T annual fall show of the East
Wawanosh Agricultural Society which
was held here on Thursday and Fri-
day proved quite successful. The
weather was fine but just a little
warm,* which increased the patronage
of the reft•eshment stands. The ex-
hibits in the hall were splendid, the
vegetable department being especially
noteworthy, while outside the show
of stock was something grand, the
sheep in numbers and quality surpass-
ing anything exhibited here before. It
is to Inc hoped that before another
year has passed that better grounds
and buildings may be secured which,
along with a, tittle enthusiasm
would place Belgrave show second to
none in the county.
