ricultural Society last week surpassed that
of all previous years. The machinery de-
partment was creditably filled, the racing
was not up to the mark Of some of the better
years of the past The attendance was large

some think larger than ever before Finan-

success and throughout a meeting, of which

that we have perfectly equipped office of
which point, we are proud to be able to say,
we are now nearly in sight. If you have
need of artistic work, do not fail TO call at
