The entries in this department are not
quite up to former years yet in classes
like gentlemen's drivers, matched pairs,
ETC., the entries are more than usual.

ing much attention. They are cross

brooke and a special prize at Barton.
THE POULTRY.
There is only one fault with the poul-
try exhibit this year and that is not
with its quality or quantity. The fault
is with the quarters which are altogether
too small for the size of the exhibit and
not half the birds can be properly seen.
The largest exhibit of fowls is from
Sher and there are several other
large exhibits made by Canadians. The
birds represent many rare species of
most carefully bred fowls. Fred FRYE OF
Danville has some blooded Boston ter
riers and beagle hounds and there are
several other exhibits of pedigreed ca
mines.
