Sir,—As the salute yesterday by No. 2, G. A was what is termed an extraordinary salute, no two guns being fired on regular time, many simple folk imagine it was in- tended for the Jubilee. Such, I am in- formed, is not the case. The Jubilee guns will be on time by the watch,

Islanders Again Victorious !
1N BENJOVYABLE TRIP.
Tur Queen's Birthday was quietly ob- served in this city. The weather was splen- did. Most ot the stores and places of busi- ness were closed. . Flags floated from many of our public buildings and also from the shipping in the harbor. At noon a royal salute was fired at Fort Edward bya de- tachment from No. 2 Battery, G. A., under Captain Moore.
Although the Abegweits did not offer to pleasure seekers an excursion to any new and hitherto unvisited spot for the 24th, yet the public must have had as much confidence in the social powers of our athletes,as they have reposed in their physi- cal powers, otherwise they would not have assembled in such numbers for a sail over the excursion-worn route to Pictou. Fully two hundred and fifty passengers embarked yesterday on the Princess of Wales to see for themselves something of that traditional success of Islanders abroad of which they had so eften read. Besides the well-known \begweit football team, there were on board teams from St. Dunstan’s and Prince
of Wales Colleges. There was the usual delay at the wharf for some tardy player who perhaps was loth to give up the
beautiful melodies of Ul Trovatore which might have still been sounding in his ears for the harsh shocks of the football field. A little after the usual hour all got safely away, and then the momentous question presented itself,to everyone, *‘What are we going to do till we get to Pictou?’ Every-
body who has ever gone to Pictou—this remark does not at all apply to the home-
ward trip—must have been struck at the way that seemingly unanswerable question will force itself on one. Of course yarns an be told, but the best -and there were some good ones on board yesterday

will fail, and smoking is tabooed at least to ladies and fe votball players. But the managing committee had forseen the
srrival of this fiendish question and had provided a piano, and the Messrs. Me- Lellan had taken their violin and cornet, and the St. Dunstan’s glee club were ready with some lively choruses, and these com- bined forces banished the grim interro- gating spectre that had haunted the steamer for the first hour, to the bottom of the Strait.

Pietou won the toss and chose the north goal, by which they had the wind in their favor. The ball was soun kicked off and
some very lively playing was made. Pictou had as usual by avoirdupois weight a much heavier set of forwards than the
Abegweits, but it seemed to give our boys very little trouble to carry the scrimmages right ahead. The Pictou men passed much better than in any previous match we have seen. In the latter part of the first half the Abegweit quarter passed the ball from behind a scrimmage near the. Pictou 25 yard line at the extreme right of the tield. Perey McDonald got the ball and ran to within a few yards of the Pictou goal when he tripped and fell, and the ball was carried by one of the forwards for a short distance when he was tackled, but not be- fere he had passed to Leigh, who, after a short run and a sharp struggle, got a touch- down. The ball was kicked by Moore, but as the kick was from the extreme left of the field and the wind was contrary he did not make it a goal. No other points were made during this half. The second half of this match contained the prettiest play- img of the day. Init the Pictonians were compelled to rouge twice. Carroll made some terribly effective punt kicks which destroyed in a moment the advantage which it had taken the Abegweit forwards minutes of hard serimmaging to gain. It was a pity that the time had to be limited to 20 minutes for each half, for by that time both sides seemed only to be getting properly warmed up to work. This match
'then resulted ina victory for the Abeg- weits by six points. The second match was between St.. Dun-
stan’s College and New Glasgow. St. Dunstan’s team was ade up as follows :—
Forwards—Mc Dougall, Reid, Sullivan, Me- Cormic, Hughes, Burke, Blaquiere, Alex. Me- Donald, Martin. ;
Quarter-Backs—Johnson, MeAulay.
Half-Backs—Percy Macdonald neas Mac- donald, Hogan, (Captain.)

(Captain, ) Williams, Gillan,
St. Dunstan’s College won the toss and preferred kicking against the wind for the first half. They compelled their opponents to rouge the ball, but were themselves in turn soon compelled to do so. No other
- WEDNESDA 1
points were made in this half. When the players were called out for the second half it wag St. Dunstan’s turn to kick off. Sulli- van, by 4 beautiful kick, sent the ball over the New Glasgow goal. This, according 10 the rules, did not count a goal, and the ball had to be kicked off again. Almost | the whole of this half time was occupied in a series of scrimmages within afew yards of New Glasgow’s goal, Three times St. Dun- stan’s team carried it over the line and claimed a try, but it was im every case re- fused them. It was first taken over by MeDougall, then by McAuley, when it was objected that he had not raised the ball over the line but simply rolled it over. The third time the ball had been passed to Perey Macdonald who made a fine run, but fell before reaching the line. The ball was taken up by Hogan and carried over the line and around directly behind the goal posts. The New Glasgow mei then jected to this being allowed as a try, first, because the ball was dead when Macdonald fell and had to be scrimmaged there and next that Hogan was off-side when he pick- ed it up. | no goals or trys were made by either side, the game was a draw ; but such a draw as can fairly be claimed a victory for St. Dunstan's. ties did not do their duty in keeping the crowd off the field of play. During the last half of the St. Dunstan’s match the crowd stood within a few yards of the players and very feeble attempts were made to keep them back. The playing on both sides in this match was very sharp especial- ly in the first half when some fine running and tackling was made.
The next match was between the Prince of Wales College and Pictou Academy. The Prince of Wales College team consist- ed of,
Morwards—J. McDonald (Captain,) Crafer, Cameron, Balderston Shaw, Monroe, Dewar, Scott, McCormack.
Quaarter-Backs— Robertson, Howatt.
Half-Backs—-Matheson, D. H. Robinson, Mellish.

The Pictou Academy team consisted of : Falton, ~ Cameron, Williams,
Lord,
Forwards —Gamumill, Maxwell, McRae, Bethune, Milian, Logan,
Quarter-Backs—Pyke, Creighton.
Half-Backs—Fraser, Primrose, Mellish.
Referee, Dr. Stewart.
In the first half the Prince of Wales de- fended their goal line for their lives, and after a hard struggle, which lasted nearly the entire half, carried the ball out of danger. But with the change of position came a
change in fortune. Almost instantly the Prince of Wales boys had the ball behind
the opposite goal line and secured a rouge. The ball was taken out and McDonald (Captain) made a fine run behind the goal line, but in some manner, he cannot ex- plain, the ball slipped from him before he had touched it down, although he was across the line. Aftera few minutes of play about centre tield Crafer got the ball out of the scrimmage, and after dribbling a good way kicked the ball over a high fence behind the goal. This was an unforseen occurrence. The Prince of Wales College men quickly scaled the fence and touched
the ball down in an adjoining field. This was allowed as a touch-down and the Prince of Wales men kicked a goal. No other points were made. This gave the
College a victory over the Academy of ten points—the highest score made yesterday. Some fine scrimmaging was made in this match by Cameron and McDonald, and the kicking of D. H. Robinson was all that could be desired.
Thus, in each of ‘the three matches, the Island teams were victorious. As soon as the last match was over the large crowd that had witnessed the games soon melted away and the Islanders made for the boat. There three cheers and a tiger were given for the Pictou team, which were answered by counter-cheers for the Island teams. On
the passage home an exciting race took place between the steamer Princess of Wales and the steamer Worcester. The
Boston boat had a quarter-mile lead but was speedily passed and left miles behind. After tea was over and the adventures of the day had been music was heard in every q iarter and the dancers had possession of the lower deck. Everything went on smoothly under the genial com- mand of Captain Cameron and the warm- hearted fellowship of Purser Ryan, for whose earnest endeavors to promote the happiness of their passengers too many thanks cannot be returned. And thus the merriest 24th that had been spent by Charlottetown excursionists for many a year was safely ended, everyone being well satisfied with the way they had celebrated the 69th anniversary of the birth of our P(ueen.
