COLBORNE,
I From our own correspondent.
Law Se4:14L. - A most successful
lawn social was held at the reside ice of
Mr %Villiain Young, Colborne, on Thurs-
day. the let of August. Although this
is the busiest tints of the year among
the farming population there was • large
attendsnce. A targe cumber from
Godertch also were present, hunch of
Mr and Mn Young. AU seemingly had
come expecting to have • good time, and
judging from the hearty peals of laugh-
ter and the constant hum of voices, they
were realizing to the utmost their ex-
pectations. t)n comfortable seats which
had been placed under the shade of the
tress the older members of the party eat
arid chatted, while the younger ones had
a good time playing croquet and ether
games. Early to the evening a bounti-
ful table was spread, at which all
eat down. The program, which
was Scotch, was good throughout
and elicited hearty applause from
the anthem*, many of whom were
Scotch. The order during the ren-
dering of the program was all that
eoold be desired and made the dative
of the chairmen light indeed. So true to
its character of a Mcotch onneert was it,
that a number were heard to remark
that they onold almost fancy themselves
once more in the Land of the Heather.
The protasis amounted to $42.00,
whieh will be meed in beautifying, the
ehureh at Smith's Hill.
TORONTO'S GREAT EXHIBITION.
;To be Greater and artier than Ever -Tress
arpl Mb to VW.Then is perhaps not a city on this
! eoutu►ent that has made mere rapid pro-
eress during the past tett years than the
City of Toronto, and it 5 still going
ahead Its population during that period
has advanced (rem eighty thousand in
1879 to one hundred lied eighty thous-
and to 1889, being au average increase
of ten thousand a year. But extra-
ordinary ea this great pn sperity may ap-
pear, it is not more se, than the success
which has attended the estabitshment of
the great Agricultural and Industrial
Exhibition,which is hold annually in that
city, and which during the saute period
has reached a point in magnitude far
beyond the meat sanguine expectations
of its promoters. The attendance of
visitors at this Exhibition, which in 1879
was about ninety thousand, has steadily
increased each year until last year it
reached over two hundred and tifty
thousand. The number of exhibitors
has also proportionately increased, and
the Indications are -that the Exhibition
fur the present year, which is to be held
from the 9th to the 21st of September,
will be greater and better than ever.
Although the buildings on the Turonte
Fair Grounds are already far m..re
numerous and commodious than any in
the country. the Anocistion is expend-
ing ever 820000 again this year in pr. -
vidine increased accommodation in the
way of new stables on the most improved
and modern plans, a now poultry build-
ing and many other additions which they
consider necessary to meet the require-
ments of the Fair. They fully realize
the fact that they cannot stand still,thst
their patrons want something :'reater and
better every year, with all that is new
and interesting in the way of inventions
to be found on this ointment, and this
is what they apt eh determined to give
then/. This is really the People's Exhi-
bition. It is got, as many suppose, con-
trolled by a stock company, but by
gentlemen who give it their time and
services for nothing', and their charter
provides that every dollar which is nisei*
out of the show must he expended in
adding toe and improving the grounde
and buildings, so that the country and
general public get the full benefit of
whatever •eststance they may gine the
tn.titutton by their annual patronage In
into
addition the great Fa •ef't

3 ock, Agricultural, Dairy and Ilerticul-
t'iral products, Msnuf ictures of ali kinds,
Fine .tits and Ltdiea' Work, etc , there
w 1! be • much larger programme than
usual of specie! features, of the moat
novel and interesting character th•et it
hu been possible to pr. cure, full par-
ticular e.f which will be given in the
o.tticial poen-amino to be issued shortly.
There will be ate international Dog Show
the second week, and Pain's greet His-
toriosl Scenic produo-tied, the "Burning
of Moscow,' with grand pyrotechnic dis-
plays every evening, and in fact every
day there will be plenty to see at this
great Exposition that will be instructive,
immune and entertaining. Specially
low rat -'s will prevail on all railways
during the two weeks of the Fair. Eo -
tries for exhibits in all departments must
ne made before August 17th. Canada
has in this Exhibition an institution that
the country may well feel proud of and
take an interest in, as it is one of the
best on this continent, and those who
hare visited many of the larger fairs on
the other side of the border readily ad-
mit that it will be many years before
they can reach the position of or begin
to compare with the Toronto show. If
our readers contemplate a holiday trip
this seas.sn, they will ba afforded a good
opportunity of making it an enjoyable
one if they reserve it for the time of the
Exhibition.
