The annual Fall Fair known as " The
World's Fair" under the auspices of
the Hay Branch Agricultural Society,

up to the usual standard in all but a
few respects, the fruit and roots being
deficient, owing to failure in ems -
The show of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, was exceeding fine both in num-

Notes by the Way.
We left you, I think, Mr, Editor in
London. And being there over Sun.
day and being of a very religious turn
of mind, you go to church in the after-
noon, at Westministor Abbey. And
you wander in the great door, take off
your hat and wait around till some
clerical looking geutieman in robes
beckons the crowd forward and yen go
up and turn off into another aisle and
are shown a seat right among the choir.
And the great organ peals its thunder
right under your head And you sit
in a richly cushioned seat all by your-
self, because each seat is seperated from
all others by carved pilasters from roof
to floor, and you find yourself in a little
alcove, on either side of which is a seat
exactly like the one you occupy. And
the chapel (there being many chapels
in the Abbey) is all angles and a faint'
light unmes from the stained windows
above your head -100 feet. And the
service begins and a clergyman at one
angle reads the service in a sing -song
tone, and at all the other angles and in
the aisles other gentlemen in gowns, re•
spond in tones stentorian. And they
sing and pray and read and respond
ad libitum. And taking observations
you see a stout gentleman with a bald
head and a shaved English counten
ante, sitting high up in an altar to
your left, at his feet a subdued clergy-
man, and service over, the subdued
gentleman arises and taking a silver
shield walks up the aisle to the most
prominent angle, followed by the bald
headed clergyman, and the bald -head
ed gentleman mounts into another al-
tar and gives out the text by the light
of six wax candles and you find that
he is a resident dean going to preach.
Then, Sir, a few days later being out
Westminster way and passing the
Abbey you go in and wander all over
its vast preseincts.
And you wander from room to room,
and see the crumbling stones, and the
grandest marble sculpture in the world,
you see the tombs and the statuary
and the Latin and English inscriptions
of all the dead and gone Kings and
Queens, and of all the heroes, poets,
statesmen, doctors, phllanthrophists and
renowned men of England and the col-
onies during the last 1000 years, who
have won distinction enough to be
burried in the historic spot.
And you see the old parchment and
old manuscripts by which the old Kings
made concessions -to the Abbey. And
the great marble figures enthrall you.
So many, so different, so perfect, you
find hundreds wandering to and fro like
yourself, for the Abbey is never empty
in daylight. And at last surfeited you
withdraw. And being out city way,
you wander into the Bank of England
enclosure, and see the great fellows in
,gorgeous uniforms, directing . each
separate person at which door to enter
to transact bis particular business.
And the cocked hats and the plush
livery impress you with a sense of the
importance of the Bank of England.
Around the Bank and Ludgate hill
and Lombard street and Thread Needle
street is called the City and the crush
is awful, Hundreds of thousands of
fine looking men in silk hats, rush to
and fro, all in a hurry and you wonder
what the d-1 they are all doing.
Every street, alley, yards, place, field,
road (because all those are everywhere
in London) in this locality is a Bank or
counting house; and vast millions of
pounds change hands there daily—nay
hourly. They have money to burn,
Sir, in London. Only you see as a rule
only gold, silver and coppers,
Y&u are eternally on the move in
London, you cannot rest, you want to
see London, but, Sir, if you walk the
balance of your life you will never eon
all the intricacies of London and
London streets, its highways and by-
ways. And you wander out of the
known prescincts, and get lost and as
there are no right angles to London
streets, but all acute or obtuse ones, no
wonder you get lost. And being self-
reliant by this time you will not condes-
ceud to ask a policeman, and eventual-
ly turn up all right, But you went
down stone alleys not 23, feet wind and
you wandered down great squares at
the other end of which was no visible
outlet, but round a corner silk hats
were constantly appearing and passing
you and you turn an angle and pass
out through a stone arch in which two
men could not pass into a street or
lane beyoud. And you see a lot of
business gentlemen rushing in and out
of a house door and the spirit ofexplor-
ation being on you, you rush in also,
and passing through the passages of a
private House, to the back yard, in the
back door of another private house,
through its passage to a street beyond.
And no one pays the slightest attention
to you, and you find through those pri-
vate houses is a public thoroughfare.
And then, Sir, you have wandered;down
stone alleys as crooked as a dog'eleg',
only more so. And you fled scraggy
men and ill dressed women, sitting on
stone door steps, smoking and drinking
beer, and you assume the non chalance
of a Londoner, and they molest you:not
and finding no apparent end to the in-
fernal alley after wandering a east
distance, you consider discretion the
better part of valor and hastily retrace
y dur steps, And, Sir, you sit quietly
down on a seat in a beautiful garden
by the river to smoke and rest. And
in a moment the buzz and whizz and
trembling of a train anuses you, and
you look all around and see no train,
but you find it is an underground train
just rushed past right under your feet.
Wherever you go in London every
house and hotel has rooms justling
away out under the street,aud beneath
the brick and stone surface, London is
a vast honey -comb. You go down a
couple of flights of stone steps (no other
steps in London town) into an under-
ground Ry. station and you pay your
penny or threepence and being direct-
ed by great signs as to which way to
go down further, to go East or West,
you go down and wait a minute for a
train; you jump in, a guard closes all
doors and you whizz oil' into dark tun-
nels, run out to light again at next
station, jump out, and off the train
whizzes, 10 to 16 coaches on a train,
two tracks on each railway—one for
each direction—a light in each com•
partment and a paper above drops back
after leaying each station telling the
name of the next, They run like light-
ning and a stop of say 30 seconds at
each station. Every train and station
is full of people. It makes no difference -
where you go in London, it is people,
people, people everywhere. And amidst
it all, a feeling of intense lonliness
and insolation comes over you, just as
if you were in a vast desert. Thoughts
of home and friends of well-known faces
and places come back to you irresistibly
and you find, Sir, that like a great
booby you are nearly home sick. That
feeling of being no nee to anybody,
you try to shake it off, ted determine
to go for a long ride oi, nus -top, out to-
wards some country part where you
will see a green field again and get
out'aof the throng, even for an hour.

Tired, -nervous, Sleepless
Men and women—how gratefully they
write about Hood's Sapsaparilla. Cue -
helpless and discouraged, having lost
all faith in medicines, now in good
health and " able to do my own work,"
because Head's Sarsaparilla has power
to enrich and purify the blood. and
make the weak strong—this is exper-
ednce of a host of people.
Hood's Pills are the best family
cathartic and liver medicine. Gentle,
reliable, sure.
