Lindsay Central a Great Succes l The Greatest Attendance on Recor 5.15m Army of Exhlbits in all Branches of Agriculture _â€".â€"â€" (From Thursday's Evening Post) Everything is in readiness for the opening to the public of the Lindsay central fair, and if the weather in vogue Thursday continues for next all records in point. of at»- tendanceandsuccesswillbeleftbe- hind.- This is the opinion of the directors. and certainly all indica- cations point to it being the view to take of the situation. The directors are in a decidedly optimis- tic mood, as they view the we? 9110 entries are coming in, and see other signs that indicate a grand success. A Post reporter, on visiting the grounds this morning. found a busy scene. Directors and exhibitors swarmed over the grounds, tents were springing up here and there and everywhere. Midway attractions were hanging out their lurid signs, and local firms were arranging their attractive exhibits. 0n the track a number of fast horses were being worked out in pre- paration for the big races on Fri- day and Saturday. It was a spec- tacle that must have rejoiced the hearts of the directors, as the busy scene indicated the interest in the event. Every eight minutes a farm- er or two arrived with their live stock exhibits, while their wives had a contribution for the fancy work or other departments. ’ With the many white tents scat- tered over the grounds and gay ad- vertising designs lavishly used in all directions, the fair grounds have put on a very gala'appearance, and when the crowds arrive Friday they will be greeted with a spectacle that .thcy will not soon forget. This is excellent exhibition weather. Just right in the matter of temper- atureâ€"a little dry and dusty, perâ€" haps, but the fair people like dry weather, and in the matter of at- .tending the exhibition grounds, the ,,generel public does also. Of course, this being the first day, "the public are not in hand in large numbers, the majority of those on the grounds being officials and ex- hibitors. It is repeating an oft expressed statement and transparently obvious fact to say that Secretary Keith is a busy man and is kept hustling at- tending to the duties in connection with this important omce. President Ellis was also a busy of- ficial. and enthusiastic over the pros- pects of the fair. “We have one thousand more en- tries than any previous year,” he remarked to The Post, "and if all good people will only pray for fine weather until Saturday, our fair will be a grand one.” The main building, cattle pens, poultry building and other depart- ments rapidly filled up this morning with exhibits, and it was late in the afternoon before they were all placed in position. The entries in the different depart- ments are away ahead of any prev- ious year, both as regards quality and quantity. There is an unusually large number of new exhibitors with a long list of entries. In the poultry department, for in- :stance. there are over 700 entries booked. In the live stock exhibit there pro- mises to be a magnificent display in thoroughbreds, hackneys, general pur- pose, agricultural, Percherons and heavy draughts. In cattle the entries are large. Among those on the ground are Dur- hams, Galloways, Holsteins, grade, Jersey and Ayrshires, Polled Angusl and Herefords. The exhibits, of course, are not all in this class. Sheep promises to be a splendid display, and although the pens are not all filled at the hour of going to press, still the number on hand is proof that this department will be ahead of other years. and will inâ€" clude exhibits in all the different grades. The swine are arriving in large numbers, and there are some enor- mous porkers on the grounds. There promises to be a record display this section. As stated above, there is a pheno- menal diaplay in the poultry sec- tion. The birds are slow in arriving, but ample accommodation is provid- ed in the commodious and upâ€"toâ€"date building set apart for the feathered tribe. This department is growing in importance every year. Agricultural products are pouring into the main building, and include «everything in grain, seeds and roots. Prominent among the latter are moons of big pumpkins, turnips, etc., .an indispensable exhibit at any fair. The ladies are responding nobly in the exhibits of dairy products and butter, cheese, honey. maple syrup. .‘a very speedy animal. This is 1nErush. It was thought they would be what may be expected in this line. The local manufacturers and agents of farm implements have their dis- plays on the grounds and include ev- erything from a reaper to a churn. beautiful and There promises to be fine large displays in ladies' work, and leather large crowds to the The display in miscellaneous lines, according to the‘ secretary, is fully as large, if not larger, than other years. A strong feature in connection with air is the large number ifferent speeding events. Besides the strong local fav- orites. there is a large list compris- ing some of the fast horses in the province. Among them in Walter 31.. e horse that was protested by inter- he Peterboro fair, really Little Hector. ever, was forthcoming that the state- ment was untrue, and the horse's winnings were promptly paid over. The visitors to the fair to-day were loud in their praises of the new din- ing hall secured by the society. It is large. roomy and well-lighted, and up-to-date in every particular. The ladies of Queen-st. Methodist church are providing meals this week. The space set aside for the amuse- ment featuresâ€"the midwayâ€"afiords ample room for this necessary ad- junct in connection with a fall fair. The local merchants and manufac- turers are showing their loyalty to the exhibition by making large exhiâ€" bits. Among those who were arrang- ing their displays were Dundas Flavelles, Lang Maher, Gough Bros., Boxall Matthie, Horn Bros., Sylvester Mfg. Co., and D. Sinclair. Others were getting their exhibit space in order, and a general reference will be made to the dis- plays later on. Mr. T. Barrie, furrier, of Peter- boro, will also be an exhibitor. At 1 o'clock the exhibition grounds were thrown open to the public, and notwithstanding the fact that this was merely the opening day for re- ceiving exhibits, hundreds of visitors thronged the grounds. At 2.30 p.m. the judging in the hall commenced, and the judges are hav- ing a busy time of it, owing to the large number of excellent exhibits in the different classes. This evening the programme will l he as follows :â€" 7.00 p.m.â€"grand illumination of the agricultural park. The horse and cattle stables, also poultry house, will all be lighted by electricity ; 7.30 p.m. â€"â€" principal buildings open to the public; 8.00 p.m.â€"The Syl- vester band and promenade concert; 10 p.m.â€"gates closed. ~ iâ€"lâ€"Dcâ€" ' . E "I (From Friday's Evening Post.) To-day, the second day of the Lind- say Central Fair thousands of visit- ors thronged the grounds. and the directors state that the attendance is far in excess of the same day last year. The success of the fair is now assured, and it. will rank as the greatest from all standpoints in the history of the South Victoria Agri- cultural Society. The omcials and directors are simply delighted at the triumph achieved, and their feelings are shar- ed in by the citizens generally, who have shown their loyalty and inter- est together with the people of the district by attending in large num- bers. The weather is ideal for fair pur- poses, a little warm perhaps, but this inconvenience amounts to nothing when the excellence of the fair with its many attractions are considered. THURSDAY AFTERNOON. It was a busy afternoon for.direct- ors and exhibitors, who worked un- ceasingly to get the exhibits in order. The entries came in thick and fast, and the staff in the secretary's omce Ihad to hustle to keep up with the ‘all in by dusk, but such was not the case, and it will be late this af- ‘ternoon before the last one is book- ed. A general reference will be made Eto the different exhibitors in Saturâ€" ' day’s issue. I At 2.30 the judging in the hall com- menced. A reference was made to the general display in the different class- es in the main building, which should be seen by all visitors to the fair. The directors had an arduous time in awarding their decisions, the exhibits in the different classes being of such a high standard. The Midway was in full swing dur- ing afternoon, and each attraction {did a rushing business. THURSDAY EVENING. In the evening there was a grand il- lumination of the agricultural park, , as well as the horse and cattle .stables and poultry house. At 7.80 ’o'clock the principal buildings were thrown open to the public and an ex- cellent pragramme was furnished by. ‘41 . great Japanese ‘ \Xo. n-nkvrw-«Jtnfl‘elwih U the Sylvester band, which was enjoy- ed by the hundreds in attendance. The beautiful exhibits in the building- were greatly admired by the visitors, while outside several of the outside features on the midway showed their enterprise by “opening up shop." Lovers of horses and cattle as well as poultry fanciers crowded into the apartments set aside for these ex- hibits, and all were greatly admired. FRIDAY MORNING. The directors were on the grounds at daybreak this morning to receive the eleventh hour entries and ‘seign the displays to their respective apartments. ' It was surprising the number of visitors who assembled at the grounds, and these together with the army of exhibitors to and fro made the scene a busy one. The secretary informed The Post this morning that all the entries would not be in until late in the day. At one o'clock in the afternoon 001. Young, of Kingston. inspected the military transport of the 45th regiment, and the judging of horses, cattle, pigs and sheep fol'owed. The programme advertised for the after- noon will undergo a change which was not announced at the hour of going to press. As stated above, there was an un- usual throng on the grounds, and it is estimated that between ten and twelve thousand people passed through the gates up to 3 o'clock. This evening the fair grounds will be open to the public. The Sylvester band will be in attendance, and the troupe of acrobats will perform. NOTES OF THE FAIR. Mr. Hetherington, of Peterboro, has on display in a tent what is termed the largest steer in the world, weigh- ing about 3,600 pounds. Several more attractions arrived on the midway this morning. The amuse- ment space resembles a tented city. The directors wish to emphasize the fact that the Marathon race will start to-morrow from Britton’s cor- ner, Kent-st. at one o’clock sharp. A number of the directors of the South Ontario and Markham Ag- ricultural societies visited the fair to-day and secured pointers on how to run successful exhibitions. Ex-Ald. R. H. Leary, president of Peterboro Agricultural society, was a visitor at the fair to-day. Miss Annie Curtin, of Lindsay, has been secured as pianiste by Mr. P. Breen, who is displaying pianos in the main building. The Sylvester band furnished an ex- cellent musical programme during the afternoon. Lang Maher, of the Daylight Store, had, perhaps, the most uni- que and at the same time one of the most attractive exhibits on the ground. It was termed a model cloflling palace, and was certainly well named. Since coming to Lind- say this firm has been phenomenally successful in business. The display was beautifully arranged, and was in charge of Mr. George Wesley, of Pe- terboro. They featured the celebrat- ed Sovereign brand of youths' and men’s suits and overcoatings, which have achieved a wide reputation. The Sylvester Manufacturing Co., Limited, has a very large exhibit of the firm's make of agricultural im- plements, which are attracting con- siderable interest. Mr. J. G. Eyres. is representing the company on the grounds, while Mr. P. Conquergood has charge of the display. Mr. Fred. Conway, the engine expert, has charge of a 6-horse power engine, mounted on wheels. They can be which is in operation during the fair. The firm manufactures gasoline en- gines from 6 to 40 horse power. They can be placed on skids and are not only portable, but are also made used successfully for cutting wood and threshing, or for any purpose of a like nature. The firm also makes an engine for fire extinguishing purâ€" poses which can throw a stream 100 of the Lynn, Canada's leading pump expert. The Sinclair Carriage Works has as usual a magnificent display of the firm’s buggies, carriages, democrats, surreys. runabouts, road wagons, lumber and farm wagons in charge of than described, and include veritable gems in vehicles that are beautifully finished and upholstered. A note- worthy feature in connection with this display is the fact that all the work is done in Lindsay by Lindsay workmen. Visitors to the fair will be delighted with the exhibit of this enterprising firm. Mr. J. A. Williamson has an inter- esting exhibit of harness and other requisites. including Saskatchewan robes, blankets. and the celebrated Newlands coat. . Mr. B. J. Gough, “where the good clothes come from," as his slogan, has, as in former years, a very cred: itable display of clothing artistically arranged in the main building. This display was in charge of Mr. Ed- wards, who was assisted by Mr. Joe. . 7 the firm’s best lines (in men's and boys' suits and overcoats in np-to-date and fashionable designs. together 3 with samples of fur-lined coats. The fignn ., ,, .. in a Prince Albert outfit togethfl’ with the ones mg youthful coe- tumes, are features of the display. The firm of minds!" 3: Flavelles made a really beautiful exhibit in carpets. rugs and clothing. The dis- play was admirably arranged. the carpets being displayed in columns and Pillars, while the rugs and drap- eries together with the samples of the latest conceptions in men’s cloth- ing were so placed as to make the exhibit “a thing of beauty." Much credit is due to Mr. H. Brimmell, who had charge of the display. ‘ A splendid exhibit was that of the Horn Woonen Manufacturing 00-. Limited, one of Lindsay'- leading in- dustries. “It was in charge of Mr. E. Carter, and consisted of a cou- signment of the firm's celebrated woollen blankets in all Blades, very prettfly arranged, as well as cloak: ing. The firm. by the way. are the only makers in Canada of the blank- ets on display, which speak for them- selves as to quality and finish. Boxall Matthie also made'a most creditable showing of stoves -â€" con- sisting of the Souvenir steel range, the Happy Thought, Royal Oak and Radiant Home. These were arranged in a conspicuous position. Mr. Boxall was in charge of the exhibit. Mr. D. Cinnamon had a fine exhibit in the different stoves and ranges handled by the firm, consisting of the Peerless Peninsular stove and range, the Signal Oak. the Champion Oak and Home Peninsular. Mr. Cinna- mon looked after this exhibit. Mr. Wm. Warren had in a conspic- uous place his exhibit of Bell and Kara pianos, ‘the rotary standard, light running White and Raymond sewing machines. A beautiful instru- ment shown was a finely finished Bell piano with a tone-sustaining frame. Mr. Ed. Barry, travelling represent- ative for the Bell piano, and Mr. A. I. Orton. mechanical expert, were also in attendance with Mr. Warren. Miss Ethel Lacey was the pianiste'during the exhibition. An interesting exhibit in fruit was two big-clusters of very fine grapes, exhibited by Mr. David Galloway, of Miner's Bay, Lutterworth township, aged 85 years. This grape was grown from seed, and is a new variety in and has scarcely any centre. It is both juicy and hardy. known as the Galloway seedling. The directors have certainly done themselves proud in the arrangements- made for outside exhibits. but it is now up to them to provide more for the rapid increase in exhibits in the main building. Take for instance the fruit and vegetable display. The number of exhibits are so large that the space allotted crowds the sampl- es shown to such an extent that they are not shown to best advantage. One of the most interesting. as well as instructive exhibits is that of Mr. F. H. Reed, the agricultural teacher, who has, in the main hall, an exhi- bition of mounted weeds, weed seeds, injurious insects and fungons dis- eases. Mr. Reed will gladly answer questions concerning these and other farm problems. Mr. Reed is assisted by Mr. L. Caesar. superintendent of Etymology in the «Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, and instructor in fung- ous diseases and insect pests. Mr. W. Gray is also assisting. Wm. J. Huff. of Toronto, is on the grounds with an improved fire es- cape, which is attracting considerable attention. The display of maps of old and new Ontario drawn by public school pupils in the county and the town- ships of Cartwright, Manvers and Cavan is a creditable exhibit. *â€" ’ I (From Saturday's Evening Post.) The largest crowd that ever assem- bled within the enclosure of agricul- tural park attended the second day of Lindsay's great central fair. As one looked ' into the grand stand and viewed the standing room along the race track on either sides thronged with people. the fact became evident that it certamly must be the splen- did reputation the local fair has achieved that draws such immense throngs from all parts of the coun- try. “You have 'one of the finest fairs in the Dominion,” said a visitor who had attended for the first time, and he was certainly only voicing the pre- vailing sentiment. Shortly after dinner the people be- gan to wend their way to the grounds and by 1.30 the standing room only sign hung out from the grand stand. The directors with a promptness that is commendable, IOst no time in getting the pregramme started. The Sylvester band was stationed in a conspicuous place on the grounds and the music provided during the after- noon was a feature of the dai- The midway, which, by the '81. was the largest of its kind ever seen outside of such centres as Toronto} London and Ottawa' was one 0! tbs features of the show, and included 3 moving picture shown,” ”‘1 ani- mal um; wry-”round find 3 dosen or more attractionsâ€"all doing ‘ “mum; bw- The Wt booths, too. .which' dotted ’the grounds. reaped a bandit in W ing cooling bevel-es” .

The directors, very wisely, had the grounds and the main building liber- ally sprinkled with water to keep down the dust, and their foresight won for them the thanks of the thousands on the grounds. E THE DOG RACE. ‘1 Shortly before two o'clock Isaac Deyell, the mounted announcer, who resembled an ye olde tyme herald, called for the starters in the dog rice. This was an event that atone: ed great interest. Five dogs entered for this event and a surprisingly fast exhibitions of speed was given by no canines. The course was a little too long when the size of the dogs por- ticipating is considered. The course was once around the half mile W. and so great was the excitem-t at the spectacle that the immense throng in the grand stand and along the track lustily cheered the bow wows and their drivers. The winners in the event were :â€"lst, Hero, owned by ' W. Pogue; 2nd, Barney, owned by Henry Botts; 3rd, Prince, owned by H. Graham. A facetious individual near the judge's stand insisted on knowing the time made. A youthful owner of one of the contesting dogs was indignant. At one p.m. the military transport of the 45th regiment, consisting of nine teams, was inspected by Colonel Young, of Kingston. Prizes were give! by Major John A. Williamson for the best groomed and equipped team. The contestants were : Messrs. Samuel Coultcr, Ops; R. Hopkins, Ops; A. Marshall, T. Bryant, F. Hanelton and three teams of Mr. J. Hutchinson. of Lindsay. i Col. Young allowed the contestants one day's pay and awarded the priz- es offered as follows : 1st, Samuel Coultcr, Ops ship. 2nd, R. Hopkins, Ops township. 3rd, J. Hutchinson, Lindsay. THE PERFORMING ANIMALS . I An attraction that can be classed as excellent and amusing in every par- ticular was the interesting and won- derful performance of Apdale's per- forming animals, consisting of bears, dogs and monkeys. It was excruciat- ingly funny to see them perform in many amusing and clever acts. This is undoubtedly one of the best spec- ial features ever seen in connection with the fair. KISHIZUNA TROUPE. Another special attraction of a thrilling and wonderful nature was the work of the Kishizuna troupe of Japanese ; the best of its kind on the continent. They perform sensational stunts, and the performance is one, of the most expensive and varied" ever seen here. The troupe consists of acrobats, jugglers, tumblers and trapeze performers. These special features are alone worth more than the price of admis- sion to the grounds, and on every side could be heard warm words praise for the directors for providing what are admitted to be the best attractions of their kind ever seen in this portion of the province. THE HORSE RACES. It is an undeniable fact, and one universally admitted that one of the greatest adjuncts in connection with a successful fair are the horse races. That people become wildly enthusias- tic over these speeding events was evidenced yesterday at the fair, when thousands yelled themselves hoarse, and cheered to victory their favorites on the track. Lindsay has always been noted for holding good horse races, but it is the,unanimous opinion of all that the speeding events this year far surpass those held at previous exhibitions. Dr. Sinclair, of Cannington, is the starter secured by the directors. for this year's speeding events, and yes- terday be filled the position most capably. Associated with him in the capacity of judges were His Worship Mayor Begg, Messrs. John Carew and E. A. Hopkins. The events this year attracted some splendid racers, and on all sides could be heard the verdict that the speedâ€" ing events of the afternoon were the best ever. THE GREEN RACE. About two o‘clock the bell rang for the green race, and this event brought out such well known racers as Pinchlight, the property of Jan. Hulme, of Barrie, and a Toronto horse, Shaun Rhue, owned by Jun Noble, of Toronto. The other horses entered tyre Sam Hal of Sunderland; Lapidisb Smiler, of Maple Lake, and Doc Keswick, owned by J. Paul, of Janetville. the latter withdrawn at the end of the second heat. ‘ This race was a splendid one. The first heat was won by Shaun mine in a fine race with Pinchlight squeez- ing him hard. He dropped to second place in the second, Pinchlight run- ning a magnificent beat and proving the winner. It was a see-saw race between these ‘two horses, and their work on the track aroused great en. thusiasm, as they appeared to be Prime favorites. The last best. bow- ever,wasthebestofthefive. The horses got a beautiful start and I". the crowd a grand race, Pinchllaht winning the be“ quite handily. The following}: the summary: Sham Rhne; Jae. Noble.

This event was a hair raiser as far as speeding and excitement are con- cerned, and aroused the wildest en- thusiasm amongst the spectators. .Welter G., the horse which was pro- tested at Peterboro fair because it was alleged he was Little Hector, was among the horse entered. This event also brought out Patterson, a Midland horse. and Jim Noble's Fox Pugue; a Barrie harse owned by W. Gflks, and P. McArthur's Hazel Belle from Toronto were also figur- ing in this event. The spectators got their money's worth in this race, and several of the heats were beautqu to behold. The horses unfortunately were slow at getting started, owing to Walter G. having a tendency to indulge in the sulks. But once 08 the race proved a dandy. In the first heat Walter G. proved the winner, and showed himself cap- able of doing justice in faster com- pany. In the second things took a somewhat difierent shape, and much to the surprise of everyone Fox Pu- gne crossed the wire for first place. The third heat was a beautiful one. In the beginning of the third lap the tire came off Patterson's sulky. The animal ran a magnificent race, notwithstanding. and finished second, amid the cheers of the multitude. There was just about one foot of diflerence between the two horses at the wire. Patterson redeemed herself in the next heat by winning first place with Walter G. second. She reâ€" peated the dose in the next heat, closely pressed by her rival. The re- maining heat of this event was~ run on this afternoon. Summary : 2.22 trot. Walter G., T.
