The first break was mid last year, when there was a heavy „ • and Olontindouselown pour of rain both days. -'Thie year nature was more fa- vorable,. but the weather was far from agreeable: The first day was, very.wet, . 'and as a consequence the indoor display was somewhat light. -. The second. day bid fair to be a second -edition- of the first, t but in the forenoon it 'cleared off, and although- it was intensely cold -dur- ing stea sten overhead. ;As weather is an alliim- por . 4 factor in the success of a shim, Exeter, .which had justly become re- nowned for its good'shows; was scarcely ,up t� its former standard, although on the second day there was a very *good" croWd of people and some exceltentstock she T •read a ve Grain, fruit and dairy products were fully rip to the standard. In the ladies' department, while there were many very handsome and usefnl articles shown, the exhibit, .on the whole, was light to what it frequently has been.
