LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Provincial Exhibition, 1888.

Sim,—The approaching general Agricul- tural and Industrial Exhibition of P. E. Island, which takes place at Charlottetown on Wednesday and Thursday, the Srd ,‘and 4th October, has fair prospects, especially in the horse and cattle departments, to surpass all previous Exhibitions in this Province, and in the opinion of those who witness exhibitions cisewhere, and who know the superior character of our horses e:pecially our exhibits in these classes are not excelled at any of the large shows of the Dominion. Our prize list shows the different sections in which competition in this class is open. The imported horses are to compete against each other, but not against ‘‘ Island bred” horses. At the last meeting of the Board of Commissicners it was stated, in the interests of those who have imported brood mares, that sections should be opened for them, as well as for unported stallions, but on inquiry it was ascertained that buttwo orthree mares of this description were owned in the Pro- vince, and that it was ¢Ccubtful if even those would be entered for competition. This, together with the fact that the nura- ber of prizes for horses had already exceed- ed the amount allotted for that department, precluded the probability of opening sec- tions for these valuable animals in this year’s prize list.

An additional section, however, was added in Class 1—for ‘‘ general purpose ” fillies under 3 years old. This was deemed advisable, because of the fact that valuable young fillies, too light to compete with cart mares, and two heavy for the carriage sections, would be ruled out if a section were not provided for them as animals for ‘*veneral purposes.”

The special prizes offered for horses, so far, are from Mr. James Guard, Mount Roseland Farm, Lot 48, who offers $27 in cash prizes for foals sired by his imported shire horse ‘* Liberty,” to be awarded thus: For the best colt foaled in 1888, $10; second best, $8; third best, $5; fourth best, $4. Messrs. MacRae & Robins, of Bedeque, offer prizes for colts sired by their imported horse ‘‘ John E. Rysdyak ”’ as follows: Best, $6; second do, $4; third do, $3. The prize list was published before we received intimaticn of those special prizes, but they were published through the press, as will also other »prizes . which may be offered before the Exhibition. The very interesting prizes in the Floricultural Class by E. W. Taylor, Esq., Jeweler, also too late for publicity in the prize list, have received friendly notices from the press,and

e tor the best collection of assorted native firns, not less than three varieties, first prize, $1.50; second, $1. For the best collection of wild flowers, $1.25; sec- ond, 75 cents; third, 50 cents. Those cash prizes to be competed for by children. For the special cash prizes offered by W. E. Dawson, Esq., hardware merchant, see prize list, page 10, class 10. Those prizes are calculated to cause keen competition among painters and carriage builders. They are offered for the best varnished carriages, varnished with ‘* McCaskill’s Standard Varnish.”” Special prizes are al- ways interesting features of exhibitions, and it is hoped that encouragement will be given in other classes also, by those who take an interest in the promotion of local jindustries. Av entry certificate has been ;prepared for exhibitors this year, which jwill greatly facilitate entries in all classes of the Exhibition, especially in the cattle, |sheep, pigs and poultry classes. Those entry forms, together with prize lists and programmes, are to be had at the offices of the Secretaries of Prince and King’s Coun-| ty Exhibitions, as well as at the office of the Provincial Exhibition Secretary, and every exhibitor in the different classes would do well to get copies of those papers, by which he will be able to enter correctly his exhibits, and thereby avoid mistakes which have in the past too frequently oc- curred.

The travelling arrangements, at greatly reduced rates, which have been secured by trains, steamboat lines, Intercolonial rail- way and eastern extension, are being ex- tensively advertised, and cannot fail to bring together at Charlottetcwn, on the third and fourth of October next, the larg- est gathering hitherto witnessed at any of our P. E. Island Exhibitions. Yours truly, A. McNEILL, Secretary.

Notes from Marshfield.

Considering the very broken weather, the crops are being rapidly harvested and pro- mise an abundant yield.

The new Temperance Hall is now well under way, and is expected to be completed before the arrival of Mr. Frost. It is to be hoped that the sight of the new building will be instrumental in the resuscitation of the already defunct 1, O. G. T., and inspire them with fresh vigor in their labors for fallen humanity.

The Sunday School children must have enjoyed themselves here this summer, for we have had no less than four picnics.

Tue Rev. Mr. Mahon, since his return from Ontario, has been doing an extra amount of the good work.

The Rev. Geo. Sutherland, after an absence of twenty-two years, paid a visit to this place and preached a thoroughly digested sermon with his not-forgotten eloquence, on the evening of the 11th, and on the following day paid a visit toa few of his old friends—-the greater number hav- ing gone to that bourne whence no traveller returns.

It is passing strange that the prominent Grits here have nothing to say about the stand taken by their leader, Mr. Laurier, concerning the present difficulties with our Yankee neighbors. Would it not be ad- visable for them to procure his patriotic (?) speech at St. Thomas, and advise him as to how he should act in the future ?

Our new school teacher—Mr. McEwan— is laboring hard to get the school out of its former lethargy.

Climate for Consumptives.

Professor Knight, of the Harvard Medical School, read a paper, not long ago, before the toston Society for Medical Observation, on the choice of a climate for consumptives. Some of the ideas advanced may be of value in families in which Tue Examiner is read.

Patients who have cavities in their lungs, and those who have severe hectic symptoms, especially if they are poor, should not leave home; nor should those who have any acute affection of the lungs do so, during the acute stage of the disease,

lf, in the early stages of consumption, com- plete cure can be hoped for, a climate is to be chosen in which the patient can remain throughout the year. If, on the other hand, nothing more than temporary relief, and sone prolongation of life can be expected, a mild winter climate is recommended.

While consumption presents a variety of phases and conditions, making it impossible to lay down fixed and invariable rules, it may be said that in general the first object aimed at by a change of climate is to enable the patient to live an active, out-doer life, for the purpose of assisting nutritien of the lungs,and this is best atteined ia a situatien at an aiti- tade of four thousand to eight thousand feet above the sea level.

Dry and puce air, a good proportion of clear days, and a rarefied atmosphere which compels greater activity of the respiratory organs maks a mountainous country the best for this purpose. Those for whom high alti- tudes may be recommended are:

(1.) Patients who show no more alarming symptoms than a morning cough and expec- toration. For them Colorado and New en ico are suited,

(2.) Those who have some consolidations of the lungs, but no cavity, nor any serious con- stitutional disturbance. For persons who ex- hibit such disturbance,—a high pulse and temperature,—a lower altitude should be tried first; say the pure regions of Southern Georgia for the cold months, and then, if there if there is improvement, a more elevated region;

(3.) Cases in which there is early and fre- quent hemorrhage, without much otber evi- dence of disease. The mountains are pecu- liarly suited to persons of this class; and,

(4.) Persons who are recovering from acute diseases of the lungs. But in these cases great care should be exercised, lest the steps taken to ward off permanent pu!monary dis- ease, have an evil effect upon other organs weakened by sickness.

Patients in whom tubercular disease*has in- vaded the larynx should on no account be sent to high altitudes, They need mild and moist climate, like that of Southern Califor- nia. Moreover, those who bave a tendency to irritability of the bronchial tubes, and ner- vous persons, do not do well in high altitudes. A very high altitude should, not as a rule, be recommended for any patient over fifty years of age.

Georges Testimony.

a

It is reported that in the course of an interview with a New York reporter, Henry George said:—‘‘It is true that I was the first one to inform Davitt and Parnell of the Phoenix park assassinations. | was in London the Saturday night when the murders took place. Abcut four o’clock Sunday morning I received a telegram from Dr. Kelly, then of Dublin, but now surgeon

News of the murder in Africa of Major

of Henry M. Stanley, has given rise to speculation regarding the fate of the ex- plorer himself. London Newspapers are unanimously of the opinion that Major sarttelot was betrayed by Tippo Tib, who organized the native portion of the expedi- tion and the guestion is asked why may not Stanley have been alsoa victim of his treachery.

A dispatch from St. Paul ce Loando states that Major Barttelot was shot July 19th by his Manyema carriers. The head Arab and his men thereupon ran Stanley Falls where Jamieson is making ar- rangements with Tippo Tip for the organiz- ation of an expedition. He will proceed as quickly as possible.

of the Sixty-ninth regiment,and a physician ‘at Charity hospital, this city. I was shock- 'ed when I read the telegram. Davitt had ‘just been released from prison, and had ‘come home with Dillonand Parnell. I | went immediately and woke Davitt up and ‘told him of the assassinations. He woke lup Dillon aud Dillon sent for Parnell. Parnell was horrified and deeply moved when he heard the news. It is true that he wanted to resign at once from Par- liament, and that Davitt used all his powers and succeeded in preventing him ‘from taking the step. There is not the slightest doubt about Parnell’s utter horror lof the deed. I can testifyto that. The news came to him like a thunderbolt from 2 clear sky. The meeting between us took place ina hotel. The uname has slipped my memory, but I could tell it to you if I ‘had time to examine my papers.
