ing last with a good attendance during the
day. The display of farm and garden pro-
ducts, butter, cheese, honey, fruits, flowers,
potted plants, home fabrics, works of
art, culinary products, musical instruments,
sewing machines, harness and other articles
in the Exhibition Hall was very creditable
and attracted much attention.
In the live stock department the exhibit
was equal in point of numbers and superior
in respect to quality to any previous year,
and was sufficient to convince any one that
the county had within the past few years
made rapid strides in the production of fine
bred stock.
The display in the poultry department
was the largest and finest ever seen in the
county, showing many improved breeds.
A new, novel and attractive feature of the
exhibition was the bench show OF dogs, en-
bracing some fine specimens.
During the three days of the exhibition
the weather was fine, and on the second
day there was an immense crowd in attend
ance. Financially the Fair was a success,
leaving the Society in good condition.

voted to athletic sports, of which the follow
