SaIes at Fairs.

Sales at fairs have long been a fea-
ture of the English cattle shows. In
fact, they have become so general that
many of the English shows are really
market days and are held at frequent
intervals. Sales have played a more
or less important part with American
exhibitors, but have always been made
privately, and fair officials have taken
little or no interest in encouraging
them. There would seem to be an OPP
p~ortunity in this country for advance
ment in this direction. If sale classes
are arranged for and a certain part of
the day set aside for auction sales of
cattle or other produce both the fair
management, exhibitors and general
public might be benefited thereby. 1t
