- Full Text
The most delightful weather favores this exhibition throughout, but, owing doubtless to the fact that Collingwood and South Grey fall shows were going on at the same time. The exhibit in many respects fell below that of former years, yet the attendance was well up to the average, the gate receipts being $194.The show of horses were fair in number, but below the average in quality. In cattle there was a very large exhibit, chifely grades. Mr. Jake Halley lost a fine cow on the way to the exhibition by being overheated. R. Oliver had a fine herd of Devons, and O'Brien Bro's had a good herd of Shorthorns. The exhibit of sheep was good, and W. J,. Shepherdson was the chief exhibitor, having 37 head of very fine sheep. There were but few pigs. In the agricultural implement and machinery line there was an almost entire absence of either. Mr. J. H. Heard of Flesherton, showed a large gate which is well worthy of favorable mention, and should be seen on every farm. We will give further details and prize list next week.
