Your Ful-O•Pep reporter regrets
Jack of space to deal fully with all
the interesting and instructive fea-
tures observed at the fall fairs
covered this week.
Milverton—Milverton Fall Fair had
the finest baby show we have seen
for some time Registered nurses
volunteered to Judge the show and
over thirty toddlers were entered.
The Little German Band, in at-
tendance, put on a spirited and
entertaining show, and an equally
spirited performance was pot an by
the women, who showed fine sports-
manship in the "Cow Calling Con-
test."
The most interesting of the horse
show events this year was the IIeavy
Class. For once the sturdy "draft-
ers" got their full share of attention,
The main attraction at the cattle
show seemed to be the Black and
Whites and there were many splen-
did entries.
Aylmer—In keeping with the re-
cords established by other Fairs this
year Aylmer Fair, opened by P.C.
m e to b e r, Pletcher Thomas, had
several records to be proud of.

Among the Most Exciting Events at the fair was the knock -down-and-out event. This always
supplies plenty of thrills, with the riders taking some dangerous spills. Shown above is Robert

Veteran Rider Wins Heat in 228 Class
-noto by Ful -O -Pep Photographer
75 -Year -Old Racer, Mr. Alex Belore, of Elmira, is shown with
his twenty-first racing horse. He has outlived twenty of them.
Best horse of the lot, he says, was his famous Doctor Bee, with
whom he started 28 races in 1922, In that year he won 22 and
was never out of the money, taking in over $3,000 in prizes. A
racing man for thirty years, Mr. Belore is not one to talk about
"the good old days". He says that horses are much the same
now as then. The records set today are mainly possible, he
believes, because of the improved tracks. His experience with
the drivers is that they are all good chaps and especially the
young ones of today. It is interesting to note that he beat a
good many of them in the 2.28 class and won his heat hands
down.
