THE DAILY EXAMINER, eee THE QUBEN'S JUBILEE. How Celebrated in Halifax, The Jubilee Salute Review of Troops —Public Gardens. ee GRAND PROMENADE CONCERT, Examiner.) How shall 1 describe the singing of that vast It was indescriba- bly grand The National Anthem, several odes, and again the National Anthem with variations, floating on the breeze from little throats, ‘* as the sound of many waters.” The concourse then down and out upon the Common, 2,000 troops awaited the hour for review. They were as fine a lot of men as ever wore the brilliant uniform of the British soldier, aud were much admired. The Royal Artillery in dark blue, the Royal Engineers with their scarlet tunics and broad stripes, the Infantry and the Halifax Rifles in dark green, with a more of mounted | otticers dashing over the Common in their handsome costumes, presented a scene not soon forgotten. Tw ely evo cloc k and troops remained in steady line extending from one end of the Common to the other. Atthis point your correspon dent returned to Citadel Hill, from which every point of interest could be taken in In the harbor lay the Northampton, the Canada and the Pythian, while a little to the right lay a French man-of-war. At each of the eleven guns in the saluting bat- tery on Citadel Hill stood the gunners, lanyards in hand, ready forthe order of the commanding officer, Lieut. Anderson. All was now in readiness for the great Jubilee salute of fifty guns! The sound of the first stroke from the ancient looking citadel clock had hardly fallen upon the ear when the command rang out, ‘‘ Num- ber one, fire!” Then a scene burst upon the beholder. From the ships, including the French frigate, and from the batteries, ' ‘ } f ‘Orre spon nice of The issemblage came : ; the thousands of oy ed where lmmense score or : : } was now drawing nigh, the came the roarof a furious cannonade. Sheets of smoke split by darting tongues of fire, curled in fantastic wreaths, partially obscuring ships and batteries, while from the Common came up the roll of the feude joie, which seemed like a thing of life as it leaped from rifle to rifle along the extended line. This grand event over the troups began to move. After sundry manceuvres a grand ‘‘march past” took place, which was performed with great ease and regularity, after which they were marched to their respective barracks. Dinner over we repaired to the beautiful Public Gardens to witness the placing of a memorial tablet on the new ‘* Memorial Band Stand.” Tthis part of the pro- gramme was not carried out. But no dis- appointment seemed to be felt, for the beauty of the Gardens precluded any such stateof mind. Halifax is proud of her Gardens and justly so. The great Author of Nature more than smiles on that lovely spot, and has breathed a_ holy grandeur into all around. Art, too, has paid tribute and contributions of that philanthropic and public-spirited man—the iate Sir William Young—are seen on every hand. Such a spot cannot fail to have a most refining influence upon the citizens of any town, and our people should lose no opportunity in supporting the hands of our own Mr. Newbery who has made Queen Square so attractive in this respect. The programme this (Tuesday) afternoon also calls for races of different kinds at the riding ground, which were attended by thousands, it “being almost impossible to get a ticket at the gates, so great was the crush. In the evening came the grand promen- ade concert in the Public Gardens and dis- play of fireworks, but unfortunately a heavy fog rolled in from the Atlantic in the latter part of the afternoon, which rendered it very disagreeable and completely ruined the effect of the display. As the sky- rockets rushed into the heavens they were soon completely lost to view in the dense It seemed like shooting them behind a Opaque screen from which came back no beautiful display. On one occasion only were the beholders permitted to. peer beyond the fog, and were gratified by see- ing several parachute rockets floating over che Gardens in mid air. Ona small lake were water fireworks— a great novelty— which ran wheezing and sneezing through the water and finally collapsed with a crash sending a thousand colored lights into the air. At 10.30 the programme closed, and thus ended the first day’s sports and all returned to the illuminated city to obtain rest that they might be prepared for the morrow. Pow Tog.

ISLAND Me Ba ABM Bai Be CONFERENCE— Marysvitie, June 21. After singing the Rev. J. K. King led in prayer. Journal was read and approved. Rev. George Steel presented report of the Parsonage Fund Committee. Among other things it recommended that $100 be grant- ed towards Montague mission, when the mission had raised $350 by local effort and had fulfilled the requirements of the con- stitution. Also $25 to West Cape mission, where the remainder of the debt had been secured. EPUCATIONAL COMMITTEE AND SACKVILLE INSTITUTIONS. Dr. Inch, President of Mount Allison University, presented report of the Educa- tion Society and spoke on behalf of Sack- ville Institutions. There ought to be more money raised for the Education So- ciety. The young men for the ministry were not receiving sufficient help. If twenty-five cents per member were raised the young men would receive a larger amount and more of them could be helped. Then another Professorship is needed and God was preparing them witha man. He referred to Mr. Tweedie who had distin- guished himself in England and on the continent. This young man was a graduate of Mount Allison and had made the highest marks of any who had ever gained a Gil- christ Scholarshif from this Dominion. Last year they had 248 students in the in- stitutions. The Ladies Academy was never in a more thoroughly satisfactory condition. Financially and morally it was all that could be desired. He left Mr. Davis to speak of the male academy. The college has had very many encouragements during the year. Not only has there beenan in- crease of students, but there has also been a growing feeling attachment on behalf of the students for their Alma Mater. Mr. Davis, Principal of the Male Acade- my, said that the work of the year had been satisfactory. The number of students is more than last year. Acknowledge the practical sympathy of the N. B. and P. E. I. Conference. The Male Academy has done a good work, and compares favorably with the other institutions. He said that Dr. Stewart would speak of the spiritual con- cerns of the Academy. Dr. Stewart, Dean of Mount Allison,said that during the past, the number of theolo- gical students had been limited. They have felt the necessity of devoting then- selves very largely to other studies. The religious life of the students is, generally speaking, praiseworthy. The students of P. E. Island have very greatly helped the religious life of the institution. Several were converted to God during the past year. He believed that the College is a great power in the moral elevation of the country.* Education is taking a higher plane, and the people should appreciate the efforts put forth for securing a higher education. Dr. Pickard had watched with interest the work of the year. He was sure that the past year had been one of prosperity. He spoke in terms of praise of Dr. Stewart and Dr. Inch. The Male Academy has made a rapid and successful stride during the year. He hoped that the Conference would look well to the interests of the Male Academy. Rev. M. R. Knight then read the report of the visitors to Sackville. It was very satisfactory. Adopted. Rev. C. Evans moved a_ resolution embodying the mind of the conference on the above matter, which was adopted. Rey. L. 8. Johnson brought up the report of the children’s fund, which evoked a long and earnest discussion. Several amendments were moved to various parts of it by Rev. John F. Estey and G. Steele. Committee recommended that $38 be paid for each claim. Rev. T. Marshall moved the following amendment :— ‘*‘ When brethern receive over $750 the payment be at the rate of $20 per child. On all mis- sions and dependent circuits and all super- numeraries. Deceased ministers on the basis of $40 until children fund and salary shall reach the sum of $750, when beyond that the sum shall be $20 per child.” This resolution, after much debate, was carried by 40 votes for and 35 against. In the evening session, the Rev. Charles Comben moved for a reconsideration, which was carried by a 38 votes against 27. Rev. T. Marshall then moved his amendment again and supported by a speech of great interest. He contended that the men who advocated a change in the constitution of the fund were not enemies but friends. Revs. C. H. Paisley and Wm. Dobson supported this position. After a protracted discussion Mr. Marshall's amendment pre- vailed by 35 against 34. The committee was given permission to meet again. Conference adjourned. Oo A Few days ago we were shown a letter, re- cently received from abroad by a party in this town, which bore unmistakable evidence of having been opened and sealed again after being posted, and before its receipt here. The envelope and enclosed sheet were both torn, and the envelope had been clumsily glued together again. No doubt the person who opened it imagined, from the peculiar feel of the letter, that it contained money, but was disappointed on finding instead a post office order, which was of no use to him. —Summerside Journal. a ; return up to and on July 4th, 1887. ‘ June 25, 1887—8i Friday Evening, July Ist, 1887, MRS.
