The grain and root exhi- bit was good in Quality and relative- 1y large, but scarcely what this coun- ty might well have made .in size. The same might be said of the dairy products and canned fruits. The mercantile exhibits are a growing feature of the fair. Local merch- ants, and agents and outside con- cerns that make articles that are for general use had more space in the main building than ever before. But the fair is the ring, and the rintgr is the fair. It is when the specialty artists begin their work and the horses (lash around the track. that the cheering thousands man the grandstand and the fair throws its potent spell upon the peeple.

' The specialties this year were fair- ly good. They included some very remarkable feats of strength. The strongâ€"«box trick was mystifying in so far as it was not so palpablv imâ€" possible, as to be suggestive of fake. The musical tunes were excellent and highly appreciated. The' little to- medy act caught the crowd in so far as the high wind allowed the drift of the piece to he caught. A single feature marred the specialties. That was the acrobatic work of the child. There is something patheticmly reâ€"i f tender: pellant in the contortlon 0 years. This indignity to “childhood -â€"almost mere infancyâ€"was con- demned in these columns last year. ;It is to be hoped that the manage- ment will not permit it again, and if it does that the performance will be forbidden by the police.

This oldctime breed ably holds :its own against all competitors, and {the improvement is highly creditable. ‘Mr. James Rennie of Blackwater ex- hibited 13 head, including two or three heads that might well he class» ed as pure-breds. In this lot were prize-winners or gdescendants from the {at stock herd prize-win- ners at the International Live Stock Show at Chicago in 1902, and also winners of the Champion Cup at the Guelph Fat Stock Show in the same year. At the London fair this year this herd won the sweepstakes and many other prizes. Mr. Rennie plea- santly explained that he was prepar- ing five of this lot for the Internaâ€" tional Fair at Chicago and the Guelph Fat Stock Show this winter, and that the same animals will be among the Canadian representatives at the World’s Fair at St. Louis next year. May good luck follow his enterprise. In speaking of the improvement in cattle he said : “The day has gone for rough cattle which .put on fat. in chunks that you could hardly put your arm around. They must be smooth and even through- out.” Messrs. McDougnll, Brandon Austin 04' Fenelon Falls showed 14 entries, including the leading sire Crimson Laddie. They' won first on the honor list for best herd, lst on aged bull, lst and 2nd on aged cows, lst and 3rd on two-year-old. heim, 3rd on yearâ€"old heifer and second on hull calf. Messrs. Cullis . McLean of Fenclon are extensive breeders in this line and exhibited thirteen head. They merited the success awarded them as their stock was more in breeder’s form than flesh. They secured sec- ond prize for best herd, first on year- old bull, and first on year-old on two-year-old heifer, second on yearling heifer and second and third on heifer calves. , Mr. Graham of Ops showed 25 head. and captured first, on good year: old bull, and find first on year-old heifer, a pretty good showing in such hot company. Mr. D. Sinclair of Cambray is a new exhibitor in this line and will be‘he-ard. from in the future. He exâ€" hibited four really good animals in therdin'enent classes. Mr. Jas. Found showed a. grand male in Washburn Chief, eleven months old, but not in high form. Mr. Robert Eagleson of West Ops is a. noted breeder of grades. His herd is headed by Banner Boy. He showed two herds and secured first and third. honors as well as many other prizes for the ten head exhibit- ed. ‘ ‘VA-‘J man mo]! Cu. The Polled Angus breed was well represented by fifteen head from the wellâ€"known herd of Messrs. Willi-am Stewart 6’: Son of Willow Grove Farm, Lucasville. This herd was in great show form and included the prize-winnvrs at all the big fairs. They made a clean sweep from herd to spring 9311‘. In the milking strains there was a magnificent showing. Mwsrs. Wm. Stewart Sons of Menie, made 13 entries in Ayrshires, including win- n'ers at all the great fairs. This bond was in fine show form and won a number of prizes, including that for herd. ‘ Mr. H. C.

In the classes for I88 under 15'} hands, Dr. Archer of Port Perry was first with a clever pair of roadsters, Dr. Broad securing second with a nice pair of iron greys, three years old by Prince 0r- lofl'. In the class over 15} hands Mr. Woodley of Tyrone was first with a fine pair of blacks, and Mr. J. H. Waldron second with a large pair of matched chestnuts; Wm. Stewart of Ops secured the place money with a big pair of bays. Mr. L. F. Stap- les of Cavan was just outside the money with a nice pair of browns sired by Ludwig.. In single drivers over 15} hands there was a large list of entries. but only five comps» titors faced the judges. Dr. Arch- er of Port Perry had a winning sneak on and captured the place with a rug chestnut mare sired by Sykes-man. Mr. Thos. Calvert of Reaboro was second with a trappy- going brown year-old. Mr. Joseph Brown of the same place was thin! with a really handsome bay lilly two years old, sired by Keswick, which will be heard from next fair time. Mr. 'I‘hos. Bowes showed his big bay gelding by Earl Stanton. that met its first defeat in the show-ring. Mr. James Gilchrist of Eldon also showed a promising bay gelding by Phil Rysdyk. The last two won in Woodville in really a larger class, which show how dili‘erent judges esti- mate the greatness ol‘- equines. In she class for 15; and under only eight contestants appeared, the. hon- ors deservedly gomg to Mr. Thomas McKiver's rangy gelding by Kes- wick. Mr. J as.

Mr. John Paul showed a good Keswick. but was outside the money, Mr. W. B. Moore showed a clever black by old Mambrino Chief, Mr. John Brock shOWed a rapid- moving little mare that only lacks size. Mr. C. Hughan showed his brown driver by Manager, and Mr. B. McIllhargey a big bay gelding by .Tom Rodgers. ‘ In the three-year-o‘ld. class Mr. C. ‘ L. Powers showed a great colt hwy Keswick, possessing both style and speed, which proved an eaSy winner. Mr. J. J. Kelly of Verulam was sec- ond with a nicely-turned black by Earl Stanton: Mr. S. A.
