The various departments were fairly well filled, the inside exhibit being quite up to former years, taken all round. Uurside 'he stock was on the slim side, although soma fine animals were shown. The poultry exhibit was good, a splMndii variety of choice breeds being on exhibition. Que of the largest exhibitors in this line was Mr. Barber of Honeywood, Reeve of Mulmur town- ship, who is a great poultry fancier and handles a number of varieties. He and another gentleman brought up two car lo»ds of fowl. There waa a hamper .house at the concert in the high school. The talent was new here and en the whole was well up to the standard of fall fair concerts. â- Phe horse rscing waa rather slow. There were dve horses here, but the animals had raced in Shelburae un Wednesday and were driven up here on Thursday, and were quite frigged.
