“ Tomorrow the_ Provincial Exhibition closes. There were causes operating both for and against the success ol the exhibit- ion this year and fortunately the former won out although perhaps not to the ex- tent anticipated. The weather, bn the open- ing days, was somewhat unfavorable but its unfavourableness enabled many farmers to attend who, with better weather condi- tions, would have been unable to leave their harvest fields. The number present from the neighboring provinces was per- haps not up to expectation but on the whole the attendance was not much below that of the largest previous exhibitions.

Owing to the lateness of the harvest the

grain and vegetable exhibits were some- what below the mark and fruit especially, although there were many excellent sam-l ples, was considerably below the average.

As a correspondent last year put it, “the

shadow of the war” hung over the exhibit- ition.sLarge gatherings in recent years have for many reasons partaken of a som- breness known only since the war began Few there are who have not been touch- ed by the grim shadow and the conscious- ness of this multiplies itself in every large gathering. It was noticeable that the “fak- irs” did a less thriving business than or- dinarily, probably for the same reason. It was noticeable also that the sideshows, fakirs and otherwise, outside of the Ex- hibition grounds, attracted almost as many spectators as did the Exhibition itself. Ozi the Market Square where the usual oppor- tunities were afforded to ,procure some- thing for nothing, or nothing for some- thing, as luck would decide; also on Pow- nal Square where a near circus with sim- ilar opportunities, plus a glance at the fat woman, the human fly, deadly, though for the occasion harmless snakes and other monstrosities afforded food for reflection and for blowing in surplus earnings, there were large .gatherings day and night and considerable cash changed hands the maj- .or portion of itremaining finally with the showman. ‘ '

It was remarked by many “financiers”

that had all these “attractions” been held within the exhibition grounds the exhibit ion would have proved a much greater suc- cess than it did. This is doubtless true, if we measure success by the number who pass through the gates. The number in at- tendance is certainlv a measure of the suc cess of an exhibition but not the whole nor even the principal measure. The design of an exhibition is to afford a practical illus- tration of what is being done agricultur- ally,_industrially and comme-rically in thc province, of 'how to do better in each line and to award prizes to those who are set- ting the best example. If it were true that the successof an exhibition depended up- on_attractions that have nothing for their object except to amuse and to extract mo- new from the spectators, the great majority of_ our exhibitions here and elsewhere mi_g-ht be_ classed as failures, however; the original intention of our exhibitions is al- ways _carried out;_ the _lessons in agricul- ture, in industry, in commerce are taught and learned and prizes are awarded to those who 'have earned them. Nevertheless it is still true that attractions, fakirs and fat wo_men and snakes and the rest of it,'if you will, are necessary to make our exhib- itions a success. We are not justifying the necessity but simply stating a fact. The proportion of men and women, staid old men and women, who are really attracted by the_fat woman and the human fly of the showring, and who will even try conclus- ions with _the fakir at the latter’s own game, is bigger than most of us care to ad- mit and to our discredit or othenwise, they are all needed to make an exhibition _a success.

THE WVAR _._

_ The end of the unspeakable Turk is now within measureable distance. His expulsion from Europe, and from Asia also, for that matter, has received a_ very emphatic im- petus during the period covered by our despatches of the past few days. The Turk has been one of G_ermany’s strong arms and the paralysis which has now struck him will have its effect upon Germany.

the British Navy is one of the most impres- sive things, in the world today and is i k_eepi_ng with if/s immensity and, the posi- tion it occupes in the government of thf world. We cannot imagine it boasting of what it is and does or of its having swept an ocean of pirates. That, under-Provid- ence, is its prerogative, the reason for its

Duiing the past four years millions ' men have been carried across the Atlantic,; across the English Channel; some hund-1 'eds of German 'submarines have been sent‘ to the bottom; the German fleet has poked its nose out from behind the defences at‘ Kiel and slunk back on seeing the grim, spectre awaiting it; in short the seas of thef world have been kept free for commerce,i for passenger service, for mails, for bus-f iness asiisual. because of the omnipresencei of t'he British fleet and never a boastful? whistle has sounded, never a jubilant shout, has been 'heard from the navy or from the world. The British flag is reverently hoist-I ed to the peak every morning at sunrisel to the strains of The Natipnal Anthem,l reverently lowered at sunset to the same; accompaniment and day and night the fleeti keeps a grim. silent watch over the Seveni Seas and protects the trafiic of the world. | “You may take the wings of the morning!

To the blooinin’ red' rag overhead/’! What the British Navy has done and is,

doing for the world transcends shouting. is too stupendous even for conception. Grim, silent, watchful, everywhere, al- ways, the navy is there and the world looks to it for protection, accepts it silently f a matter of course, as it 'accepts the sun- shine and the rain and' the seasons that bring their various harvests.

Through the four eventful years that

have passed, through dark as well as hope- ful days, whatever may have been feared it never occurred to anyone that the Brit-_ ish Navy should fail; it is there, here ev- erywhere, like the sun in the heavens and its fall is as unthinkable as the fall of the sun. This feeling of shelter and confidence in the Navy has become an inherent hu- man faith for the protection it affords is not enjoyed by the British Empire alone but by the world. The world’s seashave been made_ safe and are kept safe by . and only pirates and-lawbreakers fear it.
