VICTORIA ROAD HAS ' A SUCCESSFUL FAIR THE NORTHMEN MAKE AN EXCELLENT EXHIBIT AT THEIR PLACE OF ROYAL NAME The Association Getting Along Wellâ€" “1 New Improvements on the Grounds m â€"-A Fine Display of Demestic Arti- w cles and Live Stock W The annual fall fair of the North I, Victoria Agricultural Society was it 1held at Victoria Road on Tuesday 5‘ and Wednesday last. The progress- li] ive board of directors have had a busy time lately in completing all s' the details for this important event, Iâ€" and they merited the satisfactory is “wind-up." The grounds and genâ€" 5 eral signs of progress were a pleas- 5 ing surprise to the visitors from a distance. to say nothing of the pride created in the members of this imâ€" portant association. For some c years the directors have been painâ€" fi fully cognizant of the fact that they f were handicapped for space. They ( have talked it over year after year. but it was not until the new century dawned that relief was to come in answer to their peayers. To-day i they have enlarged grounds, well 5 fenced. and comfortable quarters for ‘ the secretary. directors and ticket- sellers. The speeding ring has been enlarged to a third of a mile. and will be all right next year. All this has required time and money on the part of the society, and much selfâ€" sacrilice on the part of the directors. It was only after prolonged struggâ€" ling that the financial arrangements were Completed: then come the purâ€" chase of the land. fencing. and the making of the track. The latter was not among the least of the dim- culties. for after the “ring" was laid out the track had to be graded and Z theycould not secure a grader nearer' than Mariposa. They are to be con- gratulated on the success attending their efforts. The grounds around the entrance were made bright and cheerful by . the presence of L‘urtis’ merry-gov round." which did a rushing busi- ness, refreshment stands. dancing pavillion. cane man and other points of interest. Ye-old-time wheelâ€"of- iortune man set. up his machine and did a, lucrative business inducing the boys to place their money on the black or red until the association got after him and "spiked" the wheel that was rolling for wealth. The CoboConk brass band, under the leadership of Mr. Fred Feilding. were present and were untiring in ,, n‘L:.. D’I.‘ I'Vyly l"""""‘ v, their efforts to enliven the day. This band has only been organized a little over a year and they are to be complimented on their fine appear- ance. Messrs Barnes and Sons made a neat exhibit of force and left pumps and reported a number of sales. Inside the Main Building A hurried trip through the main building was certainly an interestâ€"l ing one.

This year the fair was fully up to its usual standard of excellence, but was deli- ‘cent in specialties like the “monster squash” and vegetable curios in the collections that were a. feature at some former fairs. There was a cap- ital showingin the good old i‘yaller pumpkins? of our "boyhood days. Some nice melons and citrons were also very much in evidence.
