shire SOW that was greatly admired bv

yearllng and two-year-old colt on

the boys felt very much pleased.
The poultry exhibit was good. S. B.
Smith and August Hitler were tho
main exhibitors and carried away most
OF the premiums. Amos Chadbour
showed some of his famous Plymouth
Rock chickens, but the record-breakino
pullet could not attend the fair as she
is setting.
Inere was a good display of veg
etaoles, the special premiums bv
Princeton merchants proving a strong
incentive, and the best that the fields
produced were shown. The potato COL
lectlon was good, and beets, onions,
caobages, pumpkins, squash, turnips,
tomatoes, etc., were strong testimonials
or the productiveness of the soil and
handiwork of the husbandman Grains
and grasses made very poor showing,
Notwithstanding there we're good pre-
NUNS offered, especially so for grass
es' though there were but two special
displays made, one by S. B. Smith and
the other by c. H. Berry. The far
mers should have done better than
this. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Berry went
to considerable pains and made yerv
good displays, but there should have
been others. In the UNIONS special
for best display of agricultural pro-
ducts there were but two entries, when
there should have beer dozen. but
there would have been no place for
them any way as the small Quarters for
agricultural products is already over
taxed.

plums, grapes, etc., were considerably

collection OF fruit from the Geo. A.
Babb farm in Bradford, now owned bv
John King. The apples were not
named, but there were the Hibernal,
the N. w. Greetings and other kinds
were shown. Crab apples were shown
by Mrs. E. Stone, David Berry, Rob-
ert Ayers and G. Hitler.
The fruit looked better than last
year, the apples especially making a
line showing. The displays were suffi.
clent evidence of the fact that this Sec
ton is we'll adapted to the cultivation
of fruit.
The display of flowers made by Mr..

by all. They showed geraniums.
