IThe Fair Injured by the Rain. Two days lit-fore the 21111 prospects were never brighter for a large attendâ€" ance and a large number of exhibits for the Fair. It is tiue nearly every day brought showers (1f1'21in, but those most interested retained their hopcfub ness until the morning of the Fair. Then the most hopeful were doomed to disappointment as it was quite- ovi- dcnt. that little pleasure could be had in walking around through mud and Wet grass. But notwithstanding the rain it was surprising to see the. large. number of entries in horses, cattle, poultry and other exhibits. The horses, especially the heavy classes, made. a fine display, and the cattle were also a credit to the exhibitors. The speeding was called olf early in the day, as it was impossibh- 1‘111- horses to trot on the muddy track. Four teams, viz., Ellesmere. Don. Maple- Leafs of Scarboro, and Locust Hill Clippers competed in the football conâ€" test, which terminated in a victory for the Locust Hill Clippers. During the afternoon the Newmarkot Citizens Baud, under the direction of Band- master McDonald, rendered a good programme of excellent music in the Agricultural Hall. \Ve might special- ly mention the operatic selections from “Martha” and “Bohemian Girl”: the aria. “Death of Nelson,” solo by Mr. Scott; and Mozart’s Gloria and Twelfth Mass, all of which were Well performed. The merry-g1n-mund was one of the attractions of the afternoon and considering the wet day was \vell patronized. An account of the. conâ€" cert in the evening will be found on another page. The prize list, about $400, will be paid in full, though the receipts were. not nearly up to the ex- penditure. The following is the p11ze list : HORSESâ€"IMPORTED D RAUGIIT.
