Little Miss Galbraith posed patiently while your roving photographer mopped a sodden camera, but Bozo wasn't anv too happy about having; his pic- ture taken. He seemed to feel that any cat that won first prize was entitled to go home and gtretch out by the fire. He glared at your photographer with the haughty disdain of a true champion. The Black And White Show â€" Sponsored by the Ontario County Holstein Club drew many entries. Shown al)ove are some of the best including the 4-year-old Wet Senior Champion, Elmcroft Dew Drop M and Reserve Champion, Macbarr Countess Lochinvar. Mr. H. L. Fair of Uxbridge is very active with this Black and ^A^hite Holstein Club and much of the success of the show may be attributed to his efforts. Rain at Blyth didn't dampen the spirit of that well known radio announcer, Torry Gregg. The officials of the Blyth Fair used a technique which might well be followed by many of the other fairs. They secured the services of Mr. Gregg of C.K.N.X,, and as a result all announcements were handled in a very professional manner. In spite of heavy rain, Mr. Gregg succeeded in injecting a note of gavetv into everv event. The Winner At Milverton â€" The 3-year-old filly, Queen, owned by Mr. William Bannernian of Monkton is shown above. Queen placed first in the Agricultural Class against very keen com- petition, Mr. Bannerman plans to enter Queen in a number of other Fall Fairs during the comine; season.' School Children at Orono lent a festive air to the occasion when they presented a va-\ 1 colourful program in front of the grandstand. The youngsters put on a show that lasted for some forty-five minutes. The juniors made a great hit with a group of songs including selections from Gilbert and Sullivan.
