This and pothiog more, It ill becomes the Patriot to mention black ducks. Its supporters in King’s County did a disgraceful and extensive trade io that industry during the late Domivion cam- paign. The black duck movement belongs to the party which owns the fatriot That party have patented the process and nove other than Grits would be mean enough to infringe upon the Party's patent rights.

gable highways, ete., it is evideut the editor has not been abroad. Those who travel in the country are well

pleased with the condition of our roads aod bridges. Under no Goverumen did they ever see them better, and as the Patriot alone is the only complainant, we believe the highways, bridges, ete., must be io a highly satisfac.ory condition. As we have said before, the Patriot need not fear an election till the end of the term.

-Professor Kenaston of the Canadian Pacific Railway exploration staff, who, accompanied by other members of the staff, has recevtly been making an ex- ploring tour of the Northwest, haviog returned to Winvipeg was interviewed by a represeptative of the Sun. “We found said the Professor a great deal of good agricultural couutry, but we found also a great deal that was very poor There are -ome good settlements on the Red Deer River and on Butcle River, and inthe neighborhood of Edmouton I might say that the crops in these localities although late looked excellent. The potatoe crop was good. We had fresh vegetables at Edmonton on the 5th of July. At Battleford we bad new potatoes shortly alter. Referring to the character of the land | might say that almost the entire way we found good land, which is suitable for agricultural purposes. Settlers are pushing north from Regina to Qu’Appelle River, along which there is a tract of country of great beanty and fertility.”

“Did we see much frost? Yes; it will be impossible to grow grain in cer- tain parts of the country through which we passed for years, wutil the country is opened up, when the climate will change. We had a severe blizzard and a fall of snow ov the 31st of May at Sullivan's Lake. Around that aud Buffalo Lake the ground is very low and wet, and severe frosts are often experienced during the summer. We found the weather during our trip exceedingly dry and pleasant. We were not delayed a single day by rain.”

‘‘Mention the chief defects? Well. the chief defects that I observed are the lack of building stone, aud in many places the lack of timber. We generally found timber slong the streams, bunt it was principally poplar, which is the characteristic wood of the country. In some places we found spruce and tamarac in cousiderable quantities. We found pumerous seams of coal along the banks of the Red River and in other streams tributary to Battle River. It is lignite more or less friable, which means thai the action of the weather on it causes it to break up. From the fact that they were so numerous and so widely spread, it is safe to infer that the deposits are arge.”’

—A correspondent of the Patriot thinks that our reference to Col. Hick- man was both ungeverous and unjust. He fiuds traces of these qualities in our re- mark upon the lecturer’s eloemtion. Still the fact remains that he spoke so loudly that the noise often drowned the speech, | and one had to go through a process of sifting and reconstructing before ove could catch his meanivg. It was uot unjust to Col. Hickman to say so, for the Colonel himself maintained that in telling the plain truth to an erriag, mis- guided brother, he acted the part of a friead. Aod he is reidy, doubtless, to be treated by others as it ia his habit to treat them. Of course it may seem 4 small thing to make comments on the style and diction of a man who has de-

Fo unaffected utterance of a simple truth has far more weight than the affect- ed utterance of great truths There was no intention on our part to leasen the Colonel’s success, or to retard the temperance movement. There was indeed, a lument that the temperance | work had largely fallen into the hands of men without personal influence. Perhaps it was wrong to say so. It has to be coufessed, in the words of Prot. Blackie, that the bores and the uninteresting mev are generally the ones to do the world’s work of reform, while the critics who know sc much better how things should be done conteut themselves with criticiz- ing. Still,itis pot an inference from this that, because a mao is uninteresting and a bore, be is therefore a sharer in hat reform. We simply said that tae doings of temperane® orders have been disproportionate to the parade; but we admitted that they deserved thanks for what work they did. Surely this criticism does not show moral and spiritual indifference. Surely we need not, at this late day, to clear ourselves of hostility to the temperance movement. We would merely like to see it divorced from the trappings that conceal it.

Presentation of the Prizes

™¥Y THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AT THE DRILL SHED LAsT EVENING—A GOOD TURN- OUT OF CITY MILITIA.

Four Companies of the City Militia, num- bering in all about 125 men, in parade uni- orm, assembled at the Drill Shed last evening, to take part in the presentation of the prizes by the Lieut. Governor to the fortunate winners at the recent Provincial Association meeting. The different Com panies represented were No. 1 Co. Garrison Ariillery, under Captain Passmore; No. 2 Co. Garrison Artillery, under Captain Moore, beth under charge of Major Irving; Charlottetown Engineers, Major Dogherty commanding; and No. 3 Co. 82nd Batt., commanded by Captain D. Stewart. The Band of the 82nd Battalion was also in attendance.

The Drill Shed presented a very lively ‘ppearance. Before the arrival of the Lieut. Governor the men were put through some drilling exercises, which showed that they were not deficient in this respect owing to the careful training of their super- ior officers, and the interest which they ‘hembelves have hitherto manifested in the snecess of the different companies to which hey belong Avother thing especially

oticeable, and one to which the Governo; in his speech alluded, was the tidy and cleanly appearance of the men. At half past eight o clock, Governor Haviland, with his aide de canrp, M:jor James Peake, marched into the builaing, and were greeted with a roysl salute, the band playing ‘God save the Queen.” The Governor at once began the distribution of the prizes, each winner being loudly applauded Tie prizes won in the Nursery Match were pre- seated first, and those in the Consolation Match last. Lieut. McGregor of Ne. 3 C.. S2ud Batt., received the two silver meda's, one given by His Honor Judge Young for highest score in the All-comers Match, the second by His Exceilency the Governor General for highest aggregate in ill the competitions. The bronze medal for second highest aggregate was won by Lieut Crockett, of No. 4 Co., who unfortunately was not present to receive this testimony of his shooting ability.

The destribution of prizes over, the men paraded before the Governor for a short time to the music of the Band. Soon afterwards they formed in a rectangle and His Honor addvessed them in a few spirited and appropriate remarks. He said that it was a great pleasure to him, to have the opportunity afforded him, of making this presentation of the prizes in the Driil Shed to-night. He had always taken a lively interest in the welfare of the Active Militia of this Province, and at one time, he himself used to fee! proud of belonging, if not to the Militia, to the cld Corps of Volunteers. They had some good shots then as well as now, and he was glad to see that some of them had not lost tueir prestige yet. It was with feelings of pride that he presented this evening, those his former associates in the service, with the prizes which they had recently won. The Governor then alluded to the fact, that for the first time in their history, the Pro- vincial Militiamen would shortiy have the privilege of going into camp where they would undergo a discipline similar to that of regniar soldiers. Our men have not the advantages of those belonging to the other Provinces. Take for instance Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they could observe to their own advantage the Milituy manceuvres of the regulars stationed in that city. Soll he thought that notwithstanding these disadvantages they would compare favorably with the Militia of other parts of the Domirion. He complimented them warmly for the soldierly appearance they presented, and hoped that, unlike other movemeuts that have been started here, and which erjoyed but a short existence, our Militia would long remaia to protect if need be, ths Island Home of ours. Three ringing cheers were then given for His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, and three more for the Queen, after which the Companies quietly despersed.

WITH TEEMER SEUOND.

ROSS WINS

The professional race at the Point of Pines on the 24th inst., for a purse of $500 was close and nothing occurred to mar it in any way. The race was announced for}4.30 p. m., and perhaps 5,000 people gathered on shore to witness it. There were enter- ed George Hosmer, Wallace Ross, George Lee, James Riley, F. A. Plaisted, W. Elliott, J. Casey. M. Argri, J. McKay, George Gaisel, John Teemer, James Ten- Eyck, Frank Hilly and Daniel Driscoll, and all but the last two appeared at the line. Position having been assigned in the order vamed from the inside, it was known that Ross and Teemer would have a warm siruggle, and it was probable that Hosmer and others would make it warmer, but Hosmer was not in conditfon and the rest showed determination in their favor. The course had been laid out three quarters of a mile, making three turns necessary to complete the three miles. There was little delay in getting into place, and at 4.39 p.m. they were away. There was little scatter- ing and very good steering, and they reach- ed the upper stake boats in close order, turned rapidly and were off the down course. It was seen that the young sculler from Me- Keesport had the lead with Lee and Hosmer so close to him that he had no time to spare. He finished the mile and a half in 10 min. 22 sec.. and had turned three seconds later, Hosmer 10 min. 37 sec., Ten Eyck 10 min. 43 sec., Ross 10min. 52 see. Koss put in a spurt that rapidly speeded him to the front, where, he made a race with Teemer for the rest of the way, Hesmer and McKay iouled at the upper stakes in going around the second time. When within a quarter mile of the finish Ross was well ahead of Teemer, and appar- ently playing with the boy, who seemed pretty well pumped out. The former al most stopped once and then pulled across diagonally to the cross line farther inside, while Teemer spurted for the finish but could not catch him. Ross came in first in 2imin. 21 sec,, Teemer 21min. 27 sec.; fen Eyck 21 min. 35 sec.; Hosmer 22min. 47 sec.; McKay 22min. 50 sec.

A London Scandal.

LORD CHARLES BERESFORD TAKES TOO MUCH WINE AND INSULTS THE FRENCH AMBA@6A- DOR.

A great social and diplomatic scandal has just transpired. M. Waddington, — the French Minister to London, was given a special entertainment and dinner at the house of a noble lady at her summer retreat at Cowes, on the Isle of Wigh', on the 22ud inst. The occasion was graced by the prerence of the Prince of Wales, The French Minister was accompanied by Admiral Keppel. Everything went well and merrily until after the ladies retired from the table and the cigars and light wines were brought in for the gentlemen. The conversation soon drifted to the Chinese war and then a debate was started by Lord Charles Beresford upon the merits of the English aud French navies. The hero of Fort Meks grew wari with wine, and he gradually became very offensive in his remarks. The efforts of the Prince of Wales and others to check him into de- corum served but to make him pugnacious. He fell to ridiculing the entire French fleet, and wound up with the statewent that he could take the Condor, the little gunboat with which he moved around Fort Mcks during the bombardment of Alex- andria, and chase the whole French fleet in Chinese waters away from the Annam coast. M. Waddington considered Lord Berseford’s conduct so extremely insulting that he arose from the table, demanded his carriage, and actually left the house.

e hostess followed him, and after most earnest solicitations finally persuaded him to refrain from going to a hotel and re-enter her house. In the meantime the British officers {present compelled Beresford to leave the place, and such was ihe noble Lord’s resistance to this treatment that his ejectment practically amounted to being kicked out. Every effort was made to hush up the mattery but nothing could suppress M. Waddington’s indignant denunciation cf the treatment to which he had been sub- jected,'and the aifair was the scandal of London,

Four persons were drowned at Wells,Me., on the afternoon of the 23rd, while bathing, being carried out by the undertow. They were :—Miss Emma Gould, of Andover, Mass.; Mr. Greenough Thayer, of Cam- bridge, Mass.; Miss Hattie Sefford, and Eddie Little of Washington, D. C. Others narrowly escaped,

The London Standard’s correspondent at Hong Kong says a steamer from the south reports that as she passed here the French flect was seen moored opposite the forts de- fending the town, which seemed to be in French hands. A quieter feeling prevails at Canton.
