Brow General Agent Charlottetown | THB DAILY EXAMINER. ane ~~ JUNE 8, 1897. THE PETREL- Tue very partial returns brought down in the Senate regarding the steamer | Petrel throws some light on this huge blunder of our able Minister of Marine and Fisheries. It appears tha: Mr. McElhinney wasinstractedtoexamine and report on this, boat, which he did very cautiously on the 8th of October last. He said that the, Petrel was properly constructed for towing | rafts and takiog charge of wrecks, and having a forty ton water tank at the stern was adapted for going into ice and that she was the most suitable vessel he was. able to find in Cavada. But: be was careful to state other facts | such as that the computed nominal horse power was only 22, which should, satisfy the merest tyro ti«t she could do. absolutely nothing in the Siraits of North-| umberland during the wiuter months. On the very next day, however, the offer of her owners was accepted for $6,000 charter money, and ihe fiasco commenced. | The returns say that the made round trips" between Summerside and Cape Tormen-— tine on the 13th, 14th, and 18th of Decem- ber, 1896, and that similar service was! rendered between the Capes on the 2od,' 6th, Tth, 8th, llth, 13th 14th January, 1897. The people most imme- and of diately interested are best ab’e to decide whether even this very insignificant service was really rendered. The return tself shows that no trip of any kind was made from the l4thof January to the l7ih of April—s period of over three months—aud that her inglorious winter’s work was wound up by making round trips from the 17th tothe 24th of April inclusive. The return alleges that seven mails and forty-three passengers were | carried in the six- months, Lut. that the Depariment bave no details of freight carried. The figures is open to grave suspicion because the return does not show what money was collected for carrying paseengers, but simply says “ forty-three passengers at $2 each would amount to $86.” This is far from saying that $86, or any amount, was collected. The return shows that’ the monthly pay list amounted to $415.00, aud that up to April 36th $10,980 had been paid in connection with the Petrel. This is exclusive of $2,000.00, with interest, due on the charter party, and the wages and other disbursements incident to the maintenance of, the steamer up to the delivery of her to her owners at Kingston, which the contract required to be done on the 15th of May. It ie certain that the total amount of money wasted on this Petre] humbug is not less than $15,000.00, while the only real service she rendered was it carrying seven mails from the 17th to the 24th of April, a period when the navigation was really open everywhere around the Island. —_— a - 2 —Concerning the last debate on the tariff question, the St. John Sun’s Ottawa correspondent eays: “ The Maritime Pro- vince members took a hand in yesterday’s debate. Mr. Macdonald, of Prince Edward Island, discussed the new tariff generally, comparing it with the pledges made in his province by Mr. Davies and hie friends, who promised free oil, low duties on agricultural imple- ments and other chavges which had not been made. Mr. Macdonald thinks that the admission of corn free of duty will be injurious to the farmers on the island, as reducing the price of oats. He does not see that agricultural implements wl! be any cheaper, though be observes that'the men who make them have got more protection.

The Newmu:ket races were founded by James Il in 1667. Tattersall’s, the famous horse resort, was founded in 1766. As late as the ninth century European horses were shod only in the winter time. The first horses in New England were introduced into Massachusetts in 1629 or 1630. Wild horses are found in great num- bers in Asia and North and South America. As early as 1607 in England a famous race course was established near York. The victor’s prizs was a little golden bell, which he hung on his horse’s neck. The long hairs of the horse’s mane and tail make an article of cloth valu- able for many purposes, while the short hair is useful to plasterers and in other ways. One of the most remarkable adapta- tions of nature of an object to its proper nses is found in the hoof of the horse, which combines lightne-s with strength ‘and is suited to every kind of ground. From the time of Wiliam the Con- queror to the period when artillery came into use horses were protected by chafm armor. The weight of this prov- ing a serious objection, knights some- times substituted an armor of dried ox- hide instead of the metal protection.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ITEMS OF INTEREST.
