Indeed this resort ap- pears to be well patronized by people from all parts of the surrcunding country. No doubt many citizens of .Exeter are anticipating a pleasant day at the lake on civic holiday. Lightning. This summer has been remarkable in thia section for the comparative absence of lightning. But now when the barns are full in the time for the electricity to do its mischief, An emp- ty barn seems to offer but little.temp- tation to the electric fluid: With crops inch are ibis year and barns literally crammed with' the fruits of the earth, farmers whose insurance polices have expired should renew them without delay.

Announcements of the date of haft ing, amount of prizes, dm are placard- ed in conspicuous places in this dis- trict, and the prospeota for this popu- lar institution ware never brighter than they are this year. It has the entire northern and western peninsu- las from which to draw its competi- tors, and we feel safe in playing that it will be one of the greatest, if not actually the most comprehensive ag. ricultural exhibition ever held in Canada. The association offers 17,- 000 in prizes—an excess of $2,000 over last year. Admirers of this in- stitutino have given over $1,049 this year Re against $862 Iaat year, The list of prizes in all departments has been greatly increased. Don't forget to attend. Base Ban. On Tuesday last an exciting game of base ball was played on the agri- cultural grounds between nine married men and the same number of un- married men. The game lasted near- ly four hours, but during all that time the interest of the spectators was in - term, and perhaps the most amusing and attractive feature of the whole was the pitching of the "vast youth." The weather being intensely hot, he so belaboured himself that be threw off clouds of fog and smoke like a ateam thresher. The "vast youth" is without doubt the champion pitcher of the Dominion. The betting was heavy, as may well be imagined from the Boors -63 to 24 in favor of the bachelors, and it is said that the "vast youth" "roped in" a large sum. The result of this match will, ibis thought put a damper on the matrimonial market for a time, as the . naen who enjoy single blessedness proved so much superior totheir married oppo- nents. Mr. James Weekes noted in the important position of umpire, and decided all disputes fairly. Brevities. The salt' well company . are re- building 'their furnaces.
