TnE Provincial Agricultural and Industrial ExniniTioN of Nova Scotia of 18G8, was carried out umlnr the Act "for Encourage- ment ut Agriculture," Rovi?C(l Statutes, Cap. 9G, which provides that it shall bo the duty of the Board of Agriculture, " To hold every third year or oftener should the Board deem it advisable, in some central and suitable locality, a general Provincial Exhibition of Agricultural and Horticultural Products, Animals and Domestic Manufactures, and to fix the time, articles of competition, and List of Prizes to be awarded, and the Regulations under which such Exhibitions shall be held, of which due notice shall be given at least twelve months before the same shall take place ; and in holding the same due regard shall bo had to the just claims of the several Counties." B On 7th May, 1867, an Act was passed by the Provincial Legislature, which authorized the Board to draw from the Provincial Treasury, a sum not exceeding 6G000, to aid the necessary expenses of the proposed inhibition. In 18G8 au additional grant of §3000 was voted by the Legislature. After full consideration, it was determined, that instead of holding merely au Agricultural Exhibition, the Manufactures of the Province, and those interested in the Fisheries, Mining and Commerce, should be invited to join the Board, so as to obtain an Exhibition fairly representing the General Industry of the Province. A large and influential meeting of the citizens was held in Temperance Hall, under the patronage of His Excellency Sir W. Fenwick Williams, Lieutenant Governor, who took part in the proceedings. Resolutions were passed, and a General Committee, embracing the various interests, nominated to carry out the enlarged scheme. The Committee entered upon their work, an appeal was made for subscriptions, and a large number of the Agricultural Societies came forward with contributions. The necessary arrangements were then made ; much time was given to the preparation of the ist of Prizes offered, so that every industrial interest might be represented as fully as possible at the Exhibition. In the Fall of 1867, the Prize List and Regulations for Exhibitors were issued and widely distributed. The t^. ^. 6 Kxhibitlon wns held ftt Halifax, in the Drill Biiildinf? and Governor's Fields and adjoining {^rounds, durin;? the second ■week of October, IHfiH. Tlic rcHulfs are fidly detailed in this Report. The following arrangetnouts wore made for the Exhibition : — PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK.

The Formal Opeoing of the ExhibitioD commenced on Tuesday 6th Octo- ber, at 2 o'clock, P.M. It had been arranged that the opening ceremonies should take place at the Grand Stand in the centre of the Cattle Field, but the doubtful state of the weather induced a change in the arrange- ments, and the whole proceedings were conducted in the Drill Shed. His Excellency General Doyle, Lt.-Govemor of the Province, was escort- ed by a Guard of Honour of H. M. 47th Regt. Besides Members of the Committee and others who took part in the proceedings, there was a large concourse of spectators The Hon. Chief Justice iToung, on behalf of the Comr issioners, presented to His Excellency the following ADDRESS. To His Excellency Major-General Charles Hastings Doyle, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, &c., &c., &c. The Commissioners of the Provincial Agricultural and Industria' Exhibition, have much gratification in meeting your Excellency at this opening ceremony, and in announcing the completion of the useful and extensive undertaking with which they have been entrusted. It would be needless for the Commissioners to dwell on the impor- tance and advantages of periodical exhibitions of the progress made in the various branches of a country's agricultural and manufacturing industry. The great and universally admitted success which has attended those exhibitions in the Parent Country, in France, in the United States, and in Eastern and Western Canada, has established their value beyond the reach of controversy. While they aiFord an unerring nieans of determining the progress made by a people in the various pursuits of art and industry in the period which has elapsed since any former exhi- bition, they tend largely to foster that progress by ihe legitimate stimulus which they supply to every department of industrial pursuits. Five years ago the Legislature provided, by Act, for Exhibitions every third oi* fourth year in central localities in the Province, and two years ago the time for the first Exhibition was definitely fixed by Resolu- tion of the House of Assembly for the present year, and the Legislature pledged themselves to provide the necessary funds. Last year the sum. 2 10 of 06000 was voted and drawn, and this year a farther grant of 83000 was made by the present Legislature. The Agricultural Societies have contributed $1400 and the Fruit Growers' Association $100. The amount of prizes offered is $10,000, and the Commissioners are therefore obliged to look to the receipts from admission ticksts to de- fray the heavy expenses incurred in making the necessary preparations. The progress made since the last Provincial Exhibition, which was held in the year 1854, under your Excellency's predecessor, Sir Gaspard LeMarchant, will perhaps afford the best evidence of the value of period- ical competitions. Thus, while the total number of exhibitors in 1854 WHS 1260, and the total number of articles exhibited was 3010, the entries in the present exhibition show a marked advance, there being 4000 articles entered for competition, and a large increase in the number of exhibitors. But it is not only in the numbers of animals or articles exhibited for com- petition that the Commissioners believe the highest evidence of progress will be found, but a nwre striking proof will be afforded in the additional branches of industry represented, and in the higher standard of excellence attained. As one evidence of this, it may be mentioned that through the efforts of the Provincial Agricuhural Board, in importing improved breeds of cattle, we have for the first time in this Province, thorough- bred animals in several classes exhibited for competition, while the wealth and vast extent of our mineral resources, whose development may be said to be yet on!y in its infancy, are indicated by the exhibition of ores and minerals from the various mining districts of the Province. The labour of preparing for an Exhibition on so large a scale as this, has been very great, but the Commissioners, with the valuable aid of their efficient Secretaries, (to whom the success of the exhibition is largely due,) feel rewarded for all their toil and anxiety in the result, of which the noble collection now aboat to be opened to the public by yo«r Excel- lency, is the most gratifying evidence. To your Excellency personally, the Commissioners have to tender their thanks for the cordial assistance which they have always received : tufc your hands, and especially for the use of the field devoted to the exhi- \ biitton of animals, which your Excellency has so kindly placed at their di^sal. They also gratefully acknowledge the facilities afforded by the CoDunissioner of Railways, in forwarding free of charge, the articles in- tended for competition, and by the Minister of Militia, in granting the use of the Drill Shed and adjacent grounds, and they beg especially to record their thanks to those gentlemen from various parts of the Province who> have UBidertaken the arduous and responsible duties of Jurors in the vari- ous departments of agrcaltural and manufacturing industry and arts. A kind and beneficent Providence has bestowed many resources on this favouined Province, which it remains for man to develope by the applica. ion of capital and labor. The Commissioners believe that the present Exhibition will afford evidence that we have made some progress in that d«'«fek»pment since 1854, and they have a strong confidence that the presQBt. oeeasion will aid in still further encoaraging the advancement of our AQttutfjr in a career of prosperity. i AJ attent] montl: respec now Hi^ M^iwn t. i ' X It of 03000 jieties have irnissioners jkats to de- aratioDS. which was ir Gaspard ! of period- >rs in 1854 the entries )00 article? exliibitors, d for com- f progress additional excellence it through improved thorough- while the raent may libition of ince. le as this, le aid of is largely erf which ir Excel- o tender received! the exhi- at their (d by the tides in- the use o record ace who the vari- arts. irces on by the that the progress )ce that icemeat 11 Animated by that hope, the Commissioners have given their earnest attention to the work entrusted to them, since their appointment some months ago, and on the completion of their labours, they have now respectfully to ask your Excellency to formally open the varied collection now brought together for inspection and examination by the public. William Young, Prest. of the Board of Commiuioners. His Excellency made the following REPLY. Gentlemen, — It is, I assure you, a great pleasure to me to be present to-day and to take part in the opening of this Provincial Exhibition, an occasion so interesting in itself and so fnll of good augury for the future prosperity of Nova Scotia. While I thank you for the kind personal allusions to myself which you have made in the address you have now presented to me, I hope that it is hardly necessary for me to say that it is my earnest wish to be con- nected with, and, as far as I am able, to assist in the development of any enterprise which may be for the general good of this Province, the Government of which has been entrusted 'm my charge. To yourselves, gentlemen, and to the Secretaries who have ably assisted the working members of the Committee in their laborious duties, I am sure the thanks of the Province are due ; and I have no doubt the public will appreciate your services, when by an inspection of the Exhi- bition now about to be opened, they see the amount of work you have had to undergo, — the vast quantity of articles which have been sent in to your charge, and the skill and care you have expended in their arrange- ment and display. It is, as you justly say, now admitted by every one that immense benefits are derived from these Exhibitions if judiciously conducted, and if not recurring at too short intervals. But while these advantages are now so obvious that I should only be enunciating truisms if I dilated upon them, this was not the case eighteen years ago, and it well becomes, us as subjects of the Queen of England, to remember how much in this respect, as in very many others, we owe to the foresight, genius, and \ perseverance of the lamented Consort of our Gracious Sovereign. We do not now aspire to hold an International Exhibition. The. present one is restricted to the productions of this Province, and whil6 it is exceedingly gratifying to hear from your report that so great and so general an interest has been awakened by it, and Uiat the number of entries is so large and the articles exhibited so good and so interesting,. I confess that, from my knowledge of the people and the country, I for . one should have been much disappointed if such had not been the case ;: and it will be with much interest that I shall compare this one with that at which I was present in Kentville a few years ago, as well as With, that the opening of which I inaugurated last year in St. John, N«i#. Brunswick. I 12 This land of Nova Scotia has been blessed by Frovidencc far more bountifully than, until of late years, was generally understood. We may cougratulate ourselves on having survived the era of apathy and indi£fer' ence under which the resources of this noble Province so long languished } and the present occasion, at least, will happily demonstrate that, although we necessarily have our differences of opinion, we meet together here, all classes of us, as a united people, in friendly rivalry for the advancement of the best interests of our country, and to foster the arts of Peace. Nova Scotia was looked on, and is still sometimes to this day described as a rocky, inhospitable land — a large portion of which is useless for all practical purposes — another large portion occupied by streams and lakes — that it is surrounded by a stormy sea, and kept back from advancing in agriculture by a rigorous and severe climate. To-day, gentlemen, we can prove, I hope, to those who do not admit it already, that under ofir hardest rocks lie veins of the metal most prized by man, which are now being worked with better system, greater indivi- dual profit, more general benefit, and with far less concomitant crime than anywhere else in the world ; that we have inexhaustible supplies of Coal — a substance which is far more valuable than gold ; that we have iron of sufiicient quantity and suitable quality for the engines, railroads, and Ships of British North America for ages to come. That, if our eastern coast opposes a bold rocky front to the waves of the Atlantic, we have in our western valleys, farms and orchards equal to those of any country. That if our seas are stormy, they afford a living and an educa- tion for a hardy race ; that the portion of our country which is occupied by water will soon, under careful restrictions and judicious regulations, be as \ iluable in its products as the land itself; and that if our climate be rigorous it is of that healthy severity that fosters a self reliant, hard- working. God-fearing people. We shall here to-day see some proof of the many material advantages with which God has blessed the inhabitants of this land. By the action of the Legislature in providing funds, and by the readiness with which the present exhibition has been carried out, we have of our own free will invited the judgment and criticism of our fellow-men on the use we have made of these aidvantages. I have myself, and I am sure, gentle- men, you have also, every confidence that after careful attention has been paid to the contents of the various buildings which are now sub- mitted for inspection, a not unfavorable judgment will be pronounced, and that it will be found that in all branches of industry, the Province is making most satisfactory progress. This confidence gives me much pleasure in complying with your request, and in declaring the opening of the Provincial Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition of Nova Scotia. Hastings Doyle, M. Oenerai and Lt. Oovernor. The Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia then offered up the following PRAYER: u Univt 13 nee far more We may 7 and indiffer g languished ; that, although ;ther here, all advancement Peace. day described jseless for all ms and lakes m advanciuiz do not admit J most prized reater indivi- raitant crime le supplies of hat we have ;s, railroads, That, if our Atlantic, we those of any nd an educa- i is occupied regulations, our climate sliant, hard- 1 advantages \y the action with which ir own free 1 the use we ure, gentle- ttention has e now sub- pronounced, Province is with your ;ultural and )OYLE, it. Governor. I following " Almighty and Everlasting God, who dost uphold and govern the Universe, who from Thy throne on high dost behold all the dwellers upon earth, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, accept, we beseech Thee, the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and receive these our prayers, which we offer unto Thee this day. We desire to acknow- ledge Thy goodness, to thank Thee for Thy mercies, nnd to implore Thy blessing upon the undertaking which we now inaugurate, so that it may be productive of lasting benefit to the people of this Province. We know that " except the Lord build the house their labor is but lost that build it ; " upon Thee we depend for a successful issue ; prosper Thou the Avork of our hands upon us, prosper Thou our handy work. " We confess that it is not because of works of righteousness which we have done, but of Thy unmerited mercy, that we are permitted to come before Thee with the ,voice of thanksgiving, and that instead of visiting us in anger for our offences. Thou hast given us so great cause to thank Thee for thy abundant goodness. Thou hast multiplied upon us blessings which might most justly have been withheld ; may we be led by them to serve Thee more faithfully, who art the author and giver of them all. Not unto us, Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name be the praise, for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. " While we survey the goodly spectacle here presented to us, let us not be elated with pride, as though our own power had gotten us this wealth ; for of a truth all this store that we have prepared cometh of Thee, and is all Thine own. When we behold the manifold beauteous and useful productions of the earth, and the treasures extracted from beneath its surface, may our hearts be filled with gratitude for the bounty where- with Thou hast adorned and enriched it. While we admire the skill manifested in the works of art, let us not forget that the wisdom and understanding to devise cunning works, and to work all manner of work- manship, is Thy gift, and that Thou alone art wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. " Enable us we beseech Thee so to use Thy good gifts upon earth, that they may not withdraw our affections from Heavenly things, and give us grace to forsake all covetous desires and inordinate love of riches, and remembering that we are but strangers and pilgrims here, to lay up for ourselves never failing treasures in Heaven. Root out from among us all evil passions, envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharita- bleness, all pride and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord, and make us to be of one heart and of one mind, labouring together, each for the common good of all. Let truth and justice, peace and love, with all the virtues that adorn the Christian pro- fession, so flourish among us that we may be acceptable in Thy sight, that living in dutiful obedience to our Queen, and in brothei'ly loVe one to- wards another, we maybe indeed Thy people and Thou mayest be our God.

An Anthem was then sung by the united choirs of the city. duri ami soft I CHIEF JUSTICE YOUNG'S ADDKESS. The Hon. the Chief Justice said that he had taken a warm interest in this Exhibition from its commencement, as he had in the two that prece led it in 1853 and 1854. As Chairman of the Commissioners, he had taken part in the numerous meeiings and preliminary arrangements that were essential to its success, and which had at length culminated in this brilliant assembly. For fifty years he had watched the progress of our Agriculture, and had seen the rise and fall of more than one organization, which the efforts of his late father in the first instance, and the enthusinsra of others following in his footsteps, had successively called into existence. He had turned this morning to the closing address which he delivered at the Exhibition of 1854, when Sir Gaspard LeMarchant was our Governor, and entered into it with such earnestness and zeal. It was then that Sir Gaspard took the opportunity of saying, that at Government House the homespun of the farmer should be always as welcome as the broadcloth of the gentleman. This was one of tlio things that made him so popular as a Governor — not more popular, however, nor more esteemed than the Governor we have. To be sure there was one point in which Sir Gaspard had the advantage of the General, seeing that he was assisted by the sweetness and feminine graces of Lady LeMarchant, which have never been excelled in this Province. Not that I would intimate, said the Chairman, that the General requires any such aid, for as we all know his taste is proverbial. Still there was a hope or an expectation among his warmest friends, (and I am one of them, as he very well knows) that on his recent visit to the parent land, when he was mixing with the high and the noble, he might yield to the charms of some English or Irish beauty, and bring us in his right hand a Lady Governess as well as a Governor. (Cheers.) This was not to be, but who can antici- pate his fate — the Oriental Philosophy teaches that the true wisdom is to submit to it as it comes. And who can tell that some magic influence may not descend out of the cloud of beauty which will cluster around us y, v.'orld with- name. Thy ven.

Here is an ambitious hope, which will flutter many a fair bosom with agitating and soft emotion ! (Cheers.) But let us turn from these lighter topics to the more serious business of the day. We owe this Exhibition to the exertions of the Board of Agriculture, and to the influence it possesses in the Legislature. And it cannot be denied that it has undertaken, and is effectually accomplishing a noble work. Upwards of fifty Societies with nearly three thousand members, and a considerable income arising from voluntary contributions, cannot fail to awaken a powerful interest, and to arouse the farming body to a sense of their own deficiencies, and of the duty they owe to them- selves and to the splendid country in which Providence has placed them. Much as they have achieved, they are far behind the scientific agriculture of the mother conntry, and are even surpassed in many respects by the neighbouring Provinces. On a recent visit to Prince Edward Island, I was surprised to find the wonderful progress they had made within these few years. He was assured that they had from 800 to 1000 native machines in use for raising mussel mud, worth from £18 to £20 a piece, and that about 200 reaping and mowing machines, costing from £25 to £40 each, were annually imported. The Island, which used to be ac- counted the granary, and is still the gem of the St. Lawrence, is culti- vated to the very tops of the hills, while its gentle undulations and the rich verdure of its soil, present everywhere a succession of the most charming pictures. Its farmers, however, are not always alive to the blessings they enjoy. One of them, with whom I spent an evening, not far from Charlottetown, was astonished when it was shewn to him by computation that his 85 acres yielded 3200 bushels of grain ; his 45 tons of upland hay, his butter and his sheep were worth not less that £700 to £800 a year — an income far surpassing what the majority of professional men can earn, either in Prince Edward Island or in our own Province. If we turn our eyes again, to Canada, we have little to compare with their fields of wheat, 30 or 40 acres in extent, waving in the wind and promising a rich harvest, and with their stock enriched by importations from home. "We have no Mr. Cochran among us, with whom the rais- ing of the finest stock is a passion, and willing to give a thousand guineas for a heifer. This fact, I see, (which I derive from the Montreal papers of the day,) excites much astonishment. One young lady, I observed, threw up her hands in amazement. A thousand guineas for a heifer ! My fair hearer was thinking how many charming things — diamonds, laces, crinolines, false and flowing locks, perhaps even the Grecian bend, a thousand guineas would buy. (Cheers and laughter.) These examples, surely, should stimulate us to persevere in upholding and extending the system so happily begun. I have heard, indeed, some ominous whispers of the necessity of economy, and the curtailing of the agricultural grant. But the last thing that should be starved is the agri- cultui'c of the Province. He was no true patriot that would let it perish for Avaut of means. What is £1500 a year to a Province like this, 16 fir and how is it possible to maintaiu a Central Board vith its numerous societies, on the paltry amounts that have been named ? Of the Mechanical Department, as it had just been opened, we had been able to take as yet only a bird's eye view. But it was strange that the mechanics of our city, many of them active enterprising men, had only wakened up within the last month, to the necessity of exhibitions. As in 1854, so in this Exhibition, they had failed to do justice to them- selves, and I am satisfied that they are capable of producing better things than they had over yet displayed. There was much to admire, but there was the absence also of much to regret. His Lordship then spoke in glowing terms of the vast mineral wealth with which nature had endowed us, — of the enormous beds of coal close to the water's edge at Cape Breton and Pictou, — and of the manufactures that would spring up and give us a high place in the Dominion. Why, said he, should not a Sugar Refinery at Dartmouth rival that of Montreal? Why should not fabrics of wool and cotton enrich our people as they were beginning to enrich the artizans of Canada and New Bruns- wick ? Why should not the coal and iron of Nova Scotia work the same marvels as in other lands ? Here there is spread before us au animated and a delightful picture ! The luxuriance of nature and the treasures of art are combined under our eye. We are surrounded by a larj =? pi-oportion of the men, whose varied ability, whose political and social rank, illustrate our Province, and by a fair representation of the softer sex, who beautify and adorn it, Avhose smiles ^hed lustre on the scene, and are the sweetest recompense of our toils. Why, then, should we prefer any other country to our own ? The Admiral and the General are here beside us, with many of the officers of the Army and Navy who sympathize in our hopes, and like ourselves, warmly love the institutions of the Empire. We are sometimes asked to compare our position with that of the Great Republic to our west. Well, we can ^dmire without envying her gigantic progress, her indomitable enterprize and energy ; but it does not at all follow that we desire to be Republicans. For a thousand reasons we prefer our own institutions. The mass of the people dread the enormous taxation which would oppress them ; but independently of that grave objection, they would infinitely rather be British subjects, as they have always been, than be absorbed into the republic. That is still the prevailing senti- tnent of our people, and notwithstanding some traitorous efforts, I am persuaded that Nova Scotia is still sound to the core. We cling fondly to the flag with which this and the adjoining buildings are so profusely decorated. We love to see it as it rustles in the breeze, the ensign of well-ordered and rational freedom, — of humane and Christian power, of progress and civilization. And shall a few insidious and foreign emis- saries — whom to know is to despise — tempt us to forfeit our allegiance and desert our noble Queen ! No, by heavens, no. The Queen, God bless her — three cheers for the Queen ! Let them rise with loud acclaim till they reach the very roof, and thrill along the rafters. The whole assembly then united in three hearty cheers for Her ci s numerous ed, wo had strange that men, had exhibitions. ice to them- icing better to admire, eral wealth f coal close *nufactures on.

Tne Hallelujah Chorus was next sung by the city choirs. Then the National Anthem. And by three o'clock His Excellency declared the Exhibition of 1868 OP Agriculture and Industry open. The Exhibition was continued open daily from an early hour in the morning till 10 p.m. The Live Stock Department was closed on Friday Evening, 9th October, when most of the animals were removed. During the following day a large portion of the more perisha' V articles in the Drill Building were likewise removed ; but the remainder of the Exhibi- tion was kept open till Tuesday evening 13th, when the whole was finally closed. CLOSING CEREMONIES. The Building was densely crowded with visitors to witness the closing ceremonies. Shortly aft »• 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Col. Franck- LYN, C.B., (who in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor was to preside,) and the Hon. Joseph Howe, who was to deliver the Closing Address, accompanied by the Commissioners, Members of the Provincial Government, His Honor Judge Bliss, Dr. Tupper, C.B., His Woiship the Mayor, and others, entered the building, and took places on the platform — the band of the 30th Regt. playing an appropriate air. The Chairman having taken his seat, and order having been secured, the choir sung — "The Heavens are telling," &c. The Hon. Mr. Howe then read the following address : — HON. JOSEPH HOWE'S ADDRESS. If it be conceded that the benefits derived from Industrial Exhibi- tions justify some expenditure of time and money, then we may assume that the one we are about to close has been well timed. The Province is passing through political changes almost revolutionary. "VVe are not here to discuss them, but this I may be permitted to say, that whether the future is to be marked by the disastrous consequences which some predict, or by the brilliant results that are promised by others, it was our duty to take stock of the present — to survey our industries, as they had been developed under our old institutions, and to put on record, in some practical and enduring method, the results of our observations. i 18 t This has been done for us, and for all time, by the gentlPitien who, with honourable industry and perseverance, have orpjanized this Exhibition. What Nova Scotia is like in this good year 1868 has been made patent to the eyes of a cloud of living witnesses, many of them young enough to transmit to a new generation some knowledge of what they saw, — while the catalogues and prize list of the Commissioners will always be open to those wlio in afler times may desire to look back upon the past. A very essential public service has thus been rendered by those gentle- men, whose labours, in all directions, we are happy to acknowledge have been crowned with signal success. Those who have been fortunate enough to see the show for them- selves, would not thank me tor a tedious enumeration of what they have seen ; while, to the absent, the catalogues will convey more detailed and accurate information than I could crowd into this brief closing address, even if disposed, which I am not, to so abuse your patience. A few observations upon the general features of the scene, of which this audi- ence forms the centre, may not be out of place. Those who have inspected the great International collections by which the age has been distinguished, and came here expecting to see something cf that sort, have of course been disappointed. It takes a certain amount of heat to make a bull-frog croak, and many centuries arc required to develope industry in all the varied and beautiful forms by whicn of i«to the earnest gaze of millions has been attracted in London, Manchester, Dublin and Paris. But those who came with rational ideas of proportion — expecting only what it was fair to expect, have not been disappointed. Halifax must not be judged by comparison with great centres of industry, where science, in the lapse of centuries, has become wedded to the mechanical arts ; nor is it fair to contrast the rural districts of Nova Scotia, so recently won from the wilderness by hardy pioneers, with the trim pas- tures of Devonshire or the corn lands of the Lothians, where a stump or a stone has not been seen for centuries, and where a weed is not per- mitted to grow. The fair way to judge is to contrast Halifax with cities of its age and population in other parts of the world, and to compare our agricultural districts with others where climatic conditions are equal, and where, by a comparison of tlie dates of settlement, the progress of indus- trial developement may be fairly reviewed. I know that it is the fashion, in some quarters, to speak of Nova Scotia as behind the age, as wanting 'U skill and enterprise. But I make the assertion boldly, and what we have seen around us the past few days partially bears out the statement, that you cannot cut from any portion of the earth's surface, 400,000 people who, in little over a cen- tury, have by industry, enterprise and well directed powers of accumula- tion and development, done more for themselves and their conntry than has beeu done by the people of Nova Scotia ; and yet all this has been wrought out in the face of special difficulties and obstructions of a very peculiar character. ti who, witli Exhibition, nude patent ung enough ley saw, — 1 always be >n the past, ose gentle- ledge have for them- they have itailed and ng address, !e.

Again the trade of the Eastern States was stimulated by a national Government that wisely opened the great West. Our great West has been kept as a hunting ground ever since Halifax was founded, and our twenty years' struggle for some means of connection with it, has as yet resulted in no percepti- ble stimubnt to our industry. Then again our mineral treasures were locked up by a close monoply till 1856, and down to this hour our hardy fishcmen are compelled to wrestle for the treasures of the deep in active rivalry with the French and American fishermen, stimulated by national bounties which our peo- ple have never enjoyed, and which have made the competition most severe. Ail these things should be taken into account when comparisons, which are unjust and offensive, are instituted. There are other things which should not be forgotten. We are some- times sneered at when Americans and Canadians come into our country and invest money in our mines, or in other branches of industry. I must confess that I do not feel the reproach. I have just returned from the formal opening of the Drummond colliery, which was to me a day of unmixed enjoyment. I saw a property, said to be worth millions, in the tranquil possession of comparative strangers. But what then ? They were gentlemen of capital and enterprize, thoroughly up to their work. They had expended £100,000, three-fourths of which had beeu spent on the employment of labor, and in the long and prosperous future which I trust is before them, they cannot raise a ton of coal that will not employ labor, and stimulate consumption both upon land and sea. Our people may contemplate scenes like tiiis without mortification or self-reproach, because they know that for every pound of capital that Nova Scotia possesses, three opportunities for investment less hazardous than mining, are presented every day. Our people then wisely choose the safer investment, and leave others which are unwieldly and hazard- ous, to those who have more capital to spare. But our neighbours in the United States did this in all the earlier stages of their development, and now, whenever any enterprise is beyond the available resources of their Capitalists or artizans, they invariably seek in Europe for the skill and money they require. Canada does the same, and she draws, as we do. upon the great Republic, but to a much larger extent, for men and means to found her factories, sink her oil wells, manufacture her lumber and work her mines. And besides it must not be forgotten in any friendly and fair comparison — and on this occasion I desire to institute no other, — that Canada has had the advantage of a million and- ^-half of pounds sterling lent to her at a low rate of interest in 1841, and she has also had the benefit of ten or fifteen millions more, poured into her lap ■'W^ 20 by the capitalists of England, who built her railroads. Nova Scotia has built her own, and paid for tluMn, and she has never asked or obtained by way of loan a pound from the British Government. Thus stru^Tgling through many diflicultics, and without any special aid, our people have had to developo their industry. How have thoy done it? Thoy have opened free roads all over the cotintry — bridged the streams and ptit no toll bars on them — explored the wilderness and sub- dued it — built churches, and endowed religion with that priceless endow- ment, perfect freedom. They have besides, lighted their coasts, educated their children, and cultivated the arts of life Avith that degree of success which justifies a Nova Scijtian in speaking of his country with modest pride. Beneath this roof, and in various Departments around this building, there arc many evidences and illustrations of successful industry. But how much is there that is not here, and that by no effort of the imagina- tion can wo ever hope in one view to combine ? What would we not give at this moment, for one glance at the majes- tic fleet, which would crowd Bedford Basin, anchored side by side, but which is dispersed all over the world, bearing our country's flag into every harbor and river's mouth where commerce has made a lodgment ? What would we not "ive for a sijrht of that Naval Brigade of noble men who man them, who reef their sails amidst the tempest, and dre:;m of their homes when the wind is fair? God bless and preserve the manly fellows, wherever they are at this hour, and may He bring them safe to land. In this day of general rejoicing, let not their bronzed faces and manly forms be forgotten, and let not those who would disparage the enterprise of our country fail to remember that the babe that was born yesterday is represented by a ton of shipping that was built before it was born. When told that Nova Scotia is behind other States in manufactures, we can point to our shipyards, every one of which is a manufactory, furnishing healthy employment in the open air. This great fleet is the combined result, and its renewal and extension, as freights increase in bulk and value, or ships wear out or ai'e lost at sea, will furuisii profit- able employment for our people for a century to come. In this connection I may observe that, only a fortnight ago, I saw, within a distance of six miles, in the eastern part of the county I represent three fine barques and a brig, finished this summer and launched within a week. A few years ago I saw a proud Yarmouth mother point to the photographs of seven sturdy men, (her seven sailor boys she called them) every one of whom commanded a fine ship, and had made at least one voyage round Cape Horn. In this connection also I may remark, as creditable to the habits of our seafaring people, that, in a ride of twenty- five miles round the township of Barringtou last summer, where nearly the whole population live by or on the sea, I was assured that the people drank very little spirits, and that t^iere was not a tavern to be seen.

Talk of enterprise if you will, but before Nova Scotiu is condemned for the want of it, I ask her defamcrs to point out, in any maritime country in the world, a class of men who, beginning with small means, Imve more ropidly risen to opulence, and who hav« done more to develope the resources of the country that gave them birth. We have all inspected with natural pride the produce of our orchards, which have been spread before our wondering eyes in this building for a M'eek. I nm familior with the great markets of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. When iu London, Coveut Garden, the mart for fruit and flowers in the great metropolis, is a favorite lounge ; and I do not hesitate to say that I never saw, iu either city, so fine a display of apples as Nova Scotia has sent to this exhibition. In pears the Channel Islonds and the South of France beat us all hollow. I have seen pears sold iu Covent Garden for eighteen guineas (S95) the dozen. In the old count- ries, where they have hundreJs of thousands of miles of permanent enclosures, wall fruit, protected from every blast by stone and brick, can be brought to great perfection in endless variety. By-and-by, when wood becomes scarce, and our enclosures are permanent, we may compete more successfully with the mother country than we do now ; but it is satisfactory to know that in apples and vegetables we cannot be beaten ; and in many varieties of pears, plums, cherries, gooseberries and currants, we can supply our wants so abundantly as to leave us but little to desire. There is one description of fruit which we rarely take into account, and hardly thank Providence for any more than for the air we breathe. A bountiful Creator covers our country with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, whortleberries and blackberries, every season. The wild woods, barrens and pastures are full of them ; and in a country where sugar is cheap, the whole population eat them freely all summer and preserve them for winter use. There is no such supply in the Mother Country, and if there were the mass of the people could not get at them without committing a tre'^pps?. We have them all, without planting, pruning, or care. It can do us no harm to thank God for them once in a while, when disposed to grumble and long for something which we have not got. The finer varieties of fruit that have been exhibited came out of the western valley. We wish they could be shown to all the world ; but if they were, how very inadequate would be the idea conveyed of the beauty, fertility, and social life of the region from which they came. I may be prejudiced and partial — who is not in speaking of his country? — but I have rambled about the world a good deal, and go where I will I always come back with the conviction that there is no body of farmers on this continent, living in a region of more natural beauty and fertility, than those who dwell between the Ardoise Hills and Digby. In England one man would own the whole, and those who tilled the I ■^ -fc^: •■^•w,,,^-*** ^1 I 22 soil wouW pay frora thirty shillings to four pounds of annual rent per acre. Here every man owns his own farm, and walks erect without anybody to make him afraid. The scenery is not bold, but the mountain ranges which enclose it give it great variety. Of the " Cottage Homes " which enliven the valley, Mrs. Hemans might fairly sing : They are smiling o'er the silvery brooks , And round the Hamlet fanes- Through glowing orchards forth they peep, Each fiom its nook of leaves ; And fearless there the lowly sleep As the bird beneath the eaves. A sight of this fruit would give but a very inadequate idea of the social and industrial life of this valley. Forty years of personal inter- course with its jjeople have made me familiar with its characteristics ; and I fearlessly assert that nowhere on this continent, can there be found men more rationally enterprising and industrious, or women who combine with great personal beauty, intelligence and good manners, more of the domestic virtues, that make farms profitable and homes happy. I have attended half a dozen monater picnics in this western valley, at each of which three or four thousand persons of both sexes were assembled. They drove to the grounds in their own waggons, nicely harnessed and appointed. Hay carts rolled up, loaded with cold meats^ cheese and apple pies. The vast multitude were fed frora their own stores, freely contributed to all comers ; and after a day spent in innocent pastimes and intellectual recreations, the crowds departed to their homes without a blow struck or an angry word spoken. I recentlj' attended a bazaar at Windsor. Tables were spread in the Drill Shed with everything that could tempt the appetite or please the eye. The object was benevolent — a Manse was to be built, and fourteen hundred people were present ; and when the funds were counted, it was ascertained that every person who attended had dropped a dollar into the treasury. These people were my own constituents. The great bulk of them were farmers and farmers' wives and daughters. They were well clad and well behaved. Their cheeks bloomed with health and their eyes sparkled with intelligence ; and when I reflected at night, that in a long summer day in that vast crowd, I had never heard an angry word or seen a drunken person, I could not help exclaiming, in the language of Burns : From scenes like these our country's grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home and known abroad. Long may such scenes be witnessed in Nova Scotia, and as each successive Exhibition illustrates the productive powers of our rural dis- tricts, may we be able to boast, with becoming pride, that their manners^ morals and steady habits are still preserved. The Eastern Counties have sent up to this Exhibition contribr't>ns of much value and great variety. Coal, iron and pottery, the prouurre of the Farm, the W orkshop and the Dairy.

Let any stranger ride up to the Musquodoboit, and down to the Stewiacke, and then, standing on a hill, overlook the vale of Truro, stretching his gaze till he surveys the fertile lands and happy homesteads to the mouth of the Shubenacadie on the one side and to the Five Islands on the other. There may be regions where the scenery is more majestic, and districts, in older countries, where the cultivation is more perfect, but I know of none where God, in his infinite mercy has so bountifully combined the means by which men can ration- ally livcj and where his blessings have been more thankfully enjoyeJ In all this region there are but few homesteads where thrift and industry do not form the rules of life, — where family prayers are not offered up duly morn and night, — and where the domestic virtues are not combined with a fair degree of mental culture. Last week a friend took me to the top of Eraser's mountain, a few miles to the eastward of New Glasgow. The view from the spurs of the Clement's Hills, overlooking the vale and Basin of Annapolis, includes a charming combination of land and water. The view from tho North Mountain, overlooking Cornwallis, with the Grand Pre and Evangeline's country in the distance, is rich in cultivation and poetic associations. The view from the Ardoise Hills, which includes the Avon and the St, Croix, and the township of Newport, Falmouth and Windsor, is varied and beautiful, but in panoramic extent and proportions, that from Fraser's- mountain surpasses them all. The Gulf of St. Lawrence, with Pictou Island and Prince Edward's in the fore ground, bounds the view to the north. Eastward the fertile frontage of the township of Maxwelton, with its »vheat fields and pastures, stretching away till the bold promontory of Cape George arrests the eye in that direction. All round the south and west we are enclosed by an amphitheatre of hills, fertile to their summits, on which the sturdy emi- grants from Old Scotland, and their descendants, have made happy homes. In the centre of this great picture lies the harbor of Pictou, with the old shire town at its entrance, and its three sparkling rivers pouring thair wealth into its lap. Almost at our feet nestles the thriving town of New Glasgow, which I remember when it contained but three houses and a blacksmith's shop, but which bids fair, by its enterprize and industry, to- rival the older centre of Pictou civilization. Beyond this again and' higher up the East River, where the country in 1830 was almost a wilderness, stretches the prosperous community gathered around the Albion Mines. The General Mining Association, who sunk the first shaft, and erected the first steam engine set to work in Nova Scotia, have given to our coal trade, both here and in Cape Breton, a practical deve- lopment practically to themselves and beneficially to our country. The works of the Drummond Colliery and of the Acadia Company we cannot discern, but we shall soon hear the whistle of the steam engine conveying fuel down the West River from the former, and may now see the care of .Jti I- I 111 t 24 the Acadia carrying their coal over the Proviucial Railway to the loading •ground at Fisher's Grant. Of this cheering scene of natural beauty and material progress, how faint, after all, is the estimate we oan gather from what Pictou has sent to this Exhibition. But what she has seut will be of great value, and what I have said may not be out of place, if thousands of Nova Scotians ;are attracted, as they ought to be, to the top of Eraser's mountain to see the noble outlines and industrial development of the fine county which I have so faintly endeavoured to describe* There are two persons that I almost wished could have stood beside my friend and I oh Fraser^s Mountain* The one was my father, who, when Postmaster General of this Province, established the first mail between Halifax and Pictou. It was carried in the pocket of a Highlander •who walked over bridle paths and performed the service once a week. On the track where my father placed the Highlander, I placed the loco- motive, and I pay my tribute of praise to those, who, adopting a truly Provincial policy, enabled me to see it thundering over this eastern por- tion of the line. The Duke of Sutherland, many years ago, evicted from his estates and shipped to Pictou, some hundreds of his tenantry that he might clear the land and turn it into pasture. The motive of this deportation \\ as probably selfish, and the mode in which the policy was carried out was severely criticised at the time. But Providence sometime brings good oat of evil, and if the Duke had stood on the mountain beside me, he would have seen the hills where those hardy old men sleep in peace, after well spent lives of sucoessfnil industry, and where their children live in comfort and abundaace, rarely, even at this day, enjoyed by those whom their fathers left behind, I would glance at the counties further east, including the Island of Cape Bretoia, but I have already trespassed largely upon your time, and have a few observations to make upon the more salient features of the Exhibition. Having d .velt upon the more obvious evidences of our material pro- gress, let me frankly acknowledge that there is one department in Avhich we are sadly deficient. I never go abroad, and return home, but the conclu- sion is forced upon me by comparison that in horses we are behind all the world but Labrador, where there are none, and Newfoundland where there are very few. The English Dray Horse who would weigh down or draw two of our ordinary draught horses, we have not got at .all. The English Hunter, who, with a man of two hundred weight upon his back, will gallop to hounds for hoursover ploughed fields and meadows, leaping fences and ditches by the way, we never see in Nova Scotia, and rarely anything approaching to him for bone and action. In racing stock we are far behind the point we had reached tliirty years ago, and a well formed Suffolk Punch or Shetland Poney is a rare sight in these days. But, putting aside all comparisons with the mother country, truth compels me to acknowledge that we are not only beaten by every State i li ••?? wi 25 to the loadiuff progreas. how ictou has sent eat value, and !^ova Scotiana ountain to see 3unty which I e stood beside father, who, he first mail a Higldander once a week, iced the loco- pting a truly ! eastern por- m his estates e might clear )ortation was rried out was brings good )eside me, he n peace, after ildren live in f those whom the Island of )ur time, and iatures of the naterial pro- t in which we it the conclu- de behind all idland where weigh down at .all. The on his back, Iowa, leaping , and rarely ng stock we I, and a well lese days. uutry, truth every State of the Union with which I am acquainted, but are not on a level with Canada, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward Island. Our gentlemen should take this matter in hand, and give some thought and spend some capital to wipe out this reproach, for next to their men and women all countries are judged by their horses ; and our farmers should look to it, for there is no more profitless stock, either for the field, the road, or the market, than poor horses. The show of cattle, sheep and pigs, at this Exhibition, if not all that could have been wished, has been very creditable and satisfactory. Larger and fatter animals would be seen at the great Christmas show at the Agricultural Hall, London, but it must be remembered that it would not pay us to cram oxen with oil cake until they were unwieldly, nor to employ boys to chip turnips and slip them into the mouths of pigs too fat to Ktand upon their legs. The conditions and climates of the two coun- tries must be taken into account. Cattle in England, can browse out nearly all winter, and the high prices of meat and the prizes which, at its great shows, such a wealthy country can afford to give, will always encourage high feeding to a point which it would be folly for our farmers to attempt to reach. In a country where cattle must be housed and fed for four or five months in the year, starting with good breeds, our policy must be to fatten quickly and kill early, because every winter that the ani- mals live over increases the risk or diminishes the profits. Our farmers appear to be acting upon this policy. Though I have seen larger ani- mals in former shows I think I never saw a better display of stoek, such as appeared to me to be suitable to the conditions and wants of the coun* try, and calculated to yield fair returns. The poultry show has been very fair, and a better display of roots and vegetables I never saw in any country. It is not, perhaps, general- ly known that nearly all that will come to perfection in these northern Provinces are more succulent and tasty than are those produced by the States lying further to the South. In this connection I may observe that though the potato rot still lingers in some quarters, this valuable escu- lent, in all parts of the country which I visited this autumn, appears to be rapidly recovering its ancienfVitality and flavor. One great branch of our industry has been poorly represented at this Exhibition. A quintal or two of dried Fish, a box of Digby Herring, and a few barrels of Salmon, Mackerel and Shad, with a Net or two and a few Hooks, have represented our Fisheries. The collection made by an amateur, was excellent, so far as it went, but it did not seem to satis* fy the eye, or to convey to the mind of a stranger, unacquainted with our country, an adequate idea of the proportions and value of that great interest which underlies all other interests, and which, from the very na- ture of things, must be one of the most permanent and enduring. Turning from this small court the other day, with a stranger on my arm, I tried to, make him understand that he must not judge of our Fish- eries by what he had just seen. '^ Glance " said I '^ along the map from Westport to St. Anne's, and you will see a frontage of nearly four 8 26 hundred miles of sea coast upon the Atlantic. The primitive rocks and rugged headlands along this coast form a natural breakwater, which protects the softer soils behind from the abrasion of the northern current and the perpetual roll of the sea. Fish love the clear Avalers of this southern coast, and trim around its inlets. We cannot see them, but we know the fact, that every summer day nine thousand boats are employed, counting the coast and inshore fisheries alone, while about a thousand vessels of a larger class are employed catching Cod upon the Banks, Mackerel in the Gulf, or Herring in George's Bay or on the coast of Labrador. The exact value of the catch I do not at this moment re- member, but, altogether independent of the mariners who man our ships and conduct our carrying trade, we have fifteen thousand hardy men who live by these fisheries alone. Of course," said I, " once in a while there is a failure in some branch of this great industry, as there was last year ; but with these vast fisheries in front, annually replenished by a l)Ountiful Providence, and with gold mines in the rear, even our southern coast, which used to be so much abused by the old geographei-s, is not without its value." My friend stared, but being a Scotchman, began to hum, with natural enthusiasm : " Weel may the Boatie row That wins the bairnies bread." Of our mechanics what shall we say but this, that having been much abroad for the last six or seven years, and having Avhen at home had but little leisure to inspect their woi'kshops and factories, I was not at all prepared for the very creditable display which they have made at this Exhibition. But there are perhaps few persons who can more duly es- timate the advances which have been made within the last forty years. My mind goes back to a period when there was not a steam engine or gang saw mill in the country, and hardly a skilled mechanic or a labour- saving machine in this town. I worked, during my apprenticeship,' at the old wooden hand press, with balls and rollers, poAver presses being then unknown. To change this state of things, to diffuse useful knowledge among our work people, and inspire them with pride in their pursuits, and to teach them to rely more upon the resources of science, a few men about 1830, combined their intellectual powers. A mechanic's library was formed, an Institute was opened, and courses of lectures were delivered every winter for twenty years. Mr. James Forman and myself have alone been spared to represent those who originated this movement. Dr. Grigor, George R. Young, AndrcAv MacKinlay, Geo. O'Brien, John Naylor, John S. Thompson, and others, whose names I cannot remem- ber , have passed away. General Cathcart who atended our first meet- ings, and zealously co-operated with us, fell at Inkerman, and sleeps on a hill side of the Crimea. By the mechanics of Halifax the memories of these men should be ever gratefully reniembered ; and let us hope that, now that our mechanics have increased in numbers, wealth, skill aud intelligence, the Institute will be revived, that they may have a perinan- •^'(t ve rocks aud water, whicli thern current aters of this tliein, but we ire employed, t a tliousand tlie Banks, tlie coast of momeut re- an our ships ^lardy men cc in a while icre was last nishcd by a our southern pliers, is not an, began to been much ome had but is not at all lado at this ore duly es- forty years, u engine or or a labour- Jnticeship,' at resscs being 3 among our md to teach about 1830, vas formed, tered every have alone iment.

TliiTc are others; avIio, on such an occasion as this, it would be gross ingrutitiulo not to remember, associated as their names and labors are Avith our material progress. The Duke of Kent brought the first fine breed of liorses to Nova Scotia. Lord Dalhousie lent the influence of his Mgli stiitinii and zealous personal cxiM-tions to the improvement of our ;t',a'icultur('. and his example, as well said on the opoii'! ■.{ day, was followi'd l»y Sir Gaspard LeMarchant. TIk nas King, of Wii.dsor, made llctreat a mod 1 farm, and the Hon. Chaidcs Prescott devoted a long and useful lif' '<> tlio improvement of our orclnrds, both by precept and ex- ample. To Titus Smith we owe the fii'st dawuings of natural science in this coun! ' ; and to Dr. McCulloch we are indebted, not only for some knowledge of ehemistry, but for lessons of thrift, conveyed to our agricul- tural classes in a homely style, at once qiuiint and attractive. There is one name that t!ic Chief Justice did not mention on the opening day; one that is rarely mentioned now, but that, on such occa- sions as tliis, ought never to be forgotten, the name of his fatlier the lato John Young. I am old enough to remember when the Letters of Agrico- la created ahnost as great a sensation among the farmers of Nova Scotia as did the Wavevley novels among the literati of Great Britain, and his subsequent rural and political life was passed under my observation. I knew him well, and it is no disparagement to his sons to say that he was an abler man thnn cither. Though somewhat too portly he was a grace- ful aud impressive speaker, and a writer of singular eloquence aud power. His range of knowledge ou economic questions and rural af- fairs Avas <*xtensive and profound. Coming from Scotland at a time Avhen Sir Jolui Sinclair and other practical thinkers had vastly improved its husbandry, he soon became keenly alive to the defects in our own ; aud his pen, ratiging over the Avhole field, roused our farmers to greater ex- ertions as with a blast of the trumpet. At that time Avheat was rarely eidlivated ; oat mills did not exist, and oat-meal, only used for gruel, was imported by the druggists. Our ploughmeu were not skilful, and sub- soil ]>loughing. the use of lime, rotation of crops and composting were Init lightly valued or little knoAvn. Our breeds had run out, and our farmers took little pride in an occupation Avhich, after the high prices of the Amerieau Avar had passed aAvay, seemed hardly'Avorth pursuing. It is but fair to own that all this Avas changed by the letters of Agricola. and by the exertions of the Central Board aud the County societies which Avere oganized after their publication. The growth and expansion of our rural life, as I have sketched it, and the improved production of our soil, as illustrated by this Exhibition, date from this period ; and I am sure you Avill pardon me for thus lingering for a moment beside the grave of one to Avliom avc are so much indebted for the material prosper- ity Ave enjoy. But you ask me what of the future? Of the political aspects of our -Br'|j:| 28 country I can here say nothing, though I may take an early opportunity^ in some other place, to freely discuss them. But this I may say that Nova Scotia in all the vicissitudes and trials of the past has not wanted skill and energy to guide her. Let us hope that with the blessings of a kind Providence, the resources of her stateoioanship may not fail her now. Of one thing we may be assured, that her fertile soil will not fail if properly cultivated — that her artizans will prosper as they increase in skill and knowledge, that the sea will yield her trcasuers and our mines their wealth, if wrought with enterprise and industry. However institu- tions may change or politicians may wrangle, our firesides will glow and our rivers run sparkling to the sea. The birds will sing and the flowers bloom, and the stars will shine out at night upon the yonngsters making love in the good old fashion. There will be orange blossoms in the churches, and babies in the cradles to replenish the earth ; and, come what may, lei us hope that every ten years Nova Scotia may have an In- dustrial Exhibition^ and that each one may be an improvement upon the last. I jsiij, 8ecti( 1.- 2.— I 3.- 4.- 'm opportunity, ay say that not wanted essings of a not fail her will not fail increase in i our mines ^ever institu- ill glow and the flowers Iters making 3oms in the ; and, come have an In- mt upon the PRIZE LIST.
