good crowd present and the gate re-
Cclpts We're ahead of the average.
Thre were probably 1000 people on tie
81 ounds. this afternoon. and everyone
seemed to be having Il good time
The attractions for the day were the
exhibition in the hall and the trotting
horses. Oh. yes there was a baby show
and we must not forget that.
There was a great deal of work d ne
in the hall early this morning. and the
result is an exhibition which. though
not so large as has been seen in times
gone by. more than makes up in quail
ity what it lacks in the other respects
The fine display is unsurpassed and
is said to be finer in appearance than
has been seen here for years f. Z.
Mayo of Manchester. is the largest ex-
hibitor. and has 20 plates of apples.
pears. plums and grapes that MAKE
ones mouth water to look upon them
