(T1IF: ROYAL WINTER P'.1Ilt)
"Can't 'You Smile For The Camera -man, Stupid?" — Jini
Myers, with that dour expression and the big whip, night be
playing the part of Sinton Legree in "Uncle Tom's Cabin,
Bot Jim is actually just keeping a watchful eye on the porker—
and well he might, as the latter is a Reserve Champion.
Came A Long Way To Strut His Stuff -The Lippizarr horses
from the world -famed. -Spanish Riding School in. Vienna,
Austria caused a sensation at the Royal Winter Fair with
their grace, precision, and almost human intelligence. Mr.
Rozhowansky is the rider, and what the stallion is doing is
called, technically,' a• "levade."
Not The Kind Of Pump You Have To Thaw Out In Zero
Weather—We Hope.—Farm machinery of all sorts was on
display at the Royal, and theonlookers appear to be keenly
interested in the operation of this mechanical pump.

Look Mighty Good From Any Angle -Our Molson's Photographer took this shot from above;
but even a "bird's eye',view fails to dim the attractiveness of these Prize Ontario Apples at
the Royal Winter Fair.
IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE
No photographic survey of Ontario's Fall Fairs would be complete without a visit to The
Royal Winter Fair at Toronto—justly called one of the greatest of its kind in the world.
However, after completeing still another tour of Fall Fairs throughout the Province—
more than 50 of them—we are more firmly convinced than ever of a point that is too often
overlooked. These great 'International" Exhibitions deservedly get a lot of publicity—but
they nevertheless owe their very, existence to the countless men and women in the rural dis-
tricts, the small town and the viIiages who gave so unstintedly of their time and effort—often
under extremely adverse conditions—to make "Fall Fair Time in Ontario" the wonderful
thing it is.
It has been a privilege for our
4
Photographers to visit you; and we sincerely hope to have that pleasure, in the future, again
and again.
Roses In November—It was pretty wintry, at times, outside
the Coliseum, which inay be why Sheila Curry of Haliburton
and her cousin Gerry White seem so pleased at seeing beautiful
roses in full bloom.
Opportunity' Missed—We-were just about to label this picture
"a study in black and white?. or something -of the kind when
the photographer informed us that the rabbits are of the Blue
and Black Dutch vitriety, T. Wragg is the owner and exhibitor
of this champion pair.
"Goosey, Goosey Gander" -Little Diane 1?hilcor is only sixteen months old and probably
doesn't know that those are prize-winning Emden Geese she is gazing at. Nor do the geese
seem to realize that Diane looks like l anside
pri ze-�u inner herself — although slightly on the

Artists And Mode1a Photo-
graphers weren't' the only 'pic-
ture -takers' at the Royal; and
here we see Artists P. Ayers
and his wife doing a bit of
' sketching.
"Let's See You Dance 'Turkey
In The Straw,' Did You Say?
How Shocking!" -The gobbler
looks highly indignant and the
hen hardly less scornful. They
are champions, and appear as
if they realized it only too well:
But maybe Marion Morton is
hnly admiring them, not sug-
meting that they go into their
dance routine.
