L
Aside from that condition, and the
troubled feeling caused by the frost OF
Wednesday morning, there was nothing
to interfere with the full enjoyment OF
the county fair of last week.
| And the seventy first exhibition OF the
Oxford County Agricultural Society,
which was held on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday, was great success 10 all
respects. In one important respect II
was record breaker, for on Wednesday
it undoubtedly brought to the grounds
the largest crowd of people ever seen
there. Estimates of the number range
all the way from Is, 900 to 25 900, and as
is generally the case, the right figures
are probably somewhere below the aver
age of the guesses. However, the sale
of tickets indicates that there were from
one to two thousand more people on the
grounds that day than ever before.
On the whole the weather clerk was
good to the fair. There was no rain, in
deed, the extreme dryness of everything
was the most uncomfortable feature OF
the occasion. Tuesdays cold wind was
rather dissgreeable, but Wednesday was
as good day as could be expected, and
Thursday, while cloudy, was not at all
bad. The third days crowd was FAIR
one.
There was no flying machine or other
general attraction this year, the usual
and legitimate events OF the fair being
all that were scheduled, and the attend
snce proved that they were all that were
needed. II was q we'll. balanced show,
no department of it lacking good ex-
hibit.
The growth of the fair In recent years
makes IL evident that in spite OF the
splendid equipment of the society, more
hall room and more barn room are both
a necessity of the near future.
THE BABIES.
Tuesday afternoon the society's meet
ing room was filled with the babies, the
proud mothers, and the crowd who had
gathered to see them-that is, to see the
babies, not the mothers. This feature
always draws. The entries in the sever
al classes, and the awards are given be-
low, and it is unnecessary to say that
The committee which had the thankless
task of judging the babies had DIM
