eign, and the interior arrangement is
admirably adapted for show purpoaee
and le very commodious. On the Wen
side, averlookiug the grounds, is a
large balcony, whioh seemed to be a
favorite spot, if we are to judge by
the way it was patronized on that
day. Altogether, the Society have one
of the fioeet hallo we have seen, and
they are to be congratulated OR their
eoterpriae, and the taste whioh they dis-
played in the deeigo of the building.
As was fitting on eaoh an ocoaeion,
the indoor show exoelled that of any
previous year, and in every depart
went there was an apparent desire
to have it of the beet, Good as wan
this part of the exhibition, the show
in the field exooliod it, and wg feel
that we are quite within the hounds
when we say that never in tbie
oouuty was there a better Mime of
horses and cattle than that of the
Braoeofe phew thio year. Everything
wee in keeping ; the weather remain-
ed line, the orawd wag large, the
gate reoeipte amounted to over 9700,
and every person seemed to enjoy the
show and toe day'e outing. The Strat-
ford Bund wag in etbendanae, and were
very liberal with their line musfo
throughout the day. Piper McDonald,
of Wingbam, was there too, and hie
little daughter, the accomplished little
step dancer, gave an exhibition that
was appreciated to the full. Another
pretty feature was the fancy drill by
u number of little girls from the Ethel
public eohool, who went through eeveral
intricate m000000ree with perfect pre.
oieion, Besides all this, there were
bottle ramie and foot ranee for boyo and
girla, so that the Society gave a mighty
big programme for the day, and it was
carried through without a bitch.
