ORIGIN OF AGRICULTURAL FAIRS. -- Agricultural shows were first held in Holland, and were introduced into England by King William of Orange. He made popular in England the Idea of a periodical festival, which was made largely agricultural. The idea was fol- lowed up and elaborated by Sir William Temple, in England, and Dean Swift, in Ireland. At that time they had three-day shows. The first was for athletics. The young folk were to run, wrestle, and dance for prizes. The second day was for manufactures, and the third day for live stock.—Farmers' Advocate. LAWN SOCIAL.—The L1wrl Social held on Friday evening last on the grounds of W. Doherty, Esq., was a decided success in every respect. There was an immense crowd present (over 1,000.) The night wasa n ideal one. The receipts were large and everybody apparently had an enjoyable time. Fully 500 persons "went through" the organ factory, the majority of whom visited the works for the first time. It was a revelation t,o many who had no idea of the extent of this big estab- lishment. The running of the factories was an happy idea indeed. The On- tario, street choir were present and entertained charmingly those assem- bled at the western portion of the grounds, the piano playing of Miss Combe was also greatly appreciated. The band was on hand and as usual rendered several selections in their own charming way. All had a de- lightful time and we shall look for- ward again to a social held under the same auspices on the same grounds. THE BIG FAIRS. --P. W.

The city was pret- tily decorated, and presented a fine appearance. A large number of visitors from surrounding towns arrived about, noon. Tho Hamilton Preceptory brought with them the 13th Battalion Band, and the 28th Battalion Band met the visitors et the station. A procession was formed at two o'clock, and pro- c:'eded to the athletic park,where races of an amateur character took place, Addresses were also delivered by Grand Master Whit.e,ofthe Canadian Knights Templar ; Past Grand Master E. T. !Ma- lone, of Toronto; Grand Chancellor D. Spry, of London, and others. About. 2() Hamilton Tempters were present, in uniform and a dozen from London, Windsor and other places.

CEMENT OR GRA No1.ITlllc WA At the July meeting the Council decided on permitting Mr. .)nines 1 Towe to put down n piece of test, cement or grano- lithic walk. The street committee firn- aliy decided to have the test. made in front. of the tr.wn hall and the material was laid last Satiirdn.y and on Monday of this week. Mr. Wm. Counter, it former resident, now of Jackson, Mich., assisted Mr. Howe, and if the appear- ance of the work as completed counts for anything, he is a first. -class work- man. Tho foundation Wag made of 12 1.o 11 inches coal cinders, watered and pounded down, from 3 to 3i inches eoncrete (sand and cement). on top of the cinders, also pounded down, and the top of 1 to 1 inches Owen Sound Portland Cement.. The town made the ►,n•onnd ready and is to pray 10 cents a. samara font., sn that the piece of walk already laid, if sat isfactory, will cost between $7(I and $fill. As to it.s wearing quality no opinion can be .justly ex- pressed until next spring, although these and similar walks are giving the best of satisfaction in ninny towns.
