I AM not sure whether .1 have alluded in
these letters to the excellent work clMie by
Mia L. 'Woolierton, of Grimsby; Dchninion.
Superintendent of Iorticultate: .The work
of the fruit Men has been anything but
enviableepasiing in a great degree to the
defective cold storage, but kr. Woo:Iverton
has managed to make and keep. the Do-
minion fruit exhibit) one of the meet attrac-
tive on the grounds. It 18 no light
most to any Man _to be recognized' in the
white city as an.. authority in any -idepart-
Ment, where expert* from all the World are
gathered' together, and I take a great deal
of :pleasure in recording . the fact
that Mr. Woolverton and -Mr. A.
H. Pettit,- also .of • Grimsby, have
been honored by behig appointed Vice -
"President and Secretary respectively of the

In this co:motion I would again urge oa.
Ontario fruit growers generally the import
-
fence of co-pperating•cordially with the cam/
mission in sending supplies of fresh fruit for,
exhibition during the season. The direst
benefitmay not be apParent, but it the good
impression our !Leta has made already fa
susbabted, :the range over which it is dis- •
tributed wilibe enormonsly increased, and -
every fruit grower will get his Sim°. The.
Government provides packages and .payl
expenses of transportation., -Canadlauagen-
erally need to ba better acquainted with the
y OITROus FRUITS OF CALIFORNIA,.
"Whish are ea of_ the m.esb promlneub
features of the horticultural department.
Oranges • and lemons are here by the
him -tired thousand, and their delicious flavor
and aroma is in most marked contrast to the
insipid stuff' from the Mediterranean that
has hitherto been the ohief source of supply
tor Cenada., The California aieople tell me
they- . intend cultivating the Canadian
market, and they will undoubtedly soon
control the trade that looks for quality.
TIM CROWD
at the fair is increasing, and the daily ad.
missions are now sufficient to -13110V1 -& Wm.
ance over operating expenses. There dew
not seem any disposition as yet to bring
'railway fares down very low, but I would
advise all whocan possibly de sos not to
wait too long,- but to eome now, -when the
weather is not oppressive, when everything
Is at its best, and when the- -crowd is non
excessive. •The additional comfort of
travelling by regular trains will more thee
balance the additional fare. Accommoda-
tions, too; arecheaper and more easily hail
than, they -will be later. There- are thole.
sands of rooms in hotels and private hollows
within walking distance of the fair, to be
had at a dollar a 'day, and .leas if templed

Meals outside the grounds are as reasonable

SOME, of the restaurants are high in priee*
but some are Moderate. Considering every-
thing no one need be afraid -of extortion who
