plated all the good gifts of Provtdeaca it

which we lire. He was glad of this op
porinnity to brine forward, in presence
mf the Hon. !finial'', of Agriculture a
claim upon his Government oo behalf of
the NorthWestern Exhibition, and it
was this: The Provincial Exhibition had
clearly passed its day of usefulness and
the =10,000 annually granted to it by
the Government must be discontinued.
He contended that it ought to be distri-
buted amongst the fain such as this and
throughcut Ontario. The larger fairs at
Turu.,to acid one or two other places
(.ed not reach the masses, nor did the
merely local shows meet the require
moots of the people. It was such fairs
as this we tonight inaugurate that the
people want. As a great educational
mediate, giving suggestions for improve-
ments, and stimulating to greater profi-
ciency in agriculture and manufactures,
and reaching of the masses of the people
such fairs u this eminently dammed the
support cf a wealthy and paternal Gov-
ernment. He claimed that the =10,000
hitherto given to the Provincial ought to
be divideamoogst this and other simi-
lar central fain, and was confident the
Northwestern Exhibition would get its
die share Concluding, he said he con-
gratulated the people of Goderich upon
the .access of this enterprise. Croakers
and faultfinders would take a back seat.
Any man who said that those who were
managing the public affairs of the town
lacked euergy did not know what he was
talking about. This was only the first step;
greater things were to follow next year,
when our other local improvements
would be completed, and we would ere
long be able to my that we had not only
he finest fair but also the finest town inm
Northwestern Ontario. He asked of ex-
hibitors indulgence for any shortoo-
ngs—they would be remedied next year
To visitors he said we would offer them
much better fair next year. To all he
"tended a hearty welcome, and • cot-,
dial invitation to come again to the

The Directors of the Northwestern
Exhibition haring,tbrough the generosity
of the people of the town of Ooderich
s.aceeded in securing the sae of these
very commodious and oonvenient build-
ings and grounds, have decided to spare
no effort in mating the annual fair,
which it is their intention to hold here,
more extensive and attractive than any
which has yet been held in this county,
and eventually to create one of the fore-
most institutions of the kind in the pro-
visos.
With this end in view they are deter-
mined to unite in every earnest endeavor
to promote the interests of the Associa-
tion which they represent, to afford an-
nually incres.tog advantages to the ex•
hibitor, and to do everything in their
power to interest aod attract visitors
from the snrroundieg country.
Owing to want of time it has not been
possible this year to make the various
amegementa as complete and perfect as
the directors would desire ; but as this
hu been generally understood by the
public, it is to be hoped doe allowance
may be made for all shortcomings and
by next year the a000ramodatlon both
fur the exhibitor and visitor, will be
much more perfect and satisfactory.
The Directors feel that they are to be
eoneratolated upon the ooasaion of the
opening of their annual exhibition, by
the head of the Department of Agricul-
ture of the Province, and they desire me
to extend to you, both in your oiial
