe mails which left here on Sunday evening ! last and which crossed at the Capes on! Monday, wereon the road between Bay} Verte and Aulac on Taoursday ~would probable be delivered at Aulacon Thurs- | day evening—while p? ssengers who cross- | ed at the same time went bytrain tc Sackville, and on to St. John and Halifax on Monday night.

“Again, the mals tnatleft here on |

} '

»

Tuesday evening sud crossed on Wednes- | day were seen ki :king about Joho Tucker’s Hote! barn on Thursday morning, wh le, ihe passengers who crossed On the same | day werein St. John or Halifax on the previous evening.

“ Further, the mails from the weet that were Janded at Aulac on Monday night were del vered at Capa Yormentine about three o’clock on Thursday morning, sud arrived hereon Thursdsy afternoon; tnd mails delivered at Aulae on Yuesday ar-} rived here today—Friday. This is the mail service which the business men of Prince Edward receive and are elmost persuaded to call gocd.

“ More than that,’ Mr. Dillon said, “I have good authority for stating that a mail-bag out of ihe P. E. Island mail was recently picked up upor the road !

“Apart from a!l accidents and storms, cur service is and has been lamentably sicw. I can show lots of complaints from consignees about bills of ladiag pot arriy- ing in time, and necessitating delay of goods acd extra expense in England, caused largely on account of the slowuess of the mails.

‘‘When the freight boats began carry- ipg the mails gratis, consignees began to get their letters on tine, and were eaved quay rent, etc., and the Guvernment waked up to the necessity of improved ocean mail accommodation and speed, and set about getting a better service.”

Mr. Dillon, himself, came down to Cape Tormentine by train on Wednesday, arriv- ing at 1030, after the boats for Cape Traverse had gone. So he was delayed until the next day.

He thinks that the forces of the Govern~ ment in respect to the carriage of male and passengers Ought ix winter to be con— centrated upon the Capesronte. Ifthie were Gone the public would obtain mach better accommodation, Frequen'ly it takes a passenger Jonger (0 come from Halifax to Charlotfetowa than it does to come from Vancouver to Halifax.

Mr. 3. A. Toombs avd Mrs. Toombs, Mre. Perkins, Mra. Loughran, and others coming to the Island a short time ago were detained at Pictou reveral days ; and then, after losing a lot of time and spend ing a deal of money,had to leave Pictou and come around hy the capes. If the service were conceutrated at the capes much time and money would be saved by passengers, | and a great deal of expence would besaved | by the Government.
