At a meeting of the Directors of the North•Western Exhibition held at Goderich on the 3rd inst., the following was adopted : "The Directors of the North-Western Exhibition regret that the editor of the Goderich Signal has, on account of an imaginary grievance, tried to injure the interests of the Towo of Gederieh and the N:irth-Western Exhibition by pub- lishing statements about the Exhibition which are not true and intended to mis- lead persons not in a position to judge for themselves. The membership for 1891 is greater than that of of 1890, and the amount of pr•ize;money awarded this year, is more than $120 greater than last year, on ac- count of the departments being better filled. These facts and the statements which will be aub,nitted at the annual meeting will confirm the general opinion that the Exhibition was a success.' In reply to the above the Signal says : We published the tr nib about the show this year being a step to the rear, and we can prove it by the reoords of the Society, notwithstanding the epenions argument advaneec pin the last §eagragh of the rel; `eoliftro'u'rif beetihre. fis -rfaii-eIrtielTire nominally the membership I. larger by 'about 33 than last year, but the amount of money received by the Society from membership fees end donations has fallen from $559 to $52.3—certainly not a sas- oeasful showing.
