Exhibits Are Much More Numerous Poultry Display Twice as Large as Last Year--W. F. Nickle Open- ed Fair. . { R. J. Bushell, secretary-tredsurer | and nrapager of the Kingston Indus- trial Exhibition, was a busy, but happy man Tuesday morning. He smiled as he hustled, and why i shocldn't he smile? It was the most promising opening day of any fair of which he has been the presiding genius, and that is going | some, for each succeeding exhibition | has been more successful than its | immediate predecessor. - { 'The ehibitors were never so plenti- | fu as they were Tuesday morning. | The grounds were literally swarming | with people, who were anxious to get | their exhibits placed. Manager Bushell was enthusiastic over the way articles for exhibition were pour- ing in. "There js no comparison," the genial manager. ahead of the best year we have ever had. All departments are much better filled than they were last year, and in some lines the exhibits are four times as great as they were in 1916." Heretofore the vegetables have been displayed in the Crystal Palace, but owing te the greatly increased demand for space in that building it was found necessary to move the large and excellent collection of vegetables to the poultry building, A great part of the palace is taken up with displays by business con- cerns. These displays are very .at- tractive, and draw the: attention of the mere pleasure seeker as well as that of the purchaser to be. ' There are several fine automobiles on e- ition... .In this building -the BEx- perimental Farm has an extensive exhibit, which is an unfailing source of delight to the farmer, and even to his city cousins. There is also a rest and redding room fitted up by the Christian Science church, which is proving a great source of comfort to many a weary visitor. replied "We are away The Poultry Display. The poultry display is about twice as large as it was last year, there be- ng upwards of 300 superior birds on exhibition. In all other departments the ex- hibits are of a surpassing quality and quantity. The horees and cattle are to be brought in Wednesday, and some choice specimens are promised. The following officials are in charge: J. A. Wilmot, president; A. W. Sirret, superintendent of child- ren's exhibit; P. D. Lyman, poultry division; Rev. J. H.

It was very dis- appointing to them to have to re- main behind. They enlisted for ov- erseas service, and the greatest de sire of their lives was to get to the firing line. This officer who was talking to the Whig is now engaged in fecruiting, and while recognizing that this work had to be done, he said his heart was in France, and heé would give all he possessed if he were allowed to proceed overseas. When an officer was not allowed to g0 to the front, he continued, there was some uncharitable person ready to remark that the reason why he was not in France was that he was suffering from cold feet. Such an explanation was as unkind as it was unwarranted. Every officer who had enlisted for overseas service was ex- ceedingly disappointed when he was not allowed to cross the ocean.
