SEAFORTH SPRING FAIR
The annual horse and cattle show
of the Seaforth Agricultural Society
was held on Friday and for once the
Society was fortunatein securing an
ideal day for the event and a large
crowd gathered in town, It was no-
ticeable that buggies were by far in
the majority over the cars as the
roads were • just 'beginning to be in
shape for motoring. While the
number of entries were not quite up
to other years, the quality left no-
thing to be desired.
The directors made a much-needed
improvement.this year by roping off
the roadway from the public library
to the town hall, thus leaving a clear
space for judging without the con-
tinual encroaching of the spectators.
