The Post Office Inspector was in the
Neighborhood one day last week with
reference to the proposed new post
office.—The 24th of May was celebrated
here in right -royal style. A few weeks
ago some of our leading spirits said
"Lets have a 24th of May picnic" and
a picnic was arranged for which proved
a success in numbers, games, eatables
and everything else that goes to make
a successful outing. Everybody seem-
ed in good humor and that itself is a
guarantee against failure. Early in
the morning flags might be seen on
housetop, windmill and flag pole flap-
ping their welcome to the coming of
Her Majesty's 76th. Birthday. In the
afternoon crowds with well filled bas •
kets were seen wending their way to-
wards the flag at the entrance of Depu-
1yReeye Keddy's field. At 2.50 p m.
the foot ball and other games were in
full progress. While all the races etc.
proved yery interesting yet the chief
interest centred in the tug of war and
the hurdle race, The tug of war was
between the married and the single
men, sides chosen by Messrs, John Moir
and A, Mitchell. After a long pull
and strong pull, the benediets proved
too much for the bachelors in two
straight pulls, Thefoot ball match be
tween sides chosen by Messrs. W. Ked-
dy and D. Dew resulted in a victory
for the latter. Space forbids us men
tioning all the events; suffice it to say
that all were well carried out and well
contested, Swings, Croquet and other
amusements found plenty of votaries,
especially the good things provided by
the ladies, Much credit it due those
who bad the affair in hand and it is to
be hoped it will be an annual affair, so
loat least as we are Spared d to sin tr
"God save the Queen," Cheers for thtie
Qneere and for Messrs. Keddy and
,Blatchford for the use of the picnic
ground, closed an excellent days
port.
Her Majesty's Birthday,
The Exeter Turf Club Sustain
Their Former Reputation.
An Elegant Day; or Races.—A. Large
Crowd rn Attendance.
Friday last, the anniversary of ber
Majesty's Birthday, was most fittingly
celebrated in Exeter. Favored with
"Queen's weather" of the most glorious'
kind, the Exeter Turf Club sustain
their former reputation in a right royal
fashion, The events of the day, as
previously adyertised, opened with a
ealithumpian procession, headed by the
Exeter Brass Band, at about 10.30. The
turnout was not overly large but the
different representations were of a most
ludicrous character and was a source
of much merriment for bath old and
young,
As the day advanced and the hour
of the 'first race drew nigh a continu-
ous procession occupied the route lead-
ing to the race course until fully three
thousand people had assembled.
The day's card consisted of four reg-
ular events, three trotting and one run-
ning and a running exhibition of team
elk to harness. The racing through-
out was most excellent, except in the
first race which was a little tame. Fol-
lowing is the result:--

The Free-for-all was without a doubt,
the best race of the day and was wit-
nessed with a great deal of interest.
The first -heat showed almost conclu-
sively that the contest was ceatered
between Dixie Van and Dick French,
although the other two horses were by
no means unworthy of their class. From
start to finish each heat was very close
and the clever performances of the two
leading horses were watched with mo-
mentary enthusiasm. Summary:--

The running race was of short dura-
tion. There were five entries but in
the very first heat three of the horses
were distanced, leaving Gretta "H"
and Prince Charles to finish, which was
done in the second heat. In the first
heat Bell Mack bolted and threw her
rider clean over the seven foot fence.
Strange to say he escaped without a
scratch and none the worse for his re-
markable acrobatic feat. Summary:—

much appreciated music.
