Car- riage stallions in harness brought outvDr. Vrootnan’s :pOpular sire Phil Sheridan and Mr. A. Kennedy’s Burnham Wood, and they caught the judges fancy in the order named. Ponies in harness was the next feature, and three rattling good ponies were shewn and were classed one, two, three by the judges as follows :- M”. ‘Boyd’s Charley Burgess, E. Garlick's black filly and Chas. Fairbairn’s grey. ' The showing in carriage teams was the best yet seen at this fair. In the class for horses oier 154.}; hurls, three good use- ful pairs were shown. Mr. Morgan Johns entered his good team of salid‘ blacks that caught .the j udge's fancy first. ‘ Mr. J. D. Hunter was second with his stylish pair of drivers by Lipidist Chief. Mr. Thus. F airbairn showed a good pair of three-year-olds that only need time to deve'op into a good useful team. They are in colors bay and chestnut and are sired by Forest Boy and Tom Rodgers respectively. In the class of 15% hands and under two teams W616 exhibited. John Warren showed his stylish bay team by Ph~l Sheridan and secured the cove'el prize, while Mr. 8'.

James Falls showed a nicplv typed, I»! snare, and There is a very noticeable improvement in the equine stocks shown at this fair in the last few years. In the heavy draught [class Mr. M. M. Boyd contributed two Erattling good cross-matched teams, a . Suffolk and a Percheron in each case. that carried off the honors. It was a notice- able fact that the Clydesdales were not represented in this class. Mr. Thomas Steel was the winner in the agricultural or general purpose contingent with his crossomatched team that has been so suc- cessful during the past few years. Mr. James Murdoch was a good second with a nicely mated pair of bays by Knight of St. Andrews. In the general purpose class Messrs. James Fallis, J. D. Hunter and John Burgess showed good brood mares with foals by side. In the yearoold contingent in the same class Wm. Thurston, James Falls, Thos. Robertson and Thou. Ingram showed good foals by the popular Clydes- dale sire Knight of St. Andrews, Mr. M. Boyd‘s coacher, the Falcon, was awarded a red ticket. Pub..th the grtheet improvement i. any deputmeut of the fair Was noticed in the poultry department. The increase in the number of entries was quite noticeable and the quality of the birds shown were fully equal to the general run of fall fairs. The display or dairy produce was also well to the front. and is probably the best ever made. The butter was choice, and one exhibit in the form of a pine- apple was highly creditable indeed. Two fine factory cheese were also boarded, and completed the disrlay. Eight entries of gcod home-made bread also added to the occasion, and while THE WATCHMAN fancied the first prize bread because the judges said so, we must admit; that it was all good enough for the ordinary mortal here below. The dismay of preserved fruits and jellies WAS juat. a little deficient in number of entries, but Was fully up no the stand- ard in appearance and quality. The ward display of cereals occupied the north-west sirie of the buildmg and w m ahead of less: seas :2. nae yet been made In this township. The large varieties of apples were fully up to any show in this district. There was also a nice display of crab apples, The horticultural display attracted a great deal of attention and included a large number of rare plants, many in full bloom. Then the cut. flowers, consisting principally of pink, crimson and white astors, were also most elaborate. _The astonishment of the first-time Visitor, however, generally reaches its climax when he starts out to inspect the vegetables and roots. It is here that Verulam shines; why it is so we leave the visitor to find out. The potatoes were numerous and choice in quality and size. The cabbages and cauliflowere were the best of a good year. Just think of cabbages weighing eighteen pounds and selling at five cents each. But size don’t always go. as was demonstrated by the action of the judges in placing the red ticket on a “little ’uu ” that would just about make a dinner for two. Some one was heard to remark “that the big fellows could not be solid." when he was informed that it was only the firm, solid kind that ever reached the 18-pouud notch. Judges, like doctors, differ in their ideas, Another record-breaker was found in the squash line, where a capital one Was shown by Mr. T. Calvert that tipped the beam at 136 pounds. It sur~ passed anything exhibited in the Midland district. Then the pumpkins were also a superior lot, but lacked anything of a sensational character. We take off our hat, so to speak, when we come to the turnips at Bobcaygeon. Verulam nearly always leads in the production of monster turnips, and this year they excel all pre vious efforts. The mangtlds, however, fall short, and are not so creditable. imaginable 1n plaix} and fa_ncy neeilework fhnf ;. “4.4.-..1â€" \VITH THE HORSES. v "‘ ,Q’S' 'w'w‘w Roots and vegetablesâ€"Variety of note} to -s, Ventress; Hebron do, Fells, Murphy; other kind, Falls, W Tiers; Sweden Falls, Seymour; Greyetlone: Falls.

In the run off an exciting race took place Ibetween Garlick' and GIVGDS around the ’ track. and when both ponies came to thew new band stand they bolted off the track 1 right into the crowd: knocking down a little girl, who had a very narrow escape from serious accident. The riders were also thrown but escaped injury. Lourie Boyd was the first to reach the winning post, but we question very much if the ‘ judges saw him in the general excitement.) WITH THE LIVE STOCK. The showingrin cattle was not: as good as we have seen at ’Kaygeon. There was, 'however, some fine animals in the differ- ‘ent breeds, whiie the herd competition ‘was quite keen. Mr. Thos. Robertson's fine herd of Polled Angus was ahead of 1those shown at any fair in the Midland idistrict, although just; ofl the grass.

The display of fine porkers was also very good in Yorkshire White, Berk shires and Tamworths. The principal exhibitors were Messrs. T. Fairbairn, T. Russell, J. Finley, S. Thurston and R. M. Thurston. The showing in Holstein; was away behind the usual standard for some reason. Mr. Jas. Martin was the only exhibitor and carried 0!? the honors. The old time Duthzms were also poorly represented, only a few pure-bred ani- mals being entered. The principal breed- ers were Messrs. W. Venlress, J. Bick, John Martin and W. Sievenson. The contributors to the class for grades was more numerous, and some very good animals were shown by Messrs J. D. Hunter, T. Russell, Thos. Robertson and Wm. Stevenson. The showing of sheep was certainly of the first order. and goes far to show the newly awakened interest in this line. Messrs. T. Russell. James Fa' Is and Thos. Fairbairn made a capital showing in the now popular Leicesters. In Shrups Mr. Thos. Robertson and M. Thurston were the principal exhibitors. Prize Lust. Draught Horsesâ€"Team, 1 and 2 M.

The same may be said of the entries, a: falling off in number being noticeable in every department except poultry, which was larger and better than ever. But, although the exhibits were want- ing in quantity, quality was of the A1 order in many sections, particularly in roots, vegetables, grain and dairy products. The energetic officials, Mr. ].W. J unkin, secretary, and Dr. Mason, president, were kept on the jump all day assisting the exhibitors and attending to the hundred and one little things that came their Way.

There was quite a large showing of poultry and nearly all the breeds were represented. The principal orizs winners were Messrs. W. H. Brown, Chas. Bowins, Rev. W. H. 000k and B. Burchall. Several fine porkers were beaked m the entries for swine, including Yorkshire White Berkshires and a redg Tamworth. The principal exhibitors were Messrs B Burchall, Wm. Bain, Watson and Chas. Bowms. Perhaps in live stuck there was no feature equal to that of sheep. The pens were fairly well filled with good animals of the different breeds. Mr. Wm. Shutt‘e- worth contributed fifteen head of fine Leicesters. Mr. Chas. Bowins showed two pens of first-class sheep. A pen of Cotswolds and another cf the now popular Shropshire Downs. Mr. Wm. Bain also showed a pair of Shropshires. Mr. Hugh Reid contributed Cotswolds and Leices- ters. Mr. B. Birchall also made a. good showing in the fine wool variety. Mr. Watson of Kinmount showed a good Leicester ram. The fair was very weak in cattle this! year owing to the men from the south be-S ing absent. The principal breeders ex- i hibiting were Meseia. Wm. Bain,B B.i Birchell and Rev. W. H. Cook. i In single drivers over 15% hands the judges disagreed for a time as to just where the honcrs should be placed, but eventually a big bay owned by Mr. Craig secured the'place. Mr. A. Ryckman came second with a rattling good five-year-old mare by Kentucky that should develop into a useful family driver. Mr. J. H. Reekie was just outside the money with a substantial hay that is a roadster all the time, but hardly a show horse. In the small class under 15% Mr. A. B. H. Carl was first with a nice little hay mare by Lapidist Chief, while Mr. Ed. Jackson. the popular boniface, was second with a bay gelding of unknown breeding. In carriage teams Mr. Gil Scott of Kin- mount held the ribbons over a very stylish pair of Black Valentines, three and four years old respectively. that won the red ticket. They were as well match- ed in color and formation as we have seen this season. Mr. Chas. Bowing was a really good second with a pair of bays that could read along at a. merry clip and are big enough to do almost any kind of work. They had one defect, however. that came against them with the judges, in that their feet had been cut up while working in the woods and had not yet grown out. Inside the main building was a fine ar- rangement of ladies’ work, and the many articles of household importance attracted the attention of all the ladies present and in many cases puzzled the judges how and where to place the honors. The dis- play of roots and vegetables was very good indeed, and while not so numerous or sensational as we find at some local fairs. were a good even lot all through. The fruit exhibit was very fair. while among the dairy produce exhibits were found several choice samples of rich golden butter that would tickle the fancy of a Klondike miner. . A stroll among the horsemen is always a feature for all those who attend these local fairs, and while there was to be found a number of choice equities, there was also a manifest lack of attention with many of the owners who had well-bred stock that was in anything but show-fair fittal. In heavy drafts Mr. B. Burchall was the only exhibitor and won the red ticket on a fine team of workers. In brood mares and foals in the same class he was first and second witha well-match- ed pair of registered mares, and also first and second on a fine pair of Erskine Pride foals, and first on 3 yearâ€"old by the same sire. Three very good teams came before the judges in the general purpose class, and it was a difficult task to separate them. Mr. Levi Carl showed a. good pair of Scottish Lads. Mr. Wm. Shutteworth also showed a. good, useful pair, as did Mr. H. Read. Mr. Robt. Watson was first in brdod mates in this class. and also first with an Auchtertool foal. Mr. B. Burchall showed a rattling good foal in this class but only won the blue ticket, the judges feeling that he should have shown in the draft class. ‘ ,,,,--V__ 5”..." v-“--g‘v uuy uu o The so-called saddlers created serge little excitement from the ffiCC that they had a somewhat interesting galloping race around the greensward. Mr. H. Read wan the successful winner with a very good harness mare that should hardly be spoiled in the effort to convert her into a saddler. Mr. A. H. Carl was second with a little bay that was more of the “bang- tail” order of equines and could center to the delight of her jockey. on Monday of last week. The weather ‘ was all that could be desired, in fact some people remarked that it was too goodâ€"as the farmers would not leave their work to take in the fair. The fair was below the eeneral average owing to the fact that. the Rosedale bridge was down and many of' the leading exhibitors from Fenelon were} unrepresented. The steamer Greyhound‘ brought in an excursion party of about forty from Lindsay, which added some- what to the gate receipts, if not to the. importance of the fair. The directors} and the obliging secretary were very well l satisfied with the limited success attend-i ing their efforts in view of the circum- stances surrounding them. The greatest showmg of “mm“ was iii ‘he “triage Class' hiuwever,‘ and several 90‘! animals, were puraded on the green. there were only two colts shown in the two-year-olds, Mr, Wm. Cook secured the honors with a well groomed biack filly by Phil. Rysdyke. Chas. Bowing was a little behind in responding to the call. but was an easy Second prize Winner with a. smooth going_0range Boy filly. In].
