BAYFIELD SHOW
Took place last week and was one
;of tFe most interestilig eversheld in
;•this place. I will say this irrespec-
tive of some faultsfieding, which is
oure to be the case always. Some
will always criticize, and criticize
only what others do, while they
themselves go scot free. Doing
nothing, they can only be criticisaid
for their sins of omission. But
every allowance must be made for
human nature. Every man thinks
his own wife is the best, every
mother her own child and so on
through the list. But in the mat.
ter of. articles for ,public exhibit if
the owner and exhibitor is also to bo
the judge, and this rule wore adopt-
ed, it would save much time to take
the exhibitor's value of his own
wares and put the red ticket on at
his suggestion. Of course every
owner would want firat prize, but
make it a rule that firat come first
served, and so that difficulty would
be obviated. Look at the prize list
for the most deserving cntries. The
ehow was a grand success, financially
and otherwise. And the officers of
the Society are to be.congratulated
on the success' that has attended
their efforts. Were it not that we
have got the country and the peer.
ple of course they could not succeed.
But there is also something in hav-
ing the management possess the
confidence of the people. Much of
the success of the fair is owing to
this. The gat g .receipts on the last
day were $145, which is probably
the moat ever taken in one day by
the Society. Without staying to
point out the many meritorious ex-
hibits, I will allow my love of horse
flesh to say that the great attraction
of the day was a two year old filly be.
longine to Mr. James Huston, sired
by Old Fulton, This filly took first
prize in its own class. It was after-
ward hitched up and opened the
eyes of some of the knowing ones.
The judges also awarded a recom-
mend to this animal as the best in
any class. Mr. Huston may well
feel proud of not only the honors,
but also of being the owner of such
a valuable animal. Following is
the prize liet :
The regular monthly rneetipg of

day evening. Present-Mesers. S.

Chrystal, M. Nicholson and Geo.
Swanson.- The chairman on calling
the meeting to order, addressed the
.Board regarding the death of trustee
Morton. Mr. lalcomson spoke with
great feeling and said that the death
of our lamented friend and co-
tsustee, A. Morton, had caused a
feeling of sorrow not only among
the membere of the Board, but
throughout the whole commienity.
That as a citizen, friend and neigh-
bor he was ever kind, and that his
course had earned the respect of all,
for he was "-an- honest man." in
conclusion the chairman recommend-
ed that a committee be appointed to
draft resolutions of condolence to
deceased's family, and that the
Board should adjourn. Mr. Crabb
also bore testimony to the worth of
the deceased. Moved by Mr. Crabb,
seconded by Mr. Ball, that the chair-
man and Median. Crabb and Swan-
son be a committee to draft resolu-
tion of condolence, and present the
same at the next Board meeting,
and that the Board adjourn for one
week in memory of our late friend
and member -carried. Moved by
Mr. Ball, seconded by Mr. Swanson,
