grounds had more Of picnic appear
ance than OH any previous day. Tie
showmen did their best to amuse
the little ones and gather IN
their pennies, and the talking
mannikin with lis scolding spouse fairly
outdid himself. The female snake
charmer, too, with her melodramatic
countenance, abbreviated skirts and
red leglets, did herself great credit.
Even the wooden reindeers and the
herce tigers, with their painted mouths,
on the merry 90 round, seemed aware
that something more than the ordinary
wes expected of them, and pranced and
glared accordingly. IL is no scredit to
the children, that the Polled Angus beif-
er, of astonishing weight, and the Perch
eron stallion with his blue ribbon, had
no attractions for them, while the red
faced Snowman bawled his plaintive
tale. 1t was great day for the chill
dren, and the matter of a small deficit
must count for little against the sum
total of pleasure experienced by the
little ones. In point Of attendance, to-
day was the banner day of the fair
The grand cavalcade took place short
ly after Il o'clock. Headed by the
band, the premium animals were
marched from the stock quarters down
the track to the grand stand and back.
Only the horses appeared to be atall vain
OF having captured ribbons. The cattle,
even to the calves, manifested a noble
Indifference TO the hnery with which
their superiority over their fellows was
designated, thus setting worthy ex-
ample to their prototypes in the human
family. One little Devon COW seemed
for moment to forget herself and grew
quite risky when the boy who led her
tickled her flank with whip,
but she quickly resumed her Gignified
dcmeanor when she saw with what
purltanic sternnesS her associates OBJ
served her Capers. The large dra't
horses attracted great deal of atten-
ton, and made very imposing display
as they were led slowly down the track
by their attendants. The Polled Angus
cattle called out expressions of wonder.
TO many they were a new sight, and
called up the pictures of professions
OF sacred animals in the Orient.
The sheep came after the cattle.
They manifested stronger desire to
reach the tufts of grass along the side OF
the track than to make display worthy
of their class. No machinery was
brought out, most OF the prize machinery
being attached to power engines and
rods. 1t was not as large display as
has been made IN former years, but it
was very creditable one.
