It is true that a good many of the people here yesterday came in from the surrounding country in buggies. All yesterday afternoon, and up until the late hours last night, buggies and vehicles ‘0! all descriptions, carry- ing therlfarmers and their families, The trains going away toâ€"night will no doubt will be crowded, but is be- lieved thafi a good many of the visi- . Friday is generally looked upon as the great fair day in Lindsay, but apparently this year it has changed. The trains that left the town last ev- ening did noe carry very many away, and the cars that came in this morn- ing were literally jammed. It is said that this is one of the largest crowds that have ever visited Lind- say fair, and it has already been stat- ed that the exhibition is the most successful. All the directors want- ed was good weather and thousands of people, and they have been favor- ed with everything so far that goes} to make a successful fair The ex- hibits are better and more numerpus, and there seems to be a general im- provement about the entire grounds. Having visited all of the main fea- tures of the exhibition the tired vis- itor to the fair now seeks refresh- ment and rest. Refreshment booths have been placed at different points throughout the grounds and have ev- erything there in the line of soft drinks, candies and fruit. For those who wish to take their dinner or sup- per on the grounds, the Ladies Aid of the Queen-st. Methodist church have arranged to serve meals in the spacious dining hall. an animal show that he claims is un- equalled in America, and is also con- trolling the famous Japanese acro- bats. The animal show is compos- ed of three monkeys. four bears ,sev- en dogs and ~an educated ant eater. The attraction has always travelled on the Keith and Proctor circuit, and is well known through the United States. From press clippings of the papers in the different cities the pro- fessor has visited the strange nature of this weird little ant eater is gath~ ered. This is the sixth fair that the show has visited this season, and has met with great success. The acrobats are all very clever. Prof. Apdale’s Show. Positively the most interesting at~ traction on the grounds is that under the direction of Prof. Apdale. He has The target practice, which is op- erated by Mr. Brooks, is sure to re- ceive a good patronage. The cigars look very tempting and the sport is enjoyed by all. Anxious to get rid of an abundance of flush coin‘hat has been stowed up all summer for this event. the small boy and the aged man are all alike in the sramble to be amused. The merry-go-round, which is run by Mr. Scriver. of Peterboro, was well patronized, and the good long rides on the whirling wooden steeds fills the youth with excitement, and he is not contented until he has gone 31'- ound several times. The. LyCeum, under the direction of Mr. J. W. Lamb, was the main attractions on the grounds. The splendid moving pictures of the Que- bec Tercentenary were shown. Hoky poky, double-jointed peanuts; here’s where you get a nice cider; the greatest wonder on earth, Come on gents, crawl up, tumble up, and if you can’t get up throw your money up. These are the cries from the dif- ferent stands that are heard all OVer the grounds, and without these the fair would be incomplete. The showman‘s speel and the fakirs’ remarks go to the making up of any fair, and although things are never what they are described, yet the peo- ple enjoy themselves and feel that‘ they have missed the best part of the ‘ fair unless they allow themselves to be persuaded by these speelers. will femain in town. over Sun- Mahar. are making their stand for the three days and their splendid display has been very favorably com~ mented upon.The idea is a good one for other firms to follow, and it shows that the popular clothing firm are en- deavoring to keep pace with the larâ€" ger exhibitions. This same display appeared at the Peterboro exhibition, and received much praise from the press of that town. Horses, Cattle and Poultry. Leaving the scene of merriment the; visitor jaunts over to another portion ‘ oi the ground where the men are apt to gather. This is where the county, has a. chance to do herself proud, and ' the directors of the fair claim that never before has such fine horses, cat- tle and poultry been sent in. The poultry is very well arranged and is one of the most interesting buildings to visit at the fair. (Daily Free Press, Sept. 26.) A tent that presents the appearance of a modern store stands out very conspicuous on the grounds, and a number of the visitors to the fair have been deceived. This is where Lang (Continued from page 1). , 1y exhibit of its kind on the grounds and is attracting the attention of the farmers. The Lindsay Central Fair Has PAGE SIX. The Refreshments.

Among the main features of the afternoon was the lady driving, in which several righs turned out in both the double and single class as follows: Team drivingâ€"~Miss Downey. 3f Reaboro, took first; Miss Teaska,*of Trenton, took second. ’ Then there was the trained animal show, which also proved of itself to be well worth the admission fee. It was lthe best thing of its kind ever wit- nessed on the Lindsay platform. Among the many animals which per- formed were bears, several dogs, monk- eys and the ant eater, whi‘chis claim- ed to be the hardest animal in the world to be trained. The monkeys performed many feats, while the most laughable of all was a large dog dress- ed as a lady, waltzing to a piece play-t ed on the banjo by Mr. Bruin. Anâ€" other feature of their performance was the race of the difierent animals in a circle on the platform, in which a cute monkey in a sulky, to which a large white dog was hitched, pulled out a winner in the last lap. ‘ The Kisbiguna J apa‘fiese troupe per- formed on the platform before the grand stand, and were up to their Imark made on Friday and certainly held their record as one of the finest sh0w troupes in the Dominion. They performed many sensational stunts. It has in past. years been heard from ,the crowd as being one of the failures of the Society to get good per- formers on the stand, but this year there is no room for complaint, as the many sensational tricks were of first-1 class quality. I The many and interesting midway shows were visited by the large crowd and enjoyed by all. Saturday, the third and last day of the Lindsay Central Fair, is over, and with it one of the finest and best days the Fair has ever had. There were between 13,000 and 15,000 people on the grounds, and all left thoroughly satisfied with the Fair. S‘ingleâ€" drivingLSevel-al entries were 2.22 Class.

( At 1.30 o’clock the interesting part of the progrannne took place before the grand stand in the clever acting of the trained bears and dogs, in which manv sensational tricks were perform- ed. The work done by these animals took many months to master. At 2 o'clock the first heat of the green race was run off, in which Pinch Light won out in a sensational manner. An amusing feature of the afternoon was the dog race which took place on the track at 1.15, and in which, after a tight run, Master Willie Pogue, of town. won the mile heat in a sensa- tional manner. at every heat run, Judge Sinclair. starter, had many hard and close decisions to fathom, but they prbved satisfactory to all. The m’ain features of the afternoon were the 2.22 horse race and the green race, which kept the crowd guessing Among the many attractions was the Lindsay Sylvested Band, which furnished the music for the the day. and among the several selections were a couple of marches played at the Quebec Iercentenary. About twelve thousand people were on the grounds, and left well pleased after the exhibition. The gates were opened yesterday morning at 10 o’clock and a continual rush was kept up un- til they closed at 10 o’clock in the evening. ; The Fair has in the past been held in the public's eyes as one of the most interesting holidays which they can look forward to, and also has been looked upon as one of the finest fairs for special attractions that- can be found in Central Ontario. But never before has the agricultural committee been so well satisfied With any attrac- tion as that of the Kishyruna Japanese troupe which appeared on the stage yesterday.

On Sunday evening at the church service, Rev. M2}, Snowdon oflered special prayers for run. The schoolhouse was burned last Tuesday night. The fire began about 11 o’clock, and as everything was very dry it burned rapidly. Mr. Parrington had to be very active to save his buildings, as the wind was in that direction. It is expected that school will begin during the present week in the C.O.F. hall, and steps will at once be taken to build a new school. ‘ Miss Patience Morgan, of Albert Col- lege, Belleville, is at present visiting her sister, Mrs. J.

TH E‘ MARATHON RACE. The Marathon race, which was won by Adams, of Toronto, with Dunn, of Barrie, second, proved very exciting. these two runners outdoing the many opponents. At times Adams would make a sprint, for lead, but would be closely followed by Dunn, who kept about two feet behind Adams from the beginning.
