The Coming Fair.
NEW RULES.


At the meeting of the Executive Com
mitteee last January, two votes were
passed one instructing the treasurer
not to sell membership tickets after
nine o'clock of the first day of the fair,
except to actual exhibitors, and another
that blooded stock to be entitled to
premium, must be registered.
ENTRIES BEFORE THE FAIR.
In order to facilitate matters at the
either himself or by an assistant, be at
the Caledonidn Office on Saturday and
Monday, Sept. IA and Is, fol- the pur-
pose of taking entries of stock, vege-
tables and mechanical implements. 1t
will save time and trouble Tuesday
morning, if as many as can will avail
themselves of this opportunity.
Articles for Floral Hall cannot be
entered except at the main building,
the first day of fair.
THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
Mr.. Grimley, the balloonist, expects
to ascend, weather permitting, on Tues
day. This, with the fine display of
stock which our county always shows,
will make this the most attractive day
of the fair. Two weeks ago to-day Mr..
Grimley made a most brilliant ascension
from Ottawa, Ont, taking up with him
the editor of the Citizen. The voyage
was very successful, although being
obliged to land in dense forest, the
''lighting" was attended with some risk,
but was effected without harm. Mr..
Grimley proposes to take up one or
more persons from this place.
OTHER THINGS.
Sugar makers and dairymen who at
tend the fair next week, will witness
the practical working of the portable
cast iron arch, to be exhibited by
Thayer & Barker of West Burke.
