Kline 9 pairs; VIM Roy, Barnet, had
pairs, aud Nathaniel Roy, Jas. Gooiwillic,
aud Park Harvey pair each. There we're
several pairs Of cattle which we should have
been glad to mention but could not fnd the

be plenty of stock on the. ground again with
out owners names.
Passing into floral hall, the FIRST thing on
our left is the milk pans Of the Morrisville
Milk Pan Company. The principle of this
pan for which superiority is claimed is a
perforated serpentiuc pipe running the length
Of tho pan under the milk compartment, by
means Of which the fresh water is introduced
to all parts Of the pan at once, whereas, if
the water be simply introduced at one end
aud drawn of at the other it forms a current
and does not circulate about and it passed
back aud forth several times it becomes
warm before it reaches the outlet. The pro-
prietor informs US that they have sold sixty
sets Of the pans since they commenced oper-
atoms last April
W. o. Campbell 4 Co., of Richford, had
model of their pans. The especially recon-.
mending feature Of this pan is its division in-
to two compartments Of different sizes, so
that it can all be usel in the best of the sea-
son, and as the cows shrink 10 yield in the
fall first the largest compartments can be
used, and then tho smaller.

The ladies have certainly done their part t.
make the fair a success, as they always viii
in every good work.
The best floral display is bower con
tributcd by Mrs. WIN. Russelow and Mrs
Finley, Of North Danvile To us it wa
the most attractive ornamental article in tn
hall, aud it certainly deserves a premium.
There are a good collection of flowers il
worsted and wax work, and two large chro
mos which are good, also quite a lot Of Sun
day school notices. Geo. IL. Hastings ant

Passing back to mechanics hall, some o
the articles in which have been noticed we fin
Is tubs Of butter An ornamental plate o
butter from Mrs. T. Mason, of Waterford
is worthy OF notice. There is plenty q
bread, aud we know it is Of the best.
