forme
THE HORSES.
There were 212 ehtries alone in
horses and a better
toun y.
Nearly 6000 Visitors Present. A. Gotal
Display of Horses, Cattle, Shea),
and Pigs.
As we had anticipated the annual
fall show of the. Kinloss Branch Agri-
cultural Society on Tuesday and Wed-
•nesday of this week eclipsed 'anything
of the kind ever before held in the
County of Bruce. The wet and dis-
agreeable weather on Tuesday detained
many from bringing out their exhibita
on that day, and as a result the inside
department was not as largely repre-
sented as would have been the case
had the day been favorable, but on
•s„Weelsneaday,ratirnh4-th
bright aid warm and a finer day
could not be had. This was all that
vas needed to complete the success of
the exhibition, and by three o'clock
fully 6000, people were on the grounds.
It was by all odds the largest crowd
that has ever attended a show here
and we doubt very much if it has ever
been equalled ,in the County. The
show itself was complete in every de-
partment, and all. went home fully
satisfied with their day's pleasure.
• There was a large number of promin-
ent visitors present who were•loud in
their praise of the great number of
• splendid. horses,. cattle, sheep, pigs, etc..
shown, pronouncing them the best
they had seen at any of the leading
shows.
UFS o e a . veryt ing flown
to the skill and genius of the lady folk
from the solid and comfortable looking
log cabin quilt to the smallest pieces
of fancy work that dainty fingers
could produce was to be seen, in all
designs and shapes known only to the
fair one themselves. Some very fine
collections were ' shown and many
single pieces of fancy work were
highly creditable to their owners.
DAIRY PRODUCE.
The show in dairy produce occupied
a large stand on the north end of the
building and was a good display.
There was a large quantity of butter
shown and so good was the quality
that the judges had a great deal of
trouble in awarding the prizes, and in
fact one of the judges declared that
flf tbast prT--"
The dislay of honej was also.good, but
the exhibit of comb noney made by
Mr. Thomas Matthie, ,of this village,
was the largest and best ever „shown
here, and for which the judges justly
gave a special pri▪ ze. s
GRAIN .‘ND ROOTS.
THE HALL.
The 'inside department was all that
could be desirect„ and the display
made would do credit to any show in
the Province,. On*Tnesday evening as
usual, the building was opened to the
people, and notwithstauding the very
.disagreeable night, there was a good
attendance. The place was brilliantly
illuminated and everything looked
exceedingly well and reflected great
credit on the officers and directors of
the. Society. On entering the main
door the first 'attraction that presented
itself to the visitor was the Manitoba
exhibit hy the Canadian Pacific .Rail-
way, which occupied a large space in
the southwest corner of the hall. The
display, which was not as large as
pected, consisted chiefly' of grain and
grasses, including wheat, oats, barley,
etc., the heads of which appeared to be
large and well filled. The timothy
and other native grasses were excel
lent, some of which measured nearly
six feet in length. There was also
shown a short grass, which is grown
at the foot of the Rocky Mountains,.
and which is chiefly used for winter
cattle feed. The whole Was neatly ar-
ranged and the gentlemanly agent of
the Company was indefatigable in his
efforts • to supply every item of infor-
mation to the pudlic.
GARDEN VEGETABLES. •
On the stand next to the Manitoba
exhibit was the finest display of gar-
den vegetables we • have ever seen,
the carrots and vegetables begng excep-
tionally fine, while two large bunches
of Old Country Curley Karl, shown
by Mr. Malcolm McDonald, were also
deserving of special mention.
Tun FRUIT.
For many years past we have been
credited With having,the finest display
of fruit to be witnesed at any show in
the county, but this year. the exhibit
surpassed anything ever before shown,
and it was agreed by many coin petent
judges, who has attended the Indus-
trial in Toronto and the Western at
London, that our display of apples and
pears especially were ahead of any•
seen at these two great shows. The
show of gapes wits also very good.
•e„
n er e ore s own in uc tow.
-In heavy ,draughts especially was the
contest very keen, and one Atuelican
horsebuyer who was present, said they
were the finest lot of colts he had ever
seen together. A team of two year
old colts exhibited by Mr. John Jam-
ison, of Ashfield, were especially fine,
and carried off the special prize of $5
as the best team of heavy draughts on
the grounds. In the general purpose,
and the road and carriage classes there
was also a large entry and inanaaekCeps'
tionally•good animals were shown. -
CATTLE, SHEEP AND PIGS.'
All the above classes were well rep,'
resented and the number of entries far
surpassed those of former years, but as
the Secretary had not completed the
judges books, we are unable to single
them -out for special reference.
Several very fine bags of grain were
shown and despite all the great noise
,about the fine wheat producing qual-
ities of the Prairie Province, the wheat,
shown here was far ahead of the hest
samples of the Manitoba exhibit. The
show of anangels,. turnips, etc. was also
large and good, while the potatoes were
pronounced by all to be of excellent
quality.
ORGANS' AND SEWING DitACHINES. -
, Nearly all the large stands down the
centre of the building were occupied by
the tine display of ergans, sewing
machines, pianos, etc., made by ;Mr.
W. Allin and Mr. Thos. Young, both
of this village. Those gentlemen are
deserving a good deal of praise for the
interest they have taken to make • the
show attractive,' and if others of our
business men would do likewise, a still
'better exhibit could be made.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. W. Anderson, showed two large
,cases of native stuffed birds that were
greatly admired, as was also the two
cases of foreign birds sLowir by Dr.
Garnier.
The fine display of flowers and other,
house plants shown by Mrs. D. Mc-
Donald occupied a large stand in the
north end of the hall, and added a
good deal of beauty and interest to the
show.
Mr, T. L.'Treleaven., occupied .a
large space with his beautiful collection
of .handsomely finished photographs,
which were much admired.
Mrs. NV, J. Brump..on and Miss
Carrie Lawrence • each exhibited a •
couple of exceedingly tine samples of
crayon pictures that would do credit
to • work of the best artists in the
Doruinion. There Were also a number'
of .beautiful oil paintings shown that
were highly spoked of.
Mr. Walter. Stewart of the Luckno,v
Martina Mills also had on exhibitisnat'
tine selection of dressed lumber, doors,
sashes, etc.
Mr: J. Grenache also had on exhi-
bition a very good collection of ladies
ad gents tine boas and alioea.
The' show in fowls this year was
fully up to isey former occasien; and
many of the birds were: spleodid speci-
mens of their respective tweeds.
The Concert.
The entertaininent in the hall on the.
first evening of the show was the best
ever given uneer the auspieea 'of the
Society. .The programme opened
shortly after ejhi &crock anl during,
the whop evening the large audience
was treated to an almo4t continual
musical treat by the splendid brass
band of the Lucknow Vire Brigade;
the St. Helens string hand, and the
singing of choruses bv a number of our
leading vocalists YhosetaXing part
were Miss Lalla Berry, Miss Emma

SPEEDING IN THE RING.
As usual 'the speeding in the ring
contests proved to be the most exciting
and interePting events of the day, and
throughout the whole contest the
sides of the track were thickly
thronged by thousands of eager ;spec-
tators; all anxious to get as close to
the course as possible. The first event
on the programme was the two year
old trot. There were three entries,
including two Garfield pacers owned
by Mr. A. Roe, of Wingham, and a
Chicago Volunteer filly belonging to
Mr. W. Hood, of this village.' The
heats were half mile. best two in three
but the Wingham colts had itall their
own ,way and took both heats without
any difficulty.
The open trot was undoubtedly •the
best event of the day and proved to be
the finest contest ever given on the
track. The heats .were one mile, bot
two in three, and considering the
heavy condition the course the time
made was exceedingly good. There
were four entries, but as it was only
open to trotters, one of the numbers
"Grey Frank," owned by Powell Bros.
of Drayton, who has a pacing record
of 2:30; was not allowed to start. The.
otherentrieswere "Royal Abdallah"
owned by Mr. W. J. idttle, of this:
village, "Happy. Lucy" owned by
Jonathan Miller, Ben Miller, and
"Jack the Ripper," owned by T.. Wil-
son, of Kincardine. After one or two
false. starts the horses got away well
'together and. from. start to finish it
Was a , very pretty race, and as the
great stallion came thundering down
the herne_stretch a feW yards ahead of
the speedy mare he was loudly cheered,
and Jack tne Ripper barely escaped
the distance post. . In the second
heat Mr. Little's stallion again took
the lead, which he pluckily held to the
finish, and without 'a break passed
in front. of the Judges' stand, fully a
length tibheat1 of his fast rival.

Time -2:51 --2:501.
In the:three year old trot there,
were seven entries, one of, them, a two
year old bay ':Garfield" colt owned by
Mr. A. Roe, of Wingham, entering
under protest. It took considerable
time to get them to start, but when
once off it was soon 'apparent tliet
only three of thein were 'in the face":
and when the little two year old flew
pal the jUdges, followed by ,the
Wilkes, stallion belonging .to Mr. J.
Miller 2nd, and the "Revenge"
owned by Mr. J. Grenache, of this
village,3rd, the other our had • not
'readied the "distance pot," and they.
//were cor,sequently sha-, out. The
'second and third 'heats were only.
repiititions of the first and although
the stallion and filly were pretty even-
ly matched and trotted an exceedingly.
good race, they. were not fast enough
for the Wingham pacer, which we be-
lieve is without, doubt the best two
year old colt in Canada. The race,
however, was ,giVen to Mr. Miller,
with 'Mr. J. Grenache 'second. Tinie,
