Markdale Spring Show was held ~last Saturday and was a decided succ- cess. The day was dry and a stiff "breeze from the west which increased 'into a gale, made overcoat 'and gloves a comfort and a -necessity. A large numbers of fine BtallioDS were on exhibit, 16 having entered for com- petition. A remarkable feature in our Spring Show is the introduction late years and increased attention given to heavy horses, especially the Imported Clydesdale. Only a few years ago it was not considered necessary 'to offer a prize to ' folds her arm* and. like ^poor liioaw- ber, "weiteiorsQmetiungtotaznnp:*' Of cbareesometluog will torn npâ€" it always does.

Of course Flesherton will also permit this with its usual indifferance." In re- ference to "Markdale appropriating a position in the Methodist church to which she was not entitled," we may state that on a division being made of the Owen Sound District at Con- ference, and the new^ District mapped out, Markdale was found to be located 1^ miles off the centre geographically; it was the most important business place in the jurisdiction and had first class railway facilities, so that the conference could not in justice, make any other circuit the head of the District, and it was thus named Markdale District without any inter- ferance on the part of Markdale â€" not -s^r /u Don't buy Dress Goods until you see McFabland's Immense Assort- ment. imported,heavy draughthorses as there was none to compete, but now we find i' so Flesherton nevertheless more attention and greater competi- j by to im- tion in this class than any other. The exhibit was pronounced competent and prominent judges be the best ever held in this place. The competition in bulls was small but what there was were thoroughbred • aud really good animals. " There was a large display of Ipemeuts exhibited by Messrs Bebee, Carson, Jacksoa and Noble, all of which attracted attention. A very important and much desired part of Spring Shows is able and im- partial judging, and these rualilies were leadmg features in our Show The judges were Mr. E. Rand of To- ronto, WalterJNichoU, Dundalk, and Frank Burton of Holland. We do not by any means wish to ruake little of our local men as bein? incompetent to judge fairly and with ability, yet wjould favor the selection for such purposes a Judge from a dis- tance, one fully master of his business and who had no interest or knowledge whatever of individual exhibitors. The system of only one judging is fast coming in use as well as in favor, and we believe it is aTgood one. EDITORIAL NOTES.
