Is it not time that the directors of this fair would take the necessary steps to awaken a live interest among cattlemen i in this fair, and secure a lively competition in the different classes or drop cattle a1- together. There is neither glory nor money under the present system, hence the lack of interest. Compared with former years there is a great falling ofi‘ in heavy or imported Clydesdales. A promi- nent breeder remarked to the Watchman- Warder that if the fair was held a week earlier than usual, or even held in the middle of the week instead of on the Saturday proceeding the opening of the stud season. that many more horses would find their way to Lindsay, and breeders would have an opportunity to hold out inducements to have them remain in the county. These are important points for the directorate to consider at the next meeting. Only two imported Clydesdales were exhibited in the heavy draught class, McClinker and Knight of St. Andrew’s. The former is a new importation owned by the Robertson Bros., and although only three years old give: every promise of developing into a great sire. The old Knight of St. Andrew's is known far and near, and needs no letter of introduction Granite Lad was the stumbling block for this fair, however, and captured the judges fancy first. In the Canadian draught class “everything went” in so far asentires was concerned, as it included not only its own kind but French and Shire stallions as well. Of these only two ‘ came under the inspection of the judges. They were Mr. Talbert Evans’ handsome sire Prince Edward, and Mr. Symon’s Pride of Scotland. Both these animals are greatly improved over their form of last year. Goslin’s Sans Pareil and Messrs. Pogue and Caldwell’s Morocco were simp- ly exhibited to show what the Canadian French horse really is. Mr. John Strutt of Cambray showed the English Shire stallion Leake Rover that attracted a great deal of attention, owing to the possession ofalong silky mane that nearly reached the ground. Another equine was a large up-headed grey, Prince Orlofl‘, which was exhibited as a coacher. The entry list in the roadster division included three standard-bred stallions and one non- standard sire, and was perhaps the most representative for some years. The entries comprised Mr. Cu'rtis' Keswick, Dr. Nasmyth’s Canadian Star, Mr. Simp- son's Sando and Mr. Wm. Thorndike’s Haltoneer, the latter a. promising three- year-old sired bv Altoneer. Mr. John Simpson of Cameron also had his big chestnut Forest Boy on the grounds. Following is the prize list: Heavy draughtâ€"13f. Dr. Broad‘s Granite Lad ; 2nd Robertson Bros.

The annual spring fair of the Ops agricultural society was held in the agricultural grounds on Saturday after- noon last. The attendance of farmers was not in keeping with the importance of the fair from a breeders stand point. A number of choice sires were exhibited in the equine line, but the showing in cattle was simply farcical, as only one animal At the Cambridge-st. Methodist church the pastor conducted both services. In the evening a choice musical program was rendered. Mr. J. A. Culverwell, electrical broker of Toronto. contributed a. solo. At St. Andrew‘s the pastor lectured on "Oliver Cromwell” in keeping with the 300th anniversary of the great Proctector’s birth. The speaker dealt at length with the political condition of that period, and clearly outlined Cromwell‘s relation to them. More briefly but yet comprehen- sively the character of the great man was portrayed and eulogized. InIthe preacher’s ‘-:-‘-A- “\Tn ”ran for C(11)] has (Iwelb in human clay."

The sermon was a powerful appeal to the Order to cultivate character as well as charity, or else after they had performed the latter they would still be a reproach through their wicked lives. and hence cause there good to be evil spoken of. “Charity is great, but character is greater" was the theme of the discourse, which was appreciatively heard by the large audience.

What an important lesson is conveyed to us in this gospel, unless Our Lord went, His apostles, His church, His children, who form the christian family. would not have derived the benefits which the con- summation of His sacrifice on Calvary brought us. It may appear strange that His apostles were grieved at His leaving them, but our Lord asserted that it was an advantage to them that He should go ; for, if I go not said He, the Paraclete would not come to you. So long as their relations partook of human ways, so long as human intercourse took place between them, so long were the fruits of His redemption impossible. If He had stayed among them, they would have remained blind tothe superiminence of the chris- tian state, they would have considered the great excellence of human gifts, and human thoughts, and would have forgot- ten the consummation of Calvary‘s sacraâ€" fice. By this he wiped out our sins, our frailties, our wickedness, I-Ic crushed for- ever the power of Satan, and buried in the sepulchre all earthly dross, which was part of our humanity. \Vhat are we to conclude from this fact? \Ve were all called to be sharers in His glory, therefore we must withdraw from all things sinful. cleanse our souls from every stain, and keep before our eves the thought of the Holy Spirit of God, and in order to be a partaker in the fruits of His resurrection, we must pass through death that we may bepurified from the dross of earthly in- firmities, and rise to a life of spiritual grace forever. Thus our body and our whole being when the day comes will rise gloriously over sin and triumph'ljover mortality. All this could not come to pass unless He took upon Himself all our infirmities and carried them down to the 1grave with Him. Let us strive for this §newness of life, the soul of which is the Holy Ghost, the spirit of God; for God is the true source of life. Through His death we enjoy His merits, we become sharers in His Divine nature, we breathe of the living spirit of God. “When the spirit of truth is come, He will teach iyou all truth." He will show the justice of God; thejudgment of God upon sinners. Let us prepare for the feast of Pentecost, this feast of the Holy Ghost, that we may have a share in the gifts of God. Let us by humble prayer, by an intelligent under- standing of our needs, andL by a proper spirit, ask of God to send His holy spirit upon us ; for withOut the spirit of God we can do nothing. We must correspond to the grace of God, and in order to receive this grace we must pray; not with lips only, and without meaning. We must pray with heart, and mind, and soul; not from habit as many do. Do we not all realize how much we are in need of grace? We must not forget the patience of God, but at the same time we must beg for mercy. We need so many things ; health of body and soul, necessities for ourselves and our friends. Let us beg that the spirit of God may banish all tendency to evil within us ; for our own worst enemies are those within. ourselves. In 'all our prayers let us well remember the great endâ€"to save our souls. We would con' sider it great presumption to be Godlike, were it not the command of God. Are we not expected to be His living members, sharing in His life, in His spiritiflLet us keep this end in view. Let us unite ourselves more intimately to Him, and yield our wills and our hearts _to the holy spirit of God. We are indebted to Mr. J. H. Brandon, of McDougall, Brandon Austin of Fenelon Falls, for the subjoined circular from the firms Buffalo, N.Y., agents, Messrs.

Her brother William and sister Annie of Chicago, and brother John of Alpena, Mich., were present at the funeral, which was conducted to Riverside cemetery on Wednesday. Mrs. Williamson was a member of the Methodist church, and the large attendance at her funeral, together with the beautiful contributed floral decorations, indicate the regard in which she was held by a wide circle:of friends. Much sincere sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and family in their irreparable loss.
