I Saw Toronto Fair ENGAGEMENT I Boys And Girls
54 Years Ago
Charles Wasman, Seaforth,
Compares This Year's Ex-
hibition 'with Previous Visit.
The folioeMg interview with Mr.
;Charles Wasman, 'B'es't William
street, Seaforth, is from the Toronto
Evening Telegram of August 30tH;
"There's too much speed for me at
the Exhibition," said 78 -year-old
IOharlee Wasman, retired farmer
front Seaforth, Friday as he related
experiences at the C.N.E. this year
cin comparison to those he enjoyed
when he last ,visited ,the C.N.E. fifty -
Sour years ago.
Still visibly excited following his
three-day jaunt amend the Exhibi-
tion grounds. IMr Wasman 'enthusias-
tically tctld of '''+the good old days"
when he came .to the fair in 1887.
'The year I attended the exhibition
they had just laid down the first el-
ectric street car tracks in Toronto,
running inside the Fair grounds, .A11
other services were horse drawn," IMr.
Wasman said,
In tleee days there were net ,paved
•idewaike, cedar 4ittt1 !being the
fashion And. my, the sidewalks and
laved streets yon have here now are
a treat. \, fair your buildings,. i get
creak ie my neck when '1 1' ok
at the Canadian Dank of Commerce
huildinge on King street," complained
Mr. Wasman,
The visitor is of the opinion that
the cattle nn show at the 1887 fair I
were gust as good as any shown
tndav, "!hut site horses in those days I
were maybe not quite so big as
now,"
The pyrotechnics of the ,1887 Ex-
hibition were just ahcut as impres-
sive as they are 'to -day, according to
IMr. Wasman, who. added, ":But in
those .clays there was 110 sheeting,
like there is now with the military
trench, Why, when the 'gun's went off
yesterday I ,Was nearly lifted off my
:feet,"
One of the forms of entertainment
missed by !lir. ,Wasman during his
visit this year is horse racing. "We
had *me really fine races in 7587.„'Of
course they were harness races,
which, for some reason, the younger
fry of to -day don't cotton !to,” he
said.
A aced what interested him .most at
the (CIN:F"„ Mr. Wasman said he
found much to hold his interest in
the agricultural exhibits, "'but that is
only natural, for I ant a farmer," he
said. He added that he liked the mid-
way tbut did not take any of the rides
—they went too 'fast.
131r. IW.asnran also found keen 'de-
light in attending Thursday's 'Music
Day 'Program, for it was ellen that
he listened to "some mighty swell
music."
"And you can 'say I stood to see
the show in i118O7, and that I st'o'od to
see it in 1101," caustically rentanked
Mr. Wasman as he concluded his
little chat with the Telegram.
