STAFFA'S FALL FAIR
(By 3, MacTavish in 'The London
Free (Pres)
Did S ff ever t a e er !rave a fair? The
question was asked in all seriousness.
The answer was just as seriously gi-
ven.
Yes, indeed, it did have a Fair; it
had two Faire, a spring Fair and a
hall Fair. The latter was a World's
Fair,
It may be thought by hundreds of
thousands of persons that the first
World's Fair of importance was held
in Chicago, in '14593, to celebrate the
four hundredth year since the discov-
ery of 'America by Christopher Col-
umbus. It was a year late because the
.buildings were not in readiness in
meg,
It, however, as we see it, was not
the first World's ;Fair.
The Chicago World's Fair, as it
was called, was outstanding inasmuch
,.s it Inanglit to one place the most
wonderful collection, not only of
manufactured' things, but 'likewise o
products of the World, that had ever
been attempted and seen.
Great credit is due Chicago for the
amazing White City that was built
on the :?sores of Lake Michigan to be
part and parcel of, and means of ac-
cemmodation for, the World's Fair,
It k.reve that twenty years prior
to this Chicago suffered a loss estim-
ated at $I1190,000,00p, simply because
some fractions cow in the outskirt's of
the ci
ty gave vent to her feeding,. by
kicking a lantern to "smithereens"
but neglecting to kick the light nut at
the same time, This happened in 13.7].
Staffa itt that time was on elle map,
known as Springhill; and, like Chica-
go, was etruggling under certain 'han-
dic.ips. Obstacle after obstacle was
overcome. Later in the seventies it
had a- real fall .Fair—a 'World's Fair.
This could hardly reasonably be
disputes,
;Did it not always have a long list of
printed prizes for the different coni -
petitions?
+Distance did not bar any aspirant
for honors.
.\ny prize might be won by any
person from anyw-hero.
It leas a+pen to the whole world.
Therefore we as'k the question,
c, uld any Fair the fairer? And- we
claim it was only fair to regard it as
being a World's Fair,
!Back in the eighties when our
young minds were engrossed with the
acquaintance of home life, we knew -
tat the vast world ,beyond us. took in
such domain. as 'Hullett, McKillop,
Logan, Ellice, •Ftillarton, Downie,
'Blanchard, iaborne, Tuckersmitb and
something of a hazy recollection

We knew that these .places existed!
somewhere in the universe because
always just about Lair tine • they'I
would ,cone into notoriety. 'Remarks
would be made to the effect that
sheep would be brought from beyond
the boundary, way back in LTsborne,
We. would hear that Tuckersniith far-
mers were determined to take prizes
for hest heavy draft horses; hear that
!Writer - and cheese from :Fullarton
would have to be reckoned with.
IPe ides, it might be whispered that
front Taickersniith, Fullerton and
Blanchard were ,being brought some
tri the finest swine that had ever beta
raised,
.\hout the Tillage there would be
more gossip concerning the Fair.
Nevertheless, it is to its credit, like-
wise to tete credit of the township of
:Hibbert, that no matter -where entries
came from the home folies were ready
and willing to compete against. thein.
