ATS PAUL 8 CHURCH—-SERMON BY REV. DR. HOU! ORDINATION OF REV. W. A. FROST The Bishop was at St. Paul’s Church in the forenoon of yesterday. Service began at 10 o'clock instead of 11, as usual. The clergymen in attendance were, besides the Rector, Rev. Dr. Hole, of St. Paul's, Hali- fax, Rev. Dr. Fitzgerald and Rev. James Simpson, of St. Peter's Church. Dr. Hole preached the ordination sermon from the text: ‘*Say unto Archippus, take heed unto the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” He re ferred to the existence of the three-fold order of the 1 sinistry as ¢ stablished by the A posties and continued by their the successors, and* dwelt upon the creat bilit an iweit pon ne great respons.ibdill y which rests 1 pon the ministers of the Church. He spoke particularly of the duties appertaining to the office of Deacon, and exhorted the Ordinand to be faithful aud earnest in the exercise of the ministry to “fight the d tight.” The Bishopthen proceeded with The Rector having first presented the candidate, the ordimation service. the Bishop said the litany anil began the communion service. After the reading of the epist! the Bishop examined the candi- date as directed by the prayer-book, and then ordained I pla ing his hands upon his h ud ind ; ‘Take thou Authority to execute the office sf ‘acon in the Charch of God committed unto thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of t Amen.” Then delivering the New Testament to him, he said ‘“* Take thou authority to read the Gospel in the Church of God, and to preach the same if thou be thereto licensed by the Bishop himself.” The Rev. Mr. Frost then read the gospel, and the service for the ticly Cominunion was con- cluded. The singing of the choir was ex- cellent, the women’s voices being remark- ably clear and distinct. CONFIRMATION AT CHERRY VALLEY. ; H Vv (rnost } } His Lordship Bishop Courtney drove to Cherry Valley yesterday afternoon accom- panied by the Revs. J. Simpson and Fred. E. J. Lloyd, for the purpose of administer- ing the Apostolic Rite of Confirmation in Christ Church. The prettily situated church was filled to overflowing, and a con- siderable number of persons stood outside. There were thirty-two persons of various ages confirmed. The Bishop's address to the condidates was magnificent, albeit simple and practical. Amongst the large congregation present we observed the fol- lowing residents of Charlottetown: the Rev. S. Weston-Jones, Rector of St. Paul’s, Mr. Parker Carvell, who presided at the organ, Mrs. R. R. Fitzgerald, and Messrs. Fitzgerald, Newbery, Rankin and Brecken. The Bishe p returned to town by the 5.15 ferry -boat SERMON AT ST. PETER'S. His Lordship was present at St. Peter's Church evenig and preached to a larve congregation. The service was bright and hearty, the sermon eloquent and powertul. Evensong wassung by the Rev. Fred. E. J. Lloyd, the lessons being read by the Rev. James Simpson. It is reported that His Lordship has con- firmed more than three hundred persons since he has been upon the Island. This encouraging fact seems to augur well for the future of the Church of England in P. KE. Island. One thing is patent, that dur- ing his comparatively short sojourn in our midst Bishop Courtney has won the hearts of everybody, and very much encouraged those who have been brought under his powerful spiritual influence. wa thie His Lordship left this morning by the steamer St. Lawrence. He was accompanied by the Rev. James Simpson, of St. Peter’s, Rev. 5. Weston Jones, of St. Paul’s, and Mr. ond Mrs. E. J. Hudgeun. 1° | THE DAILY EXAMIN St. Peter's Schools. Tue prizes awarded in these schools were distributed in the boys’ schoolroom on Sat- urday evening, by Bishop Courtney. A vreaternumber of parentsand others interest - ed were present than on any former occasion of a similar kind; and both boys’ and girls’ schools were more largely represented than they have been in recent years. Before the distribution, a number of maps drawn by the boys were exhibited and admired, Chose done by Mr. E. A. Earle were very finely and carefully finished, and those by Master H. Steele were remarkably good for a boy of his years. Speaking of drawing, it is to be regretted that the Board of Edu- cation and the City School Board have missed the opportunity afforded by Mr. Green's resignation of the mastership of St. Peter's School, to obtain a good drawing master fur the Prince of Wales College and the City Schools—particularly as the im- portance of obtaining a knowledge of draw- ing is every year more highly appreciated. The Bishop’s comments while delivering the prizes were felicitous and very much to the point, making everyone present good- humovred. PRIZE LIST. BOYS SCHUOCOL, G I Foster.

The owner of Hernando has accepted the challenge issued by the owner of Black Pilot to treat a match race for $200 a side in September next, and has deposited his forfeit money with Mr. John Sharp, of Summerside. In accepting the challenge he stipulates that the choice of parks (Summer- side or Upton) shall be decided by lot, the horse going from home to be allowed a cer- tainJamount for expenses. We trust that the match will be arranged.

B., correspondent, J. H. Smith, in reference to the clashing of dates on which the P. E. Island Provincial Exhibition and the St. John, N. B., County Exhibition take placd next autumn, I may inform Mr. Smith that for several years past our Provineial Exhi- bitions have been held on the first week in October, and that at the meeting of the Board of Commissioners, held on the 19th inst., at which thirty-six members of the Board were present, it was decided upon that the usual time would be the most con- ducive to the general interests of exhibitors. It is to be regretted that the publication ‘some six weeks ago,” of the date on which the St. John County ‘ Fair” is to be held was not made known to our Board before now. The Secretary of the Provincial Exhibi- tion of Nova Scotia communicated with our Board some weeks ago, and in order not to clash with our dates, the Provincial Exhi- bition, 1888, of that Province takes place at Truro on the last week in September, so as to enable visitors from both Provinces to attend both Exhibitions. However much our Board would desire the attendance of Mr. Smith at our Exhi- bition on Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd and 4th of October next, it is impos- sible to suppose that now, the above dates Laving teen fixed, that his suggestion to change the time can be carried into effect. It is hoped, however, that horse buyers, as well as others from our sister Provinces, will not deprive themselves of attending our Provincial Exhibition because of theSt. John County Agricultural Society having their County Exhibition on the same date. Yours truly, A. McNEILL, Secretary P. E. I. Prov. Exhibition. Ch’town, June 25, 1888, pepe eae erate Repiy to “ Punch.” Sirm,—The editor of the Summerside Journal, alias *‘ Punch” (or Punch-eon), utilized his visit to the city last week in seeking a grievance, and happily found a small-sized article, and airs himself on Sat- urday last in your correspondence column. His remarks anent the Intercolonial Ex- press Company do not form any text for a jong reply; suffice it tou say that ** the gen- tleman’”’ in question cannot be claimed cither from or of Charlottetown—he being a member of the Wizard Oil Co., (whose modus operandi the Journal has severely denounced). A parcel was sent C. O, D. from Summerside to Woodstock, and with- out instructions to the contrary the proceeds were returned to the shipping oftice—a proper course, you will admit. Had I even received a hint (not a request, as ‘* Punch” says) I would have had the package transterred to the Charlottetown office. I assure ** Punch” and all such croakers that *‘ red tape”’ is unknown in our man- agement, yet we would prefer if they would seek information at the proper place, and not in an unmanly way hide themselves be- hind incoherent anonymous correspondence. Yours truly, Tueo. L. CHAPPELLE, Agent Intercolouial Express Co. Ch’town, June 25, 1888. Music at St. Paul's. Earle’s words, Sim, —Mr. latest production abounds in but not in argument, and as persouslities are not arguments, I ' must decline to follow him; but in order ito gratify him, | beg to say that I adhere to every word contained in ‘* Beaver’s” letter. Yours &c., ae in eee : MONDAY, Information Wanted. Sin,—From your last issue, it appears that the arbitrators in the chancery suit of Smith vs. the Water Commissioners, have awarded the plaintiff $275 damages, or more than tive times the amount offered by the Commissioners, and agreed to be ac- cepted by the plaintiff before proceedings were taken. The amount awarded seems extremely large, and in the public interest this subject requires a Ilttle more explana- tion than is afforded by the bald annouffce- ment of the result in the daily papers. The Patriot rather involves the matter in mystery by stating ‘* The total amount is $275—$35 for value of land taken, $100 for damages, and $140 for severance.” Will its legal editor kindly enlighten its readers as to the nature of the damages independent of the value of the land, and how the sum of $100 can be made up in addition to the large sum of $140 for severance. Yours, A Surrerrne TAXPAYER, Weather Bulletin. Toronto, June 23---10 a. m. Moderate to fresh winds; mostly cloudy and showery weather. Challenge Accepted ! To Mr. Benj. Dockendorff, North Ktiver.

But you not only issued a chailenge 7 tor TEN DAYS, when you knew the owner of Hernando ceuld not possibiy see the challenge be‘ore the expiration of that time, but you ask us to go to your own door totrot. In order to make the matter wholly fair, we will agree to *‘ decide by lois”’ whether you Come to Summerside or we go to Charlottetown. If, in casting lots, it is deciaed that the race shall be over the Summerside track. we will allow you a reasonable sum for expenses; if we have to go to Charlottetown you ww allow us expenses, If you are asportsman, you will understand this to be entirely fair. Tne horsemen of Prince Edward Island are anxious to see the two fastect siadions iu the Maritime Provinces meet, and if you are as wiil- ing to gratify their wi-h as we are, @ Match is pretty certain.
