The horses were not judged as the weather was too sev- ere, and the races were called off. The exhibits of poultry were large and the classes well filled; Some fine sheep and hogs were also shown. The Indoor Departments p nents revealed to those who attended 'that Huron and Perth have fine root and grain crops this year. The apple and floral 'exhibits were treats. No less did' the work in home manufactures reflect credit on the capable hands ds that baked the en - tieing. bread, cakes. pies, and prepar- ed the preserved fruits. The officials have decided to con- tinue the Fair; on Saturday. 'October 6th, when it is hoped more favorable weather will he encountered. CATTLE, SECTION B. ' Shorthorn:. Cow, W.
