We are told there Were fifteen buyers on hand, and that 33 horses were bought, 11 of these being purchased by Coulter Bros., of Toronto. ,The prices ran from $15 to $225. While good horses are in demand the last fair day shows that al- most any kind of a horse will find a purchaser at some price. There will likely be another fair in Ap- ril. In the meantime, it would be well to get horses in proper shape. The Horse Fair on Thursday last was Well attended, a big crowd of people being present, and many horses in the market for sale.
