Mr. Macdonald in the course of a short address, compli- mented the teachers and scholars on the result of their work in the past year, and promised that the consideration of the Schuo!l Board should be directed to the pressing necessity of enlarging the schovl- house. The Mayor publicly thanked the princi- pal aud teachers of the school for the high honor they had conferred upon him in un- animously electing him its Patron. He testified to the thoroughness of the history teaching imparted in the principal’a de- partment and to the general excellence of the schcol Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., whom all were glad to see home again, delivered a short address, in which he spoke of the high im- portance of clear enunciation and the lighter exercises of calisthenics, and sing- ing Dr. Anderson referred to the success ef the pupils of Upper Prince Street School at examinations in Prince of Wales College and Normal School. Ewen Stewart, Esq , Secretary of the City School Board, and Grading Offier, said that the resuits of the grading examinations would be announced on the re-opening “vf the schools, and corrected the idea that the general excellence of which he spoke yesterday was confined to West Kent Street School. The prize Ust of the Principal's depart- ment is unavoidably crowded out.

Mr. Heartz afforded, throughout, an almost perfect ac- companiment, and effective assistance was rendered by Miss Macdonald with the violin, Mr. Fletcber with the cornet, and Mr. Sharp with the bass viol. The grest want of the Sogiety at present is want of volume, though this was not so much felt asifthe hali ‘were larger. The svlos, duets and trios in the Golden Legend were delightful as rendered by Mrs. McLaod, Mr, Lieyd and Professor Caven. From Elijab to Lucifer is « long leap, but Professor Uaven took it success- fully, aud all three were last evening fully equal to their high reputations aud their parts. It was pleasing to hear egain the sweet voices of Misses Moore and Rlake, each of which is worth the most careful cultivation. Mr. Charles Hermans, too, is one of the nyost promising of our vocal. ists. Woe greatly regrét that our space to- day will not admit of such a critique as the concert of last evening deserves: We can only add that we heartily congratulate the Society and Mr. Lloyd upon the great im- provement which has been made manifest. oe Atheletic Sports and Trotting Races at Georgetown. Thuraday, the 7th July, inst., promises to be a greatday in Georgetown, The committee in charge of the trotting races have had the track put in first class condition, and nearly every evening some of the loeul horsemen are out with their flyers aad fitting them for the contest. The King’s County Exhibition Association was eurolied on the 15th of June, 1892, as a member of the National Trotting Association, aud this will be a guarantee that all the races will be fairiy contested. The committee are fitting up the grounds of the Association in good style. The judges stand has been newly painted, the trock fence has been whitewashed ani an outsile fence is being bullt around the dump from the grand stand to the east of che drill shed. Arrangements haye been made tor an in- teresting series of athletic sports, and it is rnmorei that in addition a giand tug of war will take place between ten sailors irom one of the Canadian cutters and ten natives, This contest will likely prove most interesting and every one should see is. The entries for the tro‘ting races close on Jane 30th, when five per cent cf puree must be forwarded with written entry tc the secretary of the King’s County Exhibi- tion Association. As a member of the National Trotting Agaociation, every entry and proceeding must be according to the rules. Horsemen intending to compete, should make « note of the above. Arrangements bave been made with the P. E Island Railway to issue return tickegs from Charlottetown to Georgetown on July 7th by special train leaving Charlottetown at 8 o'clock, a. m. (local, at $0 cents, and from Souris to Georgetown by regular morning train at rate of $l. Tickets from intermediate stations will also be ivaued at equally low rates. a Philharmonic Concert. Deak Srin,—-After the unjust tirade against (he Philharmonic Society which ap- peared in one of the city newspapers a short tims ago on the occasion «f the ren- dition of Mendelashon’s Elijah, I feel thoroughly pleased that the members had independence and spirit enough to imme- diately prepare for another concert and if need be for another tirade,and that three years of vigorous growth had given the in- stitution such permanent vitality that it must exist and continue to develop under any circumstances or conditions that may arise. Strength and beauty ac-. true qualities in the life of nature and of art that are pre- eminently admirable, and these qualities seem to be pre-etminently possessed by the Philharmonic Society. The persistency with which its members have clung to what is highest and beat, al- though most difficult in musical art, for the material of their concer’s in spite of con sure from a section of the city press that continually harped on the necessity for simpler music, is evidence that they have a keen appreciation for wharever is beautiful in music, and the continued life of the society in presente of many adverse con- ditions and critivisiug enemies is an evi- dence of its strength, I was very anxious to enjoy the pleasure of bearing the concert last night, bur un- fortunately was called away from the city on business at ntid-day. However as 1 valued the educational privilege of listen- i-gtothe music which the Philharmonic Society intended to prduce [ hurried away from Charlottetown throug such a storm of dust as might make an inh bitant of the Desert of Sahara ashamed of his country, and thanks to :my sturdy little horse after a drive of forty miles managed to retu-n to the city in time to hear the latter porticn of the “Gulden Legend” which to me was a richly musical treat. Afcver experienciig tie city dust in the morning, a rain storm amor g the Bonshaw hills in the afternoon aid the delightful music cf the “Gcldea L-gead” in the evening, I could not help thinking as I walked homewards when it was all over, th.t althougo many elements composing our in- sular life and surrouadings may be rovgh and comm“nplace, and mrc1 in onr socia) refine- meat crude and unlovely, yet the lit le ci y that could produce such beautiful music as I had been listening to, possessed elements that if carefully cultivated might make it one of the most favored capitals of Canads asa place of residence.

The borings have been completed for the approaches to the tunnel on the New Brunswick side. The depth of beds pene- trated is one hundred and sixty feet, and it is agreed by all engaged in the work that they are of a character most favorable for tunneling. The carboniferous base rock has been reached and penetrated at two distinct points; and it is clearly shown that the soft red shales and sandstones cf the lower permian of P. E. Island run across the Strait and repose with a gentle incline on the northern border of the New Brunswick system. The red rocks of the Island just touch the mainland here, extending intand from half a mile toa mile. They skirt the shore of the Tormentine Peninsula for fifteen wiles from here to Upper Cape, presenting prominent red cliffs to the roll of the Straits’ waves. While in the rear of the front line of farms, the grey sandstone hills rise bold and rock-strewn. A point of serious investigation has been to determine whether the Tormentine anti- clinal runs right across to Cape Traverse, or turns to the eastward in the direction of the Hillsborough Bay, The latter now ap- pears to be its true direction, so that the tunnel beds lie in an undisturbed position in a broad syncline, whose eastern exten- sion underlies the rich green swells of southera P. E Island. Next week the drill will start out on the water. Hitherto the weather has been so windy that submarine drilling would have been an impossibility, but much ealmer weather is prevailing just naw, and it is hoped that with a large barge for the shal lows, and a stout, weli-provided schooner for the mid strait, that the work will pro- gress successful'y. The schooner has gone tu take in coal for ballast, as also to supply the engine with fuel, but tha barge is on the spot. The engineers talk of erecting an iron stage one hundred feet in height, to be sunk in mid-strait t> place the drill upoa, 80 as to do away with the oscilation that must negessarily atiend an attempt to work it from the deck of a vessel. But this whole matter of submarine drilling is so new aad untried, that the public need net wonder that haste is beingmadeslowly. The cores which have already been taken up are very satisfaotury, and Mr. Kelly, the Diaraond drill man, deserves great credit for his werk. A TTR The Functions of Univer sities. *1r,—There can be no doubt that the education and training of our youth is the great questi-n of the dey. Th: great uni- versities of this and the older continent are striving earnes*ly under the pressure of public opinion to mske their systems of education more and more practical. Prof. Allison, president of Mt. A lison Unive:sity, sp ke to a large meeting last night in the interests of his institution. He undertook to define the functions of universities. He said it is not the duty of uuviversities to convey learning which may be termed practical. It is their duty to convey knowledge and training which will form the basis of a practical and technical education. It is their duty to make men a. He quoted from James Russell zowell, bat Mr. Lowell’s words do not warrant this definition. Now, this notion that it is the duty of universities to merely train men’s minds, to minufacture gen:lemen, to convey knowledge merely preparatory to senething eise, is of such an ancient character that 1 had hoped no man having charge of a great seat of learning would entert«in it, The great aim of every scat of learning should be distinctly aud ¢ivectly practical. Every teacher should be vontinualiy asking himself “What practic! -esuls can arise from my present efforts” Mt. Allison is behind the age. It the epirit which animvied Mr. Allison last night shall contiaue to animate his supetintenden: y of his u iversity, then J do not hesitate tos y that his university is unworthy of pubic suppnt. Our people, before they give their money, should demand and obtsio an assurance :t a complete change of educational policy. F. P. T. June 23, 1892. - Supreme Court. _ Wepyzspay, June 29.
