This was the first affair of the kind ever held in Clinton but it will .probably be a "hardy annual” in future, The fair was a double header, Clift- ton Model school and seven rural schools, No. I. Stanley, No. 0 Tuck ersmith, Nos, 1, 4 and 5 Huilott and No. 2 Union and No 2 Separate .Hul lett, taking part. All the schools took a keen interest in the fair and the contributions were large, the rural schools excelling in farm pro- ductions but the 'Model school com- ing up in all other classes. The inside exhibit was shown in the rooms of the Agricultural Re- presentative and poultry, live stock, and roots were shown at the Park. The Work of the c h i'1 d r e n in every class was good and very well worth seeing. The needle work, domestic science exhibit, the • collec- tions of woods, weeds, weed seeds, the exhibition of manual work by tine boys, the poultry, stook, grain, roots, etc., made a most creditable showing. The judges .were : Poultry, R. 13. Caldwell, Petrolea ; Roots, Grain, Stock : E, V. Lawson, Goderich, D. .4. Andrews, Lucknow ; . , Domestic Science -Mrs. D. A. Andrews, Luck - now, • Mrs. J. G. Chowen, Clinton ; Parades, Art, Writing, etc. -Dr. J. M. Field, I.P.S., Goderich. The exhibit of roots, vegetables and poultry would put .to shame -many- a township fair. A couple of aeroplanes manufactur- ed by the boys are worthy of special mention, particularly one made by Kenneth • Roberton and Elmer Pais- ley. The rain spoiled the parade and sadly interfered with the games ar- ranged for the afternoon. Mr. Stoners shouldered most of the responsibility regarding the man- agement and has been eme' t n more than busy for the past few weeks looking after .various' fairs throughout the county, Clutton being the tenth._ Mr. H. 'R. Sharp took an active interest in getting14he fair going and Principal Boucle of the Model, school was also a tireless worker. Other business men of Clinton rendered val- uable assistance and all were grati- fied with the results of their efforts. The play in the town hall in the evening by the Murless Players of Seaforth brought out a full house. The Murless Players appeared here before and are sure of a welcome at any time in Clinton. The play, "The Misleading Lady," was entertaining and amusing and was well put on.
