ISLANDERS ABROAD.

——-@———

Fort Edmonton is simply a large enclo- sire about a thousand feet square, with dwelling and store neuses inside. The walt or fence is from sixteen to twenty feet high. On the top of it, at each of the four corners,is mounted a small cannon, and thers are embrasutes through which riflemen may take aim and pick off the members of a besieging force. It is a strong place— stacting ene hundred and eighty feet high on the banks of the broad swift flowing river. But its usefulness as a place of defence is gone; for peace and friendship happily reign, all over the@6mntry, between the white man and ra ’

Edmonton boasts’ sévéral sto~es, some very comfortable houses, a considerable number of other plates of residence in wood and canvass, ‘excellent schoola, and, besides the Roman Catholic Church already referred to, churches belonging to the Methodists, Presbyterians aud Episco- palians.

Coal crops out for miles @long the banks iof the river, and also at nny points in land. Mr. Carveil himself saw a seam of coal six feet thick not a quarter of a mile from the river.

. Gold, of a very light fisky kind, is found mg the river banks in the vicinity of monton. On her passage up,the steamer which Mr Carvell aiterpwards took ® , from Edmonton, brough’

many ‘thovaands of dollars, worih-- ey pirpose of securing the gold from

2 river. « Goyernment have engaged with contractors to improve the river by removing the boulders which have hithert. somewhat impaired the navigation of the North Saskatchewan.

The Edmonton District is not a flat prairie. Itisahigh rolling country with clumps of trees covering perhaps a sixth of its surface; and while rich in the extreme, is exceedingly beautiful With its excel- lent climate, its splendid soil, its immense mineral wealth, and its intelligent, content- ed and enthusiastic settlers, it is destined to be one of the greatest of the Northwest- ern sections of Canada. This is the opinion —not of Senator Oarvell alone—but of all the'persons acquainted with it, with whom he taiked while going there, while there

since. « During their stay at Edmonton the party Were again the recipients of the hospitality of the Hudson Bay Company, whose Officials were exceedingly kind. Here, at the end of the week, they separated, Mr. Searth ane others of the party returning by the way they came; Mr. Oarvell going down the river.

The river tekes its rise in the Rocky Mountains, in a email lake near Mount Forbes,not fer from the Yellowstone Pass— and rons through Canada a distance of twelve buodred miles! The country on its banks is high, rough and hilly; and the hill-sides are covered with a very heavy growth of timber, while in the valleys -the vegetation is luxuriant. From Fort Edmonton to Fort Pitt the river describes a very large curve, within which are innumerable smaller curves. Indeed it is impossible, at any given point between the two forts, to look a mile ahead. Hero a precipitous headline juts out and obstructs the view—away beyond, the curving shores open up the prospect of a@ beautiful valley with the brvad river flowing on.

Mr. Carvell left Edmonton on Saturday, the 14th of Joly, in the steamer ‘*Manitoba;” and passing by Victoria and St. Paul. touched at Battleford, the former seat of Government and residence of Ex-Governor Laird. He went ashore here and during his stay of about an hour, was fortunate enough to meet the Chief of the Mounted Police; Mr. Scott, the Registrar, and Mr. Rey.

Passing the somewhat celebrated Carlton House, he reached Prince Albert on the Thursday following bis departure from Edmonton, and remained five days;—enjoy- ing the princely hospitality of the Hon. Lawrence Clarke, Chief Factor of the Hudson Bay Company, and seeing much of the country and its inhabitants. During his stay he was driven by his host across the country to the South Branch of the Sascatchewan--.a distance of sixteen miles—through a beautifully picturesque country—and had the great pleasure of being present at the consecration of the new church and Church-yard of St. Mary by Bishop McLean, and of hearing the Rev. Canon Geoper preach. He returned to Prince Albert by a different route—hill and dale and iake and weoed,-end bracing air, and pleasant con panionship combining to make the trip “theroughly enjoyable. The eountry abont here is very beautiful.

Prince Albert extends about three miles along the shore of the river, the buildings

in

being somewhat scattered. It includes numbers of very comfortable dwellinss, and some well filled stores, Large mills

are owned and operated by Captain Moore | and the Messrs. McDowell; and the Hudson Bay Company also own extensive saw and grist mills.

Senator Carvell left Prince Albert on the Tuesday following, passed Fort a la Corne; thence to the Pas Mission, and through Cedar Lake, to the Grand Rapids. There he crossed a portage of three and a half miles on a tramway—the car being drawn by a horse—to Lake Winnipeg; and took passage in the steamer “Princess” on Saturday afternoon. On the same evening

he arrived at/Selkick, and onthe following Tuesday reached Winaipeg. |

both the ‘‘Manitoba” and the “Princess” were natives of this Province-—the former, Mr. Williams, of New London; the latter a son of Mr. Wm. White, of Charlottetown. Both are much respected, are held in high appreciation by their employers, and are a credit to their Island home. At Prince Albert hemet Mr. Hugh John Montgomery, (formerly of New London) who is doing a land agency and commission business there

During his stay in Winnipeg he saw much that greatly interested him. There was a great deal of activity on the streets and in the workshops; and though enduring a term of stringent commercial depression, it was evident that the city was making material progress, and flourishing despite the finan- cial difficulties in which some of its leadiny people were then involved.

It was @ source of very great pleasure to meet, ian Winnipeg, the able, energetic and popular Post Office Inspector, Mr. Ww W, McLeod, and also Mr. and Mrs, James A. Carman.

Annual Artillery Inspsction.

The annual inspection of the Artillery Brigade under command of Major Irving took place at the Drill Shed last evening. The commissioned oflicers present were Captain Passmore and Lieut. McNeill of No, 1 Batt., and Captain Moore and Lieut. J. A. Longworth of No. 2 Batt. Brigade Major Freeland was also present, . At half- past seven the Brigade assembled in parade uniform, and having been’ drawn up in double file awaited the argival of the in- spector, Colonel Irwin. At. eight o'clock the Colonel entered he Drill Shed and was greeted with a salute. Soon afterwards the work of inspection began, each man’s uni- form being first closely scrutinized in front and rear. The Brigade were then put through some rifle exercises, both Batteries doing very well, With the marching very little fault could be found, and considering that No, 2 Batt. is a comparatively _ new one, being composed almost entirely of recruits, while there are numerous recruits in No. 1 Batt. as well, the inspection so far was highly satisfactory. Colonel Irwin next inspected the Ba‘teries in cannon exer- cises, and we cau do no more than repeat his own words—that they shewed an admirable knowledge of their work. The inspection was completed “by a private examination of the non-commission- ed officers, for the purpose of asdéertaining their fitness for the task of instructing. The Colonel then addressed a few words to the Brigade. He said this was the first time he had seen the Charlottetown Brigade as a Brigade and he had no hesitation im saying that he was very much pleased With it. Two years ago, he, along with General Luard, bad the pleasure of inspecting No. 1 Battery of Artillery, which at that time was in a high state of effciency. He had re- ported then, that probably this Battéry was second to none, for thoroughness of drill and cleanliness of uniformyia the whole Do- minion, and he was glad to say that he could in a measure, make thé same report to- night. The turn out was uncommonly good. Of course there was the drawback of inspecting by gaslight, instead of in the day time, still he felt gratified with what he had seen. He impressed upon them the importance of keeping their rifles and uniforms clean. It was only a matter of personal appearance, but a slovenly com- pany generally condemned itself. The Brigade here has advantages which a great many others have not, in that they have a fine large Drill Shed and enthusiastic officers. It was a matter of regret to him that none of the non-Commissioned officers could find it convenient to attend the Schools of Gannery at Quebec next winter. He would like well if some were able to go in order to qualify themselves properly for the duties of instructors. He was anxious that every volunteer of each Battery should make it a point to put in his annual drills, for unless this were done, it was impossible to keep up a good standard. It afforded him much pleasure to compliment them on the inspection they had made, and he would make the same satisfactory report to head quarters this year as he had done on a previous occasion. The Brigade was then diamissed. Colonel Irwin inspects George- town Battery to-day.

Presentation to Dr. Creamer.

A number of gentlemen called at the residence of Judge Reddin, last evening, to present his son-in-law, Dr. Creamer, with an address and a Silver Service, on the eve of his departure for New York. The address is beautifully illuminated in a embossed autograph album, containing the signatures of most of the leading citizens of Charlottetown. The Silver Service consists of eight pieces, and were imported by Messrs, W. E. Dawson & Co. They are the best that could be procured in the city, and area gift worthy the acceptance of a prince. After the reading of the address by Mr. P. R. Bowers, and the presentation of the Silver Service, the company were entertained in a right royal manner by Judge Reddin. Dr. Creamer leaves on Monday for New York.

The Moncton Driving Park. The Fall races on the Moncton Driving Park Thursday afternoon were conducted under difficulties. The forest fires which had been burning for two or three days, were fanned by a slight breeze and during the day fairly surrounded the Park. The park itself was a solid sheet of smoke, and persons not, blessed with good eyesight were unable to follow the horses round the course. In fact it was with the greatest difficulty the Judges performed their duties. Scores of people who started from the town turned back, being unwilling to face the smoke. The first race was called shortly after 2p. m. It was the :

THREE MINUTE CLA S and resulted in an easy victory for Spring

Steel. The summary is as follows:— Spring Steel, - * - 1, 1,1 Young Hambletonian, - 2, 3,2 Sandy Morris, - > $4076. Little Maud, i

Best time, . 2.45.

THE FREE FOR ALL was not so pretty a race as was expected. Stewart Maloney, an old ringer frem the States, did not do very well. The follow- ing is the summary :—

Honest Tom sce ae ae Stewart Maloney - - 1, 5,3, 5. Col. Laing - - - < 3,2, 2,3. Long John - - - 4,3, 4, 4.

_ Charlie Morris - - 6, 4, 5, 2. Maud Mac - - - -. 6,6, drawn.

THE RUNNING RACE between Charles May’s Queen and Dila- haunt’s Sleepy Tom was won by the latter in two straight heats. Willis rode the Queen and made a splendid race though the horse was too solid for her.
