This fourth annual exhibition of the
Win ington Fair and Industrial Asso.
citation closed on Saturday at Hazel
Dell under most suspicious circum-
stances. The weather could not have
been better for the last day of the fair
and in consequence of the good weather,
the track events, the balloon ascension
and other features which have all con-
tributed to the fairs success, succeeded
in attracting between 1000 and 5000
people to the grounds.
The track events were not so interest
ing MS on the previous day, yet there
was plenty OF other means Of entertain
ment for the visitors and all went away
well pleased with the days exhibition
Saturday was great day for the hun
dreds of merry school children who
| passed through the gates gratis, and
each child enjoyed the privileges ex-
tended to the children and romped and
| played as they had not done for many Il
day. 1t was beautifu. sight, as mem
Der of the fair association remarked in
looking down from prominent eleva-
ton upon the heads of hundreds Of
lads and lasses, to see so many of the
| young basking in the delights of the
many amusements held out to them
upon the grounds. The day seemed to
have been created especially for them,
the children thought, and its recollec-
tions will ever be a source of pleasure
and happiness to them, as they recall
the good times and the fun they had at
the great fair.
That the fair was complete financial
success this year, cannot be denied.
Tie directors are more than oyerjoyed
at the result, and fully expect that next
years exhibition shall even surpass that
of this year. The fair people are
enthused over the management the fair
received this year, and too much credit
cannot be given Manager t. d. Brown,
they say, for his interchangeable efforts
and extraordinary skill in bringing this
