Between prize horse flesh and new patent inventions, Markdale ma'le a very creditable and profitable exhibit at the late Toronto Industrial Exhibi tion. Mr. J. K. Trimble's horse, ' " Clear Grit, Jr." won first prize and diploma for roadster stalhon, being the highest award possible to take. Mr. Trimble is one of the best horse- men in the country and it is a credit to the place to have such an enterpris- ing man in our village, while it is profitable to the surrounding country to have horse flesh improved by the introduction of good stock. Messrs. Eae Irving, of this place, had tneir new invention also on ex- hibition. This new idea was invented by Mr. J, G. Irving, pumpmaker, of this place, and was patented Juae 21st, 1883 and is called " Irving's Patent Valve." It is made of rubber, is at- tached below the lowest valve in a pump, and is calculated to hinder any obstruction being drawn up with the water that would stick in the valve cans ing the pump to loose its priming. The invention was pronounced by ex- perienced pump manufacturers at the exhibition to be without a fault, and wondered at its simplicity and why they did not conceive the idea before. The invention was awarded a diploma, and is certain to prove a valuable im- provement to the pump business, while it cannot fail to be highly re- munerative to our fellow citizens who are handling it. One of them would not accept $5,000 for his share in the concern. Mr. Wm. Sargent's Patent Load Lifter was an object of considerable attraction. A large number have been in use present season through Caledon York, Markham, Vaughan, and other townships in that district, and those who have used them (who ought to be the best judges) were unanimous in speaking in the highest lerms of satis- faction with which this new invention did its work. The following te.-'timon- ial we give from among several dczen equally strong This is to certify that I have used one of Sargent's Load Lifing Machines and that it has given me entire satisfaction. I consider it one of the best labor-saving machines yet mcroduced, and would most strongly recom- mend it to all farmers. Henry D. Sandkr.s Sept.4,'83. Fair Bank P.O.,YorkTp CMeselff Fall SIM w. Thia show wms held m Markdale, on the 27th and 28th Sept The weather was ex- ceedingly cold rendering it very nncomfor- Ubly for those attending. The lateness of the harvest hindered a great many from at- tending, a large portion of grain being yet unhoused, it had also the effect of hindering many from exhibiting grain, roots, fruit Ac., not having sufBcient time to prepare such things for the show, consequently the exhi- bit in the above named classes were below that of former years. There was a fine dis- play of horses which shows that the best animals are not yet all bought up and taken out of the country. The quality of the exhi- bit all through was of a high order and the gate receipts satisfactory on the whole. The following is the list of prizes HOBSKS.

WiUiam Mr. Sargent has also attended the Guelpli and London fairs, and has been successful all round in receivint^ high commendations from the judges. There was no prize for this new inven- tion, so that the highest award avail- able was in the shape of being highly commended. The patentee, Mr. Sar- gent, has cleared this season alone in the neighborhoad of $10,000 from his â-  patent. South Grey Exhibition. The annual show of the S. G. Agricultural Society came oS on Tuesday and Wednesday last and was fairly attended. The display of horses and other stock was fully ahead of former years. Poultry was fairly represented, but field produce was rather shm, no doubt,' owing to the lateness of the season, and craly frosts. Fruit and garden vegetables were Kood. although not so numerous as we would like to see. Flowers, were ver^^ nice, and a slight imnrovemeut. The ladies' work was also improved, and the articles displayed were tastefully prepared, and showed that they were not just brought out to catch prizes where there was no competition. The chief exhibitors in ladies work were Mrs. MDner who is always to tlie fore Mr:'.Dr. Jamieson, who is a new resident amongst us, and we hope she will be on hand on f ature occasions; Miss Mockler and others. The articles, which we think most worthy of note were two fine Percheron horses, by Yost and McAlear a set of furniture by Geo. Kress an^a cone- work minature horfe by Mrs. Milner. But a look at the prize list will show who the ex- hibitors and prize takers were. As is usual n few "soap " vendors and other swindlers were on hand and some fools actually potrou- ized them. Surely people wiUlearn in time, and giyu all such individuala a wide berth. Everything passed off very satipfitictorial and with little disturbance. There are a few things we would like to see improved, among which, would be better prizes for field roots, which are not half what they should be, a little more encourafcement to fine arts, and a few classes for rare flowers and plants dropped and the prize unproved for the more common vanetieH.
