It is greatly to be regretted that,hitherto so few, comparatively of our farmers and

these exhibitions. This year the competi- tion was as lively in Queen's County as ever before. Yet the area over which prizes were distributed is very small. Not a single prize went to New trlasgow, to New London to Cavendi t lfast

MARITIME UNION.

(From th Toroul Nalion.)

Of the advantages of an union of the At. lantic Provinces there eannot be a doubt. Nothing but local jealousies and small local interests could have kept them apart so long. Ifthe voice of the general interest, which will ultimately decide the question, had not been stifled by the shrill voice of party interest, it would have been settled long ago. With the reduc mand for public men, the quality would im prove ture on the superfluous machinery of (io- vernment would be an unmixed good. But perhaps the most satisfactory thing would be the proof afforded that a higher region of politics had Leen entered ; the nation counted for more, and merely parish considerations less. he united Pro vinces would acquire a new sutomony, and

A pair of beautiful jet b aek carriage horses owned by Wr. Alex. Dixon of Bannockburn, were as well match- ed as they could possibly be. Several fine mares with very fine colts were exhi ited. With these exceptions the horses were, we think, rather below the average of prize ani- lhe mares, generally, were rather over mediocrity. In the

COMMITTEE OF HILLSBOROUGH

ROATING

oO! THE

sarnailinens ‘Tus following report explains why Mr. |

siehel’s last hours in Charlottetown were

y disagreeably :—

“The Committee of the Hillsborough Boating Club, and the gentlemen who consented to act in conjunetion with them, deem it due to the subseribers to the fund, ts well as to the military authorities | through whose courtesy and kindness per- mission was granted for the Band of the S7th Regiment to take part in the festivis ties connected with the Regatta, Promens | ide Concerts and Ball, to give an account | of their stewardship, which course 13 un- fortunately rendered necesary In conse- | quence of the conduct pursued by the Agent | whom the permission for the

pent so re

;

through Band to visit the Island was obtained.

‘ It appears that some weeks since a Mr. | Sichel, who is a musicseller in Halifax, visited Charlottetown, and, in cenversation | with one of his customers [Mr. Bremner,] | who is a member of the Hillsborough Boat | to that gentleman his | inxions desire to cultivate the musical | tastes of the people of the Island, suggests | ing as ene means of accomplishing such a | philanthropic object, that they should en-

ing Club, ¢ xpresse l

Band to pay them a visit; stating also, that if the usual application to the Gen, | eral in command, and to the Colonel of the

Regiment, were made through him backed | by a respectable committee of manage-~ ment, he would be enabled to obtain the requisite permission provided all expenses were paid, and that the sum required for such expenses would not exceed $400,

“ Subsequently, Mr. Bremner made some ealeulations, and wrote to Mr. Sichel that he thought the sum of $500 might cover | the cost, intending, of course, to include, in that amount, a gratuity to the Band, |

‘Negotiations were opened by Mr Sichel with the military authorities, a deposit of $400 to cover expenses was asked for by Mr. Sichel, and that sum was remitted to

ITalifax; the Committee arranged

him at

back to Halitax at a reduced fare. following gentlemen consented to act in | leonjunction with the Committee of Club:—

Hlon. Chief Justice,

| Hon. Provincial Treasurer,

i lon. Postmaster, Charlottetown,

} Hon John Longworth, | Hon Solicitor General,

J. E. Boyd, Esq , Chief Engineer of the P. E. I. Railway,

Louis H, Davies, Esq., M.P.P.

‘* The Band arrived on Monday evening, the 2lst inst,, and gave a Promenade Cons On

cert that night in the Drill Shed. fuesday morning they played at the Re- 'watta. In the afternoon of that day Mr. Sichel asked the Secretary of the Club how

the undertaking was likely to pay, and was | told that owing to the state of the weather | the receipts of the previous night fell far short xpected, yet it was hoped that by making a reduction of charge | for admission, and thus increasing the num» ber in attendance, the next Concert would, together with the receipts at the Regatta, | cover all expenses Mr _ Sichel then, for the first time. demanded £375 for the sers | vices of the Band. He handed in an ac i 1 |

of what was

i count of expenses incurred en route from

Hali ax, and an estimate of like for their return, which amounted in the whole to | $30 howing a balance of $109 in his | hands out of the $4090 remitted to him. | It was the intention of the Committee to make the Banda present of $100, and it |

inderstood by them that they had to | defray all expenses of officers and men

mr Wiis

whilst «en transit,’ and in Charlottetown. | This arrangement not meeting with the

upprobation of Mr. Sichel, Dr. Strickland, accompanied by two other members of the Club, waited on Captain Dashwood, Dr. | Strickland said ‘Captain Dashwood, we | have had a bill presented to us this | morning by Mr. Sichel for 7375.00 as payment for the services of the Rand. | (ur object in waiting upon you is to inquire | if this is done with your knowledge and | consent ; for if you have authorized the | charge, we shall pay it, although we did not | expect to be called upon to do so.” Cap | tain Dashwood replied that he was in charge | of the Band, and responsible to his brother | oflicers that nothing should be taken out of | the Band fund to defray the expenses. Qn | being told that all the expenses had been, | and would be paid, besides $100.00 to the Band, which, as before mentioned, the coms mittee intended to present to them, he stat- ed that if all the expenses were paid in ads dition to the $10) it ought to be sufficient. Dr. Strickland then asked if be should en- close the $100 to him, and the reply was “1 | think you may,”’ bat, added Captain Dashes | wood as the Committee were leaving, | ‘however [ want to talk to Mr. Sichel about | it, and as we dine at halfspast six, 1 will] see him then, and will let you know to night. However he has charged you too | much; $2.00 per day per man is enough, | instead of £3.00, and it can only be called } two day instead of three. ’ At 7 o'clock, Dr. Strickland waited upon ‘apt Dashwood as desired, aud was inform- | ed by that gentleman, that he, Capt. Dash~ | wood, left the financial arrangements en- | tirely with Mr. Sichel, and bad instructed | him to make a settlement with the com- mittee. Dr. Strickland then went to the Hall and found Mr. Sichel there, who, in the most peremptory and insolent manner, | threatened that if the money was not paid | down /ere (pointing to the table), the Band should not play at the Ball. As Captain Dashwood had already declined to interfere, and apprehending that no redress was to be had iw that quarter, the committe, rather than break faith with the public, and create un unpleasant scene within a few minttes of the commencement of the Ball, ) paid the demand made upon them, less an abatement of $25, which Mr. Sichel agreed to make, and he wrote a receipt for $350 FOR THE EXPENSES Of the Band. This trick, as the expenses were already provided for, was detected, and objected to by the coms | | mittee, the receipt was retained ad interim, | and it was promised that a receipt from | Capt. Dashwood shovld be handed to the | committe in the course of the evening, which was done. he receipt is in Capt. Dashwood ’s handwriting, and states that he had received from Mr. Sichel, for account of the Hillsborough Boating Club, the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars, in full for se / Band of the 87th
