TIM SPRING FAIR,
The elements will persist in being
unkind to the Clinton Spring Fair--
on. Tlmrsday last a little more so
than usual, That is there was scar-
cely a let-up to the rain fall, but in
spite of it all the Pair was a ero-
trounced s,uccess in quality and quan-
tity ef stock exhibited.
The classes were all fell -a .number
of them, to overdowing-and hundreds
of people stood out 'in the raiji all
afternoon watching the best lot of
heavy horses that has ever been seen
at any one time in this pioVince.

judges said the gelding was one of

the show ring, and Mr. Kowcliffe, as
the breeder, came in tor a good
share of praise. ;

A number of sales were made at
the Fair including a heavy draft
; team; which Mr. B. ,Rowelifie sold
for $650 and a gelding for which
Mr. Ed. Glen ,of Stanley was paid
1340.
The officers of the Fair were zeal-
ous and energetic. President, Snell is
; an old hand at the game and doesn't
lose any interest as the years roll
on. To; Vice -President Hoare the.
Fair owes its inception. Treasurer
Mafurray kept his shoulder right at
the wheel, but for all that, thle great-
er part of the work devolved upon
Secretary Dowding' and he certainly
was tireless in promoting in every
way Possible the interests of the
Fthr. For what he aecotnplished in
the face of somewhat adverse_ but
obvious circumstances 11Q is entitled
