On Saturday morning, Mr. Frank Collinson. son of Mr. G. Collin801-. Aherilman, met wit it what might have proved a serious accident. He was at the l}. '1'. R. Station and had back- i the wagon and horses to the edge of the. platform. Suddenly, without any warning, the horses jumped and ran. They tried to turn in the yard but a ‘VOOllpile prevented them, one horse being caught by it, and thus holding them. \Vhether the voung mun tried to jump. or was thrown wot by the shogk we cannot say, but .he was thrown violently out of the vehiule on to the woodpile. cutting his fétce badly. In the fall his limbs were caught in the wheels, but for- tunately. at this moment the tongue broke and the hors‘es ran as far as Mr. Crawford’s, where they were .miught.

Two young men by the name of Gatfield, who lived here until four or five years ago, seeingi some overcoats hanging in front of‘ Mr. Mockler’s store determined to treat themselves and each captured one. They then started for the station and boarded a box car with their booty. Chief Constable Carson being informed. wired Holstein and rConductor Lavelle discovered the ltwo who skipped out leaving the coats behind. The thieves have not I yet been caught.

I could not see you again before leav- ing your town on 29th where I had the honor and pleasure of acting as Judge on poultry at vour late show. But as I did not get through until 5 o’clock you will easily:see why I did not. However if not too late would like to make a tow remarks as to what I con- sider the most important part of the Show (because the most profitable)â€" vizâ€"The Poultry. Well sir, to say that I was surpris- ed to see such a large exhibit of such very fine birds is putting it very mild indeed, and although in a few varie- ties the entries were not many you are to be complimented on the qual- ity shown. Light Brahmas, though not in force were a very fair lot on the whole. Black Brahmas were rath- er below the average but in bad fea- ther at present. Cochins, small ex- hibit. Medium Barred Rocks, out in full force, all being good birds espec- ially the winning pair of young birds,‘ the cockeral being a beauty, just the color we so much admire in this varie- ty but so seldom got. In fact the whole exhibit of Barred Rocks were ; above the average. The White Rocks were a large exhibit, but on account of foul feathers on some of them. the largeso and fin-est birds did not win ; and right here Mr. Editor allow me to say that no show can be judged honestly and fairly without each bird being handled. Why ? Because, by the old system of poking them up with a stick and awarding the prize to the largest pair. regardless of dis- qualification is senseless and injurious and has done more to ruin this branch of our fall shows than any one thing. POULTRY EXHIBIT. I must say that the Durham fanciers are the most honest I have ever seen and take a delight in showing their birds in their natural state. but in some places the fancier removes the objectional feathers, arguing that the 1‘ judge cannot disqualify for what is not there at the time of judging. Quite right boys, be honest. Wyan- dotsâ€""A large lot and fine birds but I in bad feather. Black Javas--A fair 1 exhibit but what was short in quan- tity was made up in quality, the win- ning birds being capable of going in- to the best company in the land. Fine, large typical birds throughout Games No. 1 throughout. Piles,‘ ‘Black Reds all up to date. Black Spanish, small exhibit and in poor form, some of the young birds too young to show. White and brown Leghorns, medium. The winning pair of whites were fine staticned birds, rather too much comb. Brown not just what we could wish but young, will improve with age. l Geese, Ducks and Turkeys were very fair some fine Embden and Grey geese being shown. Minorcas also were a good exhibit. some No. 1 birds be- ing shown, but young. Bantams were a large exhibit but in bad form, having not been properly handled, Several pairs consisting of Dark Bra- . hmas, Spanish were too young and ‘ should not have been showed, but on the whole the managemert are to be congratulated on their effort. Thank- ing the Managers, one and all for their kindness, not forgetting your worthy manager, Mr. James Allan, and your able secretary, and trust- ing that before another year comes round in place of taking half it may él take a whole day.

Only a nominal ten cent charge was made, and many of the privileged ones went free. Per- sonally. we feel that the manage- ment is in good hands and the Society is bound to succeed. There were 72 exhibitors, and 556 entries recorded. Amongst the distinguished visitors at the Fair we noticed Dr. Mearns of Hanover, and D. McNichol, M. P. P. We overheard one of‘ the Directors say that the latter gentleman had presented theSociety with a substan- tial donation. The fruit was a rather inferior dis- play. the roots and garden vegetables good. The Dairy productions show skill in that line. Mr. Brown of Durham and Mr. Chapman of Mount. Forest deserve credit for the fine diaplay of photo- graphs exhibited. Excellent music was furnished by the 313t. Batt. Band, under the able leadership of Prof. Peel. Their pleasing strains made the day more joyous and many a Scottish heart was made rejoice at the sound of the pipes. The Concert in the Hall in the evening was a financial success. The dancing of the Highland Fling by Master and Miss Galbiai‘; h of Mt. Forest, and the Iiish Jig by the lat- ter were neatly executed, The Sing- ing by the Keith family was excellent. “ The British Lion ” by Mr. Daniel Keith was well received and loudly encored. Dr. Elliott’s political re- cital was highly interesting, but in our humble judgment the star of the evening was Miss Wenger in her Scotch songs. The Holstein Drama- tic Society also gave a couple of ex- thibitions. Miss Orchard. Mr. Geo. Reekie of Heathcote gave us a call on Thursday. wMiés Maggie Buchan returned home from Stratford on Saturday last.
