In lie Floral hall were many hundreds
Of ~ lifts great and small, so many, in
Iac,. that it is impossible to mention all
IT," lanes. The grain department gave
au,pie evidence of the value of the land
fer such production. Some of the traces
81 seed corn and the dishes of oats were
lii finest seen this year.
Passing to vegetables there was a
plentiful supply, including some indi-
vidual monsters. Such potatoes. beets,
Jurnips, carrots, pumpkins, squashes and
gourds are seldom seen. The liberal
year has, indeed, laughed out with rich
er stores than gold. The vegetable which
wasn't represented there must have felt
very lonesome and couldn't have been OF
much account.
Then came fruit, especially apples.
The beautiful displays of large num-
Der Of different varieties would lead one
to think that fruit was the principal OBJ
ject of cultivation. 1t has evidently been
good apple year. Grapes, pears, plums
and other small fruits we're there in
abundance.
The display of canned fruits was the
finest The TIMES man ever saw Mary

impulse it is said by different member:
who are interested to some extent in that
business.
The poultry interest was represented
by brooder and incubator.
The stage Of the hall was adorned
with flo~e rs, some in full bloom, Others
with beautiful foliage. One tray OF
pansies was noticed having % different
varieties.
Then the domestic departments. All
sorts of useful and beautiful article;
from a carpet to lace handkerchief
hung on the walls, were suspended OIL
lines or laid on tables. 1t was bewilder
ing and the ladies must excuse man fol
not attempting to describe them. Il
would be impossible and. therefore it is
not tried. The delicate tracery of out.
line work, the fine oil paintings and airi
ness of the fine lace work of some of. thu
young ladies gave some idea Of the tast,
of the inhabitants of these farms.
