"From present indicati.;. s this is going
to be one of the for- Host successful
fairs in Ontario. Thi directors are
energetic, pushing and ,o ahead. They
are putting the ground= in fine shape and
have np-to-date buildin s. Here I saw
the best Road Horse e hibition at any
of the fairs. The class of heavy horses
is not excelled in Carla. a. In the sweep-
stakes for the best hors: on the grounds,
some (20) appeared in .alters —a very
fine lot—and one of t.: best show sights
I have ever witnes=;'. I took ample
time to judge and finly reduced the lot
to a Heavy and a Roa; Horse and ad-
judged the prize to the Road horse."

RESULT HURONS.
The result of t e political battle in
Huron county shou d be very setisfae-
tory to the Liber Is, considering the
landslide in the oth r parte of the Pro-
vinc°. The Liberal of Wingham re-
ceived the retures in the committee
room in the Macdo aid block and were
very muoh discoured at the general
result, but the victo y in East Huron,
and the probability 1 Mr. Cameron be-
ing returned in the r : count, were crumbs
of comfort. The 0• servatives received
the returns in the T.wn Hall and were
very jubilant over the general result.
Holme's made an ex ellent run in Goder-
iob and Wingham, n both places many
Liberals voting for him, and in Wing -
ham some electors oted on the plea of
the "home man." Mr. Cameron made
gains in all the municipalities save
Wingham and Go erich. Upon exam-
ining the poll bo.ks, returning officer
Reynolds found t at in one polling sub-
division, No. 7, ..Batt, the deputy re-
turning officer h:. omitted to fill in the
proper form in t.: poll book, which is
the returning o h'er's only guide as to
the number of b lots cast for each can-
didate, with the •:suit that Mr. Dudley
Holmes, the Con .:rvative candidate. was
declared elected • y a majority of fifteen.
The ballots oast i this division can only
be examined on a re-count, which will
take place immed ately, and as Mr. Cam-
eron, the Liberal andidate, has a major-
ity there of twent the final majority
will be found to five, unless other-
wise reduced or it -creased on the pro-
ceedings before tha County Judge.
In East Huron, Mr Arch Hislop is
again returned, b it by a largely decreas-
ed majority ItfrBowman was a strong
candidate and rade gains in every
municipality except Wroxeter.
In South Huron, Mr H Silber is re-
elected over the I iberal by a largely in-
creased majority
