It is esti- mated that between 6004 and TOW people passed through the gates on the second day, The total gate reeeipts pt!ere nearly WO. The liet of entries was not as large gig some previous years, but the articles ,that were shown were of exceeding ;good quality and in many respects far in advance of anything ever seen at ,any previous Blyth fair, The display of ladies' work and fine arts was ex- ceptionally good. The exhibit of horses, sheep, pips and poultry was very good, but the exhibit of cattle did not equal former years. The grain exhibit was also small. The fruit exhibit was large and good, and the roots were never better. The speeding events were close and last, and resulted as follows :— P'ree-tor-all_ J' tie storm, Wm.
