Amono the items in the Dominion Sup- plementary estimates, in which the Island is specially interested. we have already noted that of £3,000 for steam eommunica- tion from Halifax to Murray Harber and Charlottetown, alternately, and the item of $1,500 a voyage for five voyages of steamers frow Prince Edward Island te Great Britain and back. Besides these, there is an item of $5,000 for the Souris Break- water.

Un- der the last contract on this work a large quantity of loose stone was thrown over on the sea side, but last Fali’s heavy gales proved that Island stone is of littie or no it in its place, From past experience in building on a sandy feuudation, it is found that there is uething equal to brush and stone in resisting the aetion of the sea.

Mr. Alexander Laird’s coarse-. | bess and vituperation will not divert the | attention of the people from the merits of a | question so vitally affecting them as tax-. |payers. In the Legislative Council, on Saturday last, this gentleman spoke of the members of the Howse of Assembly as the ‘‘Servile represext- | | atives of non-property helders, paupers, beggars and wharf rats.” We are sure jt is not teo much te say that a Majerity of the members of the House of Assembly are su- perior to Mr. Alexander Laird in ability and edneation as well as in the value of their public services. Whois the man who speaks so reproachfully ef the members of the Assembly? He is the same person whe, when sitting in that Hovse, dis- graced himself by characterising the british flag as a ‘* blood stained banner.” The people of the Bedeque District embraced che first oppgrtunity of relieving him ef the duty of representing them, and having never since been able to seeure a seat in the Assembly, he derives consolation from breed, which specially adapt them to the European market The Commissioners consider that an effort should be made to place these Exhi- bitiops on a breader and.- more | popular basis, and submit the following suggestions with aview to obviate certain diificulties which have been found to interfere with the usefulness and success of these institu- tions in the past : 1st.—Larger appropriations should be made for their use. At present many im- | portant brauches of domestic manufacture are passed over, while for others, as well as fur Live Stock, and many descriptiors of farm produce, the prizes the Commissioners have been able tc offer were quite out of the exhibits. Provincial Exhibition in 1880 was oniy $1,000, anv it was found no easy matter to amount, leaving the eontingencies of the hxhibition, and the payment of the Seere- acy, to be provided tor by entrance fees on Live Stock, and money taken at the doors. Fertuuately at the late Exhibition the } erying ** sour grapes.’ What hag Mr. Alexander Laird or any of his name er tamiy done for this} Province to entitle him te speak in| tills ineulting manner of the marhord | ot Prince Edward Island?

The peeple of this Province are indeed long-suffering ; but they will deal with Mr. Alex. Laird in due time and accerding to hisdeeds. We susjou a list of the votes polled for and against the abolition ef the Council in the year 1873, by which it will be seen that only 1623 of the property holders of the Province voted for retaining the Couneil, while 2162 voted fer its abolition.

The Commissioners, thercfore, sug- gest that a pieee of land in the in:mediate vicinity of Charlottetown should be acquir- ed and deveted to Exhibition purposes. Upon it should be erected, as time and | means admit, buildings of a permanent | character, At present the mosi pressing | need is felt for buildings to accommodate | live stock.

Until ether and more pressing wants are provided for, the Drill Shed might serve nearly the same purposes as at present, as a Hall for general exhibits, in which the opening eeremony might be held. 4th. It is, hewever, essential that all objects intended for competition should be delivered atleast one clear day before that appointed for the opening ; sufficient time for arrangement would then be afforded, and the judges would not be hurried in ar- riving at their decisions and making their reports. So long as articles are brought for competition up to the very hour when the judges commence their duties on the morning of the Exhibitien, the awards of prizes must often be anomalous and un- satisfactory ; for this reason, as well as to enable the Commissioners to keep the Ex- hibition epen at least one clear day, com- petitors must be required to send in their exhibits at the time appointed for their reception, leaving them in the custody of the Commissioners until the time appointed for their delivery. 5th. Finally, the Commissioners suggest that ile organization of the Board (if that ageney is continued) sheuld be completed earlier in the year, in order that prize lists and other details connected with the Ex- hibition may be published with the least possible delay. . The aecounts submitted by the Com- missioners show a small balance of $69.97 in their faver, which it is intended to de- vote to a Grain Shew to be held on Tues- day, the 12ih April. The ‘Patriot’ and the Minister ot Marine. Tue Fatrict attempts te ridicale the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, because Sir John McDonald undertook to ‘‘ engin- eer” the item of $5,000,setdewn in the esti- mates for bringing out the training ship ** Charybdis,” through the House of Com- mons. How does the Patriet know that Mr. Pope was present at the time to which he refers! We see by our exchanges that Mr. Pope was indisposed about this time, and the fact that he was in the House of Commons in the early part of the day is no assurance that he was present in the even- ing, when the item to which cur contem- porary refers, was passed. And if Mr. Pope were in the House at the time, and in the best of health, it would not by any means be an unusual thing to see the Premier take charge of the passing of items belonging to other departments than that over which he himself pre- sided. During the time that this Province was represented in the last Parliament, it was a frequent occurrence to see the Premier coming to the reseue of the gentleman who then filled the position of Minister of the Interior. If Mr. Pepe were the incompetent minister that he is represented to be by the Patriot, he would have been transferred to ene of the less impertant departments long before this. More than one readjustment of Cabinet seats has taken piace, and the very fact that Mr. Pope has not been disturbed at one or other ef these adjustments, but has been left at the head of one of the most important departments, is proof positive that he administers the affairs ef that department with advantage to the country and te the eatisfaction of his colleagues at the Council Board.

MeMilian’s Minnie Clyde, John Redd’s ————-, George Thorne’s Butcher Boy, and Dr. Creamer’s Forest King. It was well contested by Nellie and Minnie Clyde. The | first two heats were won by Nellie, who} trotted beth without a break, closely followed by Minnie Clyde, also trotting in good style, while the others, breaking and trotting and trotting and breaking, seemed to take no part in the race at all. The third heat was equally well contested, but had a different result. Minnie Clyde teck the lead, trotted the course without a break, and finished leading Nellie by abort thirty yards, with ———- a goed third. In the last heat Minnie Clyde also led, with Nellie followimg close by. They dashed down the homestretch neck and neck. At the distance pole Nellie broke, but eaught admirably, spurted up on her opponent, and finished a neck ahead. She was awarded the heat andrace. In the ‘‘ free-for-all” only two horses— Mr. Robert Crabbe’s Shyleck and Mr. Lemuel Hooper’s Zulu—started. It was asharp contest, and the horses were mnch but in the second, as they dashed off neck- close, showing ery | good trotting on the homestretch. In the third heat Shylock led from the start, but was passed by his op- ponent about the three-quarter pole. As Zula always trots better homewards, he conse- style about three lengths ahead. In the last ths turn, where Zulu took an advantage by cut ting off at the corner and shortening the lead, They dashed down the homestretch abreast, in excellent style, Shylock breke near the finish and ran to the Zuin.

He fell by tae hands of impious murderers who repeatedly sought his prec: ious life, and made their attempts because they saw in him the protector of Russia, the foundation of her greatness and pro- motion of the welfare of the Russian people.

We ascend to the Threne which we inherit from our forefathers, the Throne of the Russian Empire and the Czardom and Grand Dukedom, inseperably connected with it. We assume the heavy burden which God impesed upon us, with firm re- liance upon his Almighty help. May he bless our work for the welfare of our be- loved fatherland and guide ofr strength for the happiness of all our faithful subjects. In repeating before Almighty Ged the vow made by our father to devote, aceording to the testament of our forefathers, the whole of our life to care for the welfare ard honor of Russia, we call upon all faithful subjects to unite before the alta: of the Almighty their praises with ours, and command them to swear fidelity te us and to our successor, His Imperial Highness the hereditary Grand Duke Nicolai Alexandrovitch.
