Never, the directors say, has the fair had more entries nf line borses. Certainly the prize win- ring steeds made a gallant show- ing as they teok part in the par- ade yesterday, Before the prc- cession was organized thire was a greateconfusion of men and borges at the north end of the "grounds, horces pranced about and neighed loudly as they were beld firmly by their bridles; the svene resembled a well known English painting of the fair. But the directors soon evolved order out of all this seeming con- fusion and a long rrocession of horses and cattle started acrcse the infield to the extreme south end of the race track, then tura ed to the right to pass in front of the grandstand and the thous- ands of people who had gathered tnére and along the edg: of the racetrack.

At the tail end of the proces- sion were the cattle, Shorthorns, Holsteins and Jerseys.

George T. Morris is chairman, conferred with J. K. Partridge, Engineer of the Department of Public Works, and Col. B. J. Mc- Cormick, the local Wharfinger, at the local Harbour yesterday evening with a view to complet- ing definite arrangements for the disposa] of the material which will be removed from the turn- ing basin when the contract for the necessary dredging has been et. The decision arrived at was that the logical location for dumping this material was just north of the Oshawa Creek and east of Simcoe Street South, on the marshland which is at pres- ,ent of little, if 'any, value except as a home for muskrats. With the dumping of.the mat- erial removed by the dredge from big turning basin at this spot it is expected that the city will gain from fifteen to twenty acres of good land which can be put to some useful purpose, while the contract price for the dredging will also be materially affected as the location chosen is in close proximity to the dredging opera- tions, BRILLIANT SHOW MARKED CLOSING OF OSHAWA FAIR Grandstand Crowd Delight- ed With Vaudeville and Display of Fireworks The 1931 "Oshawa Fair" clo- scd in a blaze of fireworks last night. A "Good Night" sign, made in a brilliant design of fire- works, marked the official close of one of the best fairs whick the county has ever witnessed. From the standpoint of attendance this 18 hardly correct, but from thc standpoint of the quality and quantity of exhibits, the number of features, amusements 11d at- tractions it is by no means an exaggeration. The fine weather of last night brcught a tremendous crow i into the grounds and the midway and grandstand were thronged. But included in the crowd was a host of children and one suspected that not a few had managed to sneak in by way of the golf links fence which gives the fair grounds nothing but a flimsy barrier. against those who would worm their way in without paying. The grandstand perfbrmance, provided by Webb's Passing Par- ade Revue, was of character and was witnessed by a large aud- fence. * Space in the grandstand was at a premium ' while hun- dreds crowded into the open area mn front of the improvised stage. Music by the Great Lakes' Girl Orchestra, song and dance num- bers aided by a peppy little chor- ue, sparkling skits, vocal setec- tions and xyllophone solos were ircluded in a thoroughly enjoy- able program. With the ald of the amplifers the audience was dble to hear everything distinctly even in the farthest corner of the grandstand. Brilliant Display The fireworks display wnich brought the fair to a close pro. vided a riot of color, noise and novelty. Rockets and flares went soaring high into the star speck- led sky, then broke to send forth a shower of red, green, yellow and purple spangles. As the sky was lit up with rockets and flares, and as the heavy explosions of the fireworks echoed and re-echoed down the valley to the west of the fair grounds, Oshawa seemed to be in the midst of an aerial raid, Fortunately the only mis- sles which dropped to earth were showers of harmless, beautiful objects which looked for all the world like colored shooting stars. The waterfall effect was again repeated last night, while a min- iature battle between a tank and fortification was most realisef:. The designing of the union jack in fireworks was also much ad- mired. A tired, but well pleased and happy crowd, accepted the "good night" intimation as it was flash- ed on the scene.

Clemshaw of Buffalo, New York, was drowned at the beach in Port Hope about four thirty o clock yesterday afternoon, when she was washed by the high waves from a ledge of rock where she had been placed by a younger sister after she had gotten into difficulties.

According to information ga- thered in Port Hope it was learn- ed that the two sisters who had been gummering at Port Hope had entered the water for a swim during the afternoon. Due to the roughness of the water, Miss Clemshaw who was a fair swim- mer got into difficulties, but was essisted by her younger sister to a ledge of rock from whence they attempted to attract attention on shore. Failing in this the young- er sister set out for shore to get help, but by the time aid was se- cured her sister had been wfished of the ledge and had disappear- e Captain Donald Matthews and H. Campbell, local fishermen, who set out in a rowboat and af- ter forty minutes of dragging lo- cated the body. Resuscitation efforts followed, but death was pronounced by Dr. F. W. Dia- mond.
