Canadian Rapid Telegraph

Company.

The

In the Moncton Zimes of the 28th ult, this

7

we find the following reference to Company :—

The Provisional Directors of the Canadian Rapid Telegraph Co., (limited) held their} first meeting in the Weldon House, Monc- | ton, N. B., on Monday last, and proceeded | with the business necessory to the organi zation of the corporation.

The cipital stock of this Company $500,000 in shares of S100 each, and stock lists are being opened in all the principal} cities and towns in the Dominion. The| individual shares being small none who are able to satisfy themselves that the enter ; | need be de-

ie one, i interested in the)

1s

prise will bea profitab barred from becoming Company. |

‘* At the last session of the Dominion Legislature a Bill was passed incorporating | the above Company. Its objects are stated | to be the furnishing of a cheaper and more rapid system of telegraphy to the people of Canada. The monopoly existing for so | many years past in this Island, which raised | the rates to a point jost below prohibition, | was, we believe, the reason which induced | the promoters of the new company to start their enterprise. lt seems incredible, but} nevertheless true, that the business men of | this Island, and others using the telegraph | wires, are Com] elled to pay, ist three times! the amount for their messages that a resi-| dent of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick | pays. Our insular position necessitates a | more frequent use of the wires than is cus- tomary amongst our neighbors; and the | prices we are compelled to pay to the pre- sent company are simply intolerable,

When the charter of the New York, New- foundland & London Telegraph Company | came to be closely examined, it was found net to contain the monopoly claimed. In fact instead of conferring upon that com- | pany a monopoly of all telegraphic com- | munication between this Island and the rest | of Canada it simply gave them an exclusive | right to lay the Telegraphic wires or cables | between this Island and Europe, or other parts of world be yond the continent of Amer- tua i

When this discovery was made several of | our representative men met at Ottawa and determined if possible to obtain a charter for anew Company. The difficulties were very great. Every step was disputed in the committees of both the Commons and Senate, and the last trench at the third reading of the Bill in the Senate was only carried in the face of the epposition of the Dotainion Government, every member of the Cabinet in the Senate voting against the Bill. To Senator Carvell, a great deal of the credit is due for the carrying of the charter. The outside public may wonder why the Government should oppose so beneficial a measwre. The worder will be lessened, when it is known that the present monopoly, which has already swallowed up all rival Companies, has a capital of over $100,000,000 in which they pay very large | dividends. They own a/l the telegraph wires of this Dominion, and a large portion of these of the United States, and possess an influence almost unbounded in and out of Parliament.

The capital of the new company is $500, 000, in shares of $100 each. I>: is claimed that with this sum the company can lay 2,000 miles of main line, and 1,500 miles of branch lines, including a cable between the Island and the mainland. Their charter cormpels them to forward messages of twenty body words to and from any part of Canada for twenty-five cents. When it is remembered that for ten word# to any part of the mainland beyond Sackville we now pay seventy-five cents, the great boon the starting of the new comp any would be to the Island will be at once anticipated. We see by the Moncton Times that the Pro- visional Directors met and organized in that town on Monday last. Wo shall en- deavor to obtain further information about the Company, and give it to our readers at an early day.

We understand that the company are to adopt a mechanical system of tele- graphy by means of which 500 to 1,000 words per minute can be transmitted over one wire. The effect will be greatly to lessen the cost of construction, to increase the capacity of the company’s wires, aud cheapen the cost of trans- mitting messages. ‘This system appears to have been in use by the American | Rapid Telegraph Company for the past three years und to have worked well.

We thiuk itis time something was dene to do away with the present exor- bitant telegraph rates charged to and from Prince Edward Island,

We are glad to know that any person may now put down submarine cables to connect this Island with the mainland,

Every person in Priuce Edward Island is interested in this great enterprise, and it should receive his individual encour- agemeut and support. We wish it every success, aud will recur to the subject again.

Sir Leonard Tilley.

THE opposition press throughout the Domivion have lately been directing their batteries aguiust Sir Leouard Tilley whose stock they say has fallen cousider- ably both fn the opinion of friends and foes. The Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Mail very effectually disposes of the charges laid at Sir Leonard's door, aud says: “When Sir Leonard became Finance Minister there had been a series of years of large deficits, depression of trade was general, work- men were knocking at the door of the Government for work. and the Govern- ment entrenched itself behind the door as the best thing it coulddo. Now there is *Mploymest for the people at high

fmoney

wages, enabling them to run up out of their surplus wages the deposits in the Post Office Savings Banks in Oatario and Quebee from $2,639,937 in 1877 to over twelve millions of dellars in 1883, to say nothing of the large sums of

deposited by the wage-receiv- clas: e3 ig the Government Saviog Bavks in the other Provinces. Now, there are cheap manufactures for the consumer and good prices for the farmer. Manufacturers, with the excep- tion temporarily of grey cotton, are tully employed, business generally, when judi- ciously managed, is prosperous, the large surpluses from revenue are expended in

ing

'the redempiion of the debt or in the con-

siruction of important public works, the interest on the public debt is decreasing each year, and, as will be seen in the

statement below, the interest paid on the ‘public debt of the Dominion for the last ‘fiscal year was $159,436 less th: nm was

4

peid tor the year 1881-82, avd $174,000 less than was paid for the year 1880-8?. The accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th have just been made up, and the result is as follows :— Receipts, $35, 888,234; expenditure, $28,805,229 ; surplus, $7,083,105. This is the largest surplus ever had in any year since Con- federation. The surplus for 1881-82 was $6,316,000. In neither case does the surplus include the proceeds from land sales in the Northwest. This is a most satisfactory exhibit, the expendi- ture being less than Sir Leonard in the budget speech estimated, and the receipts

yelbg greater.

Pittsburg Regatta.

ROSS AGAIN A WINNER—ELLIOTT DEBARRED FROM FURTHER CONTESTS—A GREAT RACE BY HOSMER, IN WHICH HE LOWERS THE RECORD.

At 1.40 on Friday last, Elliott, Hosmer,

Ten Eyck and Priddy, contestants in the FOURTH TRIAL HEAT

of the professional race, were called. Be- fore the start Elliott and Hosmer had a dis- pute which created great excitement. Hos- mer took the lead at once, but Ten Eyck and Priddy soon passed bim. When the quarter was reached Ten Eyck still led and s minute later Elliott crossed the bow of Hosmer’s boat, and both stopped rowing and turned back. Ten Eyck maintained the lead of Priddy, and at the buoy was three lengths in advance. Coming home

| Priddy made a splendid spurt but was un-

able to close the gap. Ten Eyck came in first; time 24 min. 38 sec. The judges an- nounced that the race would have to be rowed over. Elliott, whom the judges and referee believe touled Hosmer inten- tionally, has been barred from all races in

the regatta. THE FIFTH HEAT

was started at 2.15, with Plaisted in the lead followed by Layberger, Ross and Coulter in positions named. Layberger soon passed Plaisted and at the three quarters Ross forged to front. When the buoy was turned Ross was a length ahead with Coulter and Plaisted away back. The race home wasa splendid one, both men pulling an even sweeping stroke. Near the finish, Lay- berger spurted and closed the gap to half a length but Ross increased the distance again

|and came in one lengthahead, Time, 21m.

57sec. The first heat in the FOUR OARED RACE

was then called on and the Columbus of Alleghany; Queen City, of Baffalo; Coulter- Taylor crew, of Pittsburg, and the Mutual crew of Butfalo appeared, They started at 255 and got away in good style. The Queen City four jumped to the front, closely followed by the Mutuals, the Coulter-Taylor quartette third, Columbias in the rear. When three-quarters down the Queen Citys were leading the Mutuals a full length and were pulling 37 strokes to the minute. At the buoy the Queen Citys were a half length ahead, but the Mutuals reduced the cistance one half length on the last quarter down. The Coulter crew were two lengths behind the Mutuals, and the Columbias in the extreme rear. The Queen City quartette made an elegant spurt after torning and gradually increased the dis- tance between them and the Mutuals, and at the three-quarters flag up they were a good two lengths ahead and pulling a long, sweeping stroke. Inthis way they came up tothe quarter, increasing the lead at every stroke, and crossed the line five lengths ahead. The Mutuals’ time was 19 min, 42 sec. LN THE SECOND HEAT.

of the four-oared were the Bostons, of Boston; Blackmores, Pittsburg; Celtics, of Buffalo; and Ross-Weisgerber crew. The Celtics took the lead, with the Bostons second. At the three-fourths point down the Bostons got the lead and maintained it to the buey, turning it in good style by two lengths ahead of the Celtics, the Black- mores third. When three fourths up there was no variation in the positions and in that way they came down the quarter stretch, the Bostons winning by two lengths, the Celtics second and Biackmores third; time 19 min. 40 seconds.

HOSMER A WINNER,

Hosmer, Ten Eyck and Priddy then came out to row over the fourth heat, in which Elliott had fouled Hosmer. When they got the word, Hosmer shot ahead, Priddy second, Ten Eyck in the rear. Hosmer retained the lead and at the three- fourths point was a length ahead of Priddy, who also was closely followed by Ten Eyck. Here Ten Eyck spurted and passed Priddy, and commenced to make Hoemer pull. At the three-quarters, coming up, Hosmer was two lengths ahead of Ten Eyck. The letter elosed in on him, however, but not sufficiently to eatch him and Hosmer crossed the line the winner by a length, in the extraordinary time of 20 min. 3 sec., beating all previous records, Ten Eyck’s time was 20 min. 5 sec. Hosmer’s great feat created the wil ‘est enthusiasm and his quarters were afterwards besieged by an immense throng. He received his honors gracefully, and stated that if Ten Eyck fails to get the prize for his manly effort, he will divide the #250 purse which he gets for breaking the record.
