"oOAobOS1A, oCRlCLnQCI IO--4 AS weather man handed out another grand oay for the c.ose of the tNood- stock fair Wt Wtdnesday, but this fact added to all of the attractions of the exhibition failed to attract more than a few hundred people. as is usually the case on the last day of the fair. About everyone seems to like the plan of going to Woodstock on the first ''big'' day. Those who did go We'd nesday had a better opportunity to see the exhibits than was the case Tuesday. for there was no crowding. Some of the things that were to be seen Tuesday-along toward evening were not to be seen Wednesday, however. for inklings came to those in authority that one of the shows sup posed to be an aid to the human in- tellect" was full as much, in one way, as it was advertised to be. and it got the hook. This was oyer on the mid way. This show appeared to come within all the limitations fixed by the careful fair association when it first are true, did not continue in the ways of righteousness.
 Fine Horses Shown.
 Chief interest centred about the track Wednesday. In the morning there was. an exhibition of standard bred and other kinds of horses, . showing of colts and the entries in the family driving horse class. In this last class first premium was second to w. H. Young of South Woodstock. third to L. H. Healey, ST., of North Woodstock, fourth to Leon ard Healey of North Woodstock. The exhibition by this class was the last of the morning.
 When the hour for the afternoon program arrived the grandstand was not crowded to the rails with hu- manity as was the case Tuesday, but there was an interested crowd on hand for the races carded which were run off in way to furnish some in teresting sport J. Carl Witter Of Danielson again acted as started.
 Entertaining Animal Show.
 Added to the race features of the afternoon and to the showing of fine horses entered in the ladies' driving class and the gentlemen's driving class was the fine list of acts by Ster- rett's animal circus, which is one of the best things in the entertainment line that has been provided at the trained and cleverly managed by those with the show, the acts getting very liberal applause.
 Balance on Right Side.
 At the secretary's office Wednesday it was said that it was then impossi- ble to tell how successfully the fair has been in a. financial way, but there is practically a certainty of a balance on the right side of the ledger. The admissions will bring in a large sum and the fees paid for concession rights also amount to a considerable sum this year.. There are heavy expenses connected with the fair, however. so much of the money that rolled in will roll out again, but the margin retain .5 xx-i1I ny EIac7 7lxy he S any recent year, at least the officials were hoping so when the gates were closed and the fair declared ended.
