unbroken forest, appeared the cemetery where lay the remains of the pioneers of 100 years ago and of their descendants since that time. The grounds were carefully cleared the graves sodded and ornamented with ﬂowers.

To the right of the church near the cemetery was a large table covered with dainties, an omen of good times to come, while more to the front near the road, and sheltered by a canopy and an impenetrable wall of beautiful green, was built a large stage. 0n the right was the church organ with the Covehead choir, nineteen in number, ranged in two tiers on either side of it. To the left was the pulpit, behind which sat His Honour Lieut-Governor MacKinnon, the chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Spencer, the present pastor of the church. The remainder of the stage was occupied by visitors, mostly clergymen and by several of the descendants of the Rev. Peter Gordon. (The Daily Patriot, Charlottetown, August 23, 1906).

After the singing by the choir, scripture reading and prayer, the Lieut-Governor gave an excellent address on the past 100 years, contrasting conditions then with those of the present, followed by the Rev. Mr. Fullerton on the development of Presbyterianism on Prince Edward Island. Dr. Murray, editor of the Presbyterian Witness of Montreal also spoke, predicting the union of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches in the not very distant future.

All repaired to the beautiful little church to witness the unveiling of the memorial slabs to the Rev. Peter Gordon (by his grandson, Dr. Baxter); the Rev. Robert Douglass (by Dr. Falconer, the Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly); and the Rev. James Allan (by His Honour Lieut-Governor MacKinnon).

As it was now nearly 2 pm. most of the visitors were glad to hasten to the dining tables where they were promptly and liberally supplied with the best of food by the energetic and courteous ladies of the district. A large marquee from Charlottetown was set up near the church, the sides being sheltered by canvas and by the kitchen stoves over which the ladies toiled incessantly. The tables, in addition to their load of edibles, were tastefully decorated with sweet peas, geraniums, bachelor’s buttons and ferns as well as large cakes ornamented with red and white ribbons. At the end next the church, refreshments in the shape of ice cream, temperance drinks, candy and cigars were served to a never ending stream ofpatrons (At 4:30 p.m.) the powerful voices of Messrs. Carter and LE. Prowse of Charlotte- town and Mr. Ready of Corran Ban made the woods ring as they sold off the ornamented cakes to ready bidders. Appropriate jokes rendered the occasion unusually lively a ready sale resulted, the cakes selling at an average of $2.25 each; over $700 were received at the tables, and over $60 from sale of cakes.
