Fail lFair lim-e again and ideal weather for such occasions. Last, Saturday we~ went to the alo County Fair at Milton. I don't know how mrany passedi throuigh- the gate but it must Certinly have been a record crowd. And.è eo many changes since we were- there two years ago. Correction -since I was there. Partner w,,ent last year lbut, it rained and rather mnade- a mess of things. Thiis year w,,e found a new granid- stand with plenty of roomn under the grandstand for exhibits anid , ea roomyj.* Il was a tremendous imnprovemnent oni the oid set-ýup. 0f course, there were trotting races. MUore than that therewa a bookîe, semething new! for Mil- ton. He attracted quite a lot of attention. I1 stood close by and watched for a while as twe dol- lar bils changed Ihands as bets wvere taken for the various horses. Then 1 looked a-s the nx race was run but found muore - terest in watching the faces ef the betters than the pregres-s of the race. Not a'Il could wýin and it was easy te pick out the losers.ý The show of herses and live- st-ckz was wonderful, aiso the wvork and exhibits of the Junior Farmers and t11he 4-Hl Clubs. The-- wvortoen's section showed a tempt- ing array of baking, pickles, pre- serves andhacirft The vai- oas W.I. branches had a 4ývon- derful xii - as thiey alwaYs do.
