SEAF6RTi-I, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1886. the Blyth Show. • Th e Mont -is Branch Agricultural So- ciety's Show held at Blyth, on Thursday and Friday last was the most. successful ever held tinder the auspices of the so- eiety. The weather was favorable and both exhibitors and spectators turned out in large numbers: On Friday the grounds were one rnass of living human- ity. The gate receipts at an entrance fee of 10 and 5 cents amounted to over $320, and this, together with a large membership- list indicates that there mast have been between three and four thousand people present.' In the indoor - department the show was never excelled. There was a large and very nice collec- tion of ruits and vegetables,as fine es,we have seen this season. The grain also was good and in this department there Was the keenest competition. In horses there was a splendid show especially in the lighter classes. The heavier classes were not so largelyrepresented,although many of the young an:finals were of superior quality. In roadster breeding mares there were some twelve entries and in foals the same, while in single buggy horses there were nineteen shown. If this' show continues to increase as rapidly as it has done within the past few years the society will very soon have to enlarge their show grounds as they are entirely too cramped for such a show as they had on Friday. In cattle there was an unaccountably small show, although there were several fine animals in the list. In sheep, pigs and poultry the show was not very large and the com- petition was only moderately keen. There was a very nice display of imple- ments and carriages.
