This afternoon will see the close of the fair. and a great many directors are of the opinion that a larger crowd will be in attendance than on the opening day. There are some splendid speeding events to be pulled off, and the special attractions will be found in front of the grand stand. (From Monday's Evening Post) : Dunne, ‘nnd the runner! were loudly cheered by the multitude. The time made was 22 minutes and fifteen sec- onds. The judges were Messrs. J. D. Flavolle, G. H. HopklnS.

The last heat in this race which .was postponed on Friday, was next pulled off, with Walter G. and Pat- terson starting. Both horses ran a close race for the first lap, but to- wards the close of the beat Walter G. gradually pulled away from his opponent, winning in ”1 easy 10:.

The early trains on both the GP. NEWTON SMALE, Assistant. i R. and Grand Trunk lines on Satur. day were crowded to overflowing when they reached the stations, and when the people found their way up street and mingled with those who came to town the previous day, and those who drove in from adjacent points, the streets presented an ani- mated appearance. By nine o’clock in the morning, Kent-st. was black with people, a. condition that never prevailed on the closing day of an exhibition in the past. As the morning grew, the the crowd increased in size, and it was apparent to all that a record crowd would throng the grounds in the afternoon. The people, however, did not wait until after dinner to visit the grounds. They flocked there by bund- reds in the morning, and viewed the exhibits and displays to their heart's content. At the early hour of 12.30 people were swarming into the grand stand at a rate that kept the officials in charge hustling in the discharge of their duties. At 1 o'clock the “stand- ing room only” sign could easily have been hung out, for between 2500 and 3000 individuals crowded and. jostled each other and fanned and: mopped their perspiring faces in an endeavot to keep cool and feel com- fortable. Those who could not ob- tain seating accommodation crowded around the front and sides of the grand stand in a dense mass, while hundreds crossed the track and lined up along the fence bordering the track for many yards on either side of the band stand. The people kept coming until after three o'clock, and when a Post reporter looked out upon the sea. of faces the scene was, to say the least, inspiring and wonderful. i "The greatest crowd in our his- tory,” said President Ellis enthusias« tically, as he looked from the judge’s stand on the crowd before him. ‘ “We will have to add another bun - . red feet to the grand stand,” said Vice President Channon, while an- other enthusiastic omcial had visions of increased ground space as be med- itated on the rapid growth of the fair each year. These gentlemen were . certainly justified in giving vent to their thoughts, for as stated above, ‘ the Central Fair of 1908 was un-! doubtedly the finest held in Ontario. , This statement is not based on the l point of attendance, but on thb quan- tity and excellence of the exhibits. ' Take horses and cattle for instance. While the exhibits in past years have! been large and of a first class char- acter, all past records in numbers and in quality. A visitor to Lindsay fair, who in his official capacity had visit- I ed the leading exhibitions in the pro- . vince, stated that the exhibits in these classes at Lindsay were not surpassed at any fair he visited, with the exception of T THE MARATHON EVENT. The Marathon four-mile road race was the opening event of ,Saturday afternoon's bill of fare. The race started at one o'clock at Britton's corner, and hundreds of citizens lined Kent-st. to s'ee the start. There were ; nine entries for this event as fol- lows: Messrs. Percy Menzies, W. B. this year’s entries surpassed} also Harry K., Dr. i Lindsay .................. It was full of thrilling incidents, and kept the excitement at fever heat un- til the finish. The first heat was a 'dandy, and caused the crowd to sit up and take notice. It appeared to be anyobe’s race at the end of the first lap, but Dr. Cowan'a Harry K. showed its mettle on the final stretch and won quite handily. The win was a popular one with the crowd. Min- nie G., the Kinmount favorite, took second money, while the Penctang horse crossed the wire third. l The second heat promised to be a repetition of the first so far as speed- ing went, but at the end of the first lap Lulu Chimes lost her feet and went down, throwing her driver for- ward. Over the prostrate animal went Hargy K. and its driver, Dr. Cowan, who was picked up and car- ried from the track. it was thought, seriously injured. Lou Keswick also figured in the unfortunate mix-up, and the drivers of the three horses were all badly shaken up. Dr. Cow- an's horse made an attempt to re- peat its Peterboro episode and dash- ed along the track minus a driver, but it was brought to a halt. The other three horses continued in the heat, Minnie G. finishing first, Com- modore B. second, and Togo third. Owing to the accident the judges alâ€" lowed the thrcc horses to start in the next best. Heat No. 3 found the horses pretty well bunched at the end of the first lap, but towards the close the space between them grew wider. The finish saw a beautiful race between Togo and Harry K., the two horses com- ing in almost neck and neck. The heat was given to Togo. The fourth heat saw Harry K. lead- ing in the first lap with Lou Kes- wick second. Dr. Cowan's horse maintained its lead to the finish, with Minnie G. creeping up to second place. This was a pretty beat to watch. The fifth and final heat was of the hair-raising kind. The horses were pretty well bunched in first lap with Harry K. gradually forging ahead. At the wire he gained a good lead. Togo, however, took a hand in the race and faeged ahead. The crowd ‘yelled itself hoarse as Harry K. by a grand burst of speed took first place and won the heat with Togo and Lou Keswick in second and third place rc- ‘ spectively. Summary. Minnie G., Geo.

THE FREE FOR ALL. This speeding event was a cracker- .jack, and was characterized by some 3 4 oronto Industrial. 'of the prettiest dashes ever seen in l lthis part of the country.

The contest between lady drivers, double team in harness, brought out Mrs. T. Downey, of Reaboro, with ‘a beam of bays and Miss Leaks, of Taunton, with a chestnut “an. Mrs. Downey carried off first prize. Both ladies were loudly applauded for their splendid frivfng. The contest for single horse in bar- ness driven by a lady brought out five contestants. The ladies request- ed a spurt around the track. The genial "Doc” Sinclair had a diflcult task in this event in awarding the decision, which was as follows : Mrs. R. Lindsay, of Lindsay, 1st; Mrs. Thos. Downey, of Reaboro, second. GENTLEMEN'S TURNOUT. There were nine entries in this event. Two prizes were offered for the best turnout, single horse, har- nessed to a top buggy and driven by a gentleman accompanied by a lady. Mr. Thos. Cowan, of Orono, carried off first prize, with a Port Perry gentleman winning second. TEAM SPEEDING. Sylvester Bros. gave a plow for the best general purpose team, to be judged by speed and value. The sec- ond prize was given by B. J. Gough. I The winners were : lst, W. Kerr, Yelverton; 2nd, J. Cochrane, Cambray. SPECIAL FEATURES. During the afternoon the Kishizuna troupe of Japanese ncrobats, tumbl- ers, jugglers and trapeze performers electrified the crowd by their won- derful and thrilling performances. Apdale's performing animals, con- sisting of bears, dogs, monkeys and a South American ant eater went through some clever and amusing stunts that surprised the crowd. It might be stated that these at- tractions were the best ever seen at a local fair. The excellent programme furnished by the Sylvester band was one of the features of the afternoon. One of the judges suggested the ad- visability of the directors erecting an overhead bridge across the track to avoid accidents by people flocking on the course. Mr. Garbutt, of Smith township, Peterboro county, was a visitor to the fair. He is a director of Peter- boro exhibition. Mr. S. Stewart, of Highland ranch, Uphill, had nine splendid samples of the Polled Angus breed ol cattle, ob- taining first prize on a bull and ,a second and third on cows. Messrs. J. and D. J. Campbell, of the celebrated Fairvicw Farm, Wood- vllle, had a splendid sample of a shorthorn on the grounds. He securâ€" ed second prizc on a herd exhibited. This display was viewed by hundreds during t e fair. Mr. D. McLeod, of Northumbcrland county, also had a splendid herd of Polled Angus cattle at the fair. Another successful exhibitor was Mr. William Stewart A: Son, of Men- le Stock Farm, near Campbellford. He carried ofi a number of prizes in Ayrshires. A fine exhibit of Shorthorns was also shown by Mr. William Cbannon, of Oakwood. Four cows and one bull captured first prize as a herd, and several others took third. Mr. Dougalf Sinclair, whose fine display of carriages, sleighs and wag- ons were referred to Saturday, cap- tured first prize for the finest dis- play. _, Dr. Clark, of Lindsay, was a suc- cessful exhibitor in cattle, having some fine bovines on the ground that were prize winners. The display of stuffed animals was an exhibit in the main building that attracted a large number. The dis- play was much admired. Miss 8. Ford, sister of Mr. Chas. Ford. of South Ops, who lately ar- rived from England, showed a beau- tiful display of real honiton lace, made from the reel thread by thread, as well as a number of table doy-I lies. This exhibit was greatly admir- ed. Mlss Ford is an expert in this work, some of which she has finished for the Queen of England. Her lace obtained first prize, and her doylics second. The prizes awarded for the best maps of Old and New Ontario (refer- ence being made to the display in a previous issue), was won by a Lind- say pupil. Miss L. Thornc. A pupil of Reaboro school, Miss Dowuey, cap- tured second and Chas. Heels, of town, third. Mr. D. McFadyen, of Eldon, was a winner in his five exhibits of two- year-olds. These animals were dand- ies, and were much admired. In the last heat of the 2.40 race, George Powell's horse, Togo, it was claimed. did not start from the wire, ‘ ‘T: but wheeled the track for a while. ."Ia Walter G. mum t" This Better Than Pills F or Liver llls. ‘12:: ;::m.lasmr:h:dpla.

This animal was bred by, Mr. McWatters, of Lindsay, and isl now owned by Mr. Anderson, of Jan- etville. It was a warm favorite on the track Saturday. NOTES. In the horse exhibit there was a good deal of interest taken. There were a number of good horses and colts on exhibition, and there were many admirers who passed through the stables and examined the animals closely. New stables were erected this year for the horses, and every- thing was clean and in good order. There was a goodly number of ex- hibits in the horse line, and all were of a high class. Mr. Wesley Roberts, of Oakwood. showed a couple of fine mares and colts, and carried off one or more red tickets. I Messrs. R. D. and P. B.
