COUNTY EXHIBITIONS.
‘Prince County Leads the Van.
THOUSANDS PRESENT—A FINE EXRIBI- TIGN—ENTERPRISING SUMMERSIDE.
THE predictions of the prophets of evil are-again unfulfilled. The first of the County Exhibitions of this year was any- thing but a ‘‘ragfair.” It was a fine show of the productions of one of our finest Coun. ties ; and perhaps the most creditable thing about it was the immense throng of enter- prising, industrious, thriving, well-appoint-
fed farmers, who, with their wives, daugh-
ters, sisters, cousins and aunts went to see it.
As early as Tuesday afternoon, exhibi- tors were on their way to Summerside with stock, or grain, or roots, or manu” factured articles to enter for the prizes ; and before daylight on Wednesday, long lines of carriages could be heard rattling along the roads leading to the centre of the days’ attraction. - The trains which arrived ‘‘on time” brought large numbers, and by the time His Honor the Lieut. Governor formally opened the Exhibiton, the Drill Shed, the show grounds, and the streets of Summerside were literally crowded. It is said that never before were so many people
gathered together in Summerside.
The Lieutenant Governor arrived rather sooner than was anticipated, and the Ex- hibition was opened at half-past twelve in- stead of at one as advertised. On this ac- count our reporter was not present at the opening ceremony, and we are indebted to the genial and obliging Secretary of the Queen’s County Exhibition Commissioners for the following summary of the opening address of His Honor, and the remarks of Judge Hensley.
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S OPENING
ADDRESS.
After a few very appropriate introductory
remarks from the secretary —
His Honor Governor Havinany said that it was with great pleasure he accepted the invitation to open this Exhibition of the products and industries of Prince County. This, he might say, . was his first official act as Governor of the Province, nor did he think that he could in a more suitable manner dedicate, as it were, himself to the duties of his position than by opening these local ex- hibitions, indicative as they unquestionably were of the prosperity of our country. The present might, indeed, be termed the age of Exhibitions all the world over. But this year, especially, seemed devoted to the cause of the agriculturist and the artisan. In our own new agriculturial and industrial nation,
exhibitions were being held all over her different Provinces with results ot the most gratifying and _bene-
ficial character. At Toronto a few weeks ago, $20,000 were distribute] in prizes to successful competitors in the various de- partments represented at the the Grand Exhibition held at that beautiful city. The National or Dominion Exhibition just closed at Ottawa was reported to be the greatest success of the kind ever before wit- nessed in Canada. His Honor express- ed his regret that some, at least, of the growths of the soil, as well as the industries of the people of his native Province, were not represented at that Exhibition. He pointed to the great necessity of encouraging agricultural pursuits, now more, if possible, than at any other period in the history of our country, because —among many other reasons—of the great failure of tenantfarm- ing in the Mother Country, which induced capitalists and practical agriculturists to cross the Atlantic in order to spy the lands and examine the soils of the New World. Hence the vital importance of imparting an impetus to the resources of our country in order to attract to our shores men of wealth and practical knowledge from the Old Country.
The noble new Province, Manitoba, by the skill and Anglo-Saxon pluck of those who represented her interests at Ottawa, erect- ed an apartment specially for the reception of her products, her mechanical and manu- facturing industries, and even samples of her soil were among her exhibits. This, he
said, was an_ effective and practical mode of introducing that great Pro- vince to the notice of the world.
No Province of the Dominion could ex- hibit better samples, especially of cereals, than we could. In proof of this, he had only to refer to the hizh character given to our Black Oats and other products at the great World’s Fair held a Philadelphia. His Honor regretted that the prizes at our local Exhibitions were so very inadequate to properly compensate competitors for the trouble and expense to which they were sub- ‘ect. His Honor, in closing his very excellent address,said that he declined the high honor of being present at the Ottawa Exhibition
as the invited guest, with the other Goverr- | J. M. Baker, of Bedeque, for Early Roses. also of the Mayor of Halifax, N. &., But thosecfother exhibiters were al:nost—ii

given him to open to the Local Exhibitions of his native Province.
His Honor’s address, of which this is but a brief synopsis, was listened to by the audience with marked attention, and at its close was warmly applauded.
JUDGE HENSLEY’S SPEECH.
He was followed by His Honor Judge Hensley, one of the fathers of agricultural exhibitions in our Province—who congra- tulated His Honor the Lieut. Governor on his very able and practical address. When, in his official capacity, it fell to his lot te administer the oaths of office to His Henor, he felt then, as he did now,— pleasing to find one with whom though when in political life he frequently differed, and always sit on an opposite side, elevated to the high position which he now so ably occupies. He said that he had always looked upon those exhibitions as handmaids to farmers and mechanics in fos’e ing their important pursuit. He was glad to see so many familiar faces on this occasion,—es- pecially interesting was the large number of ladies present, giving their countenance and exhibiting their handiwork to advance the material welfare of our common country. He felt, with- His Honor the Lieut.-Goy- ernor, that a great injustice had been done to our Province in not having a fair re- presentation of our products and industries at the great Exhibition of the Dominion, just closed at Ottawa. This neglect, he hoped, would be made up next year by af- fording our people every facility for their
their exhibits at Hamilton, Ont., where it was reported the next Do- minion Exhibition is to be held. He
concluded by saying that we should all feel grateful for the bountiful harvest just gathered. The wet weather at the first of the harvest season, caused gloomy forebod- ings among our farmers, but all their fears vanished as the season progressed and the weather became highly favorable for the reaping the rewards of their toil.
IN THE DRILL SHED.
The articles on exhibition in the Drill Shed appeared to as much advantage as was possible in the ‘‘crush.” Want of room was, however, painfully evident; and we have little doubt that before another Ex- hibition is held the room required will be provided.
THE CLOTHS.
Prince County has the advantage of hav. ing the only cloth factories on the Island. Hung on separate frames, extending nearly the whole length of the *‘Drill Shed,” was a splendid assortment of home manufactured tweeds, and other cloths, from the ‘‘Tryon Mills’. and the ‘‘Mill Valley Mills.” Messrs. Ried Bros., of the ‘Tryon Mills,” showed about forty-five different pat- terns, some made wholly from Island wool, and some made from merino woul, imported all the way from Australia. A cloth, called ‘‘black cassimere,” made of merino wool attracted much attention ; and samples of merino flannel were greatly ad- mired for their fineness and strength of texture. The ‘‘cloths” manufactured at the ‘‘Mill Valley Mills,” near Kensington, were in even greater number and variety ; but they were wholly, we believe, of home wool. The tweeds from both mills seemed to be just as good as those imported from England and Scotland ; and we have great pleasure in directing the attention of our merchants to them. If they patronize these mills they will be relieved of all the troubles of the Custem House ; and their customers (even those who do not care to patronize . home manufactures) will only know the difference by the greater cheapness of the homemade article.
FURNITURE.
Messrs. Doull & Son, of Summerside, ex- hibited a $350 suit of drawing-room furni- ture. It contained fourteen pieces, ex- quisitely finished ; also dining-room and bed-room suits, of first-class {quaiity. All of these would have shown to advantage in any exhibition ; and were highly creditable to Summerside and Prince County.
THE INDUSTRIOUS WOMEN'S EXHIBIT
was very fine.. Some mats made by Mrs. R. F. Pridham, of Margate, and by Miss Davidson, were in excellent taste, and were
atly admired. Mrs. Henry Davidson,
rs. Murdoch McLeod, Mrs, John Sharp, Mrs. Peter Taylor, Mrs. Ambrose Me- Donald, Mrs. Colin Wright, Mrs. Jonathan Hell, Mrs. Wm. LeFurgey, Mrs. Caleb Taylor, Mrs. Geo. Compton, Miss Eva Mc- Neill, Summerside, and Miss Margaret Beairsto, Malpeque, were the principal prize winners in this verycreditable depart- ment. Miss Doull, of Summerside, was the only art exhibitor. Her two sketches were nicely done. ‘The ladies’ shawls made by Mrs. Robert Cairns, of Freetown, and Mrs. John Shea, were much admired. Miss Martha Murray, of Bedeque,took first prize for blankets; and Mrs. Robert Glover, of Summerside, first prize for counterpanes.
ROOTS.
Asweanticipated,theshow of Roots which occupied a section of the Drill Shed, was very fine. Potatoes were in greatest vari- ety,. and exhibited the greatest improve- ment. Mr. Murdoch Ross, of Lot 25, won the prize for Prolifics; Mr. John Henderson, of Bedeque, for Jack- son Whites; Mr. George M. Price, of Summerside, for Calicoes, and Mr.
not quite as fine. Some excellent turnips, carrots, parsnips, mangel wurtzel and beets were shown. Of the latter the sugar beets
