DAILY

BURNS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

Tue anniversary of the birth of Scot

| land’s bard, Robbie Burns, was celebrated

last evening by an entertainment in the rooms of the Caledonian Club,Maceachern’s building. The place was filled, and the splendid programme prepared for the ocea- 810n was carried oul in @ most satisfactory manner. The oration on “Robbie Burns,” by Rev. T. F. Fullerton. was excellent. The rev. gentleman, in eloquent language, reviewed the life of the Bard of Ayr —the poet of the people—referring en- passant to his broad sympathies, his de- téstation of shame, ete; Réy. Mr. Campbell also made an addreaa, referring to the poet and his life, and to Sqottish character in general. Both addresses were listened to with the closest attention, atid were fre

quently interrupted by applause. Mrs. Roome sang two Scotch songs, “My

Nannie’s Awa” and “The Wild McGregor Slogan,” in an excellent manner. Mrs.

| Byrne’s rendition of “ Will You Nae Come

Back Again,” was splendid; and the two duets by the Misses Webster were capitally given. Mr. William McKay’s rendition of “Burns and Scotland Yet” (sung for the first time in Charlottetown) was greatly appreciated; as were also the vocal solos so wel] sung by Messrs. Charles Hermans

and James Davison. Mr. T. A. McLean recited “The Stowaway,” and Mr. Me- Isaac the scene between Douglass and

Marmion. Each recitation was well ren- dered. Mr. Fletcher played ‘‘Annie Laurie” ae a cornet solo, and played it well; and Mr. Ferguson’s pipe music was éxeelfent.. Mis. Davison, Miss Brown and Mr. Blanchard presided at the piano during the evening... The programme closed with the singitig of “Auld Lang Syne” and “God Save the Queen.” The President of the Caledonian Club, James Paton, Esq., presided,

——— SKATING BRACES LAST NIGHT.

Berorne an enthusiaatic audience of about eight hundred persons the first skat- ing races of the season came off last night in the Hillsborough Rink. Long before eight o’clock, the hour appoiated fur the first event, the Rink was crowded, stand- ing several tiers deep around the promen- wle. The ice was in perfect condition.

The first race was the three mile cham- pionship. In this there were nine start- ere, divided into twe heats. In the first heat were F. C. Rattray, R. P. Gaudet, A. Newsom, C. Large and B. Stambles. New- some lead for about the first mile, and was then passed by Rattray, who came in first, with Gaudet secoml; Newsom third; Large fourth. Time, 13.39. Inthe «second heat the starters were Harry Moore, Cra- paud, Lorne Unsworth, William Duncan snd Wm. Davies. The heat Was finished in the ord: r named, in 14.20}.

Then came the boys’ race under sixteen years. The starters were E. M. Arnaud, E. Cook, J. Davies, Jr., and B. Foley. It was won by Arnaud, who skated a pretty race, with Cook second and Davies third. Time, 5.03.

The one-mile race for the championship of the Island was next called. The start- ers were F, C. Rattray, Harry Moore (Cra- paud), Lorne Unsworth, C. Weeks, C. Large and Wm. Duncan. Rattray took the lead at the start, Weeks second and Moore third. The former skated a good race and made some splendid spurts, win- ning the race in 4044, Meore second and Weeks third. In this race Moore claims to have been “jockeyed” bv two of the con- testants. At the start they were told by the judges they would have to “pass” on the outside; on the inside at the peril of fouling. Two of the contestants dis- graced themselves by their conduct in the race, one on the outside not leaving room enough to pass, as agreed at the start by the judges there would be, and the other on the inside. It was evident to the spec- tators, and during the race they were warned by the judges, but continued their mean pranks, and should have been ruled off the ice. As if to further substantiate his claim.Mr. Moore issued. a challenge to the winner fer a race for*the one mile championship of the Province. Likea true and honest sport Mr. Rettray has ac- cepted and the race will take place in the near future.

There were ten starters in ‘the race for boys under 14 years. It was won by G. A. McLean, with A. Worth second and S. Doyle third.

In the half mile backward race the con- testants were C. Weeks, Lorne Unsworth, and C. Large. C. Weeks took the lead at the start, and wen the race easily in 2.21, Unsworth second and Large third.

The next event was the obstacle race, which proved interesting and exciting. It was won by E. M. Arnaud, E. L. Cook second, and W. Stevenaon third.

The sack race had three entries, aad was won by E. Davy, with John Gillis, jr., second and Levi Smith third.

Then came the funny donkey race, in which “Mary” and “Old Whistler’ were the starters. The latter won the race in good time, but “Mary” was first for good looks.

The final and most exciting event of the evening | was the last heat of the three-mile championship race, The firsts and sec- onds in the two preceding heats started, Rattray at the start took the lead, with Unsworth second, Moore third and Gaudet fourth. Moore soon took second place, and ehortly after by a fine spurt secured the lead and gradually widened the dis- tance amid the applause and shouts of the excited apectators. Rattray and young Unsworth made a gallant fight for second place. On the last lap the lad spurted and cheered by the crowd took second piace. Moore won the race by about a lap, and at the finish was “bounced” by his friends and carried to his dressing room. Time 13.23}.

During the evening Galbraith’s band furnished good music. Messrs. Dawson and Rogers are to be congratulated on the success of the evening, and the judges Messrs. Ings, Weeks, Keating, McDonald, Crabbe, Dingwell, Bartiett, Reddin, Large and Whear, for their impartial conduct and decisions.

TaE “CHAMPIONSHIP’ RACES LAST

NIGHT,

Sir,—ti is an undeniable fact, that- after the completion of the “One Mile Cham- pionship Race” all present were decidedly of the opinion that Moore (Crapaud) would have been the “Victor” but for the dis- g aceful and “caddish” way in which he was treated by Large and Duncan during the race. Their “blocking,” ete. must have been quite apparent to the judges, who should have warned these “young bloods” at the first sign of same, which they do not appear,to have done, and, if they did, it proved of little effect.

This sort of thing prevails in races of almost every kind here (especialy in skat} ing) and competitors acting in this manner should, without doubt, be ruled out of all future ones, as it conipletely ruins the intere-t of the race to the spectators. It is hardly fair that hundreds of spectators should be compelled to witness the dc- moralization of a good race to satisfy the whims of those “dog in the manger” sports (?) who, when they cannot them selves win take an evident delight in keep- ing a very probable winner from déing sc,

I am sure I voice the sent'ments of all those present in saying:—Our visitor dc- serves better treatment in Charlottetown

Let the next races here be fair and honorable throughout. . So’say I, so say all.

GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Loxpoyx, Jan. 24.—The Daily News (government organ) denies the report that the Cabinet contemplates a navel loan of £25,000,000. It confirms the. announee- ment made last week that large sums-are to be employed for permanent fort works at Gibraltar and Portsmouth.

Loxpox, Jan. 24.—The bark Petrel, loaded with government stores, consisting chiefly of ammunition for Nordenfeldt and gatling guns, blew up near Gravesend this morniag. She had a crew of five men. Not a trace of one of them is to be found,

Rome, Jan. 24.—It is highly probable that before the parliamentary election next spring amnesty will be granted io prisoners condemned by the military court in Sicily and Massa Di Curiara. About 1500 men were found guilty of seditious conduct in connection with the revolts last winter, and more than 1,000 are still serving sen- tences. The summary manner in which they were tried and condemned has been one of the subjects of agitation against Premier Crispi. A general pardon is re- garded in government circles as the best means of mollifying the radicals. It is thought the amnesty decree will be pub- lished March 14th, King Humbert’s birth- day.

Lonpon, Jan 24. — The Chronicle’s Rome correspondent says fourteen Catho- lic priests have been arrested in Warsaw, Russian Poland, and the Pope has re- quested an explanation from the _ Russian minister to the Vatican. :

Once said in his pulpit: “ Breddern, yo can’t tell how long de suit will wear by de size ob de advertisement ob de maker.” But you can tell a good deal about it from the reputation of the maker. Our reputation for good work- manship has been built up by degrees and is sustained by strict adherence to the principle never to allow a misfit te go out of » « shop, or permit a patron to go away dissatisfied. When a man wants a suit of clothes he wants it by a certain time-and he does not want to have to return it to have it refitted.
