The Fourtzenth Minister.

From a party and sectional standpoint, New Brunswick has no claim to a second Minister. She was misled by her Press ; and she might, without injustice on the part of Sir John McDonald, have been put off with her Finance Minister. But Sir John’s rule is the ‘‘country first and party after- wards.” From a National standpoint it is expedient that such an important Province as New Brunswick should, if possible, have two Ministers in the Cabinet; and accorcd- ing Sir John McDonald has strained a point in her behalf.

Senator Wilmot will be President of the Senate and will take his seat on the Minis- terial benches.

By this arrangement no additional ex- pense whatever will be entailed upon the country; and the objection raised to the appointment of Mr. Blake in 1873,—viz., that being in the receipt of no emolument, he was not directly responsible to Parlia- ment and the country—does not exist. Although without portfolio or salary as a Cabinet Minister, Senator Wilmot will re- ceive emolument from Parliament as Presi- dent of the Senate, and his individual con- duct as a member of the Administration will thus be subject to the review of the people’s representatives.

The Mail remarks that ‘‘in the Mother Country the Lord Chancellor is at once President of the House of Lords and a member of the Cabinet; and Senator Wil- mot will hold a somewhat analogous posi- tion.”

Legislative Council Election.

AT BELLE CREEK.

ome

MEETING

According to notice, a meeting was held at Belle Creek School House, on the 23rd inst., for the purpose of choosing a candi- date to fillthe vacancy in the Legislative Council. The meeting was duly organized by appointing William Ross, Esq., to the Chair, and the undersigned Secretary.

After quite a lively discussion on poli tical subjects in general, in which several of the electors took part, the following resolution was put to the meeting and un- animously adopted :—

Whereas, This second Electoral District of Queen’s County is now called upon to elect a candidate to fill the vacancy in the Legislative Council ;

Therefore Resolved, That this meeting will support no candidate who will not pledge hinm- self to vote for the abolition of the Legislative Council, and retrenchment and economy in all other branches and departments of the Gov- ernment.

After which Lauchlan McMillan, Esq., was put in nomination to fill the vacant seat in the Council, in opposition to the Government ; and Alex. Beaton in the in- terect of ‘‘the Government and all its (de)tails.”’

A division being called for, six appeared in favor of the Government candidate and twenty-three for the Opposition.

i oe Mr. Prarr, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a master of Harrow School, met his death lately under strange circum- stances. He hired a boat, and was rowed into the Lake of Como, where he leaped into the water to bathe. When he had swam some while, the boatman asked if he had had enongh, and he replied that he wished to stay m a little longer. Some- thing diverted the boatman’s attention for a few minutes, and when he turned Mr. Pratt was missing. He was never seen again, and the body could not be found,

Upton Park Races. ( seal FIRST DAY,

A most interesting day’s racing was wit- nessed at Upton Park yesterday. Not- withstanding the threatening appearance of the weather a very large gathering of spectators was present. The track was in fine condition, and noted turfmen who were present pronounced it to be one of the best tracks in the Provinces. The usual amount of gambling and rowdyism for which race courses are noted seemed to be at a discount, as we heard of but few bets, did not see a wheel of fortune, and only witnessed two ‘‘set-tes,” which were ‘of very few minutes’ duration. At the close of the day the spectators departed from the course well pleased with the manner in which the races were conducted—large numbers expressing the opinion that it was the best day’s racing ever held in the Provinee. The judges were Mr. Jobn J. Davies, of the Rankin House, Mr. James Leeman, of Truro, and Mr. J. H. Wilson, of St. John. Although the races were ‘‘billed” to start at 12 o'clock it was found im- ow to make a start till 2 o'clock, when the

‘

STALLION RACE

was rung up. There were two entries for \this race, viz: Mr, A. N. Large’s bk. s Messenger Boy and Mr. Newton Lea’s by. They appeared in splendid condition, and as they sped by the stand on the last score they were lustily cheered by their respective admirers, Messenger ap- pearently being the favorite.

First Heat.—After scoring several times the horses got a good send off. Both acted badly for the first half, when they came down to the square thing, and displayed some fine trotting. All Right shortly went in the air and gal- loped wildly to the three-quarter pole. He came to his feet, and both trotted down the the home-stretch, All Right leading ard passed the mile pole slightly ahead. He was set back for galloping, and the heat given to Messenger. ‘Time, 2.43.

Second IHeat.--Both dashed off abreast and trotted almost neck-and-neck to the turn for the half mile pole when Messenger went off his feet, and All Right took the pole. The heat was most exciting, as they sailed down the back-stretch, spurting, one to keep, and the other for, the fore. All Right went in the air on the turn for the home- stretch, and Messenger gave him the go-by in fine style. The first quickly recovered and again pressed for the fore. They glided swift- ly down the home stretch neck-and-neck into the midst of the spectators, who lined the track as they passed. Messenger pressed for- ward, and loud cheers arose from his admirers. The cheers caused him to break and he gal- loped under the wire, with All Right at his quarter. The heat was given to All Right. Time, 2.43.

Third Heat.— They went off at leisure, with

Messenger leading. They trotted nicely over the course, and Messenger finished by holding the lead which he took at the start. Time, 2.454. Fourth Heat.—-The horses get an cellent send off, and _ trotted over the back stretch without a_ break. Turning for the half mile, Messenger broke, and All Right, who was a length in the rear, closed in and attempted to take the fore. He, unfortunately, broke and fell back to his apponents wheel, and thus sent Messenger to the half mile pole at a desperate rate. He maintained oa increased his lead on the back- stretch, and entered the homestretch several lengths ahead. All Right began to lap him, and came on Messenger’s flank. The latter broke and fell back on a canter. All Right then dashed to the fore, and kept Messenger at his wheel until the finish. Thisis pronoun- ced to be one of the prettiest heats ever trotted on a track in this Province. Time—2.45.

ex-

trotted together for a short distance, but broke on leaving the back-stretch. Messenger recovered first and All Right galloped and still led. He righted on nearing the half mile and Messenger gave chase till the three quarter, when All Right again went off on a gallop. He righted again with Messenger at his wheel, making swift push for the first position. He, unfortunately, broke and accidentally knocked a large scalp of flesh from his knee. Falling to the rear, he sent All Right hotly for the mile pole, which the latter passed three lengths ahead. All Right got first money, Messenger second. ‘

2:44

The next was the 2:44 class race, in which there were three entries, viz., Mr. A. N. Large’s b. m. Fairy, Mr. Angus Me- Kay’s ch. g. Discount, and Dr. Jenkins’ b. m. Abdallah Maid.

First Heat.—There was some difficulty manifested in scoring. However they gota good send off, Fairy leading, with Discount at his quarter and Abdajlah in the rear. Fairy went off her feet and Discount took the pole on the turn and led down the backstretch. Fairy collared him at the quarter-pole and shot to the fore in splendid style. She seemed fractions and was twice overhauled and passed by Discount, who apparently was tak- ing everything easy. Fairy came forward, however, led on the homestretch and passed the wire three lengths ahead. Abdallah trotted the course in fine style and was close on Discount at the finish.

Second Heat.—All went off abreast and gal- loped. At the turn Discount settled first and led the way, with Fairy at his quarter. She pushed for the fore, but broke at Discount’s lank, and he maintained the lead to the half aile pole. -he go-by, acd took first position. Discount ‘spurted for his lost position and regained it on the home-stretch. [Fairy broke on losing it, and Abdallah shot upon her quarter, passed, and made things hot tor Disc mnt. They trot- ted to the pole neck-and-neck, but Abdallah went in the air at the finish and the heat was given to Discount, Abdallah second and Fairy third,

On the home- stretch Discount diminished her lead consider- ably, and passed under the wire three lengths behind, with Abdallah a length in his rear.

Discount made some rapid spurts, but failed to lead. Fairy maintained her position, but Discount made the chase very hot, she having passed the sg oe with him at her quarter and Abdallah a ength in the rear, she taking first money, Discount , second and Abdallah third.

Both spurted along the homestretch at a rapid pace and Nell passed under the wire with Russ at her fore quarter, Bell third, Tartan fourth and Bill fitth.

Second Heat.— Bell lead at the stars, but Russ was at his quarter and wrested the lead from him on the back stretch. Nell gave Bell the go-by, and pushed boldly for the first position.
