thousand people were deferred from
starting. Through the day it rained
little occasionally, though not enough to
pour of Wednesday night and Thursday
forenoon left no doubt as to the post
ponement of the third days programme.
Friday was fine day, and the pro-
gramme was fully carried out. The at
tendance throughout was fair, but un-
doubleday much less than it would have
been If three good days in. succession
could have been had.
THE BABY SHOW.
An innovation is the baby show, which
was held on Tuesday afternoon, and the
entries came in slowly until the day of
the show, when a total of forty-nine
appeared in the two classes, and the
audience had little apprehension of race
suicide in this immediate section, The
baby show was a great success, the only
difficulty about it being the want of
place to arrange the infants where they
could be collectively seen by everybody
with comfort.
Each baby was given present, and
cash prizes were awarded as follows:
