Markdale Spring Show.

The best Spring Fair ever held in Markdale took place last Tuesday. The weather was gorgeous, and the exhibit both large and very fine. Trimble & Pickell's imported Clydesdale, "Lord Derby," was much admired by all. There is perhaps no better horse in Canada of his class. The exhibit altogether was indeed creditable, and worthy of a much more lengthy notice than our space will permit. There was altogether 16 entries. W. & J. Anderson's thoroughbred Durham bull is a fine young animal, and A. [Cairns] showed a good Ayrshire both of which secured a prize. Great satisfaction was expressed for fair play and good management. _Price List:_ Imported Draught Stallion, Trimble & Pickell, "Lord Derby," 1st prize and Diploma for best horse on the ground. General Purpose--1st, McLeod & Whirter, "British Ensign"; 2nd, J. Manarey, "King Tom." Canadian Draught--1st, W. J. Shepherdson, "Scotland." Roadster or Carriage--1st, Trimble & Gilknison, "Young Coachman"; 2nd, John Gawldy, "Royal George." Blood Horses--1st, Thos. Campbell, "Young Terror"; 2nd, R. Freeborn, "Royal George." Messrs. Wm. Jackson, J. H. Carson, and Geo. Noble had each a fine display of agricultural implements and made a number of sales.
