The Watchman-Wards! TWO INTERESTING SPEEDING EVENTS -â€"GOOD STOCK IN EVERY CLASSâ€"A SUPERIOR lelDE EXHIBIT. The ennml fall show of the F enelon Agricultural Soclety took place on Wed- nesday and Thursday last. The unfavor- able weather on the first day sent a cold chili down the Spinal columns of the direc- terate. but old Sol came to their rescue FENELON TOWNSHIP FAIR on Thursday and did the right thing by them. The result was s grstifying Success instead of 3 failure. ' The live-stock men of F enelon and surrounding townships were not to be frightened away and early Thursday morning their stock commenced to arrive, and the directors felt happy. A visit to the grounds a few hours lster found everything in full swingâ€"even to the cane man, who done quite a thriving business. An inspection of the MAIN BUILDING was highly satisfactory. The good ladies of the district had excelled themselves, and the greatest array of “feminine ore- ations” that ever graced the walls and lines of this building were presented for inspection. The display of domestic manufactures was fully up to the average. A full line of tame and wild fruits, pickles,,_ etc.. put up in matchless style, occupied considerable space on the long centre table. Numerous samples of Canadian apples made the small boy’s fingers just ache to get at them. The display of vege- tables and garden truck was good and while the big squash of last year was not in evidence. some really nice exhibits were made by Mr. Wilbert Hopkins of \‘erulam. Field roots were numerous and of good quality, while the exhibit of grains and seeds was in keeping with the 200d harvest. Outside the main building a capital display of agricultural implements was made which included a full range of the Peter Hamilton Manufacturing Co’s goods. One of the features that attracted a great deal of attention was a “Melotte” hand separator exhibited by Mr. Geo.‘ McGee. the local hardware man. together: with a header churn and dairy pails. This is the first separator ever shown at this fair and goes far to show the increasing demands of our great dairy interests. If our farmers who persistently cling to the old, but time honored practice of home dairying. could be brought to realize that by not using a separator they were losing 20 per cent. of the butter-fat from their milk. we would find in a few years that each and every farm dairy would be fur- nished with hand-separators or the mik would be sent to a skimming station or creamery. There was a goodly showing of horses in she dlfierent classes. In aged stallion: Mr. Ben j. Burchell captured the red ticket with the five-year-old Lord Stanley. The same exhibitor was first with a pair of blacx mares, registered, in teams, and fires and second on a pal: of Erskine Pride’e. two-year-olde, and first on a year- ling by nhe came sire. Mr. Wm. Isaac showed a big yearling in this class. In the brood mare conungeut Mr. Nathan Day showed a large smooth Pencheron with North Star fuel by side. Wm. Isaac’s secured the coveced ticket with a large grey mare and Thistle foal. Mr. R Lamb showed a good chestnut mare and Pride of Scocland teal by side.

Smither‘am a brown mare and foal . . . .There was a rattling good lot of two‘ yeapolde in this class, and while the prize winners were! all good still it was hard to understand just how the judges arrived at their findings. The first prize winner was one of a pair of rangy-bay colts, bred by Mr. James Southam of Bury’s Green, and sired by Mr. Symons' Pride of Scott land by Ivanhoe. This pair were well mated in size, color and conformation, and while we admit that the first prize- winner was a trifle finer and had more quality, still we cannot understand how its mate could be thrown out and the tseoond prize awarded to an animal of an altogether different make-up, as was done. if the first prize winner was the bean ideal of a “general purpose” horse, accord- ing to their judgment, then we maintain that its mate should have some pretty close to being the winner of second prize, because it was the nearest to it in appear- ‘ ance. Mr. Alex. Jamieson’s blocky colt by The Thistle was awarded second prize however, and we have not the least hesi- tation in saying that many judges would have placed it first, for it is a high-class colt and Mr. Jamleson has refused $130 for it. Stlll, what the Watchman-VVarder aims at is to have this so-oalled “general purpose class” clearly defined so that it will not be simply a question of the fancy of a certain judge or body of judges. It there is anything to be learned at our agricultural fairs for the benefit of the great breeding interests of this country it must be more clearly set forth than is the rule at present under the wide-spread opinion of “general purpose” class. Mr. John Moore of Fenelon showed a credit- able two-year-old by The Thistle. Mr. B. ‘ Burchell showed a Clyde-bred colt by Auchtertool in this same class. In the carriage and roadster class there was a creditable showing, in fact in some respects the best that has ever been seen at this fair. No less than funr entries were made in the entire class. They were Mr. John Simpson’s Forest Boy by Mambrino Forest; John Aldous, Star- light by ; J ohu Ellie’ Baron Roth- chllds, and John Aldous’ new importa- tion Anteam by Antevola. when the judges came to this class Baron Rothchild was fighting for the honors in However - the “green race” and Mr. Aldous was endeavoring to pilot the chestnut mare . Gertrude to glory in the same event. Hence only the first two came before them and the honors were awarded as follows: Forest Boy let, Starlight 2nd. Carriage horses over 155â€" hands high Jas. Golin’s bay gelding by Shenoah was red ticket winner with Mr. T. B. Moynes’ black gelding by Master King in second place ...... For the 15% and under there was a hot contest and it took the judges; some time to decide. Jas. Stevens who showed a fine Physician filly cut of a Lapidist Chief dam won the coveted honors although a protest was entered against showing in a two-wheeled cart.) Walter Townsend showed his handsome hay mare by Lapidist Chief, and Wm. Isaacs a bay mare by the same sire. John Brown of Cameron, showed a sub ‘etantial bay mare by Forest Boy. . . .In the brood mare and foal class some well- bred stock was shown. Wm. Isaac came first with a chestnut mare, Keswick tcal two months old; Geo. Woollocott second with a chestnut mare and Brazillian foal; Thoe. Russell showed a bay mare and Starlight foal, and Wm. Smitheram a black mare and Baron Rothchild foal ...... In the class for two-year-olds S Bagshaw captured the honors with a clean limbed crushed-strawberry colt by Wild Brezillian; Wm. Issac was second with a free~stepping chestnut by Kes- wick; Wm. Smitheram’s black by Glen- dale was just outside the money ...... Only two entries were made in year-olds. 2 namely: Wm. Smitheram, a clean-limbed l filly by Glendale, and John Moore a steel 1 grey by the Coacher Junius ...... Mni Manly Maybee was an easy winner in the saddle class with his handsome chestnut geldlng sired by Glendale. THE SHORT HORN DURHAMS The exhibit of cattle was confined to Short Horn Durhams and Durham grades, and a number of fine animals were exhibited. John Cullis and Son made , an extensive entry in this class showing i a number of pure-breu Durhams headed ’ by the famous bull, Scotsman. Alex ’ Jamieeon brought his fine herd of short horns and grades to the fare and secured his full compliment of prizes. B. Bur chall was another extensive exhibitor, . showing the the pure-bred bull, Duke of Argyle, four cows, 2 two-year-old heifers, a yearling heifer and three bull calves in the thoroughbred mine, and entries in all grade classes. A. E. Minthorn show- ed a number of high-bred young stock that pleased every breeder on the ground. Wm. Jordan showed a grand bull in the two-year-old diviston. Isaac H. Moynes showed the sixteen-months-old red bull, Highlander, that was fax orab!y commend- “pun. The only entry in cattle outside of the above class was a fine Devon milch WW, made by Mr. John Byers. THE SHEEP In the money-makang Shroyshirn Dov‘me. Mr. And__rew McKay wee the the only exhibitor, showing two pens and capturing all the prizes. , The Sonthdowns, were very much in evidence. Nsylor Son showed .s nice flock of twelve head and secured ainll share of the good things. VB. Burohdll also contributed seven fine sheep in thig class. In‘ Cotswolds, Mr. Sam Bagahaw con- tributed two pans of superior. sheep. I. H. Moynes showed a rattling good pair of Shearllng “Cots.” The Leisesters are after all. the people’s sheep as evidenced by the number of in. divulual exhibitors at all our fairs. Cullis Son showed two pens of high class Leicesters. R. Lamb Son show- _ed a pen of choice stock. Thos. H. Hopkins was represented by two pairs of the right stamp and Thos. Russell of Bobcaygeon with two fine rams. SWINE There was a good showing of well-bred :swine at this fair. Nathan Day of Lake- lview farm is quite a breeder in this line and showed a number of pure-bred ‘ Yorke and Berks. Thos. Movnes con. tributed a Berkshire sow two years old, and a year old Duroc Jersey boar. 'Jo’hn Lullis Son showed no less than three pens of the Improved Yorkshire sirain. Thos. Russel showed three Yorkshires, a Berkshire boar and a fine sow in the “any class.” John Byers showed an improved Yorkshire bear and three sows and a yearling boar of same breed, also a year old Berkshire boar. John Moore of Fenelon contributed a fine pair of Berks in this class. POULTRY The exhibit of poultry lnoluded all the leading varieties. and was the best ever seen as this fair. Mr. thtletou in addit- ion to poultry showed a number of nice whlte fan-tell pigeons the!) were greatly admired. Among the principal exh.hitore were Messrs. Fred Metcalf, Geo. Little- SOLS. While the speeding in the ring was con- fined to local flyers still considerable interest was manifested therein. The open trot or pace was a straight heat event for Gordon's Letto. with Aldous’ Lucille a good second. Many were dis~ appointed at the poor finish of Bob L. who was looked upon by many see proba- ble winner. He was never dangerous, lbwever.

She Will recover. Permanent Gare of cancer. Some twelve years ago Mrs. Elizabeth Gilhula, wife of the postmaster of Bax- ton, Ont.. was taken ill with an obscure stomach trouble which her physiâ€" cians pronounced ‘, cancer of the stom- ' ach and informed her that her lease of lite would be short. ”33- GILHULA. On the advice of friends she commenced taking Burdock Blood Bitters. The results that followed were little short of marvellous. Her strength and vigor returned and in a. short time she was completely cured. Mrs. Gilhula is to-da in the full enjoyment of good health, an in all these years there has not been the slightest return of the trouble. Here is the Idler Mrs. Gillzula wrote a! thef‘tg'qze of {zer cure : “ Abou't four years ago I was.,taken sick with stomach trouble and consulted several of theleading physicians here, all of whom pronounced the disease to be cancer of the stomach of an incurable nature, and told me that it was hardly to be expected that I could live long. Afterward the two doctors who_were attending me gave rue up‘to die. " By the adviccvof $0310 of thy-friends, who knew of the virtues of Burdock Blood Bitters, I was induced to try it, and I am now happy to say that after using part 0! the first bottle I felt so much better I was able to get up. I am thankful to state that I am completely cured of the disease by the use of B.B.B., although it had baffled the doctors for a long time. I am firmly con- vinced that Burdock Blood Bitters saved my life.“ Here 23 the lette? receivedfmm Aer a short time: ago: “1 3m still in good health. I thank Burdock Blood Bitters for saving my life twelveycars ago, and lughly recommend it to other sufferers from stomach troubles of any kind." ELIZABETH GILUL'LA. J. Pearce, A.
