P. Fallowdown is another successful ex hibitor in the horse class. Quite a large representation from Reach and Port Perry were present some were ex- hibitors and some judges. The activity and diligence of the officers Our t , Mr. Tapper, was there with bis favorite " Wanszer," it was a favorite there and isa favorite wherever it goes and the better it is koown the more it is sought after. Mr. Tupper is a reliable and success- ful agent. The * Royal," the manufacture of Gardner, of Hamilton, was also shown, it is a good machine. On the grounds there were two extra fine wagons shown, both manfactured in Wil- I b the one by Mr. Holmes and the and D wera p 7 1g! y were creditable to the society and went far in securing the success of the show and the other by Mr. Hobbs. The show of Agricultural Machines and Impl was not so extensive as that of comfort and satisf of sll who attended The hotels were unremitting in their at. tentions to their guests while active staffs of stable and yard hands gave general satis- on, Neither the condition of the streets of the village nor the approach to it from the south at least, was at all creditable to the path- roaster, At least one mile of the road south of the village was about the worst in the county, we might almost say the Province. The road south of the village shows the effect of drawing gravel af improper times, Gravel should all be drawn in the winter season, but the man who draws it and de- stroys the road fu dewwing it ought to be ine dicted. The road so destroyed will cost more to repair it than all the gravel was worth, for more damage was done to the road over which the gravel was drawn than any good it will do the road on which®it is laid.

Horses were both numerous and choice. The accommodations were all that could be desired: the show grounds wece in fine order and the iuwroduction of the rope around the horse ring was a most desirable improvement, the village was tidy and smart looking and the accommodations at the hotels were all that could be desired, Prizes were awarded as follows: HORSES.

The weather proved favorable as well for bringing in ex- hibits as for ies coming in to see them, On Tuesday, the first such rapidity and in such quantities that the t hall was very soon comfortably filled with a fine collec tion of just sueh articles as should appear at such shows; such produc tiops as it is the province of agricult- ural societies to protect and foster. The industry and good taste of the ladies showed to fine advantage as of the display, and while the simply or py 4 a pi place amongst their exhibits the thorongh- ly usefal was by no means over- looked or even neglected, Such articles in fact held a prominent lace amongst the exhibits of the Bal and it is right and proper that they should do so, for while the simply ornamental should not be ex- cluded exhibits should be valued and encouraged in direct proportion to their degree of utility. Roots, * Fruits, Grain, Seeds and Dairy produce were &lso shown in the hall and the exceedingly tavor- able season for these told to good effect on the extent and quality of the show.
