Tho Press Meeting.
SOME STRAY NOTES END COMMENTS,
The first annual session and exeursion of the Maritime Press Association, which began at Moncton on Friday afternoon last, was con- cluded at Fredericton on Wednesday night. It was a splendid gathering, and cannot fa‘l to be productive of much good by the news- ;paper men of the three Provinces. A report of the proceedings at both Moncton and Fred- ericton has already appeared in Tnx EXamt- NER, and I need not refer to them here.
THE EXAMINER and the Herald were the ouly Island papers represented. The dele- gates left Charlottetown in the early express on Tuesday morning, and had a very pleasant run to Summerside under the care of Conduc- tor Kelly, one of the oldest and most obliging of our popular railway ofilcials,
At Summerside we embarked on board the good steamer Princess of Wales, in company with some seventy other persons, and were svon transferred to Point du Chene. The weather being fine and the water almost un- ruffled, the run across was more than usually :pleasant. Capt. Cameron, Purser Ryan, aud ' Steward Collins and the other officers of the | Princess have lost none of their old time win-
ning ways; and are as popular as ever with travelers, | After a wait of about an hour at the Point jtransferring cargo, we goton board the train for Painsec Junction, en route to Moncton. |The train was in charge of Conductor Mc- Fadyen, whose acquaintance I had the plea-
}sure of forming during a run over the road
last year, and who has the reputation of being
| one of the most capable officials on the Inter- ' colonial.
At Painsec we met Messrs. Dennis and Burgoyne, both of the Halifax Herald, who came out to meet us, and on arrival at Monc- ton we met and were presented to the the other delegates. All repaired to the. Bruns- wick Hotel, thence to the Town Council Room in the Opera House buiiding, where the meeting was held, as already intimated.
After the meeting, and an excellent repast at the Brunswick, the delegates were shown the sights of the town. They were first con- ducted through the railway offices, with which they were more than favorably impressed. The visitors were particularly taken with the working of the railway library, as explained to them by one of the men about the building. Strange to say, however, the Halifax dele- gates were particularly obtuse on this occa- sion. Mr. Dennis could not understand how the library was conducted, although the nodus operandi was repeatedly explained to him, and Mr. Burgoyne almost wore out the patience of the guide trying to learn «ll about the operating of an ‘‘ infernal machine” in the corner of one of the rooms, which turned out to be an electric register.
At the conclusion of the inspection, some of the visitors went to “St. Bernard's Bazaar, which they left minus considerable money, and with several lottery tickets; and others went down to have a look at the great bore. I have yet to learn that they saw the pheno- menon, although some of them must have had a glimpse of it when making their toilets later on.
At ten o'clock the visitors repaired to ‘Tracey's restaurant, where they were treated to an excellent oyster supper by the proprie- tors of the Times and Transcript. After the oysters had been disposed of, toasts were drunk and matters of general interest to the craft discussed. Every one was wel! pleased with their entertainers and themselves.
Now, a word or two about Moncton. It is
KE. |@ lively town with an enterprising and agree-
able people. Its hotel accommodation is ex- cellent. The Brunswick, at which we stopped, during,our sojourn, is one of the best appointed hotels in the Provinces, and is daily growing in favor with travelers.
About two o'clock oa Wednesday morning, the visitors got on board the train for Chatham
During the run through, most of the party tried to snatch a short nap, but not more than one or two succeeded in so doing. At

one of the stations a lady got on board, who
‘= ae FISHWICK’S EXPRESS LINE, jwsi.cis‘ssnceds aud, ain, Bennie —with
during the excursion—secured her a seat, and, squatting himself at her side, proceeded to find out who she was, where she came from, and whither bound. His enquiries developed the fact that her name was Atkins, and that she was from Pictou en roufe to British Col- umbia. Mr. Dennis at once introduced her to an Islander, who was going through to Vancouver. The Islander was pleased to meet the lady and she was pleased to meet him. Mr. Dennis was also pleased immensely at bringing them together. Whoknows what may come out of this accidental meeting? Who knows how often they will thank their stars for having met each other, and in the fullness of their hearts exclaim, when referring to their benefactor, ‘‘ His name is Dennis !”’
The train reached Chatham shortly atter daylight. From the station to Bowser’s Hotel—upwards of a mile—the party were taken in carriages overone of the roughest pieces of road it has been my lot to drive for some time. We “got there,” however, and soon made our presence known to the land- lady, who speedily arose and set about making arrangements for breakfast. Having been up ali night, most of us were as hungry as bears, but we had to wait over an hour before an opportunity was afforded of satisfying the inner man.
During the wait for breakfast some of us took a walk about the town, while others hung around the hotel waiting for the ‘‘gong” to sound. Finally Mr. Fraser, of the Halifax Critic, who had been nosing about the dining room considerably, called out ‘‘ breakfast, breakfast,” in stentorian tones. Every one made a rush for the dining room. Dennis, of the Halifax Herald, was among the first to get inside the door, and at his heels, push- ing bim hard for first place, was Alley, of the Truro (1 beg his pardon, the Colchester) Sun, wno up to that time had been complain- ing bitterly about the disadvantages he labor- ed under owing to his having a lame leg, the resuits of a recent accident.
All did ‘‘ ample justice” to the meal pre- pared, and for which the modest sum of fifty cents each was asked. When paying up, Mr. Dennis handed the cojlector—a Miss Bowser— ove dollar, telling her to keep it and let the suiplus fifty cents pay for ‘the best-looking man in the crowd,”—meaning Mr. Burgoyne. Miss Bowser did not, however, agree with hia as to who the ‘ best looking man” was, and when Mr. Fraser, of the Critic, loomed up to pay his bill she told him it had already been attended to. Mr. Fraser is now a firm believer in the saying: ‘‘ It’s better to be born good-looking than rich.” He certainly is in pocket fifty cents on account of his good looks,
At Chatham we met Mr. Smith, of the
Adtance, md Mr, Auslow, of the Harts’

Jovrnal, Windser. The former could not ind
time to come along with the party; but Mr.
Anslow, however, joined us, and he proved
a valuable and entertaining acquisition.
After breakfast, the whoie party were again * jolted” back to Chatham Station, where they took the train en route to Fredericton. The run through was very pleasant, the scenery along the route being very picturesque and in many iastances beautiful.
At Doaktown, a station along the line where we had dinner, a telegram was read from Mr. Crockett, of the Gleaner, offering to entertain seven of the party at the Barker House during their stay at Fredericton. Lots were cast to decide upon upon the seven. Mr. Dennis’ name was the last drawn, and Mr. Burgoyne, very sympathetically, passed round the hat to raise funds for a consolation prize. Some seven cents and half an apple were col-
lected; but as the contribution was being handed over, Mr. Hawke, of the 7'ranscript, swooped down upon the hat, and taking hold of the apple, proceeded to get outside of it at an extraordinary rate. This action was not pleasing to Mr. Dennis, and a catch-as-catch- can struggle for the apple took place between himself and Hawke, which resulted in the former’s favor. Finally the presentation was made, accompanied by a few sympathetic re- marks vy Burgoyne. Cries of * specch,”’ ** speech,” then arose on all sides, which end- ed only when Fraser lifted Dennis upon top of one of the seats, from which high and com- manding position he made a brief but feeling address.
Taus the time passed pleasantly tiil Freder- icton was reached, where the jolly visitors were warmly welcomed by Mayor Hazen, Mr. Temple, M. P., Secretary for Agriculture Lug: in, and Messrs. McNutt, of the Farmer, Cropley, of the Capitai, Crockett, of the Gleaner, Mr. McDade, Fredericton correspon- d-at of the Telegraph, Mr. Hughes, corres- pondent of the Globe, Manager Hoben, of the Northern and Western Railway, and many others whose names I did not learn.
The local press men at once took charge of their guests and escorted them to their lodg- ings. The seven allotted to Mr. Crockett, among whom was your correspondent, were driven in carriages to the Barker House. All the visitors were entertained in princely style.
‘After luncheon all were taken to Marys- ville. Mr. Crockett’s contingent drove out, aud the remainder went by a special train
laced at their disposal by Manager Hoben. Messrs. Temple, Lugrin, Cropley, Crockett, McNutt, Manager Hoben and others accom- paried the party. At the Cotton Mill they were met by Mr. Gibson, the millionaire owner, by whom they were shown through the massive structure, from the basement to the fifth floor. The operatives were all at work, and the different processes through which the raw material passed while being made into cotton were explained. The sigit was an exceedingly interesting one—well worth going to Fredericton to see.
After going through the cotton mill we were shown areund the immediate premises, visiting and examining the substantial and comfortable brick and stene cottages erected for the operatives by Mr. Gibson. ‘The brick used in these cottages is manufactured from clay, of which am abundance is tu be found on the premises, and the wood is dressed in Mr. Gibson's mills adjoining the eotton factory. A short distance froin the mills is the hand- some briek church also erected by Mr. Gibson.
Mr. Gibson gives employment to some 900 or 1,000 persons, and the amount paid out for wages weekly is estimated at upwards of $10,000. Mr. Gibson is certainly a great benefactor to the people. He is the right sort of aman to have money. Would that we had one or two like him in Charlottetown.
In the evening the Association held their closing meeting in the gentlemen's parlor of the Barker House. The officers for the year were elected at this meeting (as Tae EXAMINER has been already advised by telegraph) and other important business was tramsacted, The Association decided that it could not visit Woodstock and Grand Falls this year, aud expressed their thanks to Manager Cram for offering to provide them with special trains for so doing.
It was unapimously decided that the next
meeting of the Association be held on the third Tuesday in Avgust next, and that the excursion be to Cape Breton. Your correspondent and Mr. Hawke came down to St. John in the steamer on Thurs. day, previous engagements preventing their accepting the kind invitation to stay over till Friday, tendered by the local press men. The trip down the river ocewpied the time from 8oclock inthe morning till4in the after- noon. The scenery along the route was very pretty, particularly that within a few miles of St. John.
Frecericton isa clean, neat, well-ordered town, with a population of about 7,000 people, and is becoming more attractive every year. Those of its residents with whom I came in- contact during my stay were very agreeable— just the kind to make one long to call and see them again. It also boasts of many beautiful and substantial public and private houses. The Barker House, at which many of us put up during our stay, isa first-class house in every respect and well worthy the large patronage it is receiving.
In connection with the meeting of the Asso- ciation, I wish to remark that in my opinion the re-election of the two Secretaries was a step in the right direction. To them is largely due the success of the meeting, and 1 trust that they will live to reap the reward of their efforts. The new President is a worker —the right stamp of aman to have at the head of the organization. The other officers are all good men, and I feel assured that under their management the Maritime Press Association will continue to prosper.
In stringing these few hurriedly-written and imperfect notes together, I am aware that there are many things that I might touch upon that have not been referred to, and which will, I feel sure, be taken up and dis- cussed by other members of the Association. Let my departure from the city by early steamer to-morrow morning be my ee.
