Largest National Exhibition Celebrates 55th Anniversary 'â-  •' ! Horticultural Building, C.N.E. To Be "Mecca" For Flower Lovers Exhibits to be More Striking Planned by There will be no d'Trease In entries, or attractiveness ot Floral. Fruit and Vegetable displays at Horticultural Hall, Exhibition Park, this year. The "National" Show forthcoming will be as colorful and as educational In all departments as it has ever been. No efforts have been spared by the com- mittee in charge to hold classifications comprehensively In accord with pre- sent day requirements, and prize money on a scale sufHclently high to well recompense exhibiting growers tor the time and stress of competitive effort. I n the Florlcultural Division, Class 114, "Plants and Groups," still holds a pivotal place ot Importance in the prize list. These large five-hundred square feet groups proved so outstand- ingly attractive in 1932 that they have been left unchanged as far as condi- tions are concerned. Section 1 will be for display of hardy trees, plants and flowers arranged In an informal gar- len, and section 2 will be for a display In formal design. Prize monies in these groups are, gold medal and two hundred dollars for first prize, one hundred and fifty dollars for second prize, and one hundred dollars for third prize. Entries for these groups close on August 1st; this early closing date being necessary owing to the large amount ot space required for staging, and the importance of allow- ing contestants as much time as pos- sible for designing and proper con- struction. Cut flowers, Classes 315 and 318. are, as in prior years, required to make presentations the first and second week ot Exhibition, and In the class and Colorful â€" Great Show Directors for the second week the "Manton Challenge Trophy" is again offered by the "Gardeners and Florists Associa- tion ot Ontario" for the best and most attractive display ot hardy cut flowers. Competition is open to all, Including private gardeners, but commercial florists and nurserymen are not elig- ible. A replica ot the trophy is given annually to the winner. In the amateur floral sections Classes 317 and 318, very slight revisions have been made In conditions or prize money, splendid support having been given by amateur growers to these two classes for the past several years. Special cash offerings ot the Toronto Horticultural Society feature Classes 317A and 318A again this year, though these classes are open only to mem- bers of Hortiaultoral Societies, com- petition nevertheless will be exceed- ingly keen for the major placlngs. Fruit and Vegetable Divisions, as in prior years, will be attractively staged In the Eastern Wing. Vegetables the first week, and Fruit the second week. Classifications and prizes are well maintained throughout both groups, and a good entry representative ot what Ontario can produce will be in competition. The Horticultural Com- mittee, with T. W. Duggan at the helm, are not sparing in their efforts to make the 1933 show a most success- ful one, and the entries and applica- tions for commercial space at present listed Indicate taht much encouraging work Is being done. With the side-wall plan as in 1932 to be again used this year, practically the same amount ot space tor commer- cial displays will be available to trade interests. Sheep, Swine and Goat Classifications Intact For 1933 Exhibition . Breed Associations Make Grants The Canadian National Exhibition Toronto, Ontario By R. H. Judd Oh, Toronto's in her glory at Exhibition time, She is full ot life and vigor, with folks from every clime; And merchants by the thousand come, with their countless wares, To help to swell prosperity that everybody shares. 'Tis here we find the engineer has wrought with wondrous skill. To fashion into active power the products ot his will. The motor cars, like living forms, all in resplendent hue. Throw radiant beams ot shining light their pathway to pursue. The aeroplanes soar high aoft, like purring monsters grey; And motor boats go dashing by in clouds of sparkling spray. The Radio, like mystic shrine, gathers with eerie wings. The message of the human voice from whatever source it springs. The wonders of the "magic eye" are manifold Indeed, It vies to wrest the honor from the "button" for its speed; And it you wish to freeze your cream all ready for a treat. The only thing you have to do is â€" "just turn on the heat." And household needs are not forgot in woman's stately realm. For marvels ot electricity are always at her helm. She washes by its hidden power, her "Hoover" rolls along, And every act that she performs she does it with a song. The farmer, too, goes out to plough, with pleasure and with prid« He need not walk the whole day long, he may with comfort ride. His mower and his hayrake now control a swarth so broad. That with little time and trouble a large hay crop may be stored. His reaper does the binder's work. It also threshes grain; Then drops the bags in handy piles for gathering up again. His house is piped with water, fresh running like the brook. And every kind ot man's device is there with which to cook. One cannot tell ot all the things that herein may be found. Here birds and beasts and fishes, and creeping things abound. Here human crafts and human arts with nature's wonders vie, To show forth the great majesty of Him who rules on high. June, 1933. Ill Milverton Blvd., Toronto, Ont. Freyseng Trophies and Splendid Prize Money Offered The splendid and successful exhibit >t sheep in 1932 had a great deal to do vith the Directors' decision to main- Bin in the 1933 prize list the ten breed- iig classes of sheep ot the medium and jong wooled breeds, on the same ex- ensive basis as In prior years.

Its history dates from 1S79, when Toronto, the Capital ot Ontario, was » hopeful centre with a population ot about 95,000 compared with 856,618 at present; when the total population of all Canada was less than 4,000,000 as against 10,500,000 in 1933; when there was no trans-continental railway across the Dominion, when motor cars and aeroplanes were things merely dreamed of, and wireless telegraphy, the radio, and motion pictures had not even entered the most vivid imagina- tion. In 55 years the annual exhibition in Toronto has become the greatest In the world, for in the short space of two weeks it attracts about 2,000,000 persons to see displays of some of the most remarkable examples ot human ingenuity, some ot the best products In art, science, industry, agriculture, hor- ticulture and other spheres that it is possible to gather together. The exhibition site is within the limits ot the city ot Toronto and flanks Lake Ontario for one mile and a halt. On it are 100 permanent buildings of attractive designs erected at a cost Trotting and Pacing Trotting and pacing Futurities, spon- sored by the Canadian Standard Bred Society, again 'will find a prominent place on the card ot harness racing at the Canadian National Exhibition this year.

Includ- ing "Gallant Fox," by Jay Maddox. "Batter Up," by James Chapin, an ««;- tion picture of baseball, is considered by art critics to be one ot the finest things this painter has done. Chapin became famous for his realistic por- trait of a negro boxer. Polo, wrestling, racing, surf fishing, skating, field sports, swimming, yacht- ing and small-boat sailing, golf, tennis and football, as well as boxing and baseball, are all represented in a col- lection which is certainly the moat striking show of this type ot painting ever brought into the Dominion.
