THE NORTHWESTERN FAIR
A Grand Success,—Pine Weather
and a Large Atbendance.
The Northwestern Fair, held in
Wingham on Tuesday and Wednesday,
was one of the best shows held by the
Turuberry Agricultural Society. The
exhibits in the hall were judged on
Tuesday and in the evening, notwith-
standing the weather was ewe, a large
number availed themselves of the
opportunity of examining the articles
on exhibition and hearing the Bell
factory band, which furnished appro-
priate musk during the evening. On
Wednesday, the weather was all that
could be desired., and there was a very
Iarge crowd in attendance, and all
appeared to be well satisfied with ,tile
show. The show was in advance of
former years in'nurnber and quality
of exbibits, especially was this notice-
able in live stock. The show of horses
was excellent, and the,competitoin was
keen in almost every section. The
special prize of a $20 set of single
harness, given by Mr Chas Knechtel,
of this town, for the best . driving
horse, .brought out a large number of
fine animals, the red ticket being
awarded to Mr John Harris, of Blue.
vale, and the second to Dr Jas Mac--
"donald, of this toren. Fine herds of
cattle were exhibited by Messrs Jas
Elliot, of Turnberry, and S D Well•
wood, of East Wawauosh, the former
showing Holsteins and the latter
iereferds. Sheep were well represent..
ed by pens of Leicesters, Shropshires,
&c, a decided improvement being
noticeable in this class of stock. The
'show of swine was not large, but some
fine animals were exhibited. The
poultry exhibit was the largest by, all
odds ever seen in Wingham, and con-
siderable well bred stock came under
the consideration of the judge. The
honors were mainly divided between
Messrs W H. McCracken, Wm Hen,
derson, Ohas Henderson, W Taylor,
Jas Harrison and R Elliott.
The exhibits in the inside depart-
ment were far in excess of former
years, especially in the vegetable and
root department. There was a large
display of turnips,' the largest ever
exhibited in this locality. In the fruit
department there was a grand set out,
the .prizes being very evenly destribut-
ed among the exhibitors. The vege-
table department was something extra.
The principal prizes were Carried off
Toy W Taylor, l) MVlcliinlay and W 11
MeOracken, D McKinlay deserves
special mention for the large display
ho made in all kinds of vegetables.
The grain department was good, some
of the fall wheat,when tested,weighing
Gd lbs to the bushel. The art depart.
merit would not Piave disgraced a show
having greater pretentions to perfece
tion than the North'Western Pair.
The majority of the prizes were taken
by Miss N Shaw, W F 13rockenshire
and D Malnnes. , The ladies' departe
trent was simply superb, and baffles J
ct ription. In this department, Mrs m
r i ii1GlCc.rtzie, of Teescva,ter,and 141rs
showed that the. people of Wiughani
have .a love for the beautiful. Mr D.
L °even, representing the 0 P R Co,
had ou tjxhibition a grand display of
( grains, etc, grown in Manitoba. He
displayed to the public the grain in
the straw, and such straw as only
Manitoba GEE produce, of that bright
amber flue, which is seldom aeon in
Ontario. The various grains were
plurnp,bright in color and extra heavy,
There were all the different grasses
common to.that province, and a bunch
of ivi13 peas wbioh seemed to catch
every lady's eye, es it very mueh re^-
sembled an 'ornamental straw Mat.
The mots he had on • exhibition allow
the great fertility of the soil.
Mr T H Boss had on exhibition the
famous Davis Seeiug Maclaine, He
was assisted in running these machines
by Mr Mulheren, general agent for
the firm, and they produced samples
of the most beautiful work that was
ever seen in Wingbana. These mai.
chines rapidly gaining in favor and
alway give entire satisfaetion, They
are sy to run and so simple that a
o ii • can use them.
r Wm Gannett had on exhibition..
a large number of implements mantle
factored by Messrs Frost & Wood, of
Smith's Fall, of which he is the local
agent. The implements made by this
firm are taking a front place in the
country.
Mr Wm Dore of. the Wingham
Carriage Factory,showed a top buggy,
an open buggy, and two road carts,
which were greatly admired.
Mr J B Cummings, of town, had oil
exhibition a fine piano -case organ,
several sewing machines and a dough
mixer, which no• • doubt will meet
withe the hearty approval of the
ladies.
Messrs Alex and Robt Galbraith
had some very flue specimens of writ-
ing on exhibition,which deserve special
mention for their beauty and fine
penmanship.
