The weather was not very favorable, the morning being wet. Pe spite this drawback, however, there Was a large attendance of people. The show of horses was decidedly the best ever seen in the Riding, and the magnificent animals exhibited in the heavy draught classes Were in marked contrast with those shown at the same place six or eight years ago. In light horses the competition was not very 'keen. There were only three on exhibition, but they were good ones. The following shows the way the prizes went: HonsEs.---Imported Heavy Draught -8 entries -let, McMillan & Calder's Warrior 0' All ;" 2nd, McNeill & Shine's "Challenger ;" rd, Peter Mc- Ewen's Rankin Boy."

This is always TBa show of this section of the Province, and it fully kept up its reputation this year. It Was the general opinion that the show en Wednesday was the best ever held by the society. There were 13 aged imported heavy draught horses in the ring, and there was not an inferior one in the lot. In fact, taking them all round. there was not one that might not have been substituted for some one of the prize winners and no great mistake in judgment would have been made. The younger classes were not so well filled but the quality was equally good. The Canadian bred colts, also, were good. • In the carriage class there were three very superior animals, while there was the largest show of roadsters we have seen in one ring for a long time, there being seven and not an inferior one in the lot. There was also a large show of bulls, and some as fine animals as the country can produc. In the aged Durham class there were- five and an equal number of yearlings, while - there Was but one two year old. The place was filled. with self -binders and other implements, and the " gentlemanly and --obliging " agents were almost . as thick an black flies on a Manitoba prairie in a June night. The attendance of spectators, as shown by the gate re- ceipts, was larger than in any former. year. The following are the prize win-. pees „ HORSES. -Aged Heavy Draught -13 entries - 1st,.
