Appreciated. - . -
The Directors of the Western Fair, Lon-
don, are the proudest .set of men in this -
country, and feel' that their efforts have
been appreciated by the people of Opted()
and adjoining States. There appeers to be
greeter things still in store for them. The
new live stock buildings they -claim to be
the best on the continent for exhibition pur-
poses, being built from . plans carefully pre-
pared after visiting the principal fears of
America. They are so -arranged -that viai,
tors can start at the main building . and go
the entire rounds, , we might ,say, under
cover, and it will 'make little or no differ-
ence whether it rains or not after you once
get there. This eapenditure of money will,
no doubt, be a big drawing card, and ia-
crease both the exhibits and patrons this
,
year. ,. . ,
Notwithstanding this • great outlay, the
,
Prize List has been increased some, with
the understanding that next year will- find
considers:al advance in this -direction.
Pawnee Bill;

Weenie ha been engaged, and will make a

acrobats axe also going to be there, and
others are being arranged for. Together
they will make a rousing day's sport, and
fill the new double -decked .grancl stand to
its utmost capacity. There is no place one

Canada's Pride.
A little over a month hence the Fall Fairs
will be eommencing, and first and foremost
will be the Industrial at Toronto, which is
to he held this year from the 31st of August
to the lath of September.
Every Canadian is very properly interesa
ed in and justly proud of the success of this
great Exhibition, because it brings promin-
ently before them, as well as the outside
world, the vast resources and products of
our country, and the progress which is be-
ing made from year to year in its agricul-
tural and industrial pursuits ; consequently,
the approaching Inclastrial Fair is being
looked forward towith increased interest
and pleasurable anticipation, and many are
already making arrangements to visit it.
By thousands' it is made the occasion of
their annual holidayetiting, and it is usually
a very enjoyable -one. There is every indi-
cation that it will this year fully equal, if
not excel, it predecessors. To nseet the de-
sires of those who usually look for this kind
of thing, a large uember of special attrac-
tions are being provided, of a new and in-
teresting character. The li,ye stock and all
other exhibits, except. cut froIvers and fruit -
will be on the grounds from September 3rd,
so that the first week of the Fair will be
equally as good as the second. All entrie4
have to be made_before the 8th of August.
• The Toronto Exhibition has now become one
of the best and most popular educational
and entertatinnent enterprises on this coni
tinent, and those who have uever visited it
would be surprised at its magnitude and
attractiveness, being almost like a small
world's fair. Prize Lists and Entry Forms
can be procured by any one desiring them
by dropping a past card to Mr. H. J. Hill,
manager, Toronto.
