THE DAILY

SEPTEMBER 26, 1890.

In a Bad Fog.

—

Tur Patriot is not only at sea on the sugar duty question, but it is in a dense fog as well. Ina vain attempt to get over the bristling facts that in 1878 we imported only 108,000,000 pounds of sugar, with an average duty of nearly 2} cents per pound, while in 1889 our importations were 223,- 090,000 pounds, and the duty only a little over 14 cents per pound, our contemporary says ‘‘quantity is no criterion, because the price of sugar abroad may fall.” Now, The reason given is just better criterion

this is nonsense. makes quantity a Our contemporary appears to

what than value. realize the fact that quality is a criterion, and speaks of the large per centage of im- purities contained in melado, or raw sugar, imported for refining, which, he says, ‘will not make much more than one-half its weight in pure sugar.” Then follows a lamentation on the expense of refining and the freight paid on ‘75,000,000 pounds of dirt!” Certainly the fog is dense. Per- haps our contemporary may begin to catch a sight of land whea we tell him that the melado sugar imported for refining pur- poses in 1889, contains a larger per cent- age of saccharine matter than the common grades of refined sugar such as we imported in 1878. If the calculation is based on the actual amount of saccharine matter con- tained in the importations of 1878 and 1889 then it will be found that we used much more than double as much pure sugar as we did in 1878, and pay only about one- half as much duty per pound.

The increased consumption of sugar is to be accounted for in the cheapness of the article, the increase of population, and the

advance in the prosperity of the people since the close of the inglorious Grit rule.

W. M.S. Convention.

The second day of the convention of the W. M.S. opened yesterday at 9.30 with the usual devotional exercises, led by Mrs. Large of York, after which came the roll call and minutes of previous meeting. Then, after hearing some reports, a letter was read from Rev. B. Chappelle,of Japan; which was received with much interest. Then. followed a conference of committees. There were several other things on the programme,which had to be left out for want oftime. A consecraticn meeting led by Mrs. J. T. Smith of Woodstock, was held from 12to1. The afternoon session opened at 2.30. The opening services were conducted by Mrs. R. W. Sprague. Mrs. Johnson (Charlottetown) and Mrs. J. D, Chipman, subject of prayer ‘* The calling of the young.” After roll call and read- ing of minutes, there followed some reports of Band Work, after which a paper on ** Mission Band Work ” was read by Mrs. H. E, Vickerson and opened for discussion. Matters laid over from the morning ses- sion were now brought forward among which was a paper on ‘Study and sale of reports” by Mrs. Vickerson. After a short intermission a number of two minute papers were read, ‘‘ How to kill” by Mrs. C. Chappelle, ‘‘ How to make alive” by Mrs. ©. W. Strong, ‘*Sources of strength” by Mrs. James Essorj, ‘‘Sources of failure” by Mrs. S. James. Time havy- ing expired the meeting was then ad- journed till Friday at 9.30.

Methodist Social. ———

One of the most interesting and enjoy- able socials held here for some time took place in the lecture room of the First Methodist Church last evening. It was given by the members of several societies of Christian endeavor in connection with this church in honor of the visiting mem- bers of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society. The room was well filled, and among the visitors were nearly all the city clergymen and several from the country, and their wives. Rev. W. W. Brewer pre- sided in the absence of the pastor, in his own ‘inimitable way, making everybody feel thoroughly at home and on the best of terms with each other. The programme was exceptionally well arranged and carried out. Pleasing snatches of social intercourse were allowed between each number, and afterwards the company were regaled with coffee and cake of the most delicious kind. The programme was as follows :— Chairman's opening remarks..... Pare

enough to say that every number was a treat. The Methodist Church has reason to be proud of the splended voices and musical talent for which its choir is so well known, Mr. Hamlyn’s address was very interesting, being illustrated with ap- propriate anecdotes and characterized by a true Christian spirit. Im concluding he dwelt upon the importance of those two great commands of Christ—the first ‘‘ Come unto me,” the second, ‘** Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.”

The thanks of the ladies are tendered Messrs. J. F. Willis & Co. for kindly allow- ing them the uss of a piano for the oc- casion.

THE DAILY EXAMINER,

Prince County Exhibition, SECOND DAY. A Large Attendance,

But a Small Representation of the Stock of the County.

(By Telephone to The Examiner).

As already stated by Tur Examin there was a large and welcome addition to the visitors in attendance at the Exhibition last evening. To-day, too, there was a greatly increased number of persons in town, though the attendance is not yet up to the mark of former years. Among those upon the grounds to-day we noticed the Hon. John Yeo, Leader of the Opposition ; James Richards, Esq., M. P. P., and John Richards, Bideford ; Wm. McN. Simpson, Hamilton ; George Simpson, Malpeque ; Samuel Simpson, Lot 16; 8. Burns, Free- town; Dugald Wright and 8S. R. Black, Searletown ; James Tuplin, New Annan, and many other leading farmers of the County.

The show of horses and cattle does not come up to expeciation. Prince County is not fully or fairly represented by the stock on exhibition. Though there are some fine animals in most of the classes, the competi- tion is not active ur strong in any. Of the draft horses, Lucky Lad, Liberty, and the Percheron stallion lately imported by Thos. Andrew, Esq., of St. Eleanors, were the most prominent examples. In respect to this class, there was a blunder on the part of some one by reason of which

Lucky Lad did not appear in the ring at the time of the judg- ging, and therefore won no _ prize.

Two very fine draft colts, the progeny of the Knight of Ardgowan and an imported draft mare, were shown by John Richards, Esq., and the fine registered stallion Law- yer, owned by Gilbert DesRoches of Mis- couche, made a splendid appearance. The classes of carriage horses were strengthened by the pure-ored young stallion Parkside, and a pure bred filly also from Parkside Farm, both good examples of the trotting stock. A beautiful filly by Administrator, owued by S. R. Black, Esq., Searle- town; and another very fine filly by West- lawn, was exhibited by W. T. Hunt, of St. Eleanors.

There was an exhibition of a compara- tively large number of bulls, some good and some pretty bad, chief among which was a fine Holstein from the Heartz Farm, owned by D. H. McDonald, of Bedeque, and a fine Shorthorn, owned by W. MeN. Simpson, of Hamilton. The exhibit of cows was small, and on the whole inferior. There were on exhibition a few fine heifers and calves.

Of sheep and pigs the exhibition was good in quality, as well as larger in num- ber, than in the other classes.

The impression is prevalent that, though the arrangements are superior to those of former years, the exhibition cannot be call- ed a success.

NOTES.

Last night the Exhibition Building was } lighted up on trial with the electric light. The effect was very fine. There will how- ever be added to this light 100 incandescent lightsfrom a Thomson-Houston Dynamo. These lights are both from the same man- ufactury and will blend perfectly. Our visitors may expect to see a blaze of elec- tric light never before seen in the Pro- vince. Messrs. A. & C. Quirk will supply the refreshments, and it is, of course, unneces- ary for THe EXAMINER to here say that they will do their part of the work well. They are now hard at work making ar- rangements for the multitudes that will attend. Their prices will be reasonable, and their tables will be well spread. The lodging house committees are busily engaged interviewing the people of the different Wards, and are meeting with much success.
