LL TI -IE FALL FAIRS
Fair Time
Highlights
By the Ful -O -Pep Reporter
Just about what the "World's
Series" means to baSeball men, The
Royal WinterFair has cothe to
signify, down through the, years. of
its existence, among Canadian
F -iners ,and Stockmen; and it is
possibly difficult for a city -bred per-
son to realize the feeling of justifi-
able 'pride which comes to an ex-
hibitor even from having entries in
>inch an Outstanding event, let alone
winning one of the many prizes.
In sense The Royal Winter Fair
it the culmination of all the smaller
Fall Fairs to which we liave been
devoting this space for several ,week
past. Without them—well it might
possibly exist, but it could never
have reached its present heights of
greatriess. That is because the
smaller Fairs act as a sort of 'siev-
ing' process, separating • the real
• ehainpions from the ."near" variety,
so that at the "Royal' one is able
.to see only the best of their kind,
'whether it be in the animal classes,
or in any of the other products of.
•the farm. •
This week we illustrate. some of
the features that will be seen at
the "Royal". The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police will be back, doing
their famous Musical Ride which
has won them such plaudits on both
sides of the border. There will be
nerve -tingling jumping by some of
the world's finest horsenten, and
other forms of entertainment to suit
the fancy of every visitOr,
But, when all is said ancl done, it
will be the products of the land,
and the champion livestock which
• will be longest remembered—which
is just as it should be. Of special
interest to grain growers is the
•striking new trophy illustrated at
the top of the page. It will serve,
for wheat, much the same purpose as
the magnificent trophy donated by
The Quaker Oats Company last
year in the "best oats" division and
whoever receives it wilt be acclaimed
as "World Wheat Champion",
Yes, 11 ll in all, it's quite an iasti-
tution, The Royal Winter- Fair, and
everybody who can possibly make
it should by all means ai•tend. Sn,
let's go? •
