Throughout the evening the greatest enthusiasm DYBVMIGU. and the speakers were each given a rousing reception, the Premier being welcomed with prolonged and fervent applause. . At 8 0',clock Mr John Mullins, on motion. was appointed chairman, and having in a few introductory remarks explained the object of the meeting, called on Mr Samuel Kennedy, who gave s splendid address, which was warmly received. At the outset Mr Kennedy stated that he was there that night only because the people, respect- ing his deceased son as they did, had done him the honour to nominate him to flll the same place. He reviewed in e business-like manner the record of the Government during the past three and a half years, and called to the attention of the meeting the various beneilts which the country had gained as a result of the present administra- tion. He dealt ably with the financial question and the stupendous task euc- cessfully accomplished by the Govern- ment in reducing the Incubus of a debt of -$1,072,000 left by, their pre- decessors as a memorial of their ad- mlnistra_ti_o_n.- He spoke of the im- proVeln”e'ht"ll’l` regard to each Depart- CONDENSED ADB.

The Premier was the next speaker. He was received with enthusiastic applause. ln his characteristic style, eloquent and convincing, he addressed the meeting for upwards of an hour and a half, engaging the unflaggiug attention of the audience during the whole time, not a single moment of which was not interesting. His speech was punctuated with applause and there was not a. remark made by him _,which was not listened to with the I keenest enthusiasm. Before taking up his subject the Premier paid an elo- quent tribute to the memory of Mr James Kennedy, the late representa- tive of the district in the legislature. He said he could not recall in all ills long political experience any man who was more competent, more faithful and more valuable as a public servant in the legislature of the province. in ` his death the province lost one of the best and ahlest oi' her sons, and his native community sustained a stagger- ing blow. The party had always look- for his wise advice and able support. If for no other purpose than in honour of the memory of one of the most efficient, painstaking and honest pub- lic men of the province the electors should support Mr Samuel Kennedy, the deceased's father. who now stood in his place. Proceeding. the Premier gave a comprehensive and explicit review of the situation as it had been developed during the past three and a half years, from the bankrupt con- dition in which the Government found the province, up to the present period ,of prosperity and hope, pointing out convincingly and in a manner that no sensible man would dare to question, the reduction that had been brought about in the debt of the province, through the capable and effective nd- mlnistratlon of affairs. The special auditors who reported on the public accounts. the managers of two of’ the most influential banks in Canada, were in no way politically biased in regard to this province, and would any rea- hnable man suppose for a moment that those two gentlemen would risk their reputation, which they valued above everything else, by making false statements and committing themselves to paper. It was absurd to imagine that, and those who questioned the (iontlnded on page thrdoujv C COMPOBITOR WANTED--JOB AND ad. compositor wanted; steady l0b and good wages.

B., or Knight Commander of the Billil. 110011 M8101' General Hughes was received with much pleasure in military and political circles in the capital to-day, as the stamp of the King‘s approval upon the military task which General Hughes has per- formed so well since the outbreak of WBT. the honor will be regarded as well deserved. Sir Robert Borden is the only mem- ber of the Canadian Cabinet with a higher rank than Sir Sam, being a K. C. M. G. It is interesting to note that the title of K. C. B. is both civil and military. while the latter is hem by only one other military man in Canadian General Sir Wiliam Otter. Thus General Sir Sam Hughes is the second recipient of the military titlo K. C. ll. The title K. C. B. takes pre- cedence over that of K. C. M. G. or K.

The Turks, too, expect the French forces to be successful if the news reaching Sofia from Constantinople is reliable. in fact it is felt here that so far as the Dardanelies are concerned it is a matter of indifference whether the States lend a hu.ud as their assist- ance is not wanted. llowevcr, against Austria andalso to shorten the Turk- ish resistance iu the straits, it is hoped for. For this reason negotia- tions with thc near East capitals are being watched with interest. The de- cision oi’ Serbia on the proposals of the Quadruple Entente for satisfying the aspirations of Bulgaria which will be reached as. a council of ministers to-morrow is anxiously awaited. it is believed in London that Serbia’s reply will prove satisfactory and that Bulgarla's co-operation will be assur- ed. This would open the way also for an active policy on the part of Roumania who wants assurances that Bulgaria will not attack her before she commences to move her troops. It is confidently expected that all these questions will be scttled satis- factorily to the Allies and that within the same period the future policy of Greece will be definitely announced. Mcantlme Austro-German armies are aiming more heavy blows at Russia in the hope of putting her on the dc- fenslve indefinitely and permitting the removal oi’ some of their own troops to other fronts, particularly to Serbia and Italy, in the hope ol' re- peating their Eastern progress. The llussians are encouraged, however, by their naval victory in the Gull or Riga which has delayed Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's great outtinnking move- ment through Courland and are offer- ing very stiff resistance at almost D D ~ While the Russians are falling back East and South of Kovno lt’ is ex- plained by Petrograd that this was necessary to prevent them from being of the Nieman River from Preny, just South of Kovno, Southward to Gred- no, one of the few fortresses still held by them.

Sir George was in Prince Ed- ward Island latterly. “Recruiting ln Prince Edward Island,” he said to-day, "is good.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Sir Robert Borden had another important meeting to-day with the Minister of Munltions and the Colonial Secretary with re- gard to Parliamentary plans, it is stated the Premier deferred decision until he meets his colleagues. “There will be no coalition government," stated Mr Bennett. M.P., emphatically. As the Liberals agree there should be no controversial or political discus- sion, it must be apparent, unless they are prepared to crystalline these ideas into necessary legislation for an ex- tension oi’ the term. there must be an election. Concerning negotiations for increas- ed transportation facilities for grain and other products, hc said Sir Robert had placed before the Admiralty in the strongest possible light the Cana- dian position. The Admlralty's atti- tude is entirely sympathetic und. subject to military transport exigen- cies, every reasonable effort would bc made to prevent any congestion of Canadian traiilc.

Owing to the lateness of the season, which is two or three weeks behind, there were not so many entries as last year. but the quality lu the majority of instances was better than formerly. The exhibi- tors are beginning Io realise that they must send forward only the best of their products, with the result that the ofllcials had not so much difficulty as in the first two years in making the selections for exhibition. Sweet peas predominated, all kinds and varieties being exceptionally good. Stocks also made an' excellent show- ing, there being a large number for- ward. and both quality and variety were superb. Dahlias also presented a magnificent display, the table on which Mr Wanna- cot-t's exhibit was shown. attracting universal attention. There were about 40 different varieties altogether. the flowers being of great size and presenting a magnificent wealth of colour. Another stand which attracted atten- tion was that on which the roses and dahlias of Mr L. A. Haszard were shown. Although a little late In the season for roses, yet there was a good variety, all in flue condition. The dahlias were also of excellent quality, although In some instances here the flowers were past their bloom. The stand to the left of the plat- form was occupied by one of the best displays in the hall. so far as taste- ful arrangement and variety were con- cerned. It consisted in a background'ance| for the use of hortioulturists, of rock and other terms and palms. in which were intermixed some fine i :varieties of maidenhair ferns. This stand was for exhibition only, and was shown by Mr Jas. Tait, Jrss, a past master in the art of horticulture. Mr Tait was not a competitor in any oi’ the classes. Several varieties of hothouse exotic plants were also shown to advantage. The front row of this stand contained no fewer than 19 distinct varieties of sweet peas. Mr Tait had also a fine display of per- ennial phlox. On the stand to the right of the platform, the Rev. S. Trivett. Milton. gave a very flue display of a large variety of different flowers grown in his garden. Thesedncluded genon- lums. sweet peas and esters. The arrangement and wealth of colour of this stand drew expressions of ad- miration from visitors. The centre of the hall was occupied by a large exhibition stand prepared by large exhibition stand prepared by Professor Clark of the Experimental Station for educational purposes. Directly facing the door, this stand contained a display of 110 different varieties of sweet peas, arranged according to'colour. from pure white to the darkest magenta. The centre- piece was a magnificent bowl of Ken- tucky water lilies, of 5 different vari- etles. Worthy of special notice were sever- al varieties of climbing roses of dif- ferent colours. ln the centre of this stand was a quantity of literature bearing upon matters of agriculture and horticulture. to which the public were invited to help themselves, On the other side of the stand were shown a large quantity of miniature appli- tion. There was also on exhibition here a large number of samples of preserved vegetables and fruits in glass jars, through which the excellent state of preservation of the contents could clearly be seen. At the end of this stand a sample case of bees swarming around a sec- tion of honey comb In the process of manufacture, was a source of great interest. ()n this stand also were samples oi' grain and other produce from the Experiixiexitnl Station. At one cud a small exhibit of plant diseases common to the island. and their prcventives, was shown. These were most interesting and instructive ,to farmers and horticuIturlsts`. Among the diseases attacking flowers was nn exhibit of one which causes n serious loss amongst asters. the plants dying before they go into bloom. The black leg disease on potatoes was also illustrated. This disease has caused enormous loss this season, by 'killing the sprouts before they camc- nbove ground and causing misses. Examples of the disease were shown in preserving fluid in glass vessels. which could be easily seen and the various diseases leamed by those in- terested. A supply of literature on this important subject was also on band. The Committee consisted of: Hon- orary President. Hou. Murdock Mc- Kinnon; President, Mr J. A. Clark; Vice-Presidents. (Kings County) Mrs James E. Robertson. (Queens County) Mrs G. W. Hodgson. (Prince County) Miss Hunt; Secretary-Treasurer, Mr L. Tennant. Charlottetown.
