Mechanics Work.

In the Floral hall building and
outside was a good showing of farm
implements, various wheeled vehicles,
sleighs, and some of the machinery
was humming away under gasoline
power; its noise, however, was in
effective against the racket OF the
unmusical merry-go-round nearby.
Richmond & Eastman showed the
keystone engine, Sharples separator,
etc.; A. l.. Wood & Son exhibited
wire fencing, roll. roofing. and a
pillow; and among other exhibitors
were Isaac Newton, sleighs; S. S

The Poultry.

The new building for the poultry
department is large enough for the
present, but the influx of birds on
Tuesday overlooked the coops. The
poultry show at the fair has been
growing, as have other features, and
also improving in quality. There
we're blue ribbon winners among all
the breeds represented, handsome
birds, in full dress for the occasion,
and the showing was splendid one.

Fruit and Vegetables.

A light year for apples. pears, and
other orchard products, ---or else the
neighborhood fruit growers didn't
bring their wares for exhibition.
Apples took up most Of the occupied
space.
Mrs. Richard Billings OF Sunset
farm made an attractive, display of
fruit; and Billings farm had its
usual conspicuous showing of vege-
tables.
An eye-compelling display of gar
den products, spreading over much
space. was made by w. j. Jones Of
Woodstock. Mammoth squashes,
mammoth beets and other things of
large dimensions dwarfed nearly
everything in the ,neighborhood.

Horses.

All classes stallions, mares and
foals, roadsters and draft horses
were handsomely represented in this
department, which excelled in num-
bers the showing of recent years, if
it didn't break the record. 1t pays
to raise good horses and the result
of the renewal of interest in breeding
is beginning to be manifest.
F. e. Gilson's Brownell, H. H.
Tolman's Bijou, Alcione, shown by
Z, a. Williams. and Sumner Sher-
burne's famous Morgan were among
the stations; lot of roadsters. we're
out on the track, and together with
the draft horses it was u notable
showing this year.
The prize for ladies drivers went
to a good-looking little Morgan, and
there was unusual interest in the
competition for the special purse
offered by Mrs. +. S. Mackenzie.

Floral Hall.

There was distinct improvement
in the quality of the exhibits in
Floral hall. that repository of fancy
work, household articles and things
that pertain to domestic science and
economy; much bad stuff is being
eliminated, and this fact is encour-
aging. A notable feature this year
was the especially good work shown
by children and young. women.
There were rugs and rugs, and
many good ones, and several antique
bed spreads, shown by Mrs. B. L..
Peoples of Woodstock, M. A. Holmes
of Hartland and Mrs. w. w. Dimick
OF Windsor were beautiful in color
and design and were excellent ex.
amples OF the handiwork of other
days.
f. S. Mackenzie's Conservatives
made tempting display of flowers
and fruit-beautifu orchids, other
potted plants, grapes, peaches, nee
tarines-a tropical showing which
attracted all visitors and blocked the
aisles in the crowded hours.
The Fashion made a stylish and
snowy exhibit of the Mackenzie
woolens,- from the Bridgewater
Wooden Co., in pieces and in we'll
made garments.
Two winter scenes in pastel by
A. B. Wilder. several studies by
Miss Margery Brown and beaten
copper work by Mrs. G. R Winslow
were notable features of the art
exhibit.

spotless showing of its work, and
booths were attractively filed by the
merchants of the village - E.. A.
Spear, Crawford ranges; J. Living
ston, w. J. Boyce & Go. and ]. B.
Jones.
Beautiful displays of flowers we're
made by Mrs. Robert LaMountain,

A Playful Wolf.

Wolves carry Off children out on the
frontiers Of civilization sometimes, but
In New York some children turned the
thing around and came near carrying
Off the wolf. He was big gray wolf,
and he had been kept In private me-
nagerie In the suburb where the chill
dren live. Mr.. Wolf got out of his cage
and ran away and then came upon a
group of children playing in the dust.
Wolves like to play in the dust. too,
and so this wolf was not at all offend
ed when the children dragged him into
their play. They thought that he was
a street dog, and he did not tell them
what he really was. He let the chill
dren pull his tail and push him about
and feed him candy. and he was hav-
ing royal good time when his owner
came along and captured him.

The spectators we're not surprised

long time, and an investigating farmer
found him in his bed dead and on a
table a note saying that he had been
taken Ill and could not go for a doc
tor. In the note there was mention
of hoard of money in the cellar of
the shanty where he lived.
The coroner and several neighbors
made a search for the money and
found 1t cunningly hidden. There was
an old oak log in dark corner of the
cellar. and in the log were holes so
well plugged with original wood that
the log looked whole. Under the plugs
were found gold coins, and $500 In all
was taken from the queer bank and
turned over to the county authorities.

Tho Game Of Wink.

Wink is an amusing game and il
generally played as follows: Chairs are
placed In a circle; girl occupies one.
and boy stands behind her chair.
Suppose there were sixteen boys pres
emit and only fifteen girls, the sixteenth
boy would stand behind an empty
chair. All the girls must look at the
sixteenth boy. The one he winks at
must Jump up df she can get away
from the person behind her chair) and
sit in the empty one. Then the boy
behind her former chair must wink at
some other girl.
