Mr. Ings who is senior vice-president. said the opinion of men at the meeting was that the proposed increase in freight rates on sripment of exhib- ition cattle would mean a decrease in the number of exhibits at the Maritime Winter Fair. unless there was a substantial increase in the prizes offered. Mr. Ingg said the freight rate increase would mean it would cost $70 to ship a carload of exhibition cattle to the Winter Fair, in place of the $30 previously charged.
