The officers of the Oxford County
Agricultural Society are considering the
question of an addition to the exhibition
hall. At the present time there Is no
space, outside of that occupied by the
oranges for several years past, that is
not already engaged for the fair next
fall. There is also good reason to ex-
poet five or six oranges instead OF four.
Three firms which have applied for
space have already been informed by
the hall superintendent, G. w. Bowker,

less an addition is made to the hall.

ciety will give the best hall exhibition

will be held at the grounds at ] O'Clock
next Saturday.
