The weather on Monday was fair, but the condition of the roads prevented many from coming that â- Ronld have helped to increase the large numlier that did come. The «hov,- was in McLean's Hall, During the forenoon while the judges were engaged in the Hall, the crowd ex- amined the excellent show of horses and cattle. The show of the former animals woula do credit to any exhi- bition. In the Kail fruit and field vegetables were reperesented in abund- ance and in great variety. Among them wo noticed a ^curiosity in the mstance of a three-headed cabbage, all of tlie heads good and solid. It was grown in the garden of Mr.. David Grant, sr., binghampton, who pre- sented it to a representative of one of oar town grocery stores where it is now on exhibition. The ladies, as usual, were to the front with their fancj work, which received many praises. Great credit is due the President and Secretary, Messrs, Stinson and Grant, who were besieged from early morning by people wisMng to know this and that, all of which was answered with the cheerfulness of one who was hot- at all busy. The day was closed by a tea-meeting m the Presbyterian church, for which the young ladies were engaged m selling tickets, and so far as we can learn they did sell them in no small numbers. â€" CoUingwood Bulletin. Last Wednesday, the 10th, was one of the most delightful days of the sea- son, rendering it a pleasure for an outing. Holland Centre was thronged with people from the surrounding country and villages, Markdale being especially well represented. The first duty on arriving on the noon train was to supply the inner man, while the present proprietor of the Queen's, Mr. McGutcheou, is just the host who furnishes an excellent spread after enjoying tins much appreciated past- time we made our way to the hall where we found a well arranged and creditable exhibit; it was not very extensive but the quality of the articles on exhibition was indeed superior. The stock ring attracted a large crowd and a very frequent subject of surprise and remark was the wonderful im- provement in horses. The exhibit was in every respect a credit to this dis- trict, being fully up, if not superior, to any local show we have attended. The spring colts, yearlings and two- year-olds were indeed a very fine ex- hibit. Wm. Garbelt, of Holland, sliowed a pair of heavy draft colts which are worthy of special mention as there being nu class for them they will not appear in the prize list. Mr. Garbett was oflered the previous week $300 lor one of above colts, a yearling Clydesdale. There was a much larger exhibit of grade cattle than is usual at township shows, also of a higher class, being well bred but not pedi- greed. J. B. Shepherdson, Euphrasia, exhibited a fine lot of sheep. Alex. McArthnr, of Chatsworth, had a very fine display of carriages of various styles Avhich showed excellent work- manship. Altogether the show was Tery successful. W. J.

The Game is certainly a grand and noble fowl, yet not so well suited for the farmer as some other breeds, it is an excellent variety. They can. by proper selection, be bred, not only beautiful in color, but they are noted for their excel- lent quaUties as layers, and for table use come up to the majority. They have faultless shape, well-balanced organism, every movement bespeaks royal dignity, and every step is finn, elastic, defiant and commanding. Their plumage is brilliant, hard and varied, full and flow- ing on those parts nature designed as best suited to represent original perfec- tion. In station and po'se of body, they have no equal their limbs are in pro- portion to other parts, indicating strength and solidity, giying firmness, coi^dence and muscular force and action to every step. They have bright and fearless eyes, strong beaks and neck, sohd bodies and full breasts. Among the many varieties of Games, the B. B. Reds and the Blue Piles are (the most popular.

FaUaQ( asrO"^7- 003i^/£^»lLiEiTB -AT THB- of Euphrasia was held at Rocklyn on Friday last. The morning opesed threatening but it cleared off towards noon, and the weather overhead was all that could hs desired, while the sun and high winds combined to make it not so bad under loot. There were a largo number present from all parts of the township, and the attendance on the grounds during the afternoon could not have fallen much short of 1,000. The show of horses, cattle, swine and poultry compared very favorably with the St. Vincent show at Meaford. The show of sheep was a long way in advance of the St. Vinofipt show â€" both in numbers and quality. The spacious building on the Bociet^ grounds was used for. the exhibition of ladies' work, fine arts, roots, yegetables etc. The ladies of ^luphrasia bad no reason to be ashamed of the qnaotijy or quality of the wor^ shown. It was m every respect as good, and la gzMt €r quantity, than wa^seen at %» show at Meaford. The roots and fsg^tames frere simply magni^Bent* excite the imagination of the beholders, and brine to mind the original plumage of the progenitors of onr present domes- ticated game fowls. They are also much easier to raise than other parti-colored yaiieties; if the breeding stock have clear, deep, pure and well-defined colors and shades, becanse these colors have been produced by nature and not by the selection of man. The hens, too, are good layers, good setters and motherB, and remarkably vigilant, showhig a dis- position to protect their broods against all enemies. Their flesh, when well and quickly fattened, is nmvezsaUy consider- ed the best that grows on chicken bones as it has much the same flavor and sweetness of birds.
