The Exhibits Were Splendid--There Were 800 People in Attendance-- 14th Band of Kingston in ance, ' The Storrimgton Township ~ Agri- cultural Fair was held at Inverary! The weather was fine and a record crowd was in attend- ance, Up to' 3.30 p.m. there was a constant stream of automobiles and carriages toward Inverary and at that hour the gate showed that 800 | visitors had ' been admitted. The automobiles numbered ° fully 150.) Farmers' wives and daughters filled the grounds and the occasion, be- sides bringing inte competition the skill and patience of the farmers, af- forded an opportunity for social in- tercourse, which was enlivened by the 14th P.W.O.R. band of Kingston, under the able direction of Bandmas- ter Hunt, who gave numerous martial and patriotic airs. The exhibits in the main building were splendid. There were loaves of well-baked bread fully seven inches high; buns, cakes and pies; canned | fruit, pickles, butter, cheese, rasp- berry vinegar, maple syrup, jelly and jam; needle work, knitting and chil- dren's dresses; embroidery, whicn displayed ingenuity 'and skill. Pro- minent, too, were oil paintings and crayon drawings. Then came the dif- ferent varieties of vegetables, fall and | spring wheat, rye, peas, barley, oats, | timothy} beans and corn. The very| best that the land could produce was to be found here. The Lindsay Music Company gave demonstrations on the player-piano; graphonola and sonora phonographs, and the Singer Sewing Machine Com- pany was also conspicuous. The dis- play in this building was in charge of W. Moreland and T, Arthur, : There was not a large exhibit of cattle or horses, which is evidence of a regrettable lack of interest on the part of some farmers. The farmers of Storrington township are reputed to be among the best in the whole Kingston district and a visit to their farms shows a steady improvement in buildings, cattle and horses. Neigh- bors vie with each other in adopting the latest and best methods, the son tries to do a little better than the father did, but fer some reason there is an absence of the sporting spirit, There should have been more entries Of cattle and horses, Among the pure bred Holsteins were some very fine cows and one magnificent bull. The latter was the property of Lieut.~ Col. F. Ferguson. Many of the win- ners had it very much their own way from lack of competition. M, A, May- bee, of Trenton, was the judge of cat- tle, and R. H. Richardson, of Ottawa, the judge of horses. There were a few fine horses exhibited, but many | were not of a high class. The Tam-| worth, Yorkshire and Chester White! hogs were very fine, but the entries were ndt numerous. The chickens, | turkeys, geese, ducks and pigeons were of the best, The management of the fair was under the direction of George Leath- erland, the president, who was a 'hard-working official. The other offi- clals were: P. Edwards, first vice- president; JF. Holmes, second vice- president; E. F. Dennee, secretary- tregsurer; F. S. Ferguson, W. More- lan® T. Arthur, James Shepherd, R.! Arthur, M. B. Graves, H. Lyon, A.' Garrett, B. A. Lake, directors. A. Garrett was in charge of the horses, M. B.*Traves in charge of the cattle and T. Arthur, hogs, sheep and poul- try. Storrington township is one of e best in the county of Frontenac. The land is fertile and the crops, this year, have been generally good. The exhibits of vegetables, graia aud la- dies' work cannot be excelled any-| where in the province of Ontario.' This is a tribute to those who con- tributed of their skill and energy to! make the fair a success, and many of them will be keen competitors at the Kingston Fair, which is to be hell during the last week of this month.

Citizen Says Appeal of Commission Is a Timely One, y "I think the appeal of the Civie | Utilities Commission to the 'people ot! Kingston, to conserve the gas, is | most timely," remarked a citizen to | the Whig. "I think there is a waste of gas in many homes and I think it! 'is only right that we should all Jo our best to conserve, and more espec- fally at a time when the supply is very low. Of course, many people have beepfusing gas to save their rup- ply of wood and coal, and it will ap- pear to them as pretty hard linas, but I think the situation warrants | careful consideration and prompt ac- tion on the part of the citizens."
