‘he Dominion Exhibition. Sin,—A letter in Tue Examiner of the! Iith inst, signed ‘‘Common Sense,” in which the writer thinks we shall make an+ exhibition cf ontselves by calling a public | meeting to discusa the propriety «f making! an ¢«ffort to obtain the Dommion Exhibition | at Charlottetown in the autumn of 1884, |

deserves more than a passing notice. It may seem a great undertaking for a place | | 1 }

Province so sinall as P. E. Island, to aspire to anexhibition so great as the name implies. But when we consider t' at the

. . | and Quebee and’ Onario is ertrely too great foe the former to compete at}

Dominion Exhibitions held in these places, |

jand that by the «xhibitors there refusing |

to send anything of importance to the late | exhibitions held in Halifax and St. John, it} shows very clearly that the same objection holds. good with them, and that our pre-| sumption may be excused, the two last ex- hibi‘ions being really Maritime ones, and Di minion only in name

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR B enswickers secmed disp sed to 10k favor

ably on it, but the Nova Scotiang were

decidly adverse. They seemiedto be under

the impression that they conld not

compete successfully with the Island. 1 endeavored to point out that if they wished to achieve excellence

it wasa great advantage to compete with those who excelled, supposing they were correct in the opinion that we aid go; but [ could make no impression. Now, I have reason to think it would be different, and that in Nova Scotia the project would be looked upon with favor as wellas in New Brunswick.

! am strongly of opinion that the best, if not the only, way to obtain a grant for 4 Dominion Exhibition will be by uniting with the adjoining Provinces.

The Upper Provinces are so far off as to. be practically inaccessible to the people of the lower provinces, for the purpose of live - stock exhibitions. Therefore I sonsider we are entitled to a grant fom the g neal government for an exhibition to be held in each of the three Maritime Provinces alternately, open of couree to the whole Dominion, if any choose to avail themselves’ of the privilege.

Union is ‘strength. This trite saying will I think prove specially true in this case.

As thie amount would secure enou h to make a jingle, we would advise all who drive teams to hereafter imvest the above amount in the particular kind of hardware known as sleigh bells, instead of paying it as a fine.

Province of Ontario, the reason being that their Provincial and Local shows are of such magnitude and so easily made aelf- sustaining in a great measure by the granis from the City Corporations and darge sub- scriptions of mercantile men,that it is much more convenient and profitable to exhibit in their own localities. This must clearly show that the Dominion Exhibitions 80 called, are toa large extent dependent for their competitive support on that part of the country not far distant from where they are held. As all the old Confederated Pro- vinces have had these Exhibitions, which are largely provided for by an appropri- ation from the Dominion Government, it must be clear to the minds of all unpre- judiced that we have good grounds for our demand. Your correspondent says that, For the last three years we know, by bitter experience, what it has been to send our small exhibit across the water to get to Halifax, St. John and Montreal Exhibitions.” Persons who are accustomed to exhibit live stock, ete., | all know that, under the most favorable conditions, there is great trouble, risk and expense in attending Exhibitions. But it can be clearly shown by those who have had most to do in managing the exhibits from here to Montreal, Halifax and St. John, that crossing the Straits had been the easiest and _ileast disaygree- able to the stock and their care- takers of any part of the passage, and not attended with as much expense as the same distance by rail. Your correspondent can rest assured that the experierice in these crossings has been anything but a bitter one, excepting, perhaps, by a poor fellow who has been sea-sick. Our success at these Exhibitions is too well known, both in the neighboring Provinces and at home, to go into particulars, any more than to say that out. of ~the number of upwards of 250 animals we exhibited in Halifax and St. Sohn, there was not more than ten per gent. unsuccessful as prize- takera, first and second prizes being chiefly awarded. Our.sutcess was much beyond the expectations of the mest sanguine. These facts ovght to convince anyone that it cannot ba calléd *“‘temerity” on our part to ask for the next Dominion Exhibitton to be held in Charlettetown, and, that there is no great difficulty in crossing the Straits with live stock, or anything else, usually sent to such places, It would certainly be very unfair had we the means to compel the thirty-nine fortieths of the people, s0- called ‘‘Common Sense” speaks of, to at- tend the Exhibition if held here. We would simply invite them as has been done on all occasions of a similar kind. If they all came we would not have quite enough hotel accommodation, but it is reasonable to suppose that we could do as they did in Halifax and St. John—get comfortable quarters for those the hotels could not ac- commodate, by having a committee to make arrangements with the private families who would have no objection to accommodate visitors for a few days at a reasonable charge. In the matter of suitable build- ings, if we got the Dominion and Provincial grants, as they have had in other places, our mechanics can build them.

Yours, truly,

C. C. GARDNER,

Sir,—Allow me to offer a few remarks on the subject of a letter, signed ‘“‘Common Sense,” which appeared in yesterday’s issue of Tue Examiner, The letter refers to the meeting convened by the High Sheriff, to take into consideration the proposition to secure a grant from the Dominion Gov-

Fast Drivise has been,and is yet, forbidden by law. But there are few horses in the city which ean drive fast enough to come within the meaning of the statute. Much less is this the case in the country. We hear of horse- dealers wagering that ten horses cannot be found in this city which can trot inside of three minutes. If this is thecase there is an end to fast driving as now-adays a horse without a record of 2,20 and under is not con- sidered fast. How then can His Honor the Sti- pendiary Magistrate, as he did to-day, fine a common country teamster $1 for fast driving?

Tne fancy sale held in the Market Hall yesterday under the auspices of the ladies of St. Peter's congregation was gucctissful in every sense of the word, The tables were bounti- fully supplied, tastefully arranged and pre- sented a festive and seasonable appearance. The hall looked bright and cheerful, and was well filled all the afvernoon and thronged during the evening with people of all denom- inations and ages. Four tables were devoted to a display of fancy goods and beautiful work, materially increased and enhanced by an ample supply of toys, contributed prin- cipally from Eng'and. A cake table, a candy taple, aud a refreshment table completed the number, Tea and c ffee and other refresh- ments were served throughout, but an oyster supper at nine o'clock was @ special and much appreciated feature. Excellent piano- forte masic enlivened the evening. But, of all the attractions, the Punch and Judy show was the foremost. The enc] sure was

- crowded at every exhibition, and at times the cruch was irresistible. Youn and old were alike delighted. and patrcnize the show with equal favor. Mr. E. A. Harris, who prepared the figures and “prop gties” with so much, artistic skill, must be specially c yngratulated upon the success of his work. Perhaps the best proof of the success of the sale, (except- ing, of course, the universal satisfaction it gave), is the fact that the financial receipts

amou' ted to cver four hundred and seventy

ernment for an Agricultural Exhibition, to be held in Charlottetown next year.

Let me preface my remarks by acknowl- edging the deep obligations we, who are intetested in thig matter, are under to “Common Sense” for his kindly and thoughtfully in giving publicity to the fact that “he has no objection to the High Sheriff. calling a meeting.” Had it been otherwise—had he objected—that function- ary would, doubtless, have felt himself compelled, however reluctent, to contra- vene the meeting, and the chance of secur- ing a Decminion grant would have been lost for ever. Let me also express the regret which, 1 am _ sure, we all feel, that ‘‘Common Sense” should think ‘we are simply making an exhibition of ourselves,” and will he forgive me: for suggesting the bare possibility, that one who writes in so self-sufficient and dogmatic a tcne on a subject to which he has cvidently given little consideration miglt also be ‘‘simply making an exhibition of himself.”

Now, sir, to the point: Wh n in August last I had the honor—es a delegate from the Advisory Board of this Peovince—of conferring with the Dominion Exhibition Board at St. John, one of the many argu- ments I made use of to point out the desira- bility of so ammending the prize list as to induce our people to take part in the ex- hibition, was the benefits that would accrue from the bringing together the people of the different provinces, both in a social and agricultural point of view—the in‘erchange of ideas and of information and experience in matters relating to. farming, aud more especially the probability that tle » @ pects of an Agricultural Union of tie Maritime Provinces would be achieved thereby. This question of Agricultural Union is one in which I have long taken a deep interest.

Dominion grant, that we go to work with energy to bring about an agricultural union of the Maritime Provinces. In the first place we must haveswhat we have long wanted, a permanent Boafd of Agriculture appointed by the Local Government, who would at all times be on hand to take up this or any other question in the interests of agriculture. Let them use every means to bring about the contemplated union, and with our strength joined with that of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and with the aid of their Ministers, I am satisfied there will be no difficulty “in obtaining . a grant or @ Dominion Exhibition in Charlotte- town in the autumn of 1884.

_ New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are interested quite as much as, if not more than, ourselves in this matter. While we have, at great risk and considerable cost, taken part, to some extent, in an Upper Province Exhibition, they, as I believe, have taken part in none; therefore they will be at least as ready as ourselves to claim a separate grant for the Lower Provinces.

The difficulties suggested by ‘‘Common Sense,’ though formidable, are, by no means, prohibitery—they are simply obsta- cles to be overcome. That they will be overcome, if we go the right way to work, atid that we shall have a Dominion Exhibi- tion in 1884,—one that will redound to the

credit of our Island farmers ard be asource of much pleasure and profit to all,—is the

fervent wish and firm belief of Yours, etc., J. T. Jenkins,

P. S. I must with your permission demaur to your suggestion, that the subject of Steam Communication be discussed at the meeting in the Market Hall on Tuesday next. This is

a question of paramount importance and of the deepest interest to all; and is not to be treat- ed as a side issue, but must have a meeting to itself, a meeting properly convened for this special purpose, a rousing, roaring meeting,- one that will urge—etrenuously urge—our claim —our clear, indisputable claim—to ‘‘continuous |" ' communication winter and summer with the railway system of the Dominion,” the com- mercial life blood of this Province—having which we shall prosper largely—-wanting it we can barely exist—therefore have it we must and will!
