The Fair.


The fair opened last Wednesday with
an attendance double that of the first
day last year, but the number of exhibits
was smaller than expected, with the ex-
ception of Floral Hall and horses in both
of which departments the exhibits were
very good. Some feeling was caused
this year among the farmers by
the reduction of premiums but it is be-
lieved this will not have to be done an
other year. The sheep show was very
small considering how many good sheep
there are in this vicinity, and the same
was true of the swine. The largest and
most prominent exhibit of animals was
the horses. many fine stations, roadsters,
mares, colts and matched pairs being ex-
hibited. In Floral hall, displays Of oil
colors, amateur photographs. crayons,
water colors, pencil drawings, and
painted china made a very attractive
showing. In the household exhibits
there was the finest and largest display
ever made There would have doubtless
been large crowd the second day had
not the rain prevented.
