Society held on Main street on Tues-
day, April 5th, was very successful.
Tile day did not look promising but
the afternoon turned out fine and
there was a large crowd. There was
a shortage of - light horses but. this
was more than made ftp by the large'',
entry of heavy horses of exceptionally,
gbod quality, the best that has been
shown. 'In one- of the agricultural
classes there were 12 entries. The ex-
hibit of heavy horses,' in the opinion
of the judges, could not be surpass-
ed at any fair in Western Ontario,' and
compared well with the stock shown
in Toronto. The boys' judging tom -
potion was won by Jimmie Atkinson,
the youngest and smallest lad in the
large class of contestants who scored
95 nut of a possible 1100.. County Ag-
