OUTSIDE THE SHED.
The square around the Drill Shed was con- tinuously thronged with sight-seers. Pro- minent among the attractions was Mr. Swallwood’s patent potato digger,—the latest ont. Tho farmers seemed to like the ides, and we heard many persons express a wish to see it at work. Mr. Thos. Hall, the enterprising implement maker of S’side, made, however, §the best exhibit. His Throshing Machine and Cleaner was critic- ally examined and generally approved. A very well finished cart.made for him by Mr,

TIMELY PROVISION.
‘the ladies of the Church of England and the Methodist Church in Summerside vied with each other the Christian duty of pro- viding food fer the hungry. At tho same time they replenished the funds of their respective churches. For the mode § stm of twenty-five cents the most charnung of waiters helped the exhausted sight-seer to a refreshing luncheon, and sent him on his way rejoicing.
ON THE CATTLE SHOW GROUNDS.
Green’s field, due north of the town, was lively with horses, cattle, calves, sheep, and jigs; and to the lover of rural sights and domestic animals it presented a most pleas- ing appearance. A leading farmer of the country informed our reporter that the show was the best ever held 1 Summerside, and that he could, each year, see a marked improvement in the “haracter of the stock exhibited. Prince County is in the front rank as regards horses ; and there were some really splendid animals on the grounds. Mr. Robert Glover’s magnificent stallion ‘‘Dexter” was ruled out of the competition because he has taken the first prize regularly for a number of years. The judges, however, did not like to treat an old friend so, and therefore recommended him for a prize. Mr. Wm. T. Willis’ splendid draft stallion took first money. Mr. James McDonald’s stallion was adjudged to be the best in the carriage stallion class; Mr Harry Craswell’s, second best. Both are very fine animals. A beautiful fiery charger belouging to Mr. George McFarlane was rightly judged to be best blood colt over three years old on the ground. Mr. William Cairns’ entire draft colt—one of the Brown Stout breed— was judged to be the best in_ that class under three years old ; Mr. Hubert Compton’ssecond best. Mr. James Mur- ray obtained the prize for the best carriage colt under three years ; Mr. George Mut- tart second best; Mr. Geo, W. Cameron was put down for the best carriage colt under two years; Mr. John Hyde for sec- ond best; Mr. Geo. Compton for best draft coli ‘under two years; and Mr. Dougald Currie for the second best. The mares, foals and fillies were admirable. Mr. Jas. Hetfel, of Traveller’s Rest, Lot 19, exhibit- ed a splendid mare and foal in the carriage class. The foal, by ‘‘Abdallah,” was greatly adinired for its beauty. Mr. Jas. Staf- ford, of Bedeque, exhibited a splendid draft mare,with a splendid colt by ‘‘Challenger.” Mr. Daniel Cobb, also of Bedeque, had an almost equally fine mare, and in our opinion a better colt by the same horse. The best draft filly under three years was adjudged to belong to Mr. John W. Stafford, of Beceque; second best, to Wm. Walker, of Birch Grove—both splendid animals. The best draft filly under two years was ad- judged to belong to Mr. Donald Ross; second best, Mr. Murdoch Ross. The best carriage filly under two years was that of Mr. Peter McRae. Messrs. Thomas Murphy and James Tuplin exhibited very fine car- riago fillys under two years. The two would make a_ splendid = span. Mr. Murphy obtained first money, Mr. Tuplin second best. A very beautiful filly was shown by Mr. Angus McMillan, M. P. P., but we do not see Mr. McMillan’s name on the prize list.
CATTLE.
Some fine bulls were shown. Decidedly the best was an,English short-horn belong- ing to Mr. Archd. Wright of Bedeque—3 yrs. old and weighing 1800 lbs. Mr. Wright had also on exhibition some splendid milch cows, and very pretty well- bred calves. Mr. Edmund Compton, of St. Eleanors, exhibited a splendid two year old short-horned bull, weighing 1,528 lbs. Hon. A. Laird had some very fine calves ; and a calf belonging to Mr. Mc- Fadyen attracted much notice. We regret that we cannot publish the names of the prize winners.
SHEEP AND PIGS.
Mr. W.'T. Mills of Indian River, exhibit- ed some very fine pure bred sheep, but others were considered finer by the judges. The show of pigs was small but good. —

The weather was ail that could be desired. The display of stock was very good. Koals from the celebrated horse ‘‘All Right were greatly admired as was also some “King Bird’ and “Royal Harry” stock. A short horn bull calf exhibited by Mr. McFadyen of Augustine Cove, was much admired. The pretty creature is only three months old and bids fair to be a very vala- able animal to stock raisers.
In the vegetable department was to be seen some excellent sam- ples of sugar beet, the growth of which merits special attention in those days of encouragement > home industry. The potato samples were equal, if not superior, to any the writer ever saw at any local ex- hibition. All the vegetables were very fair; the butter and cheese excellent. In fact, the exhibits in all the departments evi- denced a growing taste for improvement, and furnished ample proof of the necessity that exists for larger appropriations to foster our local industries.
The cloths, fancy tweeds, ulster cloth, blankets, flannels, druggits, yarn, etc., ex-
in the good old way,
exhibited by the enterprising firms of Tryon and Mill Valley Cloth Mill were greatly admired. Sam- ples from the above factories will be
exhibited at the Queen’s County Exhibition next Wednesday, when we shall have more tosay about their merits. Conners,of Wilmot Valley exhibited some fine carriages.
About 12 o’clock, His Honor the Lieuten- ant Governor and suite arrived by special train from Charlottetown, and on entering the Drill Shed was warmly greeted by many of the leading agriculturists of the County. The Secretary Mr. F. MeNeill, introduced to the densely crowded audience His Henor the Lieutenant Governor and Judge Hensley, Chairman of the Queen’s County Exhibition.
The band of the 82nd Battalion, from Charlottetown, enlivened the proceedings with some excellent selections of music, very well rendered. The Exhibition closed about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, when could be seen a crowd of busy men and women engaged in removing their property from the Drill Shed, and preparing to return to their homes. The large assemblage gath- ered on the occasion, behaved exceedingly well, and the whole proceedings passed off in a very orderly manner.
VISITOR. QUEEN'S COUNTY .EXHIBITION NOTES.
The cattle show field is being prepzred for the proper arrangement and classifica- tion of live stock; and suitable stands are being erected in the Drill Shed for the reception of articles for exhibition.
Already a large number of entries appear on the Secretary’s book, especially of live stock. This, doubtless, is owing to the fact that no entries of stock will be received after to-morrow (Friday.) Hence the neces- sity for competitors to enter their animals without delay, in order to share in the prizes which will be awarded to successful competitors on Tuesday next.
KING’S COUNTY EXHIBITION. ‘
Large numbers attended the King’s County Exhibition to-day. At ten o'clock the Lieutenant Governor left the city for Georgetown by special train.
