SOME F1 EXHIBITS, Agriculture at the Canadian National Exhibition. Toronto, Sept. 6.--~The live stock features at the Canadian National Ex hibition, now in its second week, are much the same as in past years. The dairy classes, which were judged last woek, were of the usual hipth order in: sofar as quality is concerned. ly num- hers, Holsteins were fur ahead of any exhibit in previous years. Ayrshires were much fewer in number than or dinary, The large herds of Messrs, R. R. Ness, Howick, Que., and Robt. Hunter & Sons, Maxville, Ont., were not showing. 'They were missed de cidedly. Jerseys were of the usual high mi years past been equal, if not ahead, of the showing made this year. The exhibition, so far as Jersevs are con cerned, seems to have becom' almost wholly monopolized hy the larger ox hibitors--moneved men--against whom the smaller exhibitor fears to com- pete, The judging of horses was proceeded with throughout the first week of the exhibition and continued this week, The horses wers not up to the usual standard of the Toronto exhidition in point of numbers. In the aged Clydes- dale classes for stallions, Grabam Bros., Claremont, took the first on Mikado and third on Favorites: Heir Hazzard won second with Kilnhill Vie- tor; Smith and Richardson of Colum- bus, Out, Jot fourth and sixth prizes; and Hodkinson and Tisdale got fifth. A stable of Percherons was the object of much interest on the part of sibht- seers. This vear for the first a special class was allowed for them. Hawthorn of Simcoe, Ont., was the principal ex- hibitor, It was anticipated that the Short- horn classes would be of especial in- terest this vear. Two large herds from western Canada, those of Sir William Van Horne, East Selkirk, Man., and H. L. Emmert, East. Selkirk, Man.. were to compete with the large and old established herds from Ontario, chief among which are W., C, Edwards & Co. Rockland, Ont., Geo. Amos & Sons, Moffat, Ont, A. F. & G. Auld, Eden Mills, Ont., J. Gardbhouse & Sons, Highfield, Ont., D., Birrell & Sons, Greenwood, Ont., James Leask, Greenbank, Ont., and others. The sheep and swine were not judged during the early days of the show. The exhibit on the whole is a ereditable one. In the sheep cinsses, so far as the judging had been completed at the time of writing, John Campbell, Woodville, was well at the top with his 8 ites. In Oxfords, Peter Arkell showed a beautiful lot of stuff. He cleaned up most of the prises-An- Whitelaw, Guelph, and A. W. Smith, Maple Lodge, Ont., along with others, exlvbited an extra fine lot of Lejcestors, Smith had the first aged ram, and the first shearing ram, and The main part of the fruit exhibits, as usual, were not at the exhibition until this week.

London, Sept. 6.~Theodore Roose colt's demand that the United States fortily the Panama canal, set forth in his speech at Omaha, jx character- ized by the Westminster Gazetie as "a direct rejection of the tems of the American and British agreement of 1901, under which the neutraliza- tion of the canal is guaranteed. The carrying out of such a plan," the Gazette says, "would mean the tear ing up of the agreement." The paper admits it to be reasonable that the United States should assume some military control over the new waterway, but suggests to the former president that the United States should secure any desired alteration of the terms of the agreement "through diplomatic methods, and not by a repudiation of its engage ments." -------------- ' + BERNARD N, BAKER, 'resident of the National Conservation Congress The medéting, which will be eld in Si.

Deseronto, Sept. 6.---The Boy Scouts movement has taken hold of the boys of Deseronto, and under thé able man- agement of Major Malley and Sergt Taylor, they are being taught every- thing - pertaining to military affairs.

Major Malley is at the head of the movement, and is out with the scouts every night. Sergt. Taylm takes the scouts Gut for a trip in the evenings, when not under instruction in artillery.
