Barrie Fair of 1908 must be writ- ten down as another big event in a long string ofsuccessful years. Large crowds were in attendance on Tues- day, the only drawback being the what uncomfortable for those outside. -Still no great fault could be found with the -weather man, considering the previous day, and the directors are now all wearing the smile of contentment over the continued good fortune which seems to follow in ` their foot steps. The gures for the chilly air which. rendered it some`` gate receipts are not at hand, but it is understood that the record will be` quite equalled, which fact must be taken as eminently satisfactory. `In the main buildingythe exhibits! exhausted most of the floor space.` A gratifying fea.ture'was the display made by a number of local business houses, and this, idea might be ex- tended in the future with consider- able advantage to those concerned. The fruit and vegetable department` was much superior to last year. Dairy products were, as usual`, well repres-l ented. The specimens of ladies work| occupied a prominent position in the north east corner of the building, and excited much interest. Fine Arts ran about the same as in previous years. In regard to this section, it might be well for the directors to give greaterl `encouragement to purely amateur ef- fort. No more laudable object could be promoted. - - The exhibit of fowl in the poultry building was of high class, although perhaps not so extensive as on; some former occasions. All the favorite breeds were to be seen. This por- tion of the Fair was well patronized,` thus showing the popularity and im- portance of what must be recognized` as a growing industry. I s2 ._ _ Down at the live stock- sheds and at the stables there was aconstant stream of visitors. The County 0f\ Simcoe. has always maintained an enviable .reputation for the number and quality of her farm animals. This year proved no exception to the rule. There was as ne a show of cattle land sheep asone could wish to see.` Swine were of -good quality, but not [so numerous.
