StcoSp DAY.
Our programme for the second day was
the opening Of the Ladies Fair, the Iiorti.
cultural exhibition, and trot'ing horses Tor
the Socie,y's purses OF $500 and $1,000
each. The hall for the ladies' far wac
opened early in the morning, and was
throngcI with visitors during the day. As
the number Of articles entered was 80 great,
and the hall 50 well filled during the day,
the llfrerent committee. did not have time
to make - formal report as they would
like TO have done, and we came TO the con.
clu.on tina, It would hardly be generous to
ask The Democrat to publish a foil report
OF our show, after having 50 generously pub
li.hed so many other lengthy ones for other
societies.
A glance a, some OF those articles which
attracted much attention was all we could
do In the time allotted US.
A piece Of cotton and wool flannel pre-
son,ed by Mrs. Asa Fuller, was worthy Of
notice, and the best presented. Other
wooden and worstoi good. were presented.

A. c. Chlld,. The wool was taken from
lamb only three months old and earded 10y
hand. Very fine wooden witien' were pre-
.en,ed. We noticed pressed flannel quilt
by Mrs. W. Sparrow; IL was really worthy
Of notice. and We hope to see more Of such
another year.
