After the somewhat discouraging
appearance last Thursday—first clay
of the Fair owing to the frequent
showers (Alain and the cloud -decked
sky, the officials of Last Huron
Society were made to rejoice when
01d Sol shone out so benignly Friday
morning and probabilities betokened
a fair day of real choice weather for
the Fait'. The sun wits warm and the
breeze balmy and despite the muddy
state of the roads people' began to
pour into town early. Secretaries
were busy taking entries for stock
exhibits and the various committees
were on the alert to have everything
in apple pie order on the Agtieulture
Part where the Union Jack was proud-
ly flying from the' flag staff of the
well filled "Palace". •
Three noticeable features of the in-
side exhibition was the quantity and
quality of choice exhibits in theLadies'
Work ; the splendid showing in the
root and vegetable section ; and for an
off year the large entry of fruit. These
girls constituted the good-looking con-
tingent :—Iona Steiss, Fanny Grasby,
Myrtle Grasby, Maggie McNabb,
Mamie 'Cameron, Attdie Sparliug,
Hazel McDonald, Lucy. Alderson,
Maggie Perrie, Millie Alderson, Made-
lene Baker, Lola Steiss, Marie Long,
Elsie Sperling, and Thelma Smalldon.
Possibly the most exciting event of
the Fair was the Tug of War between
Morris and Greytownships. Ten men
ou a side, captained by Reeves Taylor
and Livingston, set the battle in array
111 &large raped circle. It was a tense
few minutes as these -20 stalwarts
measured their strengh on the rope.
In the fist pull it required 15 minutes
Ln ive'the honors to Morrie but. the
second trial rewarded the same team
in about a minute. The teams were
composed of the following ;—Morris-
Cappt. Reeve Neil Taylor -7n°. and
Robt, Brown, Jno. Watt, Jno. and
Henry Hopper, Jno.' Stewart, A.
Currie, W. McMichael, W. Sellers and
Menno Jackson. Grey—Capt. Reeve
ORANBROOK SCHOOL DRILL
and other well represented depart-
ments of this part of the Fair were
duly admired, criticised or compared
with former years or other Shows ac-
cording to the mood of the odlooker,
'but on the whole the display was most
creditable to all concerned.
The Judges got to work on Friday
shortly after dinner and for several
hours bad a busy time There was a
large class of horses especially 1 in the
lighter breeds. In cat le D. Milne, J.
Speir, J.•Orerar•, E. Garvin, W. Arm-
strong and 3. Welsh were the chief
exhibitors of thoro'-brads ; Jno.Broad-
foot & Son and Wm. Bryans laying
claim to the lion's share of the awards
in excellent grades. R. L. McDonald
and $o. J. Sanderson compared flocks
in Leicester sheep with dandy speci-
mens and A. Stevenson, the; well
known Sheol). breeder, had it all his
own way. In swine R. Nichol, James
Speir; A. F. Davidson, J. S. Cowan
and W. Armstrong made meritorious
exhibits. W. Garter, the well known
poultry fancier, was the only outside
opposition the local breeders bad to
meet. The prize list on page 6 will
show how the awards were distribut-
ed in the various classes according to
the opinion of the Judges.
Au extra effort, owing to Thurs-
day's rain, was necessary to get the
mile- track in shape for the three
speeding events and the athletic sports
but by 8p..m. the course was 'fairly

more thana passing notice. With
one or two exceptions they are all of

likenesses, but they show a roundness
incl eoftuess of light and shade -pro-
duced by correct lighting and
delicasy of flesh effect -rarely seen,.
and seldom surpassed, which—if we
dare say it -in some cases are slight-
