SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Magdalen Islands Lines.—The cable between Old Harry and the mainland atMeat Cove continues in the condition mentioned in last year report. It has beensatisfactorily operated and nothing was done to it since. The section of land line along the sand bar, between Amherst and Etang duNord. referred to in last years report, was rebuilt early in the spring, the barInning made up again very considerably ; and in view of former experience therereasonable expectation that this pole line might hold out, and it wasthought advisable to defer steps towards putting down a cable as was contem-plated. The pole line was however subject to frequent but brief interruptionsin the course of the season. Another year will probably determine the questionas to the advisableuess of substituting a cable for the present means of connection.
