The horses were paraded this 1 in the presence of many admirin ; tors. The entries include 5 carriage stal- | lions, 11 roadster stallions, 7 carriage colts, under 3 yrs.: 9 carriage colts, under 2 yr 7 carriage mares with foal: 6 carriage fil lies, under 3 yrs.: 8 carriage fillies, a1 2? vrs : 4 cart stallions * Oo cart coits under 3 yrs.; 9 cart mares ; 4 cart fillies, under 3 yrs: Scart fillies, under 2; 11 fevals, sired by ag Barrister. The exceptional y tine action, color and points or ** Hernand: 6

were greatly admmred, and the young sta lious, sired by ** Royal Harry, and owned by Messrs. Mc Millan and Lea were also ol jects of much favorable com

ment. Mr. Peter Stewart's fine car nage stallion was also in faver with the public. The carriage fillies wer a very good class, and quite num-}| erous. The show of draft horses! was rot so larve as it sheuld have been.

The imported stallion Barrister was on the ground in splendid condition, and Mr Pickering’s horse was much admired cart marea were altogether a fine lot, ane their foals by Barrister are, without doubt, the finest as3zortment ef cart colts shown in this Province. Mr. William Auld, of Bannockburn, showed 9 splendid mare and a tine foa!; but as the foal was from the Reyal Harry, and not from a cart horse, first prize. Hon Mr. MeMillan’s splendid cart mare took a first prize, and was much admired. Sie would show well in any ex- hibition Mr. Alexander Martin’s mare and foal were well worthy of the prizes they drew, and of special mention. Sev- eral others deserved notices; and. of some. the least said the better

CATTLE. }

| The show of cattle was much too small |

sor the capabilities of the Province ; the entries numbering on!y 75 ; ; but some tirst- class animals were shown, The splendid | heifers lately purchased in Canada by | Henry Longworth, Esq., were a centre of | admiration and commenuation in this class, | They are, certainly, the finest animals of | the noble Durham breed ever brought to) the Province. Mr. Holland’s magnificent bull bas improved since he drew forth the admiration of the Nova Scotians and New Brunswickers at the Dominion Exhibition of last year. George Vessey, of Little York, showed a splendid short-horn bull 3 years old, and Henry Longworth, Esq., as usual led the van in the show of cows and heifers— closely followed however by Mr. Louis Jenkins, of Upton. Very fine heifers were shown by His Honor the Lieut.-Governor, F. L. Haszard, Joseph Tweedy, George Tweedy, William Heard, George Masun, Henry Lawson, and others, and there were a few very pretty calves on the ground. SHEEP.

There was a better competition in this class of animals than in any other. The entries numered 140, the greater proportion being in pairs and pens, so that the animels on exhibition nombered several hundreds, and al:ogether there was a very fair assort- ment, in Leicesters and Shropshire Downs. The leading exhibitors were H. Long- worth, Joseph Tweedy, Albert Boswall, Henry Lane, F. L. Haszard, Benjamin E. Wright. Mr. F. G. Bovyer, Georgetown Reyalty, deserved great credit for his ex- hibits; and some exceptionably fine ani- mais were shown by Messrs. Wheatley, Jehn Holman, John 8S. McLeod, James Dixon, John Smith and others. The pen of Oxford-Downs recently purchased at the Kingston ;Exhibition were, however, the great attraction of the sheep class.

PIGS.

Of the grunter class there were but twenty-three entries all told. But small as was the competition it showed that at least some of our farmers are honestly and successfully striving by careful hreeding to improve and beautify common things. Some of the pigs wonld have charmed the eye of Uecar Wilde. The magnificent sow shown hy

Hon, Lauchlan MeMillan was traly esthetic. ber usefulness is shown in the production every year of

a large litter of little ones, and her beauty is displayed in eating little and tak- ing on much fat. She is, we have no doubt, the finest pig ever ahown in Char- lottetown; and a gentleman who has trav- elled was heard to say that he never saw finer in England. Messrs. Rattray ,Crockett, Wright, Hyde, Robertson, Daffy, Lewis, McDonald, Berrigan, Brehaut, and His Honor the Lieutenant Governor were suc- cessful ¢xhibitors of animals in this class.

POULTRY.

Of poultry there were sixty three entries, and some really beantiful specimens. The light Brahmas were especially fine, and there were some very pretty Plymouth Rocks, Pencilled Hamburgs, ghams, Black Spanish, Polands and Cochins,among the fowls. The geese, turkeys and ducks were quite fancy, and were pleasing to look upon. It is pleasing to see a continued improvement in poultry; and we hope the Se will, eve long, be widely dif-

BUITER 4ND CHEESE.

It was very pleasing to note the arra: of butter tubs and baskets. There aa fifty entries of butter, eens several hundred - Generally the qnality was exceilent; and it was made evident that if our butter has lost rank in the markets of the world, the ignorance and

of the makers are the causes, and not any fault in our fodder or cli. mate. Better butter than that exhibited

Oscar Wilde at the Market Hail.

The Apostle of the Beautiful has been among us preaching (at 60 cents per head) the need of a greater love of the artistic in the decoration of our homes. He was greet- ed bya splendid audience, an audience that seldo u extends the same encourage- ment to local efforts which endeavour to elevate the taste of the community. Many present will feel disappointed at the lec- turer's almost monotonous manner of de- livery ; others,who can enjoy the chastened music, suftness, strength aud beauty of the Eoglish language, will remember. with pleasure the clear-cut chasteness and mel- ody of the lecturer's effort. One could not fail to notice Mr. Wilde’s serenity of mood, ais far-off expression, as though the pursuit of the beautiful (rather than the possession if it) was his prevailing passion and appe- tite. He, like Rosetti, Morris, Linton, Woolner, and Hamerton, has devoted him- self to the service of the beautiful, and one would suspect that he often chants the re- frain of Morris—

‘*Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,

Why should I strive to set the crooked straight ?”

Mr. Wilde on appearing before his au- dience was received with appiause. He apologized for not being in evening dress. He had just arrived by the boat, and thought it well to begin his iecture in his travelling costume, a light suit with knee breeches, looking both graceful and com- fortable,and,in its simplicity,probably more handsome than his velvet ‘‘fixings.’ In tones conversational and with an occasional ‘*pose,” the lecturer proceeded to give his ideas of ‘‘decorative art.” Hesaid that we could get along very well without phtlo- sopby if we surrounded ourselves with beautiful things. ‘This beauty of life which we call art, is no mere accident, bu a very necessity of man’s nature. He said that all good art is founded on honesty sincerity, and on telling the truth. Artis perfect praise of God, being the exemplifi- cations of his handiwork. The carving on the cathedral is a Te Deum in God’s honour, equally beautiful, and more lasting than that which is expressed in sung. He then proceeded to combat the arguments of the so-called practical men against the vecessity for beauty. This century had produced a prudigious amount of rubbish and much dishonest work. Every house- holder who furnished a pew residence dis- covered this in less than five years’ time in faded carpets, faded wall paper, and farni- ture split and twisted. Among the most beautiful things on this continent was the furniture of the early settlers of these colonies, Simple of design, yet honestly made, 80 that instead of depreciation in value, as did our modern furniture, we had the satisfaction of knowing that our grandparents used that fnrniture before us and our grandchildren would after we were gone. The highest art was in the correct portrayal of the men and things of the age in which we live, instead of going back to the mis-called romantic ages, and art should reproduce faces and forms we loved and revered. There should be in every city a good school of decorative art. There were many such schools in America, but t sheuld plese themselves in more im relations with trade; commerce and marofactures than they do at present. Art schools should also, at the outset, devote more time than they new do to making the com. mon things of life beautiful. He ridicuied the pretence of art which painted moon lights upon divner plates and sunsets on soup plates. He warned his hearers not to leave their good designers in dishonor or necessity or in return there is not a flower or plant in our fields or forests that they will net to the
