/ The Fakirs he man with the half
bess', half humsn family, the man
with the fat womhn, the man with tie
mammoth steer, have al pulled up
their stakes and gone 70 Woodstowp.
The cane man, the whip man, the
ring man, the pin man, the fakir of
any sort, has left.
The jockey and the trotting horses
have also gone, and we only have left
the memories Of the Fair Of 1892.
The closing day yesterday witnessed
a large crowd of people, but, taking it
altogether, the exhibition was not the
success it should bave been.
The farmer would say there was too
much horse jockey; the horseman
would say there WAS too much old
| foggy farmer in the direction of affairs
for it to be IA success.
But we have said, all along, the Fair
| is success, and we say SO still, but
we say it should have been a greater
success.
There are many existing causes of
complaint; one of these will have been
removed when the street cars run
direct to the Fair grounds; another
cause will be removed when the mana
gers adopt such liberal mode of issu-
ing and selling their tickets as shall
meet with public favor and attract
crowds.
The premiums are all right, for
there is general confidence in the CON-
mittees awarding them
There is nothing to complain of in
the exhibits of horses and cattle, poul-
try and pigeons; but the display of
farm produce might have been im-
proved upon, as we'll as the exhibits of
sheep and swine.
But tho women's department is
worthy of all praise; the display of
bread, cake and jellies, preserves and
pickles was superb.
The premiums on much of this dis
play. as we'll as upon the dairy pro
ducts, were listed by numbers and it
is impossible to get the names of the
exhibitors from the committees )ists.
