FREE Exeter fair A Successful ane i Exeter, Sept. 10 -The Exeter Agri. cultural Society held its annual "fall fair to day. Although the weather man was none too kind for the occas on, he did not succeed in dampening the ardor of the directors and other behind the affair, and the show was a bumper success. The society this year increased the prize list until over $1,200 iu cash was given away and the crowds and number of entries surpass ed all expectation. The success of the whole fair reflects credit upon hoard of directors and esp&eiatly upon the energetic president, Ed. Christie, and the aged secretary, Alex, G. Dyer Capital music was'. furnished by the Exeter Brass Band, although on account of the rain they were toned to play in the crystal palace. The threatening clouds of the morn 'ng had something to do with prevent ng many cattle, sheep and hogs com ing in, but what were brought in were No• 1 and 0, K, in every sense of the word, All told, the whole fair was a brilliant success in spite of the down pour of rani that lasted all the aften noon, In pianos and organs, sewing machines. manufactured articles, etc. the number of entries this year was well ahead of other years. The t a' k events were called off on account of the rain. which was a disc appointment to the horsemen, One special event was put on however, in the shape of a pony clase, in which were three entries. Earl Powell, dressed as an Indian and riding,Topsy won first. Joe Follick, dressed as a clown and riding Dan Patch' won second money, while Delem Charlton, on the grey stallion, took third, dress ed as a cowboy. The poultry exhibit was almost double that of last year in number, but of none too good a quality, The heavy=horses were hard to beat, while the roadsters were a good second, The roadster foal class, especially, was a large one and puzzled the judge, Cap tain TomRobson, in nicking a winner.

The question has been revived by the presence of a number of women at a =recent boxing contest held in London, Those who regard a prize fight as a spectacle too brutalizing even for grown men to witness will, of course, be in+violent opposition eo the idea that women can benefit in any degree by attendingsuch entertainment: nment: On the other and, Eugene Oorri, the well-known referee, declares that box- ing in England offers a very pretty display of skill and an exhibition of endurance, and that no woman can watch the display : of those qualities under, absolutely fair conditions with- out herself ith-out,herself receiving benefit.
