The Fishery Award.

Having setfled among ourselves that it is

t this Provinee should receive a

yijht that this share of the Fishery Award, let us now unite in the minds of the Dominion Government. Our claim is based upon these facts : (1) that we agreed to abide by the Award before we entered the Union, and had the Award been made as soon a3 it should have been made,

enforcing that right upon

we certainly should have received the money. (2) That we have not surrendered to the Dominion Government onr territorial right to the Fisheries any more than we territorial right to the lands of this Province. (3) That the Dominion Government has engaged to pro-

have surrendered cur

tect our fisheries ; and itis ceftainly liable for damaces to the Province if it fails to do so.

We hope that the Local Legislature will not fail unanimously to memorialize the Dominion Government for a prompt re- cognition of our just claim.

WELCOME TO THE 10TH REGT.

His Excellency said:—

Officers and Soldiers of tie gallant [ welcome you in the Queen's name to Canada and thank you for coming to-day to do honor to her Majesty’s birthday. We are brothers, to-day, in blood and great re- lations and I rejoice to see you here as brethers in arms.

A salute was the signal for proceedings to commence, and a few moments after a feu de joie was fired. This was repeated twice, and to say that it was simply perfect is no exaggeration. Three cheers were given with a will by the whole line, among which the peculiar Brooklyn Tiger was a feature. An officer, overcome’ with heat, suddenly fellin the ranks and was promptly con- veyed to the hospital in an ambulance.

THE MARCH PAST occurred in the following order : Montreal Cavalry, B Field Battery, Shefford Field Battery, Ottawa Field Battery, Montreal Field Battery, B Battery, Quebec,

The skating rink also presents a novel sight filled, as it is, by squares of beds ar- ranged in blocks ; a block or street to each company. The north end of the rink is fitted up as a regimental kitchen. These arrangements are under the personal super- vision of the manager of the windsor, who has carried out his plans to the satisfaction of all,

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

We hope that the claim will be brought to the notice of the Minister of Justice for his formal opinion respecting it.

We hope that if the opinion be adverse to us, that the whole matter will be carried to England for an opinion from the Crown Law Oificers of the British Government.

We hope to see no more such articles as appeared in the Putriof of Saturday. Let us be united. It is a notorious fact that we have, at least, nothimg more to hope from a Grit Government’ than from a Tory Government. Mr. McKenzie is, at least, as much opposed to giving us a share of the Award as Sir John McDonald ; and he is as little likely to give favorable consideration to the representations of the ‘‘ ignorant Islanders,” received such unduly favorable terms from Mr. Tilley, as is Sir John McDonald.

The Business of Souris. Souris, May 26.

All classes here are actively engaged in their different occupations, and hopes are entertained cf a brisk summer, although shipbuilding, toa great extent, is down; yet there are other industries taking its place in the shape of public works and manufactories, &c. The Breakwater at this place is rapidly appreching completion. Mr. P. Doyle, the contractor, has employed from twenty to thirty men. He has the cribs wr blocks ready to float out to their place, and has divers employed for the last two weeks cleaning the bottom of the new work, as there are a large quantity of lumber sunk at the bottom, besides a quan- tity of stones to be cleared away before the new cribs can be placed; and, when done, it will be a strong work, as the plan is on much better principal.

Messrs. Chiveri and Lyons are also push- ing their contract ahead. They employ some thirty men on the Railway Wharf, besides quite a number on the Railway Cut. The wharf is about one thousand feet long and seventy-five feet wide; and, when done, will be a great benefit to the shippers of this place.

Mr. ©. A. Haley employs a large number of men and women in his lobster factory. He intends to double the quantity put up by him Jast year, which will be about 300,- 000 cans. His daily catch is from eight te ten thousand lobsters.

Messrs. ©. C. Carlton & Sons are also doing a lively business at Rel’o Bay putting up lobsters. Their daily cateh is from five to eight thousand. They iniead to put up about 150,000 cans.

Mr. i. D. Anderson (formerly Anderson and Finlay) has moved into his large new cabinet factory on Main Street, where he employs quite a number of hands, and turns out some very excellent furniture.

The steam mitl which is managed by Mr. John White, is ranning on full time, and doing a lively

are proceeding to Fletcher’s field, the sur- ronndings of which are already packed. The nearest comparison which can be made to give an adequate idea of the scene is the spectacle presented by the English Derby. The crowd is good-natured, and gives and takes as cheerfully as possible. The grand stand, however, has caused general indignation by citizens at large, who think that the Corporation should not have permitted its erection, as it is in pub- lic property and shuts out the view of the large body of sight-seers. The press, which was to have been at the extreme north of the grand stand, has also expressed its dis- satisfaction. The presence of Mr. Beecher, the Chap- lain of the 13th Regt., creates almost as much curiosity as the regiment to which he belongs. The burly, active form of the stalwart chaplain in his uniform ef black and gold is marked wherever he goes. His interest in the progress of the celebration is very great, and he seems never to tire talking about it. He makes himself quite at home with everybody, and enters freely into the life of the scene, in that spirit of unanimity which should prevail among all classes. The citizens of Montreal of both nationalities seem to vie with each other in trying te do honor to their guests, whose respects for the 60th noted day of our be- loved Sovereign is warm and deep. It is a subject of friendly rivalry as to which na- tion the American troops should belong, and as one of them naively observed, ‘*there is just room on our flag for two more stars, Upper and Lower Canada.” And we can also find space on our flag to take in the Union, if you are anxious in that direction. At this moment the veteran association has been mustered in the Windsor, where it will proceed to the Skating Rink and take up its position with the regiment.

TAKING UP The 13th was the first regiment to take up its position at 10.45, and occupied the central point atthe base of the letter V. The appearance of the men was the signal for a long continued ovation, as they marched with with firm step; following them were the Governor General’s Foot Guards, taking their place on the right of the centre taken up by the 13th Brooklyn. The third in order was the 65th Mount Royals, a French Canadian corps, closely followed by other regiments in quick time. The undulation of the ground was not favorable to the effect preduced, which lacked the uniformity that was looked for. The ground, in the meantime, was tem- porarily kept clear by men of the Royal Naval Reserve, under Capt. Smith, R. N., of the 8. 8. Peruvian. The scene on and adjoining the grand stand surpassed description. - The Royal dais reserved for the Vice-Regal suite was criticised with much interest. At its sum- mit floated the marine flag of the Dominion. About 20 paces in front stood the saluting point, the flag staff topped by the Union Jack.

Messrs. Valey & Bell, house contractors, are employing a large number of men; also Mr. P. E. Elwyard, whois constantly busy. ‘

The village also runs seven blacksmith shops, two saddlers shops, two merchant tailors, and last, but not least, five shoe- makers. And all appear to be very busy. Money is beginning to move around a little mo:e, and the people are in better spirits, and have better hopes for the summer

came on the field. An unavoidable delay, occasioned by the non-appearance of the Shefford Field’ Battery, compelled the troops to wait for their coming. -The Gov- ernor General’s staff consisted of Lt.-Col. Fletcher, D. A. G., Lt.-Col. Bacon, Capt. Smith, A. D. C., Maj. Henry Smith, Acting A. D. C., Lt. Col. Harwood, Hon. M. Aylmer, Lt.-Col. Dorsonnenes. At 11.45 His Excellency THE GOY.

The 13th Regiment received a perfect ovation along the line.

In commenting upon the quality of the marching of the various regiments, there is scarcely any choice to make in favor of any particular corps. The 13th, the Queen’s Own, the 5th Fusiliers, appeared to be the favorites. The physique and size of the men were admired, and each man ap- peared to have the reputation of his par- ticular regiment resting on his shoulders. A second march past aroused the cheering of the multitude, and if anything, it was superior to the first; but, as, to making any marked comparison other than casually re- ferred to above, it would be superflnons and unjust to the corps at large. Their Excel- iencies watched this part of the pro- gramme with most intense interest and entered freely into the spirit of a scene the like of which has never before been wit- nessed in the commercial metropolis. The preparation for the sham fight at 1.15 was next in order.

—

THE FORMATION FOR A SiiAM FIGHT.

The enemy were supposed to be towards Mount Royal Avenue, to the left of the grand stand, represented by the Montreal Artillery and and Engineers. The De- minion force to the right of the grand stand near the Hotel Dieu, were represent- ed by Cavairy, 13th Brooklyn, 65th Mount Royal Rifles, Queen’s Own, Prince of Wales Rifles, Victoria Rifles, 8th Royals, Govern- or-General’s Foot Guards, 5th and 6th Fus- iliers.

The shamfight cannot be regarded as a successful affair of military scientific skill, owing to the inability of the police to keep

the immense masses of people off the grounds. But the utmost good humor

prevailed and few causalities are reported, those principally being from excessive heat, to which Col. Montizambert and three or four privates fell victims. Fifteen hundred gallons of lime juice were gratuitously dis- tributed among the troops by Messrs. Sug- den, Evans & Co., Wholesale druggists.

The manceuvres occupied about an hour. The Governor-General, during this time, entered quite freely into conversation with such members of the veteran association of the 13th Regiment, who happened to be near the saluting post. It should be added that this portion of the 13th were without avms, and did not participate in the field exercises. His Excellency entered quite freely into details concerning their associa- tion, its organization, its record, and other questions regarding its past services. At the conclusion of the sham fight, the troops again took up their respective positions and marched to the

CRYSTAL PALACE,

situated at the north-east part of Fletcher’s

field. This building is under the control of

the Provincial Department of Agriculture,

and has recently been removed frem its or-

iginal site on St./Oatharine street to its present position. Owing to it being ta-

finished, its completion was not previously contemplated, until ten days ago, before the | middle of June. The contractors were therefore requested to put on an extra spurt.

This, at so late a period, required extraor-

dinary effort, when the comfort of four thousand men is considered. It was not, therefore, a matter of very great surprise that this hurry and bustle should delay the contractor catering for provisions in the completion of his arrangement. The con- tract is mentioned because the dinner to the troops was not so complete as could have been desired. The army of waiters, at- tendants ard servants of all descriptions and for all »»urposes, who had been enlisted into the service, did not come up to time. The result was inefficient attendance and a

S. Consul at Montreal, the Mayor of Tor- ‘onto, the various Aldermen of the Corpor- ation, Lt.-Col. A. A. Stevenson, Rev. Canon Hilegood and a brilliant staff mount- ed the platform. The scene was one long to be remembered. It was grand, impres- sive and phenomenal. His Worship the Mayor, who has made himself exceedingly popular since his election to office, opened the verbal part of the programme by a ispeech of welcome and, and proposed the health of the Queen, which met with a maelstrom of applause.

THE TOASTS.

The followiag toasts were proposed in the order mentioned ;

The President of the Uuited States; res- ponse by Consul Smith.

The Governor General and H. R. H. the Princess Louise, proposed by Ald. Greene ; responded to by Col. Panet.

The Thirteenth Regiment of the National Guard of the State of New York; responded to by Col. Austin, who was almost overcome with the splendid generosity which had char- acterized the welcome throughout. tg

The Canadian visiting corps was the last toast on the list.

The whole concluded by singing ‘* God Save the Queen,” and three times three for our beloved Sovereign. This probably ended the citizens’ reception, the like of which was never before known in this city.

THE BANQUE!

at the Windsor Hotel, iu the evening, given by the officers of the Montreal corps to their visiting brethren in arms, was a magnificent success. SirSelby Smythe presided, having on his right the Governor General, and on his left Col. Austin. The speeches of the evening were nade by His Excellency, Chaplain Henry Ward Beecher, Sir Selby Smythe, and Col, Austin. The fertivities ceasexi at midnight.

On Snaday St. James. Mtreet Methodist eel was crowded with a vast surging throng, long before the hour for divine service ’when Mr. Beecher was to preach to his regi- ment. His text was Ist Corinthians, 13th chap. and I3th verse. It was pronounced generally to have been the most eloquent ex- position of the divine truth ever delivered by chat celebratel preacher. There were over 3,000 persons present,
