A Fine Stock Exhibit. =

Early this morning there was a cOnsid-

The Judges had not put in their APP.
pearance In time, and the awards were,
not made by II o'clock.
The stalls this year are filed with over
two hundred of the finest thoroughbred
and highly graded cattle that can
be found within the bounds of
this great state. We find at this
Fair, Herefords, Hosteins, Jersies, Dur
ham, Polled Angus, Devons and other
fine breeds of almost every age, size and
grade. And some Of the finest HerefordS
ever seen in the state were led into the
arena this morning.
The swine department is also well rep.
resented, some of the finest grades OF
BerkShireS, DUroc-JefSleS ana fOlanu
Chinas being found in the pens.
The stock department of our
Fair undoubtedly is success;
The visiting stOckmen are well
pleased and pronunced this exhibit
by far superior TO that of last year, and
equal to anything ever seen in this sec
tion before. There is great deal more
stock upon the grounds, all of it is good
graded material, there being most de-
lightful absence of the scrubby stuff, that
was to be found upon the place last year.
The stock exhibit is certainly deserving
of a most thorough inspection.

A Close Call For Margaret.

PETERBOROUGH, Ont, October L.
The theatrical season was opened
here on Friday night by Margaret
Mather and her company in Romeo
and Juliet" The play had almost a
tragic termination. In the clothing
scene Miss Mather stabbed herself
with q dagger. She formerly used a
thick dagger which closed up when
the blade struck, but it had been lost
and genuine dagger substituted.
Miss Mather forgot about the change
made, and plunged the weapon into
her side. She uttered a suppressed
scream as she fell, but finished her
rsrt and dragged herself over the
body of her lover before the curtain
dropped. An examination revealed
the fact that she had narrow escape
from serious, If not fatal injury. The
blade penetrated the clothing and
corset and strucb the sixth rib about
an inch below the heart, making q
eli ght flesh wound.

all parts are correctly balanced. A better
railroad scene was never witnessed on
San Antonio stage than the passage of
the freight train last night, while the
steamboat engine room scene, in which
the fireman ShovelS real coal into
the gaping mouth of the real furnace,
made many nervous ones turn pale in
anticipation of the terrific explosion
which follows. Niagara Falls" cannot be
