Beat Branch Agricultural Societies was held on the grounds of the latter, in Exeter, on Monday and Tuesday last. The weather is always an important factor in the making or marring the success of an agricultural show. On Monday it was intensely cold, which was no doubt the cause of some of the indoor departments being somewhat lighter than is _usually the case at Exeter. In roots there was a small and poor show. The same may be said of apples. The, falling off in these departments, however, is easily accounted for, as both roots and - apples are short crop this season. All the other departments were as well repre- sented as usual. But any deficiency in the indoor department was more than made up by the general excellence of the outdoor display on Tuesday. The weather had moderated off and was ideal show weather on Tuesday, and as a oonsequence there was a splendid outside show and a larg& crowd of spectators. In heavy draught horses there Were, perhaps, not as many as in former years, but all the other classes were well tepresepted. In cattle, sheep and pigs, there.has never been a larger or better show, in the county. The gate receipts for Tuesday afternoon amounted to over five hundred dollars, while the entire receipts of the show,irrespectiveof member's subscriptions, will amount to over six hun- dred dollars, which is a very satiefeotory showing for the society.

Returning by every boat are men who, a month or two ago set out forthe gold fields of the Klondike full of hope and expecta- tions of great riches. Many of them staked their last dollar and returned disheartened and ruined financially. They saved their livenbut their outfit in which they invested their money, is either lying seattered along the White Pass trail or was sold at a sacri- fice. These men went north prepared to do hard work, but they did not realize what was before them. They pictured a well- travell ed mountain trailnuch as are seen in British Columbia, and thought it would not be much trouble to throw packs on their horses march through the pass to the lakes and tlan having built their boats sail quickly an'a quietly down the rivers until they came to the rich diggings. Instead of this they found that they had to make their way over mountains and through gulches and ravines that ere almost impenetrable. It is true a trail! was built from Skagway to Lake Tagith, al distance of 36 miles, but with the heavy travel and continuous rain this has been made worse than no trail at all. All along are scattered immense granite boulders, through which horses and men have to piok their way. The poor animals stumble along as best they can, many of them falling and breaking their legs and ribs or are pushed over the cliff when at- tempting to pass a pack train going in' an opposite direction, for in many places there is no room to pass. A gentleman who ar- rived from Skagway on Sande says that _within 100 yards he counted 27 dead horses, and the bodies were just as thick along the other portions of the trail. But the horses which break their lege and ribs are not the ones to be pitied ; a bullet soon puts an end to their suffering ; it is the animale that are in the hands of men who know nothing about packing and 99 per cent, a those on the trail never saw a pack saddle before they went there—who have to affer. An old miner in a letter to a friend in this city said he saw horses which were raw from their necks to their tails from carrying loose packs. The men themselves are not faring so bad- ly yet. There were bound to be weak - hearted ones among the 6,000 or more who are fighting their way through, hut the vast majority are pluckily sticking to the work with very scant chances of .making a suc- cess of it. Of all the panties who left here since the end of July only one had -been heard of, the members of which had reach- ed the lakes with their complete outfit, and they had a muck lighter outfit than did most of the men. The ether parties are scattered all along the route. Some have part of their goode at Skagway and the rest at the ether end of the trail at Tagish Lake, while others have all their goods half way .in and still others have not Made an effort to leave Skagway. For Skagway in the word. of the street arab is " a bad town" and the average adventurer does not like to leave a place where there is lots of excitement and no seareicy of money. This is the condition of the tented city of Skag- way at the head of Lynn Canal. A letter from one of the mounted police now en route toehhe Yukon says they took. nine days to make four miles ; that the boat -building party' were all more or less sick end they had to send back for more mediaine, their stock having run out ; that it rained steadily and they are wet all the time, and that 24 pack horses were killed the first day the White Pass opened after repairs. Dispatches have been received at Regina from Inspector Constantine dated, Dawson, August llth. He reports that the police were getting on well with their building and that three river steamers had been disabled, but had secured most of the provisions required to carry the police over the winter. All was quiet in the district, but food was getting to be very scarce. prizes and one 2nd taken by Wm Earl. One 1st sad one 2nd by Mrs A Ford. Roll - !ins & Williams special, Mrs John Dignan.

Up to the time of writing there has been no frost in Dauphin. Root crops are also good. The Lake - Manitoltia Railway and Canal Com- pany have extended their road from Sifton to Lake Winnepogsis this year,a distance of about 25 miles. This will be the means of opening up the salt mines that exist up there', from which source Dauphin has been supplied with her salt for the last few years. It will also be the means of opening up the fishing industry in Lake Winnipegosis, which abounds in whitefish, pickerel, etc., and it is expected that the company will the Knight of The Maccabees, with about 30, arid now there is about to be oiganized a mixed lodge of the Royal True Blues, with a chartered membership of about 25, and the Free Ma;sons are talking of organizing soon, as there ere a good many of them here. The Presbyterians and Baptiste use the Orange Hall for worship on Sundays. _ Any person coming to Dauphin with a little money can do well. There are several good improved farms within reasonable dis- tance from the flourishing town of Dauphin that can be had very reformable. Up till lately it kept three men busy since last spring in the land office here. This will give you a faint idea of the immigration to Dauphin this last summer. I will conclude by saying that the town of Dauphin has already bad the pleasure of welcoming 'two large exeursions in their town, one by the firemen of Portage la Prairie on Diamond Jubilee day, and the other ,on the 12th of July,whichlwas gotten up and trains charter- ed by the Dauphin Loyal Orange Lodge, and which were run from High' Bluff and Portage la Prairie and from Mumedosa, and I must say that the Orangeman, especially, Hanging basket, Mrs J Richardson.
