Monday Sept. 14th was the opening of the Hay Agricultural Fair. The fore part of the first day showed signs of rain and about 10 o'clock it came down quite heavily and did not cease to do so until about the middle of the afternoon. Regardless of the rain far- mers could be seen from all parts mak il g their way to the Fair Ground with their vegetables and other exhibits and soon the village was in a lively condi tion. The exhibits were larger this year than anv other year before and it showed how the Hay Agricultural So- ciety was increasing. The seeond day was all that could be wished for and • large crowds could be seen proceeding into town from all directions. The horse and cattle exhibits were large and as fine a class as could be seen at large fairs. The Tug -of -War between Stanley end Stephen was one of the main attractions and we must cogratu- late Steptien on its success in winning the first prize. Every one who visited the Zurich Fair seemed to be pleased with it and the day closed leaving the impression on everyone's mind that the Fair proyed a success.

A few minutes elapsed for restoration of breath, when they again resumed their positions, and the word was again giv- en, but the pull was nothing compared: to that of the former, it being an easy drawaway for Stephen. Thus thet prize was awarded to Stephen, they having taken both pulls. Prize $20. •Biddulph ()culla Council met pursuant to adjouree- ment in the Town Hall, Leman, Sept, 7th 1891.
