Glenelg Fall Show.

A Decided Success. Glenelg Township Agricultural Society held its Fall Show in their grounds Markdale on Thursday and Friday last. The weather was all that could be desired, and the attendance was the largest seen on sych an occasion. There were a greater number of entries than any previous year. Though everything passed off orderly and very satisfactorily to all concerned, yet one thing was lacking, and which in our opinion should not have been so on any consideration, viz., the presence of our brass band, the band offered to play the afternoon for $10, and we have no doubt had they been engaged, and advertised to that effect, the extra gate recipts would ahve paid the amount so that it would cost the society nothing, as it was however the receipts at the gate amounted to $87, being some $22 in excess of last year. There were a large display of horses, and a constant speeding was kept up through the greater part of the day. in cattle the exhibit was small though some fine animals were on the ground. Thos. Brady showed a yearling bull which weighed on the morning of the show 1,420lbs. Shepherdson of Euphrasia had a very large exhibit of good sheep, and carried off about all the prizes in that class. Mr. Mason had a number of fine carriages, and Noble of Markdale and Pulford of Walkerton had a fair display of agricultural implements. The poultry was a leading feature of the Show. A very convenient poultry house was erected a year ago, and enlarged this year, yet there is not room, there being this year 53 pens of the feathered tribe. R. Montgomery of Markdale had a very creditable exhibit having 34 birds which carried off a large number of prizes. The hall was well filled, and should be enlarged. W. A. Brown, Jewwllar, had a fine display of Silverware, timepieces of various sizes &c.; Fred Moffat of this village had a handsome display of scroll sawing in various forms, one clock case made of 140 pieces was very handsome and displayed great taste and ingenuity. We understand Fred intends exhibiting at Toronto Industrial next year. Thos. Moffat showed splendid specimens of pencil drawing, also pen and ink drawing; these were very much admired. The ladies department was indeed creditable. James Hamilton had a large and very fine display of photos. In fruit the exhibit was small, but the quality good. The quantity of butter was average, and the quality excellent. The roots and vegetables were much better than we expected to see, in fact in this department the show astonished the spectators. We noticed in one position of this class the exhibitor had taken the trouble to mark the name of the exhibitor on the entry tickets, thus breaking the rules and doubtless throwing himself of of a number of prizes. The grain, except spring wheat, was good, though not very largely exhibited, only two entries of spring wheat was showed. Thos. Mathews exhibited a number of sets of harness which showed fine wrokmanship.
