GREAT BRITAIN. LONDON, Oct. 2.
A meeting in London of the shareholders | of the Great Western Railway of Canada | yesterday adopted a resolution approving | the policy of the directors on the gnestion | of the fusion of net receipts with the Grand | Trunk. Amendments to appoint a commit- tee of shareholders to confer with Boards of both companies, and that the Boards be instructed to defer any action which would tend to prevent fusion were negatived. It is understood that Col. Grey and James Ball, of Glasgow, two of the Great Western directors will go to America to confer with Vanderbilt and other railroad authorities.
Mayor Chard and Surgeon Reynolds, of
tork’s Drift, South Africa, fame, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. The Duke of Cambridge, commander ip chief, and other distinguished oflicers welcomed and congra- tulated them.
The agrarian oitrage near Castlebar, Ireland, wherein Messrs. Smith, agents of the Marquis of Shgo, were fired upon and one of their assailants killed, has created great exeitement. The Express, the Irish Times, and Dublin Evening Mail, declare it to be the result of the recent political agitation, and say: that the responsibility for it'and for similar violence that may be expected will rest on the heads of the agi- tators. The Freeman’s Journal says it will be unjust te charge the outrage on tenants, and believes the purpose was rob- bery.
The Londen Standard’s despatch from Simla says, sirdars from Cabul state there are five battalions of infantry and four batteries of artillery in Cabul or encamped without the walls Three battalions of in- fantry with sixteen guns are posted in the Citadel of Bala Hissar. The battalions are all weak, having suffered much from cholera and desertion, though the four Turkestan regiments which returned to Cabul will in- duce the rest of the troops to fight.
UNITED STATES. New York, Oct. 2.
Despatches received from Cheyenne at a late hour last night state that a report is current that Indian Agent Meeker and family and employees have been murdered and the agency buildings burned, but it lacks confirmation; also that Assistant Postmaster General Tyner and Governor Hoyt, of Wyoming, are with Thornbough’s command. In a fight at Mill Creek, 250 Utes attacked the troops in front while another body of Indians got between the troups and supply train. The troops charged the latter and recovered the_ wagons, using them, with dead horses and mules, fora barricade. Troops are hastening to their relief under General Merritt.
The town of Shakopee, Minn:, is re- ported burning. An engine has been sent from St. Paul to aid in subduing the flames.
CONDENSED DESPATCHES.
The British men-of-war ‘‘Achilles” and ‘* Alexandra” collided, the latter is leaking.
Unconfirmed rumors are in circulation that four regiments for Turkistan are marching to join the mutineers at Cabul. The cavalry brigade of Roberts’ advance guard reached Seabidabad Thursday. The whole expedition is expected to be concen- trated for an attack on Cabul on Sunday. The Baruckzar chiefs are in friendly rela- tions with the British. The people of Cabul asked three Kohistani regiments if they would fight the English. They replied they would fight the English if they went to Kohistan. ,
The disturbances in East Roumelia are becoming a guerilla war.

The Judiciary Reforms decreed by the Reichstag, throughout the German Em- pire,-came into operation Wednesday. *The election returns received indicate the suc- cess of the Conservatives. Herrs Tasker and Richleau, two of Bismarck’s chief op- ponents, are probably defeated.
A letter on Egypt's African Empire says: ‘“‘Gordon Pasha distrusts his native subordinates and is almost without Euro- pean assistance. Should he resign, every- thing will fall to pieces.” The London ‘Times’ has been semi-officially informed that he will resign as soon as the difficulty between Egypt and Abyssinia is settled.

Queen Victoria, in an exhortation tu English ladies on the importance of a knowledge of housekeeping, speaks of American women, saying: ‘‘No one can deny that, asa rule, they are ‘pleasant to the eye,’ and certainly do not usually sin in the way of neglecting their personal ad- ornment or in taking their full share in the pleasures and daintiness of this life ; yet, when the necessity arises, we have the war- rant of those who have t-avel'ed and lived in America for believing chat they can hold their own as useful members of the house- holds of which they are also the orna- ments, ”

Summerside Driving Park. MEETING——-REPORT OF KACES—MESSEN- GER BOY TO THE FRONT.
FALL
The fall meeting of the above park was held on Thursday last. The programme consisted of a stallion race, five year old race, three minute race and a foot race of half a mile. go as vou please. A large number of peo; le gathered to witness the days sport. Considerable interest was taken in the stallion race as it was to decide a vexed question—the championohip of the Island—but we ean safely say that this question is far from being settled. Of course Mr. Large’s horse has wun that honor but, at the same time, it must be taken into consideration that there were but two horses entered in this race.
STALLION RACE,
in this race there were but two entries— ‘* Messenger Boy,” owned by A. N. Large, of Charlottetown, and ‘* Dean Swift,” owned by Mr. Fitzsimmons, of New Lon- don. This race was for a purse of $60, a gold medal, and the championship of the Island. In the first and third heats several attempts to start were made before the horses were sent off. ‘‘ Messenger Boy ” won the race in three straight heats. Time, 2.45; 2.49;251. ‘* Messenger Boy” was greatly admired by the crowd. Those who profess to be judges of horse-flesh pronounce hin to be a very superior animal.
FIVE YEAR OLD RACE.
This race was for a purse of $50. There were but-two entries. Pridham’s b. m. ** Nelly,” and Brown's b. m. ‘‘ Tib.” This race was won easily by ‘‘Tib” in’ three straight heats. No time taken.
THREE MINUTS CLASS.
This race was for a purse of $40. In this as in the other races there were but two entries. Fitzsimmons’ ‘ Princess” and Wescotit’s ‘‘ Bismarck. This race was won by ‘ Princess.”
Fitzsimmons’ ‘‘ Princess ’—1 2 1
Wescott’s ‘‘ Bismarck” — 21 2
FOOT. RACE.
This race was a failure for the want of competitors. A Charlottetown runner— Bevan—seemed to puta stop to it. His reputation as a runner had reached the park before he did. This had a bad effect on some of the competitors, causing them to withdraw from the race, and as five could not be got to start it was declared off.
* * * *
The Judges of the above races were Mr. Robt. Crabbe, Charlottetown ; Mr. Smith, New London ; Mr. Prescott, Sackville, N. B.; Mr. Compton, St. Eleanor’s.
NO PAINS was spared by these having charge uf the park to make the affair pass off pleasantly. At the close of the races a row was started by some individuals, but they soon had to retire from the park—having been taught a lesson from which we hope they will receive some benefit. Only for this there would not have been a cross word uttered on the grounds. In connection with these races it is pleasing to state that no liquor was allowed to be sold at or near the park. For this alone, the managers deserve credit. i
A good deal of indignation has been aroused amongst our neighbors against the Philadelphia correspedent of the London Times, himself an American, who thought it his duty, in a recent letter, to expose the corruptions of the United States railway system, and the servility with which min- sters, members of Congress and judges, sub- mit their wills to those of the great railway

magnates. These railway princes, he says, are the real rulers of the country. The Times remarks that so severe a judgment
could only have been pronounced by an American. The journals of the capitals, political and commercial, and of the other chief American cities, reproach the writer with his want of patriotism. There will be a few independent citizens, nevertheless, who will thank him for having fearlessly performed an invidious duty, and will con- sider the best reply to his charges to be the commencement of the needed -reform in political morality. _—————_— + —m em +---- -- --—-
The completion of the Rev. Dr. Ryerson’s ‘History of the Loyalists of America, and
their Times from 1620 to 1820,” is announced. ‘The work, which ‘sg on an exhaustive and comprehen-
sive scale was undertaken by Dr. Ryerson in 1861, and has involved an immense amount of research and painstaking investi- gation. Dr. Ryerson has been aided in its preparation by letters and papers received irom the descendants of the U. E. Loyal- istsin the different Provinces of the Domin- ion, and in addition te consulting all the works on the subject attainable in Europe and America, he has derived many import-
ant dat. from works in the library of the British Museum, not to be procured _ elsewhere. He has established the falsity of - many
American histories of the Revolution and the period immediately preceding it. The conduct of the two parties during the War of the Revolution is compared, and a full account presented of the exile of the Loyal- ists from their homes, and their settlement in the Provinces. The Government of each Province is treated of, and the book pro- ceeds to trace the real and alleged causes of the war of 1812, doing full justice to the courage and patriotism of Canadians in de- fending.their country at overwhelming odds against successive American invasions. The work, which will be a valuable contribution to Canadian history, will probably be issued in three volumes.—Toyonto Mail.
