Finding that this position was not accepta- ble to the leaders of those who are for civic reform or to those who are against it, and unwiliing to split the Liberal-Conservative Party in the town on a question of merely civic importance, Mr. Blake left the field No one doubts that if Mr. Blake had fought it out he would have carried the election. At any rate, the Upposition had no candidate in Charlotte- town. Therefore, the election in the city was rot a test of the relative strength of the parties in the city.

A Very Creditable Record. Dvxine the past winter there has been a number of boats and steam launches built in Charlottetown ; and the steamer William, which was so badly damaged last fall, has undergone very extensive repairs. The latter was raised up four feet off the ice in the dock between the Ferry Wharf and Mr. R. MeMillan’s coal yard by Mr. Egan. This was a very difficult task to perform. She has remained there without budge during the whole winter while she was being repaired. The repairs are very extensive, the Lke never before being at- tempted in this city. The work done was the taking out of the three broken plates and replacing them with new ones and re- rivetting her from stem to stern, which kept eleven men in constant employment during the whole winter. The work was done by Messrs. McKinnon & McLean, and reflects the highest credit on that firm. Mr. R. McMillan, who is the managing owner, is well pleased with the work done, aud says it could not have been done better in Louden or Glasgow, which is a big com- pliment the workmen employed by Messrs. McKinnon & McLean at this steam- er. The William is just as good now as the first day she was launched, having had anew bviler put into her last summer. She is to be employed in the coasting trade, being chartered now to take a load of potatees to Boston as soon as navigation opens. Itis expected that she will be launched next Wednesday, under the super- vision of Mr. Kimble Coftin, of Mount Stewart, and itis to be hoped that the launch willtake place with safety. THE EXAMINER wishes Mr. MeMilian success with his steamer and hopes that he will be well repaid for his enterprise. A few years ago the property now owned by Mr. McMillan, was known as the Duncan Ship Yard, with hardly anything to be seen, since shipbuilding ceased, but mussel mud ; now it is converted into a coal yard, anda wharf built on it that is second to none in the city. Mr. McMillan bas onthe wharf two large coal sheds, business, and are well built, and excellent | specimens of workmanship. The boats are all the same model and size, being 174 feet keel, and 204 feet over ali, They are fine specimens of the skill of Messrs. McPhee Bios , and are pronounced by all who have seen them as excellent sea-boats. Messrs. | McPhee Bros. are to be congratulated on, their quick work, being very little over, three months in completing their contract. | They are good workmen, and anybody who | wants a boat built would do well to call on them. Mr. James Griffin has done ‘considerable work in the boat-building line during the past winter. He has completed a four-oared lapstreak boat for John Collings, who pro- poses to form a boys’ crew the coming sum- mer. She isa fine specimen of workman- ship, and reflects nvuch credit on her build- er, who has within the past few years built seven or eight four-oared lapstreak racing boats. The dimensions of this boat are : Length, 32 feet; beam, 3 feet; depth 14 inches. He has another four-oared lap- streak boat which he completed late last fall hung up in his workshop. She is pro- nounced by competent judges to be the best boat he ever built. She is copper- fastened throughout, and is 34 feet long, 3 feet 8 inches beam, and 13 inches deep. She is finely built, and the fact that. Mr. Griffia built her is sufficient guarantee of her good gualities. She is for sale, and we would advise anyone contemplating the purchasing of a four-osred boat to see her. Mr. Griffin has alao completed two pleasure HE DAILY EXAMINER, -.-.-.-- > _ MONBSS: icin saad Maal: | 7 5 ( . 5 \ | cll | ll ; Uh 3 eS oS >. + OS Fa pI, boats which he has sold, and are fifst-class specimens of his skill. boat built had better call on Mr. Griffin as he is a first-class workman. —_—- ——— <b> <a That Old Well. ——7 Acopy of the Morning News, dated June 8, 1844, handed Thz Examiner by a friend this morning, contains the following advertsement which, we think, fully ex- piaing the mystery of the well recently dis- covered on Pownal Street : PUBLIC WELLS. Tenders will be received by the Subscriber until the Ist of July next for Sinking and walling with Stone the fellowing wells in Charlottetown, the diameter ot the same at the bottom to be not less than 8 feet, and at the top 4 feet, and to be completed by the Ist day of September rext, viz., the present Well to be filled up by the con tractor. A Well in Hillsborough Street, near Morrison's; the present Well at the Cross into which he puts nut and rownd coal, and he has stages built from the wharf to the middle of the yard where the slack coal is kept on which he carries the coal on trollies the trollies holding about three-quarters of a ton. Hehasdoneaway with the old- fashioned hoisting gear—the horse—and has a steam donkey engine on the wharf, which can take, 159 tons out of a vessel in a day. Mr. McM#law has built up a coal trade of which any man might well feel proud. He is, we think, the largest dealer on the Island, and has a coal yard that will equal any in the Maritime Ceovinees. Of such enterprising men as Mr. MeMillan Char- lottetown ought to feel proud. The 8S. N. Co’s steamer St, Lawrence has been ready for sea since Saturday, and has her cargo—chicfly pork—on board, and will proceed to Pictou the very first oppor- tunity. The ice to-day looms up in ‘large fields outside the harbor. There is there- fore no prospects of a trip being made while the ice remains in its present posi- tion. The Princess of Wales will be ready in a day or two, and will also load up for Pic- tou. She will not make any attempt until the St. Lawrence succeeds in getting to Pictou. Both those steamers have been thorough- ly overhauled during the winter and are in first class order for the season’s work. The St. Lawrence has had her decks sheathed fore and aft with two inch planking. The painting of both boats has been under the supervision of Mr. Noah Waughan and re- flects mnch credit upon him aga workman, Capt. McLean of the M. A. Starr will take the command of the Princess of Wales for the present. Capt. McPherson takes his former _posi- tion as pilot of the St. Lawrence. The Southport and the Elfin have also been painted up and otherwise made ready, The Heather Belle has also been attended to. Me. Jefferson Gardiner has just complet- ed a handsomely modelled and well-built steam pleasure yacht with which he will, no doubt, enjoy the coming summer. She is 50 feet keel, 56 feet over all, and 11 feet beam. The engine, which is 20 horse power, is very powerful for such a small craft. It was built by Messrs. McKinnon & McLean, and it is expected that she will attain a speed of 10 knots an hour. * Jeff” is well pleased with her, and everybody who has seen her pronounces her a beauty. She was built by the Messrs. Mc- Phee Bros., of Souris, and reflects much credit ou them, the workmanship through- out being very superior. The planks used in her construction were 1} inch. She will have two sleeping berths, and seating ac- commodation for half a hundred people. We wish ‘Jeff’ succees with her, and hope that in her he will spend many pleasant suminer evenings. Mr. H. H. Crossman has also completed for Davies & Cairns a handsome craft in the shape of a steam launch. The workman- ship on this launch is an excellent specimen of Mr. Crossman’s skill. She is edge- planked and bolted all through, the plank used being 1} by 2 inches. The work is done so well that he would be a very close observer who could detect where the planks are joined in some places. Sheis 34 feet keel, 38 feet over all, and 8 feet beam. She is decked in half way with space enough left to comfortably seat twenty persons. She will also have two comfortable sleeping berths. The engine and boiler was built by Messrs. McKinnon & McLean, and she is expected to travel 8 knotsan hour. Mr. Crossman, we understand, will go to New- foundland and run her for Mr. Cairns. Mr. Angus McDonald has completed during the past winter, a steam pleasure yecht for Mr. H. Anderson, of the Ra)l- way Department. She is a fine specimen of workmanship, 34 feet keel, 38 feet over all, and 8 feet beam. She is to have first- class fittings throughout, and the engine, which will, we understand, be built by White & Son, is to be a double cylinder. Every- body who has seen her thinks well of her, and Mr. Angus McDonald is to be con- gratulated on doing such tine work, Messrs. McPhee Bros., the builders of Mr. Gardiner’s steam launch, have also built Street to be filled up by the Contractor. A Well in the same Street near Desbrisay’s Cor- | ner, JOHN O.

Sir,—I would suggest that the expense of keeping the Queen Square Gardens be borne this year by the City Government, the Provincial Government and the Domi- nion Government. Let the City Govern- ment give this year, say $300, and let the same be put in this year’s estimates. The ladies are tired of begging for this fund every year. Now is the time to see to this. The estimates for this year for the City Government will be submitted to-night. There is no time to lose. It is a public benefit, and the public should pay for it. CITIZEN.
