P. H. A. ANNUAL
Nllif MEETING
T°m°"`0W ‘m0l`lllUi»!. in Charlotte- t0Wll. commences tho most important °V°“t *ll U10 Yer-ll' for riilcmeii of this Province,-tlie annual prize meeting of the Provincial Rifle Association of Prince Edward Island. This will be the flfll'-third meeting of the kind that has been held here under the aus- pices of the Association. There are indications that this year’s meeting will be unusually interesting, unusu- ally successful. In the first place, never before in the history of rifle shooting on this Island has anything like* such an amount -been distributed at a prize meeting as will be given out at this meeting, with the excep_ tion of that of 1912. Although in making such a large prize-list last year, the Association found itself on the wrong side of the balance sheet, it has again decided to offer the same large number of prizes. Over $1,350 is to be distributed in prize money, representing over 500 prizes, varying in value from $25, which is the first prize of the most important competi- tion-theFrank R. Heartz Match--to $1. It might be mentioned as proof of the 'great sfforts made by the As- soclation to provide every inducement to riflemen, that it distributes in this prize-list as much money as is distri- buted at 'the 'Provincial meeting in New Brunswick. Yet the grant the Dominion Government makes to the P. E. I. Association is considerably less than its grant to the New Bruns- wick Association. And, further, it costs a rlileman to enter for the P. E. I. annual meeting just about half what it would cost him to enter for either the New Brunswick or Nova Scotia meetings.
Besides the attraction of the large prize-list, the number and variety of competitions make added inducement for the enthusiastic rlfieman. Thus there is every indication of a large

Frequent riots between these hos-

Captain Copper thereupon ordered a general disarming, but thc fighting continued with whatever mls- sile was at hand. Then the nationalities were scill1l`lll¢‘ ed into groups, but on meeting for meals the battle was resumed. As a precautionary measure, the stewards removed knives and forks from _thc tablcs and all the stcerugc passeng- ers, of whom there were 1,121, had to cnt with spoons. `

every hope that the numbcr this year will be greater. With prospects then of many competitors and consequent- ly greater competition, it seems that it remains only for fine weather to complete the auspicious elements which will go to make the meeting a. huge success.
NEW FEATURES.
There arc some additional features of interest in this ycar’s meeting. Especially is this the case regarding the ty-rcs, who are defined as those competitors who have never won a prize greater than $2 at any previ- ous prize-meeting of the P. E. I. P. ll. A. Through the generosity of Lieut.-Colonc1_ Brown, the tyro who wins the tyro aggregate gets a free trip to the Ottawa prize meeting-
Then there is an interest all its own
iii thc fact that at the meeting the new pointed mark VII ammunition will be used for the first time in this Province. lt is claimed for this point- ed bullet that it gives greater accu- racy and riflemen one and all are’ looking forward to testing that claim. The new ammunition of course with its difference of trajectory will make n difference in the 0l9.VMll0ll Ol shooting and riflemen will have to keep their weather eye open in this regard. The Council of the P. R. A., however, has with considerable thoughtfulness, included in their printed program of the meeting W0 approximate elevations required l0l‘ the new (mark VII) ammunition and makes a comparison for the bencllf- of rmsmsn with the approximate ele- vations required for the mark VI Bm- munition- which has been in use up to

REGAINED SPEECH
'IN CRICKET MATCH.
LoNooN, Aug. 9.-After being
dumb for _ten years, a. Leeds youth found the power of speech restored to.. him yesterday darling tho excitementf of a cricket match. Not less remark- able was the boy's conduct in con- cealing the restoration of speech, from all around him, until he had written a letter to his mother tdlllngl the news.
The youth while trying to steal aI
run found himself trying to shout. Hs even thought he heard his own voice and much puzzled stole away to the woods after the match was over and there in solitude found that his voice was really restored. For a long time he remained talking to himself and shouting with delight went back and without letting any- one know what happened wrote his mother.
I-Ie became dumb after an attack of
influenza ten years ago. His doctor predicted that he would probably re- gain his speech even after the lapse
of years. '

MONCTON, Aug. ii.-The people of
'the maritime provinces will find, when the new freight tariffs of the Intercolonial railway are finally an- nounced, which will Le in a week qt ten days, that they are receiving a fair rate. lt is_announced that after a review of the rate adjustments, re- sulting irom the revised freight sched- ules adonted by the late board, the management of the Intercolonial railway have reached the conclusion that some modifications are desirable in some of the schedlues, partirular- ly those affecting the movement of some of the lower priced commodities or where too great a disturbance of U10 COIl1lIl8I‘Clal conditions has result- ed from the present schedules. The statement in this connection .that has become available to the ,Canadian Press contlnuesz-
“Many persons directly interested
in these shipping propositions, and the freight rates, were consultled. The shipping condit,ons and the re- quirements were placed before the railway representatives who had the matter in baud, in a most reasonable fair-minded manner, and the revisions are being put into effect after the re- presentations of the shippers have been carefully enquired into and ana- lyzed by. tire traffic officer of the rail- way. _
“The rates on live stock under the
revised schedules, now in course of preparation, will be increased but lit- tle, if any, over these in effect prior to May first last. ,Wlillc the revised schedules on lumber will provide for a small advance per car, the amount of such will be ~,reduced to a figure more in accord with existing market conditions.
“It was found that all were wflliiig
to admit that som`e reasonable in- crease in the former low rates was necessary to enable the railway to meet the continually increasing cost of operation and to assist in bring- ing the service to a still higher stan- dard of excellence.
"The actual changes will be nn-
noun-lced iii the tariffs of the railway as soon as the detail work can be completed, and most of these should lic rlcady in about ten days.” »
DIFFICULT TO SECURE
RECRUITSIN DOMINION
' ' B‘OR~‘MOU‘N’i‘ED POLICE
OTTAWA, Aug. 8.-Lawrence For-
tescuc, comptroller 'of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, has re- turned from England after a visit un- dertaken in part for recruiting pur- poses. He has engaged ninety men the applications having numbered about 1,600. The fact that it has proved necessary to visit England to obtain recruits is s. fresh illustration of the difficulty of obtaining men in Canada for this species of service. During the sixteen months ending
July 31 last, 414 men have jo ned the mounted police. Of these 297 en- gaged ifn Canada, 27 were secured by Inspector West in England in 1912 and 90 by Mr. Fortescue_ this sum- mer. Of the 324 engaged prior to Mr. Fortescue's visit only 61 were natives of Canada, 234 were natives of the United Kingdom, several were born elsewhere in the empire, 13 were Americans by birth and half a dozen were natives of Continental Europc.
Thus Canada furnished 61 recruits
out of 414 or not quite 15 per cent.

EXCURSIONISTS IN A PANIC.
HALIFAX, Aug. 9.-A panic which
might easily have had disastrous results aroele on board the ferry steamer Halifax last night when with three hundred and fifty excursionlsts aboard she grounded in Pureell‘s Cove while returning from the North West Arm band concert. Alarmed by the jarring crash when the steamer grounded on the Purdell's Cove sho- als, many of the female passengers became hysterical, and a number of men rushed for the lifebelts and in- creased the exitement by donning them. Prompt action by some of the officers of the Foresters, under whose auspices the excursion was held, and the presence of mind of llandmnster Coakly of the Citizens’ Band who at once struck up a stirring march al- layed the panic. After resting on the shosls for over two hours, the boat floated with the rising of the tide and docked shortly after one o'clocll

be brought to this Island, it is learn- ed on reliable authority that a third lot is coming, which is being procured by parties in Summerside. As was previously mentioned in The Guardi- -ll". lmllorters of these animals will lil! Well advised to be cautious in their purchases, as there is a class of worthless Afghan fine wool sheep which is being disposed of by unscru- pulous breeders as the pure-bloodcd Karakule sheep from which are ob- tained the costly Persian lamb and other varieties of furs that are so much in demand.
Dr. (1. C. Young, the Russian ex-
pert on Karakuia sheep-breediiig, who is at Present on the Island, has pre- pared for the purposes of the local Government a comprehensive and va- luable report on the breeding of those sheep and the Persian lnmb fur in- dustry, which is to he published lu- tcr, and breeders who would like to I-'n in for Pcrslnii Imnh breeding arc connscllcd to withhold their purchas- es of l<n.rakule sheep until the pub- licntion of this report. `
In conversation with fi Guardian rc-
nresentntivc, Dr. Young stated that his report to the Government shows why at this time people have no op- portunity of purchasing the right kind of Krirnkulc sheep, and that they were bein!! taken advantage oi by un- scrupulous breeders, who were simply going to flood the Island with worth- less sheep, unless purchasers were given a word of warning. When this report is issued breeders who have already purchased Karakulc sheep might find that they have bought the wrong class of Karakule-Karakule Afghans or the non-fur-producing Per- sian Broadtnil.
