That of live stock was good, especially of horses and cattle; the show in pigs was better than form- erly, there being native exhibitors; and poultry display was the usual number. The ladles' work exhibit were creations of artistic beauty with meetly competit- ors, and in dairy products the thrifty housewife showed a fine display of some of the luxuries of life. Vege- ta,bles,'graine and fruits were keenly contested and the ;specimens compared well with former shows Great inter- est was taken in the speeding contest in the free for all race, the former trot or pace not being run off.
