The Cannington Gleaner of last week in apologizing to its readers for only a partial prize list of the township of Brock Agriculcural Society's late show gave as a reason tor not publishing the complete lis. thar some editor took away the Secretary's list without the know- ledge or consent of the said Sec'y.-- We took the list but with the ful knowledge and consent of the Secre tary. The Secretary is made of sterner stuff thaa to allow. anyone the opportunity of removing any o his papers without his knowledge ox consent; and for our own part we would much rather assist our cotem in obtaining the list thaa siand in the way of his getti g it. Being busy around the grounds till; the close of the show we then went to the Secretary's office to copy off the the list but here we found the repre- sentative of ancther paper copying the prize listand well on with it.-- We did not wish to interrupt him and waited till he was throngh.-- By this time it was quite dark and no convenience for taking off the prize list there. the Sec'y said that as no one else appeared to want it and as he would be in Port Perry on the following day we might take the list with us, copy it off at home and return it to him when he came io Port Perry. We were thankful for the opportunity of thus getting home sooner than we otherwise bave done, and this was something as the maiter bad to bein type early next morning. But had the Sec'y supposed {hut anyone would require toe list after that time in the even. ing he w uld not have let it go and we would have remained and copied t. We believe that it will be conceded by all who have ever attended any of the shows of the township of Brock Agricultural Society that a more careful, accurate, obliging. tary than Mr. Glendinning is not to be found in the province. : AN IMPROVEMENT.

Fall Show. The North Ontario Agriculiural Society held their fall show for 1878 on Erday and Saturday, 11th #nd 12th inst. The 16th and 17th ult. bad been selected as the time for boldiv ; suid show but the lste eleciio s being appointed for the 17.a .he society bad to change their (ime and the 11th and 12th inst., were he , earliest days they could find wilhout 'interfering with other shows; 2nd 0 | .he credit of the parties who i» d | this matter in hand they scruprlcvs. ly avoided interfering with the time of any other show ani in oruer to avoid all interference they put off their show till the 11th and 12th.-- Had they have been selfish in he matter, they might have selected other days and crowded out some weaker show, but they showed a praiseworthy magnanimity in re specting the claims of all in ihe selection of the time. Fortunately the weather on both days was most propitious. Friday was all that could be desired for bringing in and {arranging those articles proper to ito he brought in the first day ; and ere evening there was found such a display in the Floral Hall as was never before equalled in any show held in the County of Ontario; this is true as well for quantity as quality of the display, while the arrange- ment was uch as give the display its full weight. That large and commodious Hall is well adapted for the purpose of a Floral Iall. On the evening of the first day some two hundred and fifty or so of the villagers and surroundings held a promenade concert on the grounds and in the Hall This of itself, at 25 cents each as was charged on the following day, would net over $62. The compe'ition among the lady organists took place on the first evening. The second day was, if possible, more pleasant than the first, the countenances of those interested were no less bright than the morning, flags wore flying in all directions, and the busy hum of preparation was heard from all quarters, while the horses, cattle, sheep, &c., were being hurried to the grounds. On entering the Hall the magnifi cent display which met the eye could scarcely fail in imparting a feeling of satisfaction at the plentirul tokens of the energy, intelligence and skill of the numerous fair con- tributors to whose exertion we were indebted for this grand display. The more useful, if less ornamental cecu- pied that prominence to which they are justly entitled. So varied and abandant was the display made by the ladies in every department that to notice them : pecially, however briefly, would carry us beyound our bounis of space, or cause us to pass unnoticed many equally deserving vith others we lud noticed. We would only add that the abundance and excellence of the display do infinite credit to the industry and intelligence of the lady exhibitors. The show of stoves, brass and tin furpiture, &e., was very complete and attracted much attention. Mr. Courtice showed some very {ine harness. The Uxbridge Organ Factory was well represented, if not in quan:ity, at least in quality of the instrumenis shown. In Sewing Machines there weie three exhibitors : Mr. Heap from Manchester, Mr. Tapper, of Port Perry, and Mr. Dale, from Uxbridge. i Mr. Heap's new machine, named lu White," appears to have all the requisites about it to secure popular favor. There is no waste of material about it, little machinery, and there is consequently little or no liability '0 go out of order, and its range ot work is so wide as to render it n thoroughly tamily machine, fitted to do all work, heavy or light, required in the family, while its simplicity makes it easily wrought, and in no | way liable to get out of order. Such a machine caznot fail in recommend- ing itself to the choice of every family wishing aserviceable, reliable r-achine fitted for ali work. Mr. Heap is a thoroughly reliable, expe- iienced agent. Mr. Tapper was on hand with his famous *" Wanzer." This is asplen did machine, and has many superior qualities to recommend it to public | :uvor, ard Mr. Tupper has been suc- i cessful in placing this machine ia very many families wh have no cause to regret their choice. Mr. 'Tupper is reliable and punctual as an agent. Outside the Hall the Show was bighly ivteresting. A magnifi- cent display of poultry caught the attention on first entering the gate, and nu where else in the Province could one sve a better collection. Mr. W. H. Browne, who is now the cading breeder ia the Province, [» owed some beauties which were the admiration of all who saw them. Mr.Browne now suoplies with choice und fancy breeds. the greater part of this section of country, he is a most successful breeder, and will keep none but the best varieties. Parties purchasing from Mr. Browne have the satisfaction of knowing thau his birds are all that they are represented to be. The show of carriages was very fine. Mr. McLaughlin, of Oshawa, Mr. Conboy, of Uxbridge, and Mr. W. C. Heard, of Manchester, were the principal exhibitors, and the display was creditable to them. The show of wagons was also good if not extensive. Mr. Coone of 'Manilla swept the boards here also and carried off the first prize, his wazon is a beaucy. Our townsman + a a Watson & Hall of this town show-- ed many valuable implements and 'who took the on the 80 that all could eee who the 3 takers were. This proved | ghly satisfactory. mschines. plows always ever they are known, have been vastly improved by the substitution of iron for woodeu frames. This plow is mueh thought of by all who use it and it deserres the preference which is given it. Mr. Rowe's gang plow and seed drill are superior implements and universal favorites with farmers, they do their work to perfection, are light, durable and cheap. The mor theseare known the better they arc liked and we have little doubt but Mi Rowe's ingenuity will yet be recom- peuced in these implements. I'he show of reapers and mowers was quite extensive and the quality the very best, but it is difficult to show with the Brown Whitty Harvester 80 extensively and so tavorably known; it is a comparitively new machine but has already found its way on many farms, those that can get it will take no other. TheWhitby Agriculural Works have been taxed to their utmost in the past to supply the demund and have not succeeded. Farmers after trial are the best judges of the merits of machines. The Toronto Mower showed to much advantage, the movement of the knives is a novelty butllike work. The Kirby and Champion were both here. What with Plows, Seeders, Harrows, Cultivators, Rakes, &c. &e, the display was a magnificent one and drew large crowds who discuss- ed their several meri.s. Mr. A. C Brown showed his Earl's patent Cloties Dryer. This is a most desirable family implement occupies little space, is casily hand- led, secures the clothes from dirt and hastens the drying process.-- The ladies admired it. Every home should have ene. In passing to the live stock those who expected to eee a good shew in this department were mot disap- pointed. Mr. F. H. Elliot's now famous Hymen, an imported thor- oughbred blood, is a noble animal, handsome as a picture, and already famous as a first ¢lass stock animal. The more he is known the better he is liked, and wherever he has travel. led one "season they are anxious to have him again. The enterprising proprietor deserves the thanks of the community for importing, at no small risk, and very considerable expense, an animzl of so much im- portance in the improvement of onr horses. Mr. Elliot's two year old is also a fine animal. Mr. Geo Byers showed a fine blood mare. In the Saddleor Carriage Stallions there was a good show. Thomas Tordiff showed a fine one, and Mr. W. B. McGaw, of the Walker House, here, showed a beauty. William darper's saddle or carriage mme carried off first prize from 14 com- petitors, all fine animals; John Claughton showed a fine one, and took second prize. Amongst eight fine two-year old fillies, W. C. Heard's carried off first prize--she is a beauty. Mr. John Stonehouse also showed a splendid animal in this class which took second prize. In span of Carriage Horses, John McLeod's took first prize trom six competitors ; they make a neat span; John Kirton also shoved a fine tezm which took second prize. Amongst twenty-two single drivers it was no easy matte place prizes and if mistakes were made such mistakes could only be attributed to the difficulty of ae- ciding where so many fine animals competed. The three prize( animals were deserving Kellet's, Johnson's and Carmichael's. In Canadian bred Draught Stall- ions Robert Dobson showed worthy animal which carried oft first prize. L. Burnetts' one year old Draught stallion is a beauty and will doubtless prove a valuable ad- dition to our first class stock breed- ers. In the span Draught horses there shown. Wm. Coate's team was deservedly admired by all who saw them; Wm Jeffery's team was also worthy of a prize. CarriE.--The show of cattle may not have been quite as numerous on this as on some previous occasions but when the quality of the animals is considered the show of cattle must be regarded as a decided success. -- T. Coate's yearling thorough-bred bull is a fine one, There were some handsome thorough bred bull calves, Wm. Shier and L. Burnett were the Principal exhibitors. In thorough- red cows there were ten competit- ors nearly all choice animals but R. Dobson's got 1st, Joseph Bryant's crowded her pretty hard and got 2nd; L Burnett's secured 3rd. The five two year old heifers shown were all capital animals, Wm Shier's took 1st and 2nd prizes; T. Coates' took 3rd. Of the seven one-year old thorough bred heifers shown Mr, A. Earhbhman's look first prize. It would be difficult to find her equal anywhere in the province she is really a prize animal, \ Robert Dobson showed, also, an excellent one-year old, and took second prize; L. Burnett came in for third prize. Joseph Moffat's herd of thorough-bred cattle was creditable to his liberality and enterprize in encouraging an improvement in our stock of cattle. His herd took first prize, Suger.--At no previous show in 4bis | County bas the display of sheep been ag all equal to that of the late show. It was struggle was between Tiffin and Dix ; their shows were highly creditable to them, and the contest might almost be regarded a draw, in the matter of prizes taken. In the Cotswold class the struggle was more ex- splendid aged ram, which toek first prize. Aaron Thompson took second, hs too is a fine animal. Joseph Thompson showed a five Shearling Ram. Of fifteen Shearling Rams, Jas. TlLompson & Sons took first prize ; James Graham's two ewes took first prize; Chas. Pascoe' took second, There were twenty-iwo handsome ewes. were 14 entries and many fine teams | really grand. In the Leicester class the | tended, Joseph Ward led the van with 5 Swine. --In the class Swine the show was somewhat limited in quantity, but the quality was good, Joseph Ward's fine I'erkshire Boa: led off the class, taking first prize, D. | Christie's breeding sow was regarded by all as a fine animal, she cartied off the first prise aud deserved it, In Boar Pigs D. Christie's carried off all the prizes. In the Suffolk class John Parker showed some superior animals, which earried off prizes wherever shown. His breeding sow took first, his boar pig took first, and his sow pig took first, and they deserve it. The grounds are spacious, furnishing abundant accommodation for all purposes ot ! such shows, of course it would require con. siderable labor to level it as it ought to be, and the idea of cropping it is out of the question; it would require to be seeded down will have to be found ere it will pay to keep grounds or any other accommodation in proper condition. Township and County Shows too will ere long give way to Central Shows whose head-quarters will be located permanently in central locations. Such will be a move in the right direction. Large as our grounds are, however, they are not large enough to accommodate those swells who appear to take pride in driving amongst the crowds of those who go to see what is to be shown at the Fair, and not to show them- selves off as do our Jehu's as they drive throu:h and over the crowd with their bor- rowed horse and unpaid for buggy. Doubt. lecs the swells thought themselves very magnificent as they'drove over the grounds, yassing through the thickest crowds, and smiling at their own mightinesses when they saw the ladies running and dodging to get out of the}way of some blundering nabob or some would-be swell who would not deign to walk the common level of those blawsted common people, especially when a few cents will secure them this ephemeral mock rovalty, If the Directors of the Society choose to pander to the starch and buckram of their mounted mightinesses we have no objection, but we have a right to demand that the real ladies and gentlemen of the crowd--the sons and daughters of toil--ghall not be trampled down by a pack of would-be aristocrats, whose only aim in attending such shows ia to display their own august personages, and their doubtfully acquired rigs, and especially as this splenda- cious spread costs them only a few cents -- We suggest to the Directors that in future a pen be built in one corner of the ground, and that the mounted and driving swells of both sexes be kept in that particular corner where they may display their grandeu s without annoying the crowds and the people could pay occasional visits to the swell's pen, and see their braw claiths, The show in every particular was a grand success but there is no other feature connect- ~d with it move encourazing or of which we have equal cause to feel proud than the very large gathering of owderly, intelligent com- fortable lookin people who thionged the villaze, the Hall and the gvounds on that day, and w he exception of the nabobian display everything went off to a charm auc general salistacion was the resalt, The fine music foinished by the Ushrldge Bras® Band added mnch to the pleasne of the laige numbers who visited the gonnds This is a fine Band they have a neat inelh gent appesiance have an upright manly bear ing and know how to fuoraisxh good musicand lots of it. They are creditable to themselves and un honor to the village f:om which they hail, There were in all nearly fourteen handr:d entries. Amount 6t cash fiom gates, booths and promenade was $530, Cartwright Fall Show. The Township of Cartwright Agricultural Society held their Fall Show for 1878 ¢ Thursday and Friday, 10th and 11 inst, The first day was all that could be desired | for bringing in material for the Floral Hall, |and the consequence was that sufficient was | brought in to make a most respectable Hall, |as well for the quantity as the quality of the exhibit. The several articles were | judiciously placed so as to make the hall a attractive as possible. The necessary judges were set to work in order to have the hall ready for the public at as early an hour as possible on the second day, while this was only the first day ot the Show quite a goodly | number of parties were in the village, The second day rose bright and cherful and produced a similar effect on the entire surroundings, and at quite an early hour parties might be seen bringing along the several animals, machines, implements, ete., } which shou 1d go to form the show outside of | the Hall, On arriving at the village, tough at a somewhat early hour, everywhere activity and stir was manifest, and all arrivals were received in that frank™ and kindly manner for which the inhabitants of that township | are so deservedly esteeme !, and which makes outsiders who visit that village anxious to visit it again. Already mine hosts Bryans and Dewart, with their active staffs, were bu providing for their guests and mal preparations for those yet to come, and the accommodation was all that could be desired. The Town of Bowman, ville was numerously and respectably repre sented, amongst others Col.' Cubitt 'was present, louking active and cheerful ; the worthy Reeve of Darlington was also present.

On entering the floral hall the display that met the eye told its own tale as to the in- dustry good taste of the fair competitors whose handy work fully sustained their re- putation for intelligence and activity, The show of blankets, quilts. coverlets, plaids, shawls, stockings, full cloth, flannel and such other articles as secure comfort no less than ornament showed that the fair ones had an eye to both in their well directed effort, and while this one and that carried off the prizes those who did not succeed in obtainin prizes have nu cause to be ashamed of their work for all of it deserved prizes and it oust have bothered the judges in many instances to know how to place the prizes, While much attention had been bestowed in furnishing the Hall with those things which combine so largely the useful with the plensant, the fancy part was by no In the class Southdowns Wm.

Tbe show of fruit was good, the Apples, {hough not in quantity, really did surpass in quality, any shown in North Ontario this season, The active dairy maids had reason to feel proud of their show of Butter, which was! both generous and choice ; and the show of bread proved that the ladies who made it can hold their own with any other commun. ity in making first-class bread. OUTSIDE THE HALL. The show on the grounds was no less im- pc-tant, and for many much more attractive then that within the Hall. Here the Agri- cu'tural Implements] and Machines held a prominent place, Mr, Sylvester, of the Enniskillen Agricul- and kept in sod, but a permanent location taral Works had several of his excellent C. Dawes has instruction from the propri- plows on show ; he showed also a gang plow, a straw cutter and a Queen of the West fanning mill. Mr. Sylvester's col- lection was carefully examined and much periority of such articles. Nothing but the most reliable machines and implements are sent out from these works, and all who know facturer of machines and implements Mr, Sylvester's reputation stands high. Mr. Porter, of Bowmanville, showed handseme, serviceable plows. Mr. T, Holmes, of Williamsburg had two choice and handsome wagons on shew, such wagons as all our farmers want, hese fine wagons prove Mr. Holmes' success as a first class builder of wagons, or of any other description of carriage, aud parties wanting a good carriage know to leave their orders with him, In Live Stock the show of pigs was very light, and not of much account, In sheep the show was grand and the competition spirited, The improvement in the sheep is very marked. In the class cattle the pro. gress is very far from being what might be expected from a liberal, intelligent commun- ity like Cartwright, In horses the show was really fine; our Cartwright friends pride themselves on grod horses us was obvious from the display made in this class. The grounds were in fine condition; a slight outlay in way of leveling would Le a profitable investment and a few dollars invested in ropes for a couple of rings in which to show the horses would be a move in the right direction, V'oe officers and directors did all in their power to render the show a perfect success to secure the conveni-nce of exhibitors and the comfort of spectators, If three for every one who are now members would turn in and assist in making the society what it onght to be by becoming mem"ers them- selves, doing what they can to get others to join and otherwise pushing forward the society then and not till then will the society yield such fruits as might be expected of it. Surely no one would regard a dollar a year as too much to secure a first-class agricul- tural society.

An Important Daily Supply. In a climate like that of Canada where the somewhat excessive heats of summer make the cooling qualitics of ice not only desirable for comfort but necessary to heahh, it is of the utmost importance to know how and where a regular supply of that important article can be tound. It is useless to say that partics can Iny up supplies for them selves, for this, in very many instances is not profitable, if they can be supplied in any other wav, We are pleased to learn that M:. J. L. Watkis contemplates erecting a commodions and properly constructed Ice House to store a sufficient quantity of pure ice so as to furnish a daily supply through. out the summer to all who may require it This will be found the best and cheapest way of securing a daily supply of pure ice.
