A young stallion belonging to Benjamin Bulk tious and reared up making a complete backward. A number of men were soon on hand and held him down until the sulky was freed from the horse and the animal got up with out any trouble. The horse and sulky were not injured. The harness was broken little. After the parade the judging of the different classes of cat tie continued and all through the judging interest ran high in the large crowd which was present.

 of this section. The officers and man. agement of the fair are to be congrat- ulated on their success. They are do. ing all in their power to make it excell in every department. Wednesday morning made the hearts of the man. agers. of the fair heavy, as the heav- ems were very dark, but they kept up certainly looked about To- 30 as if their hopes would be realized, but at II o'clock hard shower came up from the south with downpour of rain and several other showers followed. It was decided not to hold the fair that day, but to wait until the weather | man should give them pleasant wealth CT. The 200 or 300 people who were 1 on the grounds were given back their tickets and the gates closed until a pleasant day appeared so that the | horse show, which is the pride and the making of the fair, could be held.
