The feeling was that horse breeders should take an interest in the Fair here and endeavor 10 bring in their horses. Mr. White said that although he did not attend the Fair last year, he 1 | had heard that while lots of people attended there was nothing to see. The majority of those present, the case, as the showing of cattle iv some of the classes last year, and special attractions. were the best! ever seen at the Fair herve. The opinion was expressed by one | member present that last year's showing of beef cattle was the best ever seen at Oshawa Fair.
