TEE BACON HOG The pork industry has led the farmer of to-day to go more and more extensively into hog raising and the natural conse- quence is that each one is striving in his own way to make the particular breed that he fancies demonstrate that it is the only “bacon hog.” The old-time “Berks” still hold their own and whether it be because they nick well with nearly any other variety, or because they are money makers alone, the fact remains that they predominate at our fairs. Nathan Day at Lakeview farm, Fenelon, showed two pens ...... Robert Eagleson of Ops, is not only a breeder of Durham cattle, but he is an admirer of the black Berks, and breeds the kind that please the judges ..... Geo. A. Mark has achieved quite a reputation as a breeder of prize-winning “Berks". . . . Mr. Thos. Russel of Verulam, has for some years been an extensive breeder in this class, and judging from the appear- ance of his stock he must be a successful one. The Improved Yorkshires are more in the bacon line than the former class and are coming to the front. Mr. W. P. King of Oakwood, is among the successful breeders in this class and his stock is all high class ...... Nathan Dav of Fenelon, exhibited three pens in this class, all rattling good ones ..... Thus. Russell of Verulam captured two seconds With the two entrys made in this class. ' The McEachern Bros. of Argyie, are warm adherents to the Chester White strain and their exhibit. is the best we have ever seen. They were very success- ful in the prize ring ...... John Cullis of Fenelon was also a prominent exhibitor in this class. The Tamworth is the favorite breed with Wm. Thorndike of Oakwood, after trving them all. He was the pioneer breeder of this class and his showing was highly creditable. POULTRY All the leading varieties of poultry were represented at this fair. The show- ing in turkeys, geese and ducks was high class. There was a great aggregation of equines in the various classes. The heavy draught 3 class was hardly up to the standard of r] former years. Why this should be so is hard to understand, but there was a total absence of teams and a marked falling off 3 in aged animals. Some really good young c animals were exhibited. W. F. Broad. the I local veterinary, had the honors at his I mercy with the imported sire Knight of t St. Andrew’s, and the Canadian bred 3 Granite Lad. Jas. Goslin showed a rather t promising Clydesdale colt by The Thistle t out of an imported darn. Thos. Deyell, W- c G. Reid and Wm. Thorndike were among 1 the most successful breeders in this class. S That wonderful creation the general pur- pose horse was present in great force and demonstrated what mixed breeding really means. Some were really high class, stylish looking animals, while others de- noted their plebian origin. In blood lines as a class they combine everything good and bad in the horse world. They embrace everything from the Clydesdale to the so- ; ycalled Arabian, or French sire, to say ‘ lnothing of the infusions of thoroughbred and trotting blood. No man knows what they are, and an army of experts would fail to reproduce them in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred. Why do the direc- I tors of our fairs continue to hang up money . prizes for this class? Certainly they are not aiming to stimulate the breeding inter- ‘ ests by so doing. They should aim at line breeding, and every animal should be bred for a distinct purpose. I: might be all right to set aside a small sum of money for say “teams in any other breed" after the regular classes were provided for, but to hang up money to induce farmers and breeders to compete in raising mongrels is not in the best interests of good breeding. At the Lindsay Central we are pleased to say that this class was not one whit worse than that of any other fair of similar pro- portions. In fact some nice teams were exhibited, for instance a rattling pair of trappy going browns by Mr. James Bushel of Mount Boreb. This pair had consider-1 ; able Clyde blood but were too small for ' that class. Another great pair of well- matched stylish, tip-headed blacks, wer . shown by Fred Anderson of Monaghan, and attracted a great deal of attention. They were a combination of thoroughbred ; French and Clydesdale blood. Other 5 breeders in this class were Messrs. James Kennedy, Hamill Bros. Thos. Deyell, T. f Calvert, Wm. Thorndike, W. P. King and v Robt. Logle. Dun u v... was a good second, and had admirers. . . .Mr. Thos. Carpent Lia. showed a. rattling clever 10 year old chestnut colt by Tariff ‘ " Lâ€"un-wl Th1 IN THE HORSE RING. came second with a free stepping pair of] bays. Wm. Stewart showed a smooth pair‘ of blacks by Morocco, and 'lhos. Deyell a pair of bays ...... In the class under 15} hands W. W. Logan added another red ticket to his long list of. victories with his cross matched bay and brown pair. Geo. Brown of Millbrook kept him guessing all the way with a chestnut team sired by the thoroughbred Manitoba, and just alittle more speed on his part would no doubt have reversed the order of things. Mr. Roddy of Fenelon had a Smooth going pair in a handsome bay and chestnut that had many admirers. Rich. Wilson of Fleetwood showed a nice pair of blacks of the poney type ...... In single drivers over 15!; hands there was a creditable showing of stylish drivers. J os. Brown of Reaboro came first with the chestnut mare Meta by Red Wilkes; R. Thorn secured second place with a nicely topped bay by Carver, and Jas. Goslin third with a bay driver. 1. Laidley of Omemee showed the speedv roadster Minnie L by Canadian Star, that was greatly admired. D. Heaslip of Janet- ville a rattling good three-year-old by the same site. Thos. Spratt showed a clever his: horse by Lapidist Chief. Thos. Fair- bairn showed a speedy roan mare bv same sire. John Arnold an up-headed In} by Tariff W. It is an old saying that “kissing goes by favor", and while no one questions bhe integrity of the honorable gentleman who officiated as judge in this class still there was a diversity of opinion as to his allotment of the tickets ...... Single drivers 15% hands and under was well represented. Jas. Bushell’s bav pacer was first with W. D. Brethour‘s handsome driver in second place. T. Calvert’s bay was a good third. Mr. Thornd ike’s bro wn driver and Hughan’s black were just outside the monev ...... The saddle class was easy for W. J. Wil- liamson's chestnut son of Glendale, and Wm. Thorndike's bay in second place. At the call for lady drivers behind teams, three of the fair sex drew the leathers across six prancing steeds and swung around the ring. They were Mrs. Bushel of Mt. Horeb. Mrs. Fairbairn of Bobcay- geon and Miss Graham of Ops. They drove beautifully, but Miss Graham excelled and was awarded first prize. In the competi- tion between lady drivers of single horses Miss Graham was equally fortunate. SPEEDING IN THE RING The speeding events were highly inter- esting The weather was fine and the track fast and as a natural consequence all records had to go. The onlookers Were somewhat wearied by tedious scoring in some of the events and accidents to harness or bikes in nearly every race. But the qualities of the racing was first-class and everybody was happy. Mr. Sinclair of Cannington, officiated as starter and gave the boys a good send-01f every time The first event was the GREEN R ACE. Six horses responded to the hell with Mulligan’s Southern at the poll. Then came Robt. Wallace, Natrass’ Lewellen, Laidley's Minnie L., McMahon’s White ‘Blaze and Clancy's Lapidlst Chief. At the word go Robt. Wallace took the pole iand maintained the lead all the way, 'but swerving to the left at the head of the stretch got the worst of a close decision and was set back to third place, and Lapidist got the heat. In the second heat Lapidist had to give way to White Blaze, who was out footed by Robt. Wallace in the last turn, and came home a winner by two lengths amidst a storm of applause. In the third Bobt. Wallace got the worst of a bad start and lost the pole by \Vhite Blaze at the first turn who was able to keep her position from wire to wire after a great race with Wallace. The ‘ fourth heat was another hot numbers White Blaze and Robt Wallace fighting it ‘ out all the way. The Lapidst Chief win- ning by half-a-length in a driving finish. The fifth heat resulted in a surprise party when ina general mix up the bay mare Lewellen stepped out and won the heat from Rcbt. Wallace right at the wire. Here were five heats and four winners of beats and it was decided to hold the event ‘ over until Saturday. The sixth heat was captured by Whi'e Blaze with \Vallace a hot second.

This was the hottest and fastest race ever seen on the park track and every heat was below ail previous records. Four horses responded to the bell in Far- ioso, Spunk, Richard A and Fleetwings. The first heat was the record breaker from the start, Spunk went away like a run- naway horse and takinz the pole lead to the second last turn, when he broke and Furioso passing him won out the first, heat. Richard A. was second but was only given third place on account; of vâ€".J C7 breaks ..... Richard A. was out for blood in the second heat and going away fast took the 0010 and just when everybody thought it was all but won his harness broke and he was practically out of it.
