GRAND SUCCESS-$1113 WEATHER ----GOOD EXHIBITS-«4377.75 TAKEN AT THE GATE. Mr. Wm. Sharp had a fine Durham bull. and Mr. Rainer got. a number of Red and Blue tickets in stock. Mr. McKinnon had a good exhibit of wagons, plougs, disc barrows, car. rinses and buggies as well as a Wood- noqk wind mill. He pushes the Deeriug machinery in season. Guidwell Bros. were up in Ayr- shire: as usual and other lines as shown in the prize list. The poultry was judged by Mr. John Ramsay, of Owen Sound, an exmrt in chickenology, and right up in the rules of government in this department. Some of the birds ex- hibited he said were poor while some others could not be excelled in Can- ada. To the ordinary observer, some of the apparently best birds had to be “ disqualified” on occount of some little detect that wouldn’t in the least diminish the quality of the flesh nor deStroy the flavor of the eggs. For instance one poor Houdan hen, lost the red ticket because she had only four toes, instead of the orthodox number of five which the hen book says she ought to have. The principal sheep exhibitors were Messrs Willis, Magwood. Brigham, Herd and Muir. Good exhibiis. ' Mr. 'cuder'. exhibit in Adam’s nuns, Museyofiu‘tie linplements, John Livingston showed \‘Vood- stock wagons, Frost and Wood ploughs, Palmerston buggies and grain grinders. The only department which seem- ed below former years was the ladies’ fancy work, and this may be attribu- ted to the introduction of a clause in the Regulations, practically prohib- iting the professional prize takers who make a business every fall of gadding about from fair to fair to pocket the “pickings" that should go to encourage more local enterprise, This being shut 0E a keener rivalry will soon develop and the depart. ment will be all right. No fear of its decay. From early morning Secretary Mc- ‘Kenzie was on the move, assisted by Miss McKenzie, who, this year, had to share the burden on account of her father’s illness. Notwithstand~ ing the notices, cautions, hints, warnings and threats, some waited till the morning of the fair to make their entries. Good exhibits were made in barley and the Industrial Exhibition in To- ronto had nothing in Deal to excel the samples shown here. Roots and vegetables were good and the exhibits quite equal in qual- ity and quantity to former years. The fruit was, we think much ahead of the exhibits of the past few years, some of the apples and pears being very tine. The dairy products show an im- provement in quality, and we have no doubt Mr. Grant and Mr. Gilbert McKechnie had a difficult task to de- cide as to whom the prizes should be awarded for the butter and cheese. The exhibits in grain were a credit to the farmers. The wheat was all good, and equalled anything to be found anywhere, testing from 62 to 6?); pounds; to the bushel, and we may conclude that yet the townships around Durham are capable of pro- duciug first class wheat and other cereals. The twenty-fourth annual Exhibi- tion of the South Grey Agricultural Society has now passed into hiStory and is considered co have surpassed, in many ways, any of its predeces- sors. The weather was the very best, though Tuesday morning open- ed dark and lowering. Soon, how- ever the sun shone forth,dispersed the clouds, andeverything was serene. The short white oats tested from 49 to 46} pounds while the long white variety ran up to 38 1b. SOUTH GHEV’S BIG SHOW. Tuesday Wednesday, 27th 28th.
