Society would do well to encourage the splendid work of Br Cook along these lines, and would benefit from such efforts as well as encourage the young exhibitors. The Women's Section was another feature of the Fair that deserved to ts be commended. There had long been opposition to having Board of Directors, but since their ap- pointment they had proved the wisdom Land justice of their admission, and he was sure that all recognised the ad- vantage of allowing them a share in the management. The Women's Sec- tion and the School Fair Section were the most creditable parts of last years Exhibition. There was always: the difficulty of arousing the interest of the Commun- ity in the Annual Fair, but this trouble had to ke faced by other similar Socie- ties. He believed it would be advisable to add some attractions to the Prize List. He expected some pretty good prizes to be offered this year for diiv- ing contests, particulars of which THE Annual Meeting of the Dryden . large one; but fairly representative, samples of district produce, and the | The * ladies on the! would be made known later. Also he hoped to promote a plowing match this year, which should stir a lot of interest These things would be arranged at the first meeting of the new Directors.

Exhibition. ilatter had gained much approval, he While the showing at the had a plan to make it even more suc- cessful. It was his intention to take charge of the best of the exhibits at the School Fair, as there was a great deal of work in connection that it was itoo much to expect the children to at- tend to themselves. His suggestion that the School Fair list be incorporat- ed with the Prize List was very readily adopted. D. Frejd moved that the Society f enter in the Combined Standing Field Crop and Seed Grain Competition, and { that Mr Cook be placed in charge to + look after the necessary entries and ; secure the seed. This was carried. | In electing officers for the year, it | was suggested that four of the nine directors be ladies, instead of three as formerly. This was carried unanim- ously. The following officers were then elected. Pres--Jno. Hutchison. ist Vice.--Jno Guthrie. 2nd Vice.-- Robt. Johnston, jr. Directors--M. F. Cook, D. Frejd, J. H. Parr, Jas. Hutchison, Ed. Dawkins.

FAIR MEASUREMENT at times with regard to the quality and measurement of cordwood delivered in town for fuel, not a few disputes being heard on this subject. Much of this could be avoided by having everv load measured and inspected by the official who attends to the town scales, who is always available. He could just as easily check up a load of cordwood by measure as coal and hay is now checked by weight, with satisfaction to both dealer and customer, who are only looking for a square deal. The small charge for each load would algo bring in a little revenue and might save the scales from being run at a loss to tha town.
