The Receipts.
The gate and grandstand receipts
for tbe three days amounted to
91,447.30. This is 925.00 ahead of last
year's receipts, which were the best in
the history of the Exhibition up to
that time.
The Fruit Display.
In point of number and rise of the
specimens shown the fruit exhibit was
fully equal to that of former years,
but there was a notable deficiency in
color. This is accounted for by the
unfavorable wet season that has pre
Tailed, and the comparative absence
of sunshine to color the fruit, especi-
ally the fall or early, varieties, and
partly also by the tact that the show
was a fete days earlier than in other
years. A few days' more exposure to
the sunshine at this ripening season
would have the effect of putting on the
color and bloom that delight our or-
chardiits when they come to select the
specimens for the annual fall show.
The apples, of coarse, filled the
greatest number of plates and ex-
tended one-half tbe length of the long
table on the east side of the hall with
an overflow on the western table of
750 specimens.
The collections were numerous and
showed well-chosen specimens re-
markable for their size. There were
shown six colleetiooa of ten plates and
six collections of six plate. (Cooking),
with five collections of six plates (des-
sert). Altogether there were 1,900
separate specimens placed on the table
for the inspection of the judge—a task
of no mean proportions which oc-
cupied several hours in determining
who were the lucky ones to secure the
much coveted prize tickets. Much in-
terest bas been taken f0 fruit -growing
this year in this district and the result
is clearly seen is the clean appearance
of the apples wherever the orchards
have been sprayed.
Tbat line old apple the Northern
Spy which is generally acknowledged
to be our best apple, was represented
by twelve plat.!, but like most of the
other varieties was not seen at its
best, for it is the month of November
before it ripens. Scene plates of
Dualism's. Alexaader, Snow, McIntosh
and tot. Lawrence were about the only
varieties that gave any show of color.
A young exilibiter, Arnold Leith -
wait* of the Huron road, showed a
collection of fruit that was much ad-
mired, consisting of apples,
plums and avows, the priuciperfea-
ture of the collection being a number
of new varieties of apples which were
shown hers for the Arlt time.
The principal exhibitors were the
Meters. Seibold, Andrews and Bichos,
of the Bayfield road ; R. R. Moats, of
Porter's Hill. who took thirty -saves
prizes for his really One specimens and
also captured the silver medal for hie
ten -plata oollectigs ; C. Brimteombe,

Grapes included one collection of
twelve pistes, two collections of eight

these were sixty -Ave plates. la none
of the classes of fruit was the lack of
color more evident than in the grapes.
With the exception of a few Concorde.
Clinton*, Delawares sod same of the
Rodgers grapes there was very little
color to be seen. That ofd veteran ex-
hibitor, W. Warnock. carried off most
of the poises. Geo. Lalibwalte also ex-
hibited
some large and well -grown
bunches.

and the old Lombard In the dark

Potashes fined only four plates,
Orawfard and Fitzgerald, but they
were very Ane and tempting. This
small exhibit is easily accounted for, as
the period of bloom was so cold and
wet that the blossoms were sot fertil-
ized.
A few plates of quinces and bright
red crabapples were on view, but aot
much interest is taken in these classes
of fruit.
