NO. 115. King’s County Exhibition
Tats was the most successful exhibition of the products of our soil ever held in King’s County. The farmers of King’s appeared to be much delighted with their exhibit; and those who attended all, say it was In every respect equal to the Prince County Exhibition held in Summerside on Wednesday.
At ten o'clock yestérday morning a special train left Ch’town, containing the Lieutenant Governor, James Peake, Esq., and R. R. Hodgson, Aides-de-Camp, Judge Hensley, Alex. McNab, Esq., Supermtend- ent P. E. I. Railway, High Sheriff Watson, Robert Shaw, Esq., several ladies, and re- presentatives of the Examiner, Patriot 21d Argus. The train arrived at Georgetown at 12.30. On its arrival the station was crowded with spectators. The Lieutenant Gevernor and suite were met by the Chair- man of the Exhibition Commissioners Hon. D. Gordon, and conducted to his residence, where they partook of a luncheon. After lunch the party walked te the Exhibition Building. Among those present on theirarriv- al were Austin C. McDonald, M.P.; Hon. D. Ferguson, Commissioner of Public Works, Archd. J. McDonald, M. P.; Simon Bolger, M. L. C.; Lawrence Kickham, M. L. C., Wm. Hooper, M. P. P.; Rev. John Me- Kinnon. Rev. Wm. Phelan, Montague; Rev. Charles McDonald, Rey. Mr. McLean, Dundas; and Rev. Father McDonald. The Governcr ‘and party were conducted toa platforin in the north end of the building, where Hon. Mr. Gordon, on behalf of the Commissioners, presented him with the following address :—
To His Honor the Honorable Thomas Heath Haviland, Lieut. Governor.
May Ir Pieast Your Honor:—
We, the Commissioners appointed to arrange and carry into effect this present exhibition of agricultural products and works of local industry, welcome your Honor on this occasion, being your first visit to King’s County since your appointment to the office of Lieutenant Governor of this Province.
We assure your Honor that personally we have striven to render this exhibition a source of encouragement to future effort on the par. of our farmers and mecharics, and trust that our labor may be repaid with that measure of of success which we anticipate.
The harvest season falling some days later than in former years, may have caused a more limited exhibit of productions of the soil than is desirable; yet, hela in the midst of a most fruitful season, we count on the best display of cereals and other agricultural products ever held in the county.
The various branches of industry and art, we have reason to believe, are also creditably represented; and your Honor will find evidence of marked improvement and progress in thoce departments which tend to elevate and refine the intellect, as well as to lighten the labors o! the husbandman.
At no period in the history of our country has so great an interest been taken in ex- hibitions of this kind as during the present year,—proving their value and importance in the estimation of those interested in the ad vancement of the welfare and the prosperity of the people.
Whilst realizing this fact, and declaring our conviction that these County Exhibitions should be maintained, with perhaps an ad- ditional advantage if having triennial Pro- vincial Exhibitions in the Counties alternately, yet we netertain the hope that a larger expen diture of public money may hereafter be made with great advantage to public interests,
To the Commissioners it is .. matter of gratification to find your Honor taking a lively interest in the Exhibition, and from your long experience in public life and your happy acquaintance with the people of this country, we anticipaate the most favorable results from your Honor’s administration of the Govern- ment of this Province.
Wecordially unite in wishing your Honor all health and happiness. Georgetown, Exhibition Building, Oct. 1, 1879,
His Honor replied extemporarily ; and said he could not tind words toexpress gratitication for the unlooked for compliment the Kxhibi- tion Commissioners had paid him in such a neat address. He was by no means prepared to give a written reply; and his feelings so much over-powered him that te could not tind words to express his great pleasure at meeting so many ot his old friends here to-day. He felt proud stadning here at the first Exhibition in King’s County, held after his appointment to the gubernatovial chair, particularly when he took into con- sideration that it was to the people of Kiny’s County he owed the position he now occupied, as the representative of Her Majesty. ‘They had taken hold of him a quarter of a century ago, when he was but a young politician, and invariably returned him as their representative, Regarding Exhibitions, he said there was no country in the world, however large, could hold its own among nations, unless it held them. Then speaking of the origina’ion of exhibitions, he remarked that they were first started by Prince Albert in London. He ex-
ressed himself strongly in favor of County Fshibitions, because he said they led to great- er ones, He hoped that we would, ere long, have triennial exhibitions, as suggested in the address, and that they would have pluck enough to send samples of thefr produce and manufactures to the Dominion LExhibi- tion at Ottawa. He felt sorry, as a Prince Edward Islander, that Prince Edward Island’s space in the Dominion Exhibition Building was blank, He had been invited by the Mayor of Ottawa to attend that Exhibi- tion. But two reasons prevented him from going to Ottawa. The first, that he wished to attend here to-day; and the second, that be did not wish to go to Ottawa tostand the chaff that would be about P. E. Island’s exhibit. P. E, Island might be the smallest Province in the Dominion geographically speaking, but it was not otherwise, There was never a truer
