Notes and Comments.

—Mr. Bellamy’s scheme of one compre- hensive civic umbrella is in working order at Brixton, England. The sidewalk of a newly opened street there is protected by a glass roof ten feet wide, supported by slen- der pillars rising from the curb. This in- novation will doubtlezs heighten the aver- age of honesty in that town—since the individual umbrella has always been an instance of the cemmunistic phrase, ** Pro- perty is rubbery !"

The Globe has discovered a universal demand among the constituencies “ for ‘ souvenirs’ of the surplus which Mr. Foster has evolved by clapping onerous taxes on the country.” This, says the Montreal Gazette, shows the level-headedness of the constituencies. A souvenir of a surplus is a good thing to have. Noone ever he rd of a demand for souvenirs of the delicits Sir Richard Cartwright evolved when the Liberals controlled the treasury.

—The St. John Telegraph remarks :—

“The Grand Trunk Railway is showing evidence of great energy and enterprise. The building of a second track between Moncton and Toronto is steadily progressing, and the other day a considerable section of the double track was opened. On the same day the boring of the tunnel under the St. Clair river was practically completed. This tunnel, 6,500 teet in length, will save six miles in distance and an average of one hour in time umbersome railway ferry. [he river is thronged with vessels, some 20 per hour, passing up and cown, and all these have right of way as against the ferry, thus causing constant dentention. By the tunnel the Grand Trunk will have its own continuous rail from Portland to Chicago.”

Surely the country is not all going to the dogs on account of the N. P.

over the present <

—** Faith Fenton” says in the course of her last letter from Newfoundland « ** It is one of the pretty ways the fisher folk ha here of kindly salutation to every stranger. ‘* It’s fair the day,” or ** It’s foul the day,” ‘* 4 fair day to you, leddy,” or as one old lady phrased it, ‘‘ a good night to ye an’ no murky days.” It was such a quaint good wish that last one. I hear even now her sturdy voice ringing after me as she stood in the doorway of her poor little hut, with a shy-eyed, bare-footed boy ciutching her apron. The incoming tide washed up the strip of sand over which | walked through the fast falling darkness, and a soft mist crept slowly up from the sea—‘* good night to ye, an’ no murky days.” It wasa benison borne of weary night watches when the waves tossed the fishing fleet far out at sea. It wasa prayer that was the out- growth of meekness and darkness in this region of fog and fear.”

—The Montreal (azette calls attention to | the very unfair criticism of the New York| Canadian rail way |

Sun in declaring that competion is robbing the American roa ascribing the blame to the interstate law Ly

misrepresenting the ‘terms of that law | Our Montreal contemporary, commenting |

on the assertion thai ‘‘the interstate com- merce act wiil not permit our roads to carry any commodity a given distance for any less sum in proportion than they charge for a less distance; if the charge for 500 miles is one dollar, then the charge for 1,000 must be two dollars,” shows that the law lays down no such principle. ‘‘If the charge for 1,000 miles is two dollars on interstate traffic, the charge for 500 miles may be two dollars for anything considered in the Act referred to, but it must not be more for the shorter distance. The Sun should take note of the fact that the Interstate Com merce Act does not touch traffic the trans- pertation of which is done wholly within the boundaries of one state. The Sun is either ignorant of the Interstate Commerce Act, or wilfully, for purposes best known toitself, persistently misrepresenting them.” Of course, the Sun’s diatribes against Canada and Canadian railways are at the instance of the railway menopolies in the States, which are annoyed at northern competition, and particularly annoyed at St. Paul and Boston for insisting upon the maintenance of that competition.

Maritime Press Association,

And Other Points of Interest,

A beautiful day greeted the members of the Maritime Press Association yesterday, and largely through directors of the Driving Park they were, enabled to enjoy it to the full, Teams were provided, ind about half-past two p. m., we al} wont to see the Park and Exhibition Butlduigs

| i |

a . ° ’ | Some five or six hundred people |

Were gat Lered there, evidently expecting | something more than 4 glimpse of our | noble selves or of the place Che first | view of the track, however, disclosed the | object of attraction. Many of our young horses were out. The Directors had con- siderately arranged with several of their owners to give exhibitions of speed, and if possible, one or two little brushes " for | blood.” i Our visitors were delighted. Some of them | took the judges’ stand, while others, with | their lady companions, found comfort ‘ble | seatson the grand stand. Round the track went many old favorites and coming new ones; and the eager enquiry for the nam of the horse showed the appreciation of our | visitors for the speed he developed. Black | Pilot, without giving any exhibition, showed up in form, and Physician | was universally admired. Our other older stallions were not on the track. Mr. Red- din, however, with his three-year-old Her- nando, had a mile spin, matched against Mr. Newson’s Hernona, driven by Mr. | Winan, whose courtesy in bringing out | and racing some of his best young ones was only in keeping with his deservedly earned popularity. It was as piettya trot as a

, goou 9g |

horseman would like to see. Two beauti- fully gaited young ones, showing the lines of old Heruan:!v in form and pace. The

owners may well feel proud of their posses- sions. A constant stream of horses were now coming in and off the ground. Mr. P. P Gillis now took a nod for ahint to send

his beautiful black gelding Harry G., against Neptune, driven by

: Mr. Winans, and they came under the wire together fora spin. No timing was done of course, but a lady not on the judges’ staud made the time in 2.38, and there were some vld horsemen in the crowd who appeared to think that the ume was accurate. Blackbird and Mr. H. Connolly’s fast and handsome four-year-old and others innumerable elicited from the spectators warm words of commenu-tion.

Our visitors them visited in company with

ithe Directors the

Exhibition Buildings. They took copious notes, and we will not forestall them. We will give you clippings afterwards.

Off to Victoria Park went all the party, nd from there to the Pumping Station, uext to the reservoir, 1nd some wound up at the Pottery, where Mr. Hornsby delight- ed them with his deftness of finger.

It was a pleasant day, pleasantly spent, and on behalf of this section of the Pro- vincial press we thank the Driving Park directors for their courtesy to our brethren.

DINNER AT THE ‘‘OSBORNE.”’

The members of the Maritime Press As- sociation now visiting this Province were | banquetted by their brethren of the Island | press last evening, at the Osborne House. The tables were artistically arranged and bounteously supplied with an array of viands which could not fail to please the most fastidious. Hon. David Laird occupied the chair, having on his right Hon. L. H. Davies, M. P., and President Payne, of the St. John Sun; on his ieft, Hon. Senator Howlan, Hon. Neil McLeod and} Hon. D. Ferguson. The vice-chair was filled by W. L. Cotton, Esq., and other local press- men occupied posts of honor at the festive board. The company, includ- ing the lady friends of the visiting press- men, numbered forty-six, and a more viva- cious and intelligent assemblage it would be hard to find.

Besides the Chairman and Vice, the Island press was represented by Messrs. W. A. Brennan, of the Summerside Journal, P. McCourt, of the Wa'chm..n, B. D. Higgs, of the Guardian, James Me- Isaac, of the Herald, and F. J. Nash, of | the Patriot.

The toasts, which trunk in pure cold water, and responded to in eloquent and appropriate speeches, were as follows:

‘* The Queen.” God save the Queen.

** The Governor General and Parliament of Canada,” responded to by Senator How- lan and L. H. Davies, M. P.

“The Lieutenant Governor and Provin cial Legislature,” responded to by Hon. Neil McLeod.

‘*The Maritime Press Association,” re- sponded to by President Payne, Rev. Mr. Murray, Rev. Dr. Lathern, Mr. Bertram, Mr. Black and others. Proposed by Vice- Chairman.

‘*The City Corporation,” responded to by R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq.

‘**The Exhibition Commissioners,” re- sponded to by B. Rogers, Esq.,-and Hen. D. Ferguson.

‘“The Ladies,” responded to by Mr. Burgoyne, Mr. McLure, Mr. Mclsaac and Mr. Higgs.

Shortly after 12 o’clock the party broke up singing with joined hands that grand old Scottish song, ‘‘Auld Lang Syne.” The menu was as follows :-—

a At Dewy Morn. The East is blushing, The landscape flushing, The water's glowing A silver dream. A faint light billow Lilumes my pillow; The rooster’s crowing With joy supreme. The morning in shimmering gold is moulded, The robin chants in the tree-top tall: And at last the mosquito’s softly folded His murmurous wing on the cottage wall.

W here shadows darkle, ‘The dewdrops sparkle On lilies, roses, And other things. And for the lakelet, Ducklet and drakelet Now point their noses And spread their wings. The flower that seemed of the softest silk made, Cradles the bee on the mountain brow; And out in the sunshine the rosy milkmaid Adroitly manipulates the cow.

The frisky heifer Inhales the zephyr Scented with clover, Snowy and deep. Though bent on rising, With ease surprising I turn me over And fall asleep. Oh, I drop in a cat-nip, sweet and soothing, And wander through meadows green and bright, And forget that the blooming infant toothing, Has kept me prancing the floor all night.
