The thirty-third annual show of the Hay
Branch Agricidttiral Society was held in
Zurich on 'Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. This show improves as it grows in
years and is a fair indet of the section
of country it represents. The show this
year was amongst the best ever held under
the auspices of- the society. The weather
was delightful, and the attendance; as
shown by the gate receipts, was the largest
in the history of the show. The exhibits,
both as regards quantity and quality, were
equal, in many departments, to the best
shows this year, the exhibits in grain, roots
and fruits being especially noteworthy.
The show in cattle was also fine. In fact,
ow the whole, the show was a complete
success. The following is the
