To TEE PEOPLE op WEsTDUAM Efforts are being made to mnake the Fail Exhibition this year a record breaker. The directors, have decided on a two-daý s' fair-Thursday and Fn.- day September lSth and luth. Persons desirîng to become members nust pay $1.00 before Aug. 26 lu tihe Secretary, oz other officer or director who hiave ail been furnished with tickets. After Thursday August 25 to become a miem- ber, will cost $2. Some radical changes haveG been made in the prize list this year. For instance, only actual residents oA West Dlurharn can compete lu grains and seeds, ladies' departrnent, work done by girls under 14 years, decorative and constructive art, and fine arts. The ob- ject lu this limitation is to shut out the professional exhibitors who make the rounds of thse fairs often with articles they have bought. Local exhibitors lu these classes will appreciate their action and should put forth renewved effort to make thse exhibit in ail these classes as good and, extensive as possible. Thse change is au experiment and the resuit will determine whether it will be con- tiuued. Great cane will be exerciîed this year to ascertain that ail animais and articles exhibited are the boua fide property of the exhibitor, and every means taken t.i eîsure fair play to ccômr- petitors lu ail departments. Special care has been exercised to secure impartial and competent judges. Additional expeut e will be iucurred to ac imrplish this, as outside men chiefiy haw been chosen. Toronto men of high repute have been selected for fine arts and poultry and a very competent lady from a distance for tlhe ladies' de- partment. Swiuîe breeding and raihin,7 having corne Ümuh into prominence UÂ lai e over 20 additional prizes have been adided to the more pepular breeds and Poland Chinas have been stricken off. The poultry list has been revised anîd lu- creased. Weadvise ail regular exhibitors to make a sunreme effort this year to out- do auy former display and as the diîrec- tors aLve taken desired action te shut ont the "rounders" who have hereto- fore captured so great bulk efthtie priz- es, we believe, unfairly, we shall expeet to see mauy new exhibitors. Dou't de- lay lu seduring your membership ticket. ihen if you have any thing in stock, farm produce, fruit, or any article for which a prize is offered don't fait to get il ready for the Fair and anake as uiany entries as y ou can. We shall have more to say as the Fail exhibition draws nearer. The managing committee is compos- ced of L. A. W. Tole, John Davey, Thos. Baker, J. M. Jouess and H. C. Rbar. Mr. Tole is mana-er with thse others as an advisory board. This is a ne* ord- er of things after thse mariner, of thse big exhibitions, and should be an im- provernent if the committee works ail right. The revised prize list wil b' out soona and a copy will be mailed to everv member. IV. A. JAmEýs, Secnctany.
