Correspondence.

AS SEES SSS OU AA ARR Bay Wedo not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of .. Corres spondents,

Lo the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Dear Sir—I thoroughly endorse every word you have written in reference to the bungling manner in which the Exhibition at Georgetown was conducted. 1 believe that the presiding genius, who so very successfully, mismanaged the affair, was none other than the great Munroe him- self. This would-be great man, in what- ever public capacity accident or the charity of friends happen to place him, always dis‘inguishes bimself more by his pom, posity and arrogance than by ability. With such an individual for Secretary, no wonder the Exhibition was pronounced to be slovenly and badly arranged in the ex- treme. What could be more shabby than the way in which the King’s County Com+ missioners and Judges were ‘treated ? While a car was provided to convey Queen’s and ,Prince County Commissioners free 0/ charge, the Commissioners of King’s County had to pay their fare out of their own pockets. Was that fair? We ask the Secre. tary. When one of the King’s County Judges enquired of his Secretaryship as to the probability of the money being re funded, he was smappishly told to look for redress to the Superintendent of the Rail- way. The inconvenience and the unsuits able arrangements of the Exhibition grounds and buildings were felt by all, save, perhaps, the untouchable Secretary, who had himself caged in a sort of old- fashioned pulpit to the left of the en. trance, where he languidly cracked nuts and munched his bread and cheese, while looking down, in contempt, upon the honest yeomanry, the big squashes, and the fine arts.

I notice that the Address to His Honor the Governor say»: ‘‘ We trust we may be

fallowed to express our opinion that a

larger grant of the public moneys for the

‘| purpose than has herstofore usually been

made, might hereafter be made,with advan-~ tage to the public.’’ All very fine, Mr. Com, missioners. | fail to see how a large amount is needed to run such a ma. chine as the Exhibition of Thursday last. The thing ought to prove nearly self.sustaining when conducted properiy. Farmers attending the Exhibition, receive few favors. They have to pay to get a sight of the fruit of their own labors. Last Thursday, for the pleasure of being sqeez- ed and elbowed and jostled about in the Building, alias Drill Shed, one had to pay 15 cents. The tickets of were to be had from a distressed-looking young man, who held his office in a new hen coop, under the eave of the shed aforesaid. Great were the difficulties of ticket pur- chasing, and greater sti!] the difficulty of secing the sights inside. The display of the fruits of the earth were so mixed up with mechanical industry and the arts, that it was hard to tell ‘‘ which was which.” There was one object, however, which the most unsophisticated visitor could not pos- sibly mistake. This was the veritable Eastern Gradee, ‘‘ caring for himself more than for all the newspapers on P. E. Island,” perched near the entrance way — “ Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.”

As it may be some considerable time be. fore another Provincial Exhibition will be held in the thriving shire Town of King’s, and as it will likely bea still longer time before Munroe will fillagain the oftice

of Secretary, would it not be advisable to

present the great R. M. with a leather medal. The King’s County Commissioners and Judges might head the list. On one side might be printed, ‘‘I ratted from the Railway Party because the Railway was too crooked and sprucy.” On the other side. the figure he cut on Exhibition Day would be very characteristic. ; Wishing you, Mr. Editor, every success in your fearless and outspoken advocacy of the rights of the people, . [ remain, Yours very truly, A Farmer, Kings County, Oct. 2nd, 1877.
