Although coldl the •day was favorable, and notwithstanding the had roads there was a -viery large crowd of people present, the +Wage be- ing filled to overflowing from an early hour in the forenoon until late iiii the evening. The show upon the ..WIleole was very successful, the number of en- tries being considerably in advance of former years. Li the indoor dei!dart- mei* the most noticeable featurawas the large and magnificent display of lathes' work and fancy articles w 'eh was, indeed, creditable to the skill, ta.ste and industry of the ladies of Bruseels and vidnity. The display of roots and grain was large and the exhibits of ex- cellent quality, the roots being especial- ly fine. In fruit there was a' goodldis- play for this year, and the piality was excellent, in fact we could scarcely be- lieve that such fine samples' could be produced this year. There was a very large display of dairy products, and ap- parently of excellent quality and much of the titter was very neatly and tl, ste- a, fully put up. In the field there w is an equally good show. Here, the horse ring was, as usual, the principal at--,,ritc- tion, and the superior quality of the an- imals shown entitled them to marked attention. In team and carriage h rses there was a large number of entries, and sb good were all that the jiidg,es had a very difficult task to decide sviich were entitled to distinction. In this department it would ' have been n uch better and: more satisfactory had t ere been a proper classification, as reany animals which in their proper classes would have, been awardedPrizesi did c not receive anything. This lobje tion l will, however, be overcome in another year. In single buggy horses therewas a large show, and while there were sev- eral good and noted driving horses there were others which would hardly dome up to the average. In cattle there was not a large show, but there were Many excellent animals both inthoroughbreds and grades. - The show of sheep apuld not easily be beaten at a local exhibi- tion, both as regardsiiiiiibers and qual- ity of stock. There was a small show of hogs, but there were some Inch showed good breeding. In carriages and buggies dere was a ;very largend. fine display, Ithe Messrd Watson 'and Mr. Brooks being the principal exhibi- tors. There was also a litrge (lisp* of implements of various ki ds, the Brus- sels Foundry araeng others being 1 tgre- i ly represented. We are glad to 1 arn that the Directors of the society in end. making a big push for next -year, and profuse avery much larger and ore varied prize list.
