HE
lRAIN. F9.ltS THE EXETER, FAIR
Rain on
Tuesday marred what
promised to be one of the best fairs
in the history of Exeter. The weath-
er on Monday was fine and a great
exhibit was gathered together in the
crystal palace, Tuesday carne in
fine but rain developed in the middle
of the forenoon and kept up a driz-
zling shower more or lessall day. In
spite of it a large number carie to
lawn and found their way to the
grounds between the Showers. The
exhibit of ladies' work was never
better-, the quality being up to the
usual high : standard, The ,exhibit
of fruits, flowers and vegetables were
also excellent. The showing by the
school children was particularly ;t t-
ti•active and received much favorable
comment, A demonstration for cand-
ling and grading eggs was conducted
by Mr. C. F. Hooper and Inspector
Morrison, of London. There was a
splendid showing of cattle, some very
line animals being among the lot.
There was a large entry for baby
beef, the prize animal in the class
being led in by a youngster. The
surprise of the afternoon came when
H. H. Brown carried off the red tie-
ket for best roadster foal in compe-
tition with the roadster foal that
won first prize at Toronto and Lon-
don fairs.
For the speeding events there was
an. extra large entry but the trials
were postponed until Wednesday af-
ternoon. The gate receipts fell a-
way short of the mark, There were
a few more tents than usual on the
Midway and all seemed to be doing
pretty ,well
The 'prizes were as follows:
