Prince County Exhibition Notes.

Very fine fruit was shown by Abram

Schurm wn and others. A striking feature of the Exhibition was the large number of persons present. Sum- . - . i aa . . merside was literally crowded. Exhibition

day is now the farmers autumn holiday. The ladies of MR roast, Baptist and ,

Bible Christian Churches provided repasts for the hungry sight seers and made a fine lot of money. At the Methodist booth about 800 persons partook of refreshment.

—

Our thanks are due the Secretary, Fin- lay MeNeill, Esq., and his assistant, John Clay, Fsq., for courtesies extended and assistance in the preparation of our prize list.

One specially notable feature of the exhi- bition was the regularity with which the judges handed in their returns and the promptitude with which theg were prepar- ed by Messrs. Walker and Clay.

While all the world of Prince County was enjoying a holiday, the barristers and others engaged at the Court had to remain at work and plod away over a dull case. Judge Peters having re- cently had a prolonged leave of absence anda trip to the Continent, has now a very keen eige for work; and he refused to adjourn for a few hours in order that the Court might, with the rest of the world, see the show. The conduct of the Judge was rather churlish.

The influence of the Scott Act was apparent. Some sold and some bought strong drink—but few got drank; and there was none of the rowdyism which disgraced Summerside in the ante-Scot Act days. The mean fellows who, on the sly, sell the contraband article should be hunted out. It ought net be hard to convict them. All decent men formerly engaged in the traftic yeld to the law.

Atfour o'clock, stock from the Model Farn: was sold by R. Hunt, Esq., as fol- lows :—

We regret that the railway management was anything but good. In the first place the special trains were not advertised, and no one knew the hour they departed or would pass any given station. The result was that many who would gone to the exhibition, had a few dollars been expended in advertizing, remained at home, and the specials carried few passen- gers. Inthe second place the time of the specials was fixed at twelve miles an hour; and the discontent ef impatient passengers found vent. in many a jibe and sarcasm. It is related as a _pos- tive fact that a certain inhabitant of Alber- ton having a pretty smart old grey mare, was seeii drawing out of the town just as the train was leaving the station; that when the train crossed the Western Rwvoad below Richmond, the old grey mare was seen posting along ahead, and that she actually beat the train and _ arrived first at Summerside. Then, in the even- ing, while thousands of people were waiting anxiously at the Summerside sta- tion, the trains were detained for hours on account of some hitch in the red tape. Finally the western train started on its long twelve-mile an hour journey to arrive at its destination very late in the night. About another hour passed, in vain appeals to red tape, and then the eastern special left ; but at Kensington it was detained just about 2aotherhour,to allow the mail express which ‘eft Summerside three quarters of an hour later, to pass and get the regulation distance beyond it before it again started. And wiiile the mail express sped away at the ra‘e of eighteen or twenty miles an

diateties

hour, the special was kept moving along at its twelve mile an _ hour jog from one station to anothér till it was

nearly twelve o'clock. No wonder the pas- sengers were indignant and disgusted. The Conductors had a difficult task; and we be- lieve tuey performed it well. They should, we thi:.k, in the absence of the Superin- tenden (as at present) be allowed to run their tains subject to the standing rules with reference to the time to be made by different classes of trains. That one pas- senger train should be allowed to run at the rate of twenty miles an hour while on the same read another passenger train is restricted to twelve iniles an hour—as on Thars¢ ay—is ridiculous.

' The Herald (Ottawa) gives currency to the rwaor that Sir Charles Tupper will re- tire from the Ministry in the course of a few weeks, to assume a position in the Pacific Railway Syndicate, and that he will be succeeded in the Department of Railways and Canals by Hon Mr. Lange- vin,

Giri, driven by Belyea,

First Heat.—It will be seen by the above that Boxer, Jennie Conley, Tom Hackett and Mollie Morton did not come to the front. David Stockford, who had entered Tom Hackett, says the horse was too sick to start. He appeared behind Mollie Mor- ton and found her too lame te start. After scoring four times the horses were sent away on a fairly good start, Messenger Boy having a slight lead of all the others, Lady Bagnall showing in second place on a run. Atthe first quarter Messenger Boy was still leading, pressed closely by the other P. E. Island representative—Lady Bagnall—the others being all strung out, Wormwood being last and the Woodstock mare Only one place better. The first half was won. by Messenger Boy, with Baguall on his wheel, All Right third, Baker Boy fourth, the Halifax candidate fifth, Rich- mond Girl sixth. At the three-quarter pole there was no change in the position of the horses, the contest being between the two P. E. Islaud horse, Messenger Boy still leading. The others were in a bunch and were all running. Messenger Boy entered the homestretch a short length in advance, and a great struggle was looked for between the leaders to the wire. It was a red hot struggle for a while, but Lady Bagnall lost her feet at the distance pole and went to pieces, Mossenger Boy winning as he pleased, Lady Bagnall sec- ond, Richmond Girl, who showed wonder- ful speed towards the close, getting third place, All Right fourth, Harry Baker fifth and Wormwood last. The time as an- nounced from the stand was 2.50, but sev- eral gentlemen on the track made the time 2.40.

Second Heat.—-Ali Right’s sulky present- ed an insecure appearance, having been damaged in collision with Wormwood’s sulky in the first heat. After the horses

scored four times Judge Weller told All Right’s driver that he would not be al- lowed to start if he kept back on the next attempt to start. This‘announcemeat was re- received applause by the spectators. An- other false start was made, and the judges ordered that the horses be started at a line above the distance flag, which caused more applause. Messenger Boy went away with the lead, All Right second, Harry Baker third, Lady Bagnall fourth, Wormwood fifth and Richmond Girl last. At the quarter post the positions of the horses were unchanged. Entering the homestretch it became a funeral-like procession, with Messenger Boy to the front. Coming down the homestretch most of the horses seemed to conclude that it was a go-as-you- please contest and did a great deal of running. At the first half Messenger Boy held the post of honor, with All Right second, Baker third, running, Wormwood fourth, Rich- mond Girl fifth and Lady Bagnall sixth. Going down the backstretch Wormwood surprised everybody by taking hold of All Right by the necktie and going for Mes- senger Boy. Messenger Boy entered the homestretch in fine style and won the heat. Wormwood and All Right passed the wire together on a run, Harry Baker was fourth, and Richmond Girl,who did the only square trotting in the heat, except Messenger Boy, next, and Lady Bagnall last. Time 2.43. Wormwood was given second place, Richmond Girl third, Lady Bagnall fourth, All Right fifth, Harry Baker sixth. The change in the positions was due to running by the horses put back.

| Third Heat.—Charles Record was put |behind Richmond Girl in this heat, and ‘those interested in her looked forward for |a better showing by the mare than before. After scoring two or three timés Judge Weller announced that the horse that | would not score with Richmond Girl would | be given no partin the race. Messenger ‘Boy, as usual, showed in front at the start. ‘Wormwood was second, but was soon passed by Richmond Girl. It looked as ‘though the change of drivers was going to ‘be a good thing for the Woodstock repre- | sentative. Messenger Boy showed a fine | burst of speed going along the hack stretch, ‘It was evident that his driver noticed a dangerous rival in Richmond Girl. The ‘latter continued to court the society of the leader, and was soon on almost even terms ,with him. As they entered the home- | stretch on their first half they were all strung out, Messenger Bey being first and

~—

Richmond Girl a good second. The Wood- stock mare forced Messenger Boy to pieces coming down the home stretch, but he caught his feet again before reaching the wire, and passed uifder it half a length in advance of Richmond Girl, Wormwood getting third place, The last half-mile con- tained a surprise for the lovers of turf sport. Richmond Girl increased her speed and again forced Messenger Boy off his feet and then captured first place, amid the wildest excitement of the spectators. Richmond Girl continued to lead to the close, cheer after cheer being given by the spectators in honor of her victory and her driver's excellent management. ~<a - i Special Notices.
