Another Splendid Success,
The Society Fn1Iy Sustainsits Former
Reputation -A Large Crowd in At.
tendance.-L'ully 5000 People on the
Grounds. -Gate Receipts Amount-
ing to 1$600. -.-The lOxIsibits were
Many and of a Righ. Standard,
With the advent of the months of
fairs, perhaps there is no other gather-
ing held in the rural districts of Wes-
tern Ontario that is looked forward to
with greater pleasure by a larger num-
ber of people than the fair held here
annually, Not only has it been the
means of infusing new life yearly into
agricultural pursuits, but has another
claim of being the annual reunion of
friends. Farmers, from the nature of
their;, occupation, have not the time for
mingling with each other, but our fair
affords that opportunity. Each reear-
ring exhibition is made the occasion for
the exchange of greetings of old friends
who also meet to form new acquaint-
ances.
The fair of 1895, which was held on
Monday and Tuesday this week was
well up to the standard, maintaining
its reputation of being one of the best
fairs of the West. This success is
doubtless due to the interest taken in
it, not only by the community, but by
the election of directors who are con
versant with the agricultural fairs and
know their business thoroughly. The
number of entries compare more than
favorable with last year and the excel-
lence of the exhibits is fully up to that
of former years. The space devoted
to roots, vegetables and grain was well
filled and doubtless the best display
made for some time. The visitors' at-
tention was not only attracted by the
extensive display in this department,
but by the more than ordinary size of
the various articles.
The "Palace" has an attraction of its
own without which the exhibition
would have been incomplete. Novelty
in design seemed to have received a
fresh impulse while a goodly supply of
articles, useful as well as ornamental,
found a place. The fruit exhibit,
though far from being up to former
years, was a fair representation, cou-
sidering the almost complete failure of
the crop in this section • In dairy. pro-
ducts and home manufactories the.dis-
play was elaborate.
Our fair throughout Western Ontario
is noted for its superior class of horses
and Tuesday's exhibit more than main
tained its just reputation. The horse -
ring is always the leading attraction
and like former years the ring was sur-
rounded by eager watchers, .
There were two horse racing events.
and both were:particularly iuteresting
In the "Fastest Trotters" contest there
were only two entries but being well
matched the three heats were watched
with undivided attention. Following
is the summary: -

Time : 2.421; 2.391; 2.391;

NOTES.
The thanks of the visitors• -acrd di-
rectors are due the weather clerk for
the bright September clay.
The horse owned by Messrs Snell
White, which took the lst prize in the
first race, is a noble little beast and did
her work excellently. She was sold
the same day of the fair for the snug
sum of $e00.
In the green trot W. Hadgin's horse,
"Amber H." was run into by "Prince
Victor" which resulted in wrecking
Mr. Hodgios' race cart. Mr. Hodgins
fortunately escaped without injury.
"Amber R" caused considerable excite-
ment for a time by running away.
Prince Victor was ruled out of the
race.
During Monday night some mis-
chievous scoundrels, broke into the
shed containing the root, grain and
vegetable exhibit and destroyed sever-
al articles placed there for exbibition,
strewed grain all over the ground and
carried away several water melons.
Probably it is just as well for them that
they were not caught doubtless they
would have been given a free ride to
the County Town.
In the east end of the "Palace" the
Exeter Woollen Mill Co. had an exhibit
which worthily sustains the excellent
reputation already held by the firth.
The blankets in particular were of ex-
tra fine quality and were greatly admir-
ed by those interested in that class of
goods. Other articles of theirown manu-
facture were equally good and command-
ed the attention of the masses that were
continually crowding through the build-
ing.. This firm has a reputation for re-
liability, and this fact should not be
overlooked by the general public who
are on the lookout for goods in their
line. Merit is worth patronizing.
In the Northeast corner of the main
building is a display- of Photography
that would do justice to a "Western"or
"Provincial" Fair. The exhibit is that
of Mr. Jos. Senior's, our fellow citizen,
who is possessed of the true artistic in-
stinct, and is keeping up to date with
all the latest developements relating
to photographic aid, Among the dis-
play of all sizes of photos we noticed
many of the "Carbonate or Matt sur-
face" a paper representing the old Eng-
lish steel engraving. At the present
era of photography this style is fast be
coming the most popular, and the great
majority of professional photographers
are earnestly after it. The photos by
the platino process keep longer in the
reproduction, can be easily cleaned and
the surface does not become scratched
after being in an album, like the polish-
ed photo. Mr. Senior has skill and
taste in posing his subjects that a city
photographer might well enyey, whith-
er it be a group of three or twenty, a
little babe or a person sinking into the
sear and yellow leaf of old age. The
exhibit was splendid and admired by
all as they passed by.
Indians Killed in a Storm.
The Indian families on their way
from Southampton to Kettle Point pitch-
ed their tents in Taylor's grove, on the
lake bank, eight miles from Zurich on
Tuesday night. During the night a
severe thunderstorm passed over, and
blew down a Large dry tree, which felt
over on one of the tents, instantly kill-
ing one of the Indians and his wife,
and severely wounding their daughter,
a girl of 18 years of age. Early Wed-
nesday morning Dr, Buchanan wail sent
for, and d`reesed the girl's wounds, ' She
was afterwards taken to the residence.
of Mr. 'Phomas Turnbull, and although
in a critical condition, hopes are enter-
tained of her recovery, There was a
fourth person in the tent, but she es
caped uninjured; The names of the
Unfortunate people are not obtainable,
but the woman is a Sister of JohnCrowe,
