This was the 83rd annual presentation of the society and the weatherman co-operated in fine style. The full - half -utile track was in the best of condition and had recently been widened and thoroughly over- hauled. Fast time was made in all the events, but the attraction which your Ful -O -Pep Peed Re- porter felt was outstanding was the Chariot Race, won by Charlie Hill of Hagersville. This event was an "extra" with only two entries. The horses were old race horses, and the going was fast — plenty fast! There were thrills galore as the chariots swept 'round the track. The crowd roared their approval as the charioteers and their entries hit their strides, The dash and zip of this contest would have satisfied even the toughest old Roman Senator's heart. As noted above, the animals used in this race were originally top notch race horses, and there isn't much doubt that these old patricians have more than a nodding acquaintance with that aristocrat of the feed family Ful -O -Pep. The Baby Contest was another event which proved to be a ctowd puller. There .were more than 30 contestants, and to your inex- perienced reporter each one seemed to rate first place. In all the Fairs covered by your Ful -O - Pep Reporter up to the time of TS writing, the Milverton Exhibition has been the first one to boast a Baby Contest, As a result no experience in this line can be claimed by the writer. To the un- tutored eye it appeared that the wisdom of Solomen would be re- quired to pick the winner in this event, Mr. Hume Clutton, well-known cattle breeder and judge, also had his hands full judging the live- stock, Robert Mueller of Whit- ney Fauns placed first, and David Smith stood first for showman- ship, in the Boys' Calves event, Both lads were from Milverton and are to be congratulated for their fine showing, Cattle men as a group are feed conscious to the 'nth degree, and with good reason, They face a situation which is not uncommon these days. The demand for high quality feed has so far outstripped production. Ful -O -Pep Feed is in greater demand than ever these days because the consistent high quality of the ingredients has not been lowered to meet the ever- iticreasing demand, This is im- portant to all livestock men, for quality is even more important than (inanity when felling cltanlp- ions. The name Ful -O -Pep on any bag of feed is synonymous with quality, One of the finest express teams seen at any Fair was that owned by John J. ICreis of Mitchell. Mr, 1Creis won first prise with his snappy entry. Photo by Ful -O -Pep Photographer. TWO-YEAR OLDS — Chestnut Derby, owned by W.

This Week at Tavistock Tavistock was the scene of much hustle and bustle and the 96th annual showing of the Fall Fair seemed to be better planned than in previous years. Mr, Rudy, the Fair Secretary and his wife; certainly deserve congratulations for helping to make it such a success, Entries were numerous this year, but the attendance was down. .Undoubtedly the Toronto Exhibition, and the fact that the crops were three weeks late had much to do with this. The crowds were treated to a spectacle not features on the programme when a plane piloted by M. Hicks, ex. R.C.A.F pilot from Tilsonburg, crashed on a field adjoining the Fair Grounds. The plane did not make the take off and the two passengers, Robt. Ratz and Warden Dean of Strat- ford escaped with a mild shaking up. The field front which the plane was taking off was furrowed and your observer came to the conclusion that over confidence was responsible for the accident. s R ST S3 # 2 tet Prig,—Mfrs, Lama Mdlule, 5,13. 1, Calumet. 1'.V, 2nt1 Prizc--Mrs. George Olnn- vIlle, 5.11, 1, Nowonstle, Ontario. a1'd Prise --Aurum ❑lanae, Saints-Anses, Co.
