, In tie matter of weather for the Fall
8how a the Tuckerstnith Branch Agri-
culture Society, Seaforth has been fav-
ored ave many of its neighbors. Rain
had fal en almost daily for the previous
week o two and the climax of bad wea-
ther was capped on Sunday) the day pre-
eeding;that of opening the show, by a
fall of 'snow and a lowering of tempera-
ture that caused apprehensions as to the
possibility of holding the show at all.
On Monday. morning, however, the sun
came Out gaily and quickly dissipated,
not only the inch or so of snow4hat had
footle but the fears that it had raised.
The p Omise of the morning, however
was n t altogether realized as the sun,
befere noon, was hidden by clouds and
the sit assumed a chilliness which not
only contained but inOreased until the

slight sprinkling of snow again came on

during the evening in the upper part of
the building, while -down stairs, in the
musical, qastrument depattment of
Messrs.1Wiilon & Scott, Mrs. Greaves
and Mi!. Holland gave occasional duets
on PiatIo and Violin. -
On first entering the hall the attention
was attracted to the *immense display of
bread and butter. the staff of life and its
main accompaniment, the latter especial-
ly being in Ewell quantity and of such ex- Esq., and severalj pencil and crayon

task for the judges, Messrs. Jackson and
Cash, to declare the most deserving. The
fair manipulators, too -we suppose it is
but fair to speak of them as such -had

shells, etc., out of the golden mass,
which added to the attractiveness of the
display. On the same side of the building

of grain of,wbich there was a very con-
siderable quantity' of all kinds and gen-

there were some forty-five entries consist-

were very careful in this respect, as they
should be. A case of Florence sewing
machine work in the centre of the build-
ing,attracted the attention of the ladies
by the beauty of the work displayed.
Messrs. Watson and Ware had a display
of sewing machines here, the Wheeler &
Wilson, Howe and,, Osborne, which they
kept busily', at Work for the judgment of
visitors. Before going further we should
mention the excellent display of wines,
honey, canned fruit and pickles, which
did, much credit to 'the exhibitors. Com-
ing, to the ladies work, our reporter
being a bachelor, was nonplussed. He
thought be would listen to the ladies'
views and accordingly edged up toward
a couple of fair ones, when he heard one
remark, "Isn't that sweet ?" pointing to
some remarkable conglomeration of knot-
ted threads. "That 1" said the other
scornfully, "I just think it perfectly
horrid." He gave it up then in despair.
