Notes and Comments.

~The tratlic returns ef the Canadian Pacitic Railwav for the week ending May 14th, were $285,000 as against $238,000 for the corresponding week of last year, giving an increase of $47,000

~The London Standard’s Berlin corres- pondent says that France and Germany, in order to avoid farther disputes, have agreed to strip a wide space of ground on either side ot the frontier, and place large bound- ary stones in couspicuous positions.

-The Montreal Star thinks that those who are trying to make out that Canada is going to the dogs will find some difficulty in aquaring their statements with the railway statistics laid before Parliament the other day. There are now 12,628 miles of rail- way in operation in the Dominion, of which 556 miles were constructed last year. The total capital invested, paid up, is set down at $760.576,446, and the tvtal earnings last year were $42,149,615, while the ex- pense amounted to $31,038,045. The rail- way business of a country is regarded as furnishing a pretty fair index of its progress and prosperity. Thus regarded, the figures quote ale very gratifying.

A funny personage is engaged in sound- ing the praises of Mr. Hector U. McDonald in the Patriot. Mr. Weller’s implicit be- lief in the virtue of an alibi was not half so assured as the faith Mr. H. C. McDonald has in the power of a notice given on the Order Book of the House of Assembly. About a week after the correspondence with engineers and others was laid on the table of the House showing that the Government had undertaken the survey for the Hills- borough Bridge, Mr. McDonald gave notice of a resolution stating that in the opinion of the House a survey should be made. Mr. Angus McLeod showed that Mr. H. C. Mc- Donald's resolution was nonsense, because the correspondence proved that the Gov- ernment had months before taken the very action the resolution asked them to enter -upon. To bring the matter down to the basis of common sense, Mr. A. MeLeod moved his amendment which warmly com- mended the action of the Goverament, and the “‘new bioud” voted for it, as did also every other member of the Upposition.,

—The emigration from Iceland to Can- ada and the United States has of late years been s® larve that complaints are now made that the island is in danger of being depopulated. It is said that this year as many as 20,000 persons—or more than a fourth of the remaining population—will leave the island. The extent of the drain is shown by the fact that, although the or dinary annual excess of births over deaths is 640, the number of inhabitants fell dur- ing the last four years from 71,613 to 69,- 224, showing a decrease of 2,386, instead of an increase of 2,560. The emigration is chiefly from the northern and eastern dis- tricts, where agricultural operations,can be carried on only with the utmost difficulty “The emigrants,” says the recent blue book on the subject, ‘thave settled priu- cipally in the North West provinces of {Janada, and have sent home such favorable acecunts of theirnew domicile that it is natural the emigration should increase There has been a succession of unfavorable harvests and the competition of foreign steam fishing boats has almost driven away the old fishing boats of the native seamen.” This last grievance, says the Montreal Gazette, reminds us of the rivalry in our own fishing grounds and those of our neighbour, Newfoundland.

Charlottetown Driving Park As- sociation.

The opening of the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park, followed as it has been, by the advent of a professional reinsman in the person of Mr. 1. F. Winans, late of | Truro, N. S., will doubtless give a great impetus to the breeding and development of the trotting horse in this province, The constructi.n and equipment of the, track are first-class, no pains or expense | having been spared by the Association to bring it up to the standard of modern I quirements, The track is graded in such a way that water cannot lodge on any part of it, the drainage at all points being com- plete and effective;comfortable stables have been provided for the accommodation of horses taking part in races; a neat judges’ stand has been erected, and the grand stand is capable of comfortably seating thousands. Thusin the matter of con- struction and equipment the track is con- ceded to be one of the best half mile courses in the Dominion. The success of the enterprise, however, depends largely upon the management. If the directors of the Association adopt and strictly en- force cast-iron rules and regulations, which may be regarded as unfair and uojust in their application, such a policy will be calculated to create at the outset a feeling

of opposition and distrust among those whose countenance and = sup- port are essential to the suc-

cess of the undertaking. On the other band, a policy of enlightened, liberal and judicious contro! will have the effect of en- listing the substantial sympathy of those whose patronage it is desirable to obtain, for it is only by the hearty co-operation of horsemen and the general public with the management, that results can accrue mu- tually beneficial to the corporation and the people. The directors are, however, men of enlightened views, and I have no doubt but they will manage the affairs of the Association in such a way as to merit public approbation.

The location of the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park is admirable. Situated at the eastern end of the city, with the majestic Hillsborough within a stone’s throw of the track, the view from the grand stand is not easily surpassed. To the left the Hiils- borough and the country adjacent can be seen for miles; immediately in front are the highly cultivated fields and comfortable homesteads of the well-to-do farmers on the south side of the river, while to the right the city, harbor and bay are within view.

Work on the new Exhibition Building, is now being pushed by the respective con- tractors. The stables for horses and cattle are weil advanced, but the unfortunate ac- cident of last Sunday, by which the greater part of the heavy framework of the main

Exhibition Building was razed to the ground, will somewhat delay the work of construction. The contractors, Messrs.

Schurman, Clark & Co., of Summerside, are, however, men of energy and push, and there is no doubt that they will have their contract completed before the building will be required for use. That the Government acted wisely and in the best interests of the agricultural classes, by increasing the grant for exhibition purposes, and vesting the control of the Provincial Exhibition in the Driving Park Association, | have not the slightest doubt, and if the Province should be favored with fine weather, aboyt the end of September next, the Exhibition to} be held at that time should, in point of excellence, far surpsss any affair of the kind ever seen on this Island. The facilities for showing live stock and other exhibits to the best advantage will be superior, and the premiums offered will, it is hoped, be sufficient to induce farmers and others to incur some extra care and ex- pense in preparing exhibits that will make up a show creditable alike to the exhibitors and the Province.

it is none too soon that a change were made in the mode of conducting our exhibi- tions, for, without wishing to reflect ou any of the various governments by which these institutiong have been managed in the past, I am free to say that gtate control has not given that measure cf satisfaction which the people had a right to expect. As one who takes a deep interest in noting the develop- ment and improvement of the cattle and horse breeding industry, I trust that the Directors of the Association will select for the forthcoming show capable judges, who will discharge their duties impartially. It is a notorious fact that in the past, prizes have in many cases been awarded, particu- larly in the horse department, without any regard whatever to individual merit, _per- sonal friendship outweighing ail other con- siderations. The people lok forward to a marked change for the bettter in this, as well as other directions, under the manage- ment of the Association.

The loeation of Mr. Winans in Charlotte- town is a matter fur congratulation to Island horsemen, and for a man possessed of his abilities as a trainer and driver, there should be no better opening in the Marj- time provinces, if, indeed, in the Dominion. Mr. Winans comes to Charlottetown highly recommended by mainland horsemen. He is a levelheaded mar, of mature years and ripe experience, who may be depended upon to give horses entrusted to his charge proper care. Mr. Winans has taken about half the track stables for the summer, which accommodation is a great conveni- ence to him. He is near his work, and when he dves not wish to exercise on the track, a good, quiet public highway is right at hand. He has about a dozen young horses in training now, among which is the brown colt Pilando, entered by Mr. Joseph McDonald, of Vernon River, in the futurity race. In a short time, Mr. Winans will have several other horses to handle, includ- ing the stallions Golden and Machinist. I also understand that he will train some
