Grand Showing of Horses
Big Crowd at Dance
The Exeter Fail* held Thursday
of last week was one of the most
successful held in many years. Ideal
weather conditions was a contribut
ing factor. It was neither cold nor
hot, just an ideal day for a fall fair.
It is estimated that oyer three thou
sand persons were scattered ovei’
the grounds. Exhibits in all lines,
particularly live stock, were excep
tionally good and the various con
cessions outnumbered that of most
years.
A feature of the fair was an ad
dress by Mr. J. A. Carroll, Supt. of
Agricultural Societies who formal
ly opened the fair. He was introduced by James A. Shearer, representa
tive of the department of agricul
ture for Huron. <Mr. Carroll em
phasized the important place that
agricultural societies have filled over
a long period of years and the lead
ership they have given in a com
munity. To a large extent nations
are dependent on agriculture espec
ially during war years and he ap
pealed to the farmers to carry on
with their very best efforts.
The Exeter band provided splen
did music and Frank Santry, of
Toronto, gave an excellent exhibi
tion of juggling.
The showing of horses was pro
bably the finest that has ever been
seen on the Exeter show grounds
and as one authority stated it would
do credit to any of the larger ex
hibitions. A large interested crowd
watched the judging which lasted
until well after six o'clock. In cattle,
sheep and pigs there was a splendid
showing.
Inside the arena there was an
other splendid showing. The size of
the building lends itsell's to a better
display of articles and it takes a lot
of stuff to fill it. The showing of
roots and of grain and seeds was ex
ceptionally good.
In the evening an old time dance
was held with music provided by
MoNicol’s orchestra. An exceptional
ly large crowd was in attendance.
The race results were as follows:
Girl’s race under 12, Marion Co
wan, Marion Hodgert, Margaret Ho
garth; girls bicycle^ race, under 12,
Margaret Hogaytli-rshirley Appleton,
Marion Cowan; boy’s bicycle race,
Ronald Gollings, Roy Kirk, Elmer
Passmore.
