Ki 10 90H, 0S RE -- -- y THE OSHAWA DAILY: TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1929 Night Shows ednesday and Thursd Grandstand Programs For Fair Are-of Highest Order, "Besides Many Fine Features THe time is drawing close to the grand opening day of the annual 'South Ontario Agricultural Society Fall Fair. For some time now the dates September 10, 11 and 12 have been kept before the public as the dates carrying the most meaning in them during the early Fall. A 'get together" day, a day for old friends to renew acquaint- ances, a day for friendly competi- tion in the many channels provided for this part of the program; that's the byword of the Oshawa Fair for 1929. Thus the opening day of the Fair carries with it a meaning auf its own, a plural meaning, for the family, for the _raiser of prize stocks for the horticultural exhibit-' or, for the cook, and for countless "others who will take advantage of .the splendid opportunities to dis- play visitors in,the hope that they will capture one of the many varied prizes. To use the identical words of "the president of the Society, J. S. «Kyle; 'The 'Agricultural commun- ity in thé neighborhood of 'Oshawa never had a better chance to show their wares or take larger prisus home and the liberality of the priz- ns offered should create greater in- verest among the exhibitors." Besides the excellent entertain- ment features at the Fair the usual splendid confpetitions which are =o keenly contested in the many classes provided, will this year be swelled to meet the demands of the Directorate. This body announces that every side of the whole three- 'day program has necessarily meen enlarged, a fact which will. make Oshawa's Fair this year an out- standing event, and long to be re- membered. ° : Ontario, being highly an agri- cultural center, a center also where the breeds of the stock are of the highest standard, is given its op- portunity of displaying the same to (Stand is to be a feature of Thurs- hundreds of outsiders as well as to our own inhabitants. Friendly competition is the great means by which the standard of the stock is upheld, and_not only this but other redeeming. reasons as well, tend to point out that showing in the Oshawa Fair has its decided ad- vantages. x The committees chosen by the directorate to supervise each sec- tion of the stock and cattle entries are especially adapted for ' their work in that they are well-known throughout the country as critics and judges of their particular classes. A prize list, complete in every detail is in the hands of the publishers, the . minute following of which 'will save the exhibitors much trouble and possible disap-' pointment. NS The cattle exhibits this year are expected to surpass all other years, both in quality and quantity. This section of the Fair always attracts considerable - attention. Several special "features in regard tp the cattle displays have been added to the agenda by the Directorate which will greatly improve the showing. An announcement has been made that Grand Parade of all the prize winning horse and cat- tle classes in front of the Grand day, September 12. This parade will be handled in a manner similar to: the 'great Scotch and English shows. All prize winning horses and cattle must enter this parade in order to be entitled to the prize money which is offered, and no prize money will be paid by the sec- retary unless the winner is report- ed as having participated in the parade. This parade is the big at- traction of the last day of the Fair and a full Grand Stand will be on hand to witness it. A good list of Trials of Speed will be arranged for the second purses will be offered for compe- tition in these events, and it is an- nounced that the track for these races is to be put into splendid shape. . ; A Baby show, carried on under rigid restrictions, in the big tent at. three o'clock on the Thursday afternoon is certain to attract wiae attention. Prizes totalling $42 'have been arranged, entries to be made on the day of the Fair to the judge, Dr. Rundle. A Fair would not.be a Fair un- less the 'Midway was present, and the Fair dates include four . vide entertainment during the da; as well as the night. 3 shows are noted for their cleanliness in presentation, and no doubt will serve. On Wednesday and Thursday af- ternoons and evenings there will be free acts of vaudeville in front of the Grand Stand. Seven dig ucts 'are scheduled to take place. In addition to this there 'will be two Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Special attention has been given te the choice of free attractions. mx- tra money has been expended in or- der to provide a program that wil surpass any of the previous shows ofvthis mature," A band will be in attendance every afternoon and evening, and is none other than the Ontario Regimental Band which will also play for all performances. This splendid musical organization is one of the best military bands in the Province and always pre- sents a pleasing program. In Alexandra Park, -Oshawa has a splendid and picturesque location for a Fall Fair. No further infor- mation is necessary to tell citizens of this city and district in what fine environment the Fair operates, but this year the Directorate are looking forward to record attend- ance every day of the Fair, and the enthusiasm which has always been shown in this annual has in- creased tremendously. Some people try to learn so much by watching the mistakes of others and third days of the Fair.

Plans are well under way, Secretary Charles P. Davis states, to mak this year's fair one of excep- tional merit. The prize list for the exhibition, which opens to the pub- lic 'this year on Wednesday, Sep- tember 11, will be the largest in the history of the institution. The fair's history in Oshawa dates from 1906 'when, following the disruption of the old alliance be- tween South Ontario and «Durham County agricultural societies which held their annual fair at Whitby, the exhibition was moved to Oshawa. The Oshawa Athletic Association's park was used for the first fair here, but more land was subsequently ac- quired and developed into the Alex- andra Park of today. A grand stand was needed, and a structure answering that descrip- tion was moved from Prospect Park to the fair grounds. Prospect Park was, in 1906, undeveloped land which later, became part of the magnifi- cent grounds of "Parkwood," Col. R. S. McLaughlin's Oshawa estate. The fair in Oshawa, under the South Ontario Agricultural Society, was a financial success from the be- ginning. New buildings were added as needed, and the plant developed into its present efficiency. The new grandstand in Alexandra Park with half mile running track is used by the fair, but belongs to the city. The track is one of the finest in On- tario. The 1906 prize list paid was less The 1928 prize list was The chief buildings consist of a main exhibition hall for display of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, dairy products' and flowers. Accommoda- tion is also provided for a few local merchants. The Ladies' Building is devoted to women's work, and is also the Fair's financial headquart- rs. There is a poultry building, six cattle and horse barns and a sheep barn. In the near future a new main building will be required, and the fine exhibits of Home and School Councils, hitherto held in a large tent, may demand permanent quar- ters. This year's opening day feature for public school children, all of whom will be admitted as guests of the fair board, will be continued, it is believed.
