who would have otherwise been present and enjoyed themselves of course mr eamsays singing was the feature o the evening and it is needless to ay that everyone was delighted with his impersonations his goose and frenchv weie especially good he recited tbe old maid as an encore and death doomed by special re quest the latter deing of a tragic nature would be considered out ot the line of a comic singer but ramsay did it well and the audience preserved a deathlike stillness miss pearces re citations were very cleverly done and this gifted lady is always sure of a warm reception by a stouffville audi ence mrs a fleury sang twice and was reealledcteiitime although suf fering from a cold her singinir was very pleasing and evidently appreci j ared mr mccarty sang to fill up a yap in

it nearly always does but this vear the weather was emphatically beastly neverthe less there was a splendid show of art icles in all the classes the total number of entries being over 1000 the largest ever known at stouffville fair the exhibit in the main building was especially good where every available corner was occupied by some article of fancj work fruit butter etc it would be unwise to make any reterence to particulars as the list of prize winners below will probably give a correct idea of the best articles and any mans attempt to describe the wonderful array of needlework re presenting the labor of a good many hours would be absurd the fruit and grain samples were good and quite up to the average in quality and num bers the larjje number of special prizes for butter brought out an im mense amount ot that useful and ne- cesary article which serves to lubri cate the passage down mortals throats of the staff of life over which ex hibit smiled a large portrait of aid sanarster looking as if a piece of the aforesaid product of the bovine wouldnt melt in his mouth the honey exhibit was exceedingly good being very tastefully arranged other exhibits were bookers art creamer which drew a god deal of at tention the new raymond sewing machine dominion organ and several makes of stoves in the open was the usual display ot implements shown by a fleury and sonahlvanzant for a harris co h oliver for sylvester bros etcetc the number of horses cattle sheep etc- exhibited was abcut the average but was of course not so large as it would haye been had the day been fine the remainder of the prizewinners is unavoidably held over till next weefr the principal attraction on monday was a football match in the afternoon between green river and gormley the game was hotly contested throujrh- ed ball and scored two goals before time was called the game was a very quiet and gentlemanly one aud the winners may feel proud of their j victory mr f h sangster acted as referee with good judgment and con siderable exertion to keep pace with the play up and down the field the steady rain on monday night and tuesday rendered progress or the grounds very difficult but a fairly- good crovd was in attendance and amused themselves in the usual way according to their several tastes the men standing in groups about the grounds examining the livestock or listing to the glib talk of the imple ment agents as they pointed out the various good points and latest improve ments in their machines the ladies for the most part were confined to the building and the grand stand the boys of course were everywhere squandering their wealth on grapes etc experimenting with cigarettes and speculating as to who would prove to be the handsomest lady on the srrounds in the judges opinion for of course each boy had an opinion of his own the only one thing needed in order to have made the fair a great success was good weather horses judges john forester henry f michell adam hood stallions
