SOUTH GREY FAIR Exhibits Equal to Former Years, but Attendance Very Small. Bottom Knocked But by wet Weather. The South Grey Fair was held here on Tuesday and Wednesday but the elements frowned on the society dur- ing both days and it was a huge failure so far as attendance and gate receipts went to make up a good show. The exhibit itself was not a failure by any means ; in fact the display in many lines was quite. up to former years. and in some others it was gen- erally conceded to have been the best ever given here. A year ago the hall was put in fine shape. and exhibitors have been enabl- ed to secure a neat clean space to show Tooth Preparations And Tooth Brushes good, an improvement over the old days when the crowds had to tread a floor of sawdust and dirt of other kinds. The cement floors and plaster- ed walls have done. away with all that. The centre of the lower hall had on exhibition a magnificent display of flowering and foliage. plants and cutl flowers of various kinds very tastfully ‘ arranged. Outside of this all around on the tables were exhibited some fine fruit, much better in appearance, qual- ity and variety than was expected for a year like the present. The roots and vegetables were decidedly below the average of other years. but in cer- eals there were a number of good samples of wheat, peas, and barley. ‘ On the same floor were exhibits of gianos and sewmg machines by Mr. John Clark and others, but the at- tendance was so small that the efforts «of exhibitors would not be fully re- Mr. Russel had a corner in the lower hall where he had a display of stoves. This was a new departure, inasmuch as he had his hardware salesman, a baker by trade, making and baking cookies in a handsome range and handing them to the spectators. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating at it” got a practical demonstration, and the way those cookies were dis- posed of showed the ability of the baker and the range to do the work well.

The hungry editor of this paper was the recipient of Mrs. Adam Robertson’s buns for which she took second prize. They happened to fall in the way of Mayor Calder, Editor On the second floor too was the ex- hibit of ladies’ fancy work, much ad- mired by visitors of both sexes, and regarded as the best ever shown here. The centre of the room had a large exhibit of quilts of all kinds, colors and designs, and we are credibly in- formed that one of them had never been on exhibition before. To keep free from the bad graces of the ladies we must avoid comment and refer readers to the prize list for the names of the various prize winners. Mr. Thos Smith had a, few soft. tan- ned robes of their own tanning and finishing. Ramage and a. few others audit wasn’t long till they were out of sight. \Ve managed to get a couple of them, however, before they were all snipcd, and we can testify to their good qual- ities when liberally spread with some beautiful and appetising butter that we all joined in stealing from Mrs. R. 1908. These are high class goods over which Mr. Mockler has the selling agency and it is quite probable that more will be heard from him in due time. Miss Dick had a nice display of Mil- linery, anew feature in the line of advertising. B.- “'ntson’s exhibit for which she took second prize. If second prize buns and second prize butter go so “'0” what must it be to get into the first prize goods. But our joys didn’t end there. H. B. Miller M. P., gave special prizes of $10.00 for bread, and Mrs. Robt. Morice captured the first prizc. \Ve got one loaf of it and Mr. Haulage got the other, and it would do anyone good to see the two poor ed- itors going down street, each with a loaf of first prize bread under his arm. Say .that was dandy bread; the thought of it makes one happy and it isn’t any wonder that Mr. Morice goes round with the. smile that won’t wear 011'. If we only had some one to take c:u-eof us as Mrs. Morice takes care of Bob, no ('ommon reeveship would hold us. No sir, we’d start right for the Premiership of Canada. and there Iwouldn’tl)(â€"!a1'wl‘)mly able to hold us ' bark. Mrs Morice carried off some “good prizes as will be shown in the L list. There were also on exhibition some good samples of painting, drawing and water colors as well as a few specimens of pyrogmphy, all the work of ladies who have an interest in de- veloping the :vsthetic sides of their nature. The Poultry Show was good, quite up to former years, we think. In this the McDonalds and Mountains and Gadds and a. number of others figure largely as prize winners. Our old friend Mr. C. C. McFayden. is quite a. bird fancier and captured a, number of the prizes. The sheep shown was along the same line as on former years and the prizes go much in the same way to Alex. Muir, George Herd, the Brigham Bros. and others as indicateo. in the list. Mr. John Eckhardt was again on deck with a lot of hogs. Scarf Sons and Hugh McDonald were also exhibi- tors in this line. I_n Herefords the only exhibitor was our townsman, Mr. A. 8. Hunter. He had a good display. The gate receipts were small being less than ninety dollars. This is a. big contrast with some previous years when they took in between four and five hundred dollars. For exhibitors of horses and other stock We must refer to the Prize List. A packed Hall at the night concert helped the society out a little. Every seat was filled, and tickets at 250 each were sold for standing room. The concert was given Wholly by the Southland Sextette, a company of six or seven colored people Who are said to have given a good program. Now is the time to start for a good show for next year. This is the first financial failure in years and we hope the Directors Will not be discouraged but buckle on their armour. Start the ball rolling and keep it going right up to the close of the fair of 1908. These country fairs have to be made interesting.
