The weather was all that could be desired, the bright sun- shine making the day an ideal one for a fall fair. During the after- nOOn heavy clouds darkened the sky, and it looked for a few minutes as lit the fair would have to be cancel- lled, but such was not the case, as the clouds rolled quickly avay after a few drops of rain had fallen and the sun shone brightly again. ‘ ‘That the fair was the best in the history of the-society was the gene- ral opinion of the large.crowd pre- sent. Everything went well and there was not a hitch in the entire proceedings, which speaks well for the directors, officers and judges. PRQSPEROUS TOWNSHIP. Mariposa township is known as the banner township of the County of Victoria and it richly deserves the name, as an air of prosperity can be observed everywhere. The far- mers are prosperous and the land, buildings, etc., are‘ unequalled in any part of Canada. " LARGEST CROWD EVER. The show itself was the best ' in the history of the'society and the largest crowd that ever attended was present yesterday. The . gate receipts were $50 ahead of any previous year, and fully eighteen hundred people were present, includ- ing a number from Lindsay, Cress- well, Hartley, Valentia, Woodville, Little Britain and many other plac- es. Among those prmt from Lindsay were: Mr. and Mrs. Cghas. Lindsay, W. H. Simpson, Barb. Wil- liamson, B. L. McLean,â€" G. H. Wil- son, R. Rennie, H.'Brimmell, A. Forbert, D. Sinclair, Mr. Mitchell, Senator McHugh, Miss Minnie Mc- Hugh, 1). A. .McKenzie, Newton Smale, Robert Ross, W. Hughan, P. Conquergood, MI'. and Mrs. C. Begs. Mayor Begg Mrs. J. 11. Walsh, '1‘. A.

The band,. under the direction of BandmaSter Roenigk, furnished the, music throughout the afternoon and evening! They rendered a. high- class concert and their many catchy and popular airs were appreciated by the large crown present. LADY DRIVERS. . In this competition there were tic A. Bradly and F. Weldon, both of! Oakwood. The winner has_ twin . consistently for some time. He is a." - boys of Mariposa. There was‘three entries. “and last year’s winner, A1- bert Hutchison, of Oakwood, was again ‘succqssful, ' followed closely 'by coming runner and deserved the vic- tory, which was a popular one. The other boys also run well. Following the example of the Woodville fair the directors decided to do away with horse-racing, with the exception of a farmer’s race, which has been popular in Oakwood for years. Instead of open horse- raeing a large baseball tournament was held and the-experiment proved a success in every way. The crowd present watched the games and the Mariposa “ fans ” are just as en- thusiastic over the popular game as the people of Detroit and Pittsburg are at the present time. In fact the entire countryside has been base- ball crazy during the past summer. FARMERS' RACE. The farmers’ race as usual at- tracted the attention of the throng, and they thoroughly enjoyed the popular annual race. There were only two entries, J as. Thorndyke's Miss Jay., and Geo. Barry’s Lapi- dest Smiler, . of Haliburton county. Thorndyke's Miss Jay was too fast for Barry's Lapidest Smiler and won the race in~ three straight heats. The track was in good condition and the omcial time was not given out. The judges were Messrs. Senator Me- Hugh and Johnston Ellis. of Lind- Tlie boys' marathon mile race has been an annual affair for the past few years and much interest is manifested in the race among the say, and Mr. Brethour, of Toronto. The race was for a pum of $29.

Some sixty more entries were re- ceived this year than ever before and the display of articles shown in the ’hall were of the best variety. Every- thing was in tip-tOp order, having been neatly arranged by )‘PR. (Rev.) G. Munro, and Mrs. G. B. Rennie. There was a splendid exhibit of grain and roots of all kinds. Very )large potatoes, roots 4 and garden ivegetablee were very much in evi- dence, including a number of huge ,pumpkins. A number of high-class {hand-painted pictures came in for iconsiderable comment. beautifully arranged. A very large display of ladies' tancy work was also shown and it came in for con; aiderable favorable comment. The mm in the hall might be termed the " best ever." and too much praise cannot be . given the ladies in charge of the hall for the neat manner in which they arranged the many articles. A very large display a! dairy butter and garden {fun was also ahgwg. This competition was won by two well-known horsemen, Mr. J as Bush- nell, or Omemee, winning first prize and Mr. George Curtis, of Lindsay, second prize. The judges had some dimculty in deciding the winner. wood. Both ladies gave a clever! exhibition of driving, and after con- siderable time spent by the judges the first prize was awarded to Mrs.l Lindsay. who has won many prizes' during the past couple of years, in- cluding first prize at the Lindsay Central. Miss Degeer is also a cle- ver driver and was awarded second ped into the prisoner's box. Clerk Sootheran read the charge of murder against him, and in a. high-toned voice Hunter answered “ Not. Guil- ty.,’ CROWDED COURT. The courtroom was crowded from one o'clock when the court opened until the close. The grand jury as enumerated yesterday were all pre- sent .and, after receiving instructions of a general nature from His Lord- 3ship, they retired. In the course of ‘an hour the jury returned and Mr. ‘John Suggitt, the foreman, announc- ed the finding of a true bill. HUNTER AT EASE. Hunter did not appear to notice anyone present as he was led into the court room, handcuffed, by Con- Stable Minthorne. He waited non: chalantly until the iron cuffs were taken off his wrists and then step- munssas RmUIRBD. 'Ihe trial m adjourned at the re- quest of the counsel for the ddeace. Mr. E. F. 3.

The Hartley. boys were always ahead alter 'the first innings. In the fourth innings they batted out eight runs which won the game. Cresswell play- ed a good uphill game and several times looked as if they would tie the score but they could not get the ne- cessary hit.

Without further comment Mr. J usticq Bri-tton adjourned the trial., Mr. Blackstock submitted that out- ficimt time had been allowed to per- mit the defence to gather all the in- formation necessuy. He thought delay would be unnecessary. COMMENTS ON DEFENCE. His Lordship expressed the opinion that an adjournment would favor the defence and might be prejudical to the prosecution, but would prob- ably be in the interest of justice. Referring to the defence, based upon epileptic fits while the accused was at a tender age, would not be a defence that would exculpate the prisoner, uniess it could be shown that .theaccused was under the in- fluence at the time. It would have good in tight places, pulling self out of the hole in several W, John Wolch, D. Welch, John Huntar and other: who might bun noticed the epileptic Me which at- tacked Joe.
