Friday last, the second day of our Fall Fair, was one of Septem- ber's finest days, The very large attendance proved conelusively that the Directors made no mistake when they secured R. R. Gamey, M. L. A., as one of the attractions for the Fair. The stock exhibited was excellent ; some very fine cattle were shown. Horses were well represented in the various olasses, The fruit, vegetables, grain and roots were good, In the Ladies' department and fine arts, the exhibit was smaller than last year. This may be ac- counted for by the fact that some of our largest exhibitors went this year to Toronto and London instead of the Township Fairs. W. T. A. Fishleigh had a very fine display of stoves, silverware, lamps, etc., very neatly arranged ; A. Young & Son were well represented by the various lines of stoves they handle, including the excellent Crown Huron stoves and ranges, made by the Western Foundry Co. in our own town. Mr. D. Bell had a good display of musical instruments and sewing machines, The Singer machine was also represented, and different makes of cream separators. The attraction to many in the afternoon was Mr. Gainey, M. L. A, for Manitoulin, who gave an excellent address on New Ontario, in front of the grand stand. Mr. Gamey is a clear, fluent and forcible speaker, but on account of the wind blowing it was difficult to hear him, unless the listener was near the vehicle from which he spoke. He expressed the pleasure it gave him to accept the invitation of the Agricultural So- ciety to be present at so large a Fair, in so beautiful a town, and to see so many interested in agricultural pursuits. In New Ontario, condi- tions were different. There was good laud there, but the country was rough, rocky and more broken than in old Ontario, but it had values that the land here had not. He referred to the vast resources in tim- ber, in minerals—gold, silver, copper and nickel. Of the latter, Canada had practically the monopoly of the world. In New Ontario last year, there had been cut eight hundred million feet of pine. He advised every young man to obtain a knowledge of mineralogy and metallurgy, that he might know his country's resources, and in New Ontario such knowledge could be turned to good account. If a man was comfortably situated here, he would advise him to stay, but to young men desirous of making a home for themselves, New Ontario offered inducements not found elsewhere. Mr. Gamey, in his address, wisely avoided political matters. He closed an excellent address by referring to the nobility and indepen- dence of the farmer's life, and strongly urged young men to stay on the farm. The speeding contests were attractive, and well conducted. The Judges were C. Knechtel of Wingham, E. Livingstone of Blyth, and J. Kelly of Listowel, The following was the result :— GENTLEMEN'S RACE—Purse $50. FREE FOR ALL—Purse $150. Sandy (Perdue) 3 1 1 1 3 3 222 444 555 Wana (Beattie Bros.)

No entries were made for the Chicken Plucking contest. The attendance was large and orderly and the Fair was pronounced the "best ever held in Wingham." The increased attendance may be judged from the figures presented below (in'round numbers) Gate receipts last year $270 00 Gate receipts this year 566 00 Tile' total receipts are as follows :— Gate receipts $566 00 Grand Stand per tentage 33 00 Entries 55 00 Concert 89 00 This does not include membership fees. The concert in the evening was well attended, and an attractive program was presented. 'Ruthven Macdonald fully met the expecta- tions of his admirers. His solos are always rendered in excellent style. Those who enjoy the lighter vein of entertainment were gratified by the comic singing of Will McLeod and the songs and dancing of Miss Mc- Gill ; both filled their part of the program satisfactorily. NOTES. $743 00 Gamey drew the crowd. The merchants report a good day. A decided success, from first to last. The President wore a happy smile. The Directors were abundantly pleased. The Treasurer was tickled at the jingle of the coins. If properly handled, future Fairs may be equally successful. There was plenty of demand for "meals" at hotels and restaurants. Bumper gate receipts ; over double of last year's—as $566 is to $270. The Fair has gained an impetus for the future by the success achieved in 1903. "He's a perfect gentleman" said one of Wingham's leading Lib- erals of It. R. Gamey. Excellent music was furnished by Wingham Band at the Promen- ade concert in the evening of the 24th, and in the afternoon of the 25th, Cement "building stone" for residences, made by Young, Taylor & Glover, Wingham, should fill the bill, It looks well, is lasting and ornament. We are out of the rut ; don't let the wheels get into the rut again, or the last state of the Fair will be worse than the first. There must be no retrogression. There must be no "let up," but a stronger effort than ever for next year, and so on, until Wingham Fair is the county leader, as it may be. Tact, energy, enterprise will do it. The Directors tendered, through their President, a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Gainey for his acceptance of their invitation, which was acknowledged and appreciated by the Man from Manitoulin. The day was very free from accidents. One of the horses in speed- ing came in contaet with a colt crossing the track. The wheel of the sulky was broken, and horse and rider thrown, but no serious damage was done. Mr. R. Bloomfield exhibited an excellent model of a three -masted sailing vessel, fully rigged, with helm and redder, sails all set, and sailors climbing the masts. The novelty of the exhibit is that this pretty and complete model was made with a pocket-knife. Mr. Bloom- field certainly deserves credit for the model, so neatly constructed.
