The 26th Of the annual fairs OF the
Union Agricultural society, so widely
known as "World's Fair, was held at
Tunbridge last Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday and was one Of the
most successful fairs OF the society.
The weather was unpromising both
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings
but the weather must be actually bad,
very bad, TO keep the people away
from the Worlds fair. Attending
these fairs becomes habit after the
first year. So many old friends are
met and you have such a jolly good
time you promise yourself at the
'close Of each fair you attend that you
will attend the next.
This fair was one Of the banner
fairs Of the society. The exhibits
were large and excellent. The
crowds that attended were large and
excellent. Probably there was never
seen upon any fair ground crowds so
large that were as peaceable and we'll
behaved. The fellow with the bottle
upon his hip was seen but he soon got
rid of the contents Of the bottle by di-
viding the contents among the fellows
he met and not getting his bottle fill
ed again kept quiet.
The entries in nearly every depart
ment were larger than usual. The
exhibit OF oxen and steers was a good
one. There were no poor animals.
One yoke OF four-year.old steers sold
for $500. There was large exhibit
of mich cows and heifers and a good
exhibit Of swine. The sheep exhibit
was not 80 large as usual but il was
good one. The poultry sheds were
well filled. or fruits, vegetables,
grains, butter, cheese and maple sugar
there was large and excellent exhib-
il. The horse exhibit was one Of the
largest and best ever upon the
grounds. There was an excellent ex-
hibit in Floral hall and this was taste
fully arranged.
Good time was made in the races
but the winner in most OF the races
had speed to spare and the races were
less interesting because Of tins. In
the 2:45 class there was battle for
each heat and this was the interesting
race. The race summary will be
found elsewhere.
