Tuose among us who are inclined to be downhearted will take fresh courage when they survey the Provinciai Exhibition of 1892. Even the people who declaim about ‘the exodus’ and fear the depopulation of the Island Province, must be convinced that there is yet “hope in Israel,” now that they have seen the procession of the schools. A muore pleasing and reassuring sight was never seen upon our streets. The exhibition building and grounds are, indeed, full of proofs that the people of Prince Edward Island are not lagging very much in the march of progress and do not intend to be besten very badly by their competitors in the Western States, the Canadian Northwest, or anywhere else. The fruits, the roots and vegetables, the grain, the butter and cheese, in the exhibi- tion building, could hardly be excelled, in point of quality, by similar products of any other country; while outside, upon the grounds, there are first-class sanimals—a credit to the country—in horses, cattle, sheep and pigs. The show of fruit, is, this year, as last, the prineipal and altogether most attractive feature of the exhibition building. There are hundreds of varieiies of fruits and hundreds of competing exhibits. No one will now presume to question the capability of Prince Edward Isiand to produce apples, the equal of those obtained from the An- napolis Valley and prized on the markets of Great B-itain and Europe. No one will avy that it is not advisable set about growing apples for those markets —which can never be fully supplied. There is also abundzat evidence that our farmers can, if they desire to do s», excel in the culture of small fruits, for which there is an increas- ing demand in a'l the great cities. The roots and vegetsbles on exhibition are not excelled by those produced upon the Northwest prairies, the fame of which is trumpeted throughout the world. There are upwards of a hundred exhibits of potatoes—all of large size and good quality—notwithstanding the bug. Mr James Burke shows seventy«three different varieties of vegetables —most of which, partic: ularly the cauliflowers—are remarkable for quality as well ae for size; and the exhibit of his brother, Mr. Richard Burke, is almost, if not quite as good. Mr. Edward Bayfield also has # good display. Mr. George H. King ex- cels this year in the exhibition of mangele, to sugar beets, parsnips, ete Mr, J. J. O'Rielly has given attention to the preduction of new varieties of potatoes trom the balls. Mr. Saunders, of Winsloe Road, shows a new var- iety of pota oes called flear balls jut we must remember that it is iuvidious to partic ularize. In grains there is an excellent exhibit of oats—white and black—wheat and barley Better white oats have not, we think, been exhibited in any previons year, while black oats and wheat are well up to the high stand ard of the past. Of butter upwards of seventy different tubs are shown, aud also a large number and var- iety of fresh butter exhibits—delightful to the eye and delicious to the taste of the con- noiseur. Women’s industry and skill in knit- ting and in fancy work was never better illus- trated than itis this year. The exhibits of socks and stockings, shirts, drawers, guernsey jackets, etc., knitted by skillful feminine hands will repay careful inspection. HORSES, CATTLE AND SHEEP. But we must hasten to the stables and the sheds. Here there are on exhibition about two hundred horses and nearly as many cattle. There is a very fair competi tion in the class et standard-bred horses, particularly of foals of 1892 and yearling and two-year-old fillies. Altogether, the largest ciass is that of carriage bred horses, not standard. Of carriage mares and geld ings, to be shown on the track, there are twenty-three competing. Of foals of this year there are thirteen. Of carriage fillies, three-year old and upwards, there are ten; and of carriage fillies two year old, nine. Two very nice youngsters are competing for Mr. George E Haghes’ spec’al priz> for foals by Physician. There is also a strong competition in the class of ro.dster and trotting stallions. But of heavy horses, generally, the competition is light. In the carriage stallion class, Parkside took first prize, Elmo second, and Golden third. In this connection it is very pleasing to note the splendid exhibits in horses and cattle brought all the way from Port Hill and Bideford by Mr. John Yeo, M P., and Mr. John Richards. Such enterprise, in these unenterprising days, deserves par- ticula: mention. Mr. Yeo exhibits a fine herd of pure-bred Herefords, and Mr Richards an equally good class of Polled Angus cattle. A herd of Herefords is also shown by Mr. Nelson, of Cornwall Neither of these breeds, nor yet the hardy Galloways shown by Mr Ferguson, were koown to this Province a few years ago It is pleasing to know that we are making some progress in a direction in which pregress is so much needed Mr. Ferguson also exhibits excellent herds and animals in Shorthorns and Ayrshires, while Mr. Brow shows beautiful Guernsey cattle—favorites among butter makers and butter copnosieurs A most noticeable feature of the cattle show*is the monster fat Shorthorns and Heref rds of Messrs Blake Bros. There ia a fairly large show of sheep in pure-bred Leicester and pure-bred Shrop- shire Downs, ete. Though the competition is not as strong in every class as we should like to see ir, there are on exhibition ani mals of the greatest merit. The larges: section ia comprised of thirteen pairs of ewe lambs of the short or medium wool grades. Other large and excellent sections is that of shearling Shropshire Down ram lambs, and grade ewe lambs of short and medium wool. In all there are one hun- dred and fifty-two entries of sheep—and many of the entries comprise a number of animals, PIGS AND POULTRY. The classes of pigs and poultry are de- cidedly larger than of last year. The principal exhibitors of pigs are Messrs. S T. acd J, W. Drake of Pownal, George J. thos Wright and John Berrigan of Charlotte- own Royalty, John Court, Millcove, W N Clark of North Wilt- shire, Robert Furness and Wallace Wuod f Lot 48, and John Stewart of Marshtield Mr. Berrigan shows two pairs of Yorks, two pairs of Berks, and Berkshire sow and s Yorkshire boar—all fine onen. Me. Court shows a splendid pair of Yorks five mouths old, Our reporter was unable this morning to identify the owners of the other exhibits. Eveiy coop of the vecupied, aud several of them had to he divided to make room forthe exhibits. It is evident that all the houses and sheds for poultry house was the live exhibit will so. n have to be en- larged. ARRIVAL OF THE S°HOOL CHILDREN. There was some delay in the movement of the procession of the schoo's, owing toa misunderstanding concernit the band But when at last, about hiif past eleven, the schools marche | into the grounds, each class headed by i's teacher, the sight was in the highest degree pleasing. There were about 1500 children. Prince Street School, headed by Princips!l Seaman, led the van, followed by those of Queen Squ: r and West Kent, the rear being brought up by the Model School under Mr. Arcenauli and Miss Scott, THE OPENING Shortly after twelve the President of the Exhibition called the assemblage to order and said,— Laptes AND GentLemen, — The directora of the Provincial Exhibition Association have mach pleasure in meeting you tor the third time under such favorable auspices and calling your attention to the exhilits now being opened. The entries of live stock exceed those of any previous years, while the great and important fruit industry makes a better showing than ever. In a gathering of this kind it is not nocessary to call your attention to these facts, The products of oar Island are now open for your inspection and speak for themselves. 1 now declare this exhibicion open, and cajl upon Mayor Haviland, who has always taken a deep interest ia our Exhibi.ion, to address you. His Worship the Mayor congratulated the president and directors of the Company upon the third annual Proviacial Exhibi- tion held under their auspices. He felt, on looking about the exhibition bu lding and grounds, that he was a citizen of no mean country. The show of grain and vegetables, of fruit and flowers, of butter and cheese, of sheep and cattle and horses, was, in his epinion, creditable to cur people and would take a high place in competition with simiiar products ef other and larger countries. He was present at the first exhibition held on the Island, in the year 1827. A wonderful advance has been made since that time, Goveinor Ready said then that the chief rescurce of this Island wou'd be its agriculture, and his words have proved tiue. But we must have mixed farming. It will never do to go on growing oats as our clief product and ruining our land. He was a believer in dairying as particularly applicable to this Province. He congratulated the settle ment of New Perth on being the first to make asuccessful effort in this direction, and commended the exsmple set by New Perth as worthy of imitation. SOME SPECIAL EXHIBITS, James Paton & Co. have a miniature representation of their immense carpet de- partment, in which they display sume «f the best things tn the line of carpets and rugs, kept on sile at the now celebrated ** Scotch Store.” The floor of the ror m in which the display is made is covered with imitation polished oak vil-cloth— something new and nice-and around the room are hung elegant chenille and ao XS ADDRESSES. plush curtains. In each corner of the room and at regular intervals along the sides are neatly arranged columns cf Brussels carpet, including samples of the 5-frame article they are «ffsring at $1.10 4 yard. Between the pillars of carpet are shown some elegant velvet rugs) The ceiling is artistically decorated with tinsel- embrorded drapery and autumn. leaf pattern plush. A large hall lamp hangs wm the centre of the room, giving the whole a brilliant appearance after night. Mr Sprague is in charge and wili cheerfully give any further information as to the quality of the goods and the prices that will take them, Messrs. Paton & Co. also make a large display of men’s ready-made clothing in heavy winter ulsters and over- coate, storm coats, reefers, and Melissa, English and Scotch waterproofs. There are in all some sixty-seven different samples. The exhibit is attractively ar- ranged along the front of the gallery rail- ing, and extends about half-way round the building. If you can’t get the patrern you want here, call at the store and you'll be sure to get it there. The firm claim to have the largest stock of readymade c'othing to be found in the city, and iuvite inspection of their ,oods and prices. Beer B-os, make an excellent showing of choice furs and ladies m ntles and jickets. It is doubtful if a better assortment could be shown by any other dealer in the Mari- time Provinces. In furs, they show some- thing very choice in ladies jackets, muffs and collars, especially handsome being the Persian lamb, Beaver and Sable. tn gen- tlemen’s wear they make a splendid show of coats. They also exhibit a novelty in the shape of foot-mitts, jast the thing for one’s feet when out sleigh-driving. Beer Bros. are known all over the Island for their handsome novelties in cloth jackets, capes and cloaks, and this year they invite special attention to the remarkable value they are cffering. The exhibit is tastefuily arranged. Mr. L. J. Sentner, who is in charge, will be most happy to make any explanations that the sight-seer may deem necessary. J. B Macdonald is to the front with a tastefully arranged exhibit of some cf the choice goods that may be ob‘ained at his well stocked establishment on Queen Street. The showing of ladies mantles and fur-lined cloaks is excellent, and is an especial object of interest to the gentler sex. The showing of fur goeds in ladies aud gentlemen's wear, is also attracting much attention. He shows ladies fur goods in the way of sacques, collars, shoulder tippets. bow, ete, in Persian} lamb, astrachan, Nutria and lynx; and a! good line of gentlemen's c a*s in astrachan, racoon and other furs. There is also a splendid sh:.wing of ladies’ fur gloves, col- lars and cuff, and some excellent things in the line of sleigh rohes. Mr. Peter Doyle is locking after the exhibt and will be! pleased to give any necessary information | or explanation | Piowse Bros, known throughout the Jength and breadth of the Province as the | stocked, and everything is of the best. ‘“‘Wonderful Cheap Men” because of the | mammoth bargains they are continually offering the people, make a good show of ready-made clothing. The display, how- ever, does not pretend to include samples of one half their immense stock—for they claim to have the biggest stock cf clothing on the Island. They invite all who may | be in doubt—as well as those who are nct | -to look through their premises and see for themselves. They guarantee to show | them good goods at prices that must < ffect | asale. Take a look at the samples at the | Exhibition and if you do not see what you want there call at the store and get suited. | You will be sure to get what you want in | men’s, boys’ or children’s clothing. ‘*The Wonderful Cheap Man” in charge of the, exhibit will tell you the same thing. Haszird & Moore have a tastefully ranged booth at the south end of the bui ing. They invite special attention to their | display of blank books, which is very large. | Mr. Gillespie, foreman of the book-binding } department, has taken especial pains to make this display one of the leading fea- tures of the show. ‘Lhey also show a large and e’egant assortment of stamped and printed stationery, which reflects credit on their establishment. Kveryone is delight- ed with the pictures they are showing. They are photegraphs and gravures taken directly from the work of the world’s greatest artists, and no visiter to the ex- hibition should miss seeing them. Either member «f the firm will be present all the time, and will be pleased to give every information. The McKay Woolen Mills show about one hundred samples of the cloths mana fac ured by them in tweeds and homespuns, besides a splendid variety of blankets, flannels, draggets and fancy dress goods The quality of all the goods shown is excellent and the display is. much admired They also show a fine range of readysmade clothing, made from Island tweeds, b sides a large variety of imported clothing. They offer good goods at low prices and guarantee satisfaction every time. Mr. Turner, or someone else connected with the establishment will always be on hand t. show the goods Mark Wright & Co., make a splendid show- ing of the leading styles of furniture manufac- tured in their establishment. They show a walnut parlor suite covered with silk broco- telle and plush, that is a gem in the furniture line, besides samples of other parlor suits up- holstered in Turkish rug, silk, etc. They also make an exhibit of reed and rattan chaire and bamboo goods. The display is surrounded by a railing of patent wire mattresses,and the space allotted to the firm is neatly carpeted. Mr. Arthur Clements is ia charge. He will be pleased to speak with visitors to the exhib- ition. The Piiuce Edward Island Seap Works make an exhibit of the dfferent qualifies of soap made ian their establishment, besides showing the celebrated Diamond Potash. The soap is all of excellent quality—equal if not superior to the imported article, and the potash is said to be the best obtainable ln the centre of the exhibit is a large cube-shaped block of the celebrated ‘‘ Maple Leaf,” which will be giv:n the person guessing its exact weight or coming the neares: thereto. Mr, EK. H. Beer is attendirg to the exhibit, and wil furnish a'l further particulars. Mr. A. S. Johnson, of Everybody’s Pills fame, has his cabinet decorated with neatly- ly painted signs explaining that the ‘‘dispens- ing of prescriptions” is given special ettention at lis establishment, and that the leading tent m-dicines and the celebrated Every- , dy’s Pills may be obtained there. Mr Theo. L. Chappeile, of the Diamond Bookstore, makes a grand display of Eng!ish, American and Canadian wall papers The as sortment of handsome dadoes, friezes, border. ings, etc , are well arranged and show an ex- cel'ence of variety seldom seen.

Stewart Burns, Erq., of Freetown, is among the visitors to the Exhibition. Mr. Robertson, of Inkerman, is a leading exhibitor of fruit. Mr. Frank Carter has a well stocked ‘cone fectionery and fruit stand in the main build- ing. Messrs. R, Hunt,of Summerside, and W. A. Brennan, of the Journal, are on the grounds to day. There are two or three execrable things in the art department—but generally the landscapo drawings are creditable. Mr. McQuaid’s collection of a hundred and fifty canaries, a number of pet dogs, two parrots and a crow, is again one of the attractions. Mr. Armstrong, of Montreal, arrived last evening. He is struck by the great ad- vance made in the Province since he was here five years og». le thinks that the quality of our fruit is better than that shown in Toronto Messrs. A & C. Quirk have been awarded the contract for supplying the refreshments this year, and will do all in their power to give satisfaction. Their booth is in the usual place under the grand stand. It is well- Willixm McLean, Esq , of the Merchants Bark of P. E. Island, recently returred from Toronto, says that in respect to reots and vegetables and many other products our Island exhibit compares more than favorably with that of Ontario, but in re- spect to black oats it is not up to the mark of the Premier Province. The N rthwest exhibit is now placed in position under the superintendence of J. Heber Haslam, Esq There are hundreds of excellent specimens of grains and grasses. Some of the vegetables have been damaged in transh'pment. This exhibition is an object lesson. There is an interesting little exhibit from our Government Experimental Farm, which comprises 15 varieties of white oats, 5 of b'ack, 12 varieties of wheat, 9 of barley and 6 of peas. This is worth noting as an evidence of improvement in respect to our Government Farm. re On the left of the seuth entrance to the exhibition building we have made a display of fursand mantles We wish to let every visit or to the city know, however, that the exhibit there, fine as it is, only gives a small idea cf our excellent mantle and fur departments. We invite you to call at our Store to see our main display. —Beer Bros. sep27 3i > See for yourselves to be convinced.
