one man at a Mile Laos county fair,
and every specimen was as perfect as
nature could make it. Chas. Hitler of
Crown had also magnificent collec-
tion of vegetables on exhibition, in
Guiding parsnips, mangels, melons,
etc. The potatoes displayed by G.
Croft are deserving of mention for
their size and c]eanness of skin. He
also exhibited some splendid Hub
bard squashes and other vegeta bles.
Mike Mahoney, the clover enthusiast,
had On hand punches of clover of this
years first and second cutting and a
bag of clover seed from last years
threshing. The clover was of large
growth and we'll filed. The seed was
OF high grade and was the first
threshed by the clover huller pur-
chased by Henry Schmidt from the
Galley Hardware company last year.
Specimens of fine cabbages and beets
were entered by A. Howard, display
Of excellent onions by r. Murray, big
pumpkins by F. A. Lowell; sweet corn,
sorghum, popcorn, etc., by G. Berry.
In corn Henry Hoffman had on ex-
hibition some fine white cap dent and
F. A. Lowell fine specimen of yellow
dent. Geo. Tomlinson and VIM. Stead
man also exhibited some good speci-.
mems of white cap dent while August
Hitler, in his collection of grain, had
some exceptionally fine white and
yellow flint, wheat, oats, etc.
In the preserve and pickle depart
ment the exhibits surpassed those of
last year, and the ladies who contrib
uted to this department deserve praise
for the efforts put forth to make it a
success. Mrs. Frank Henschel pre-
sided over this collection.
The exhibit of Robt. Shaw, consist
ing of extracted and comb honey,
pickles, etc., was particularly fine
one.
The flower display, largely supplied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. Clark was
large, varied and highly attractive.
LIVE STOCK.
In this department the exhibit was
not nearly so large as that of last
year, Chas. Murray of Pease not hav-
ing entered his fine herd of Herefords
and other stockmen who contemplated
placing animals on exhibition being
from various reasons unable to so do.
However there were some fairly good
animals in the stalls. .--
Among the cattle, a -Shorthorn reg
istered bull calf, the property of j. M.
Rudisell; four COWS owned by E. G.
Stark and Durham bull belonging
to Geo. M. Orion we're the best on ex-
hibition. The latter two animals were
begot by registered bulls.
= There we're a number of horses en-
tered, among them being the follow
ing: Three-year-old stallion, regist-
cred, D. 81. McCuaig: Hambletonian
colt, Geo. M. Orion: two-year-old
colt, M. Kailher: seven head of
Percherons, John F. Thoma: team
heavy shire horses, J. M. Rudisell,
Foreston.
The sheep exhibit consisted of
twenty animals, all Shropshires and
virtually of the same family. Seven
Of them were the property of E. Orion
of Greenbush and thirteen we're en-
tered by VIM. Thompson of the same
place. They are all of registered
pedigree and are particularly fine
specimens.
In poultry the display was, if any
thing, larger than that of last year
and comprised all the well-known va
rieties such as Plymouth Rocks, Leg
horns, Minorcas, Wyandottes, Brah-
mas Cochins, Bantams, ducks, geese,
turkeys, etc. This years mascot was
a chicken hawk.
BREAD, PASTRY, ETC.
A very fine assortment of bread,
rolls, cakes, cookies, pies, etc., as
we'll as some splendid exhibits in
cooking, were exhibited in this de-
partment. Mrs. Daisy Mudgett had
an exceptionally fine array of tempt
ing viands, and she was awarded the
first prize.
FRUITS.
The fruit display was lighter than
that of last year, but from it one could
gather an idea of what the soil here
abouts is capable of producing. In
apples Chas. Hitler exhibited a num-
Der of the Duchess variety which we're
as fine specimens as could be raised
anywhere. An apple display by Mrs.
Rose Patterson, consisting of five
plates and ranging from Wealthys to
crabs, showed a remarkably fine var
iety, while a Duchess and crab exhibit
