Eight Thousand Visit». First Day’s Attractions. Quality And Quantity Of Exhibits Better

i Than Ever.

More than 8,000 attended the big rair at various times yesterday and

last eitening. The Midway aitrac- 0f them H18 m0" b8!!!’- iioi-r. which are new going full Following are the Judas 0f live ‘raving, the exhibits in the Exhibi- Block:

. lion Euilding which has been decor- -_ ated in .1 style surpassing all form- . er occasions, the livestock in the - quarters of which accommodation ls , at a premium, and the horse racing - with its accompanying acrobatic at- ; trartioas each drew large crowds. ivuh the completion of the fur- infshinpi of the booths and the ar- - ranzcmerit. of exhibits ‘many approv- ing remarks were heard on the ap- speararice of the main building. and ' the foundation laid in the ornate or- zlgina! decorations was fully justified.

Never before has there been such a large display of vegetables as is at present on exhibit in the building. TThe high standard of former years has bern equalled and surpassed, as all predicts show a. maturity sur- prising for the time of year. The judging of the vegetables has already ‘been begun.

The exhibit of fruit also far ex- feLs in quality and exceeds in qualit- ity that of past years. ‘The apples are more mature. and are of a bet-

: colour than usual for the time 11., year. Thai-c is a new class in the

Plait section for a mixed exhibit of fltiit not necessarily produced in this zqrcvince. There is also a class for grapes. Mr. Sangster who ls judging Jte fruit. has completed that work.

The exhibit in the an section is ossiblyi not as large as that of last war. but. the standard is fully up- ild. The fancy work, woollen goods,

rid mats are attracting more than "Iléir usual share of attention, as they trm a larger exhibit than on any "tar up to the present.

The cattle classes have the largest ot-ry 11s‘. on record. :nd there is an nusually large representation in the ioultry classes. Judging from the uallty of both the keenest compet- wlon is ensured.

Today the judging of the I-Iolsteins, urshires. Jerseys, and heavy horses akes place.

Yesterday morning the light hors- l were judged in the ring on the Bil‘ mounds by Dr. J. A. Sinclair, lonninzton. Ont. The classes on the mole were rather small, and the "HIM oi the exhibit could be im- "WP". Dr. Sinclair states. Improve- ncnt in fitting and in show manners vould be an asset toward more

There had been a lot of talk a. bout ﬁhLs race particularly since last Friday. when Con Frisco. 2.07 1-2 had ﬁteplied a mile over the Charlottetown _ track in 2-08 timed ‘by local horse- men, who do not make mistakes with the ticker. It was a marvellous per- formance and the oocioensus of op. inion vras that “there would be noth< irig to it." As a matter of fact Bllllo Brawn had teen running around try< mg to dig up a $50 gold piece to hand to “Monte" for breaking the tracld record of 2.11 1-4, but it was not to be. Perhaps it was tough racing luck, or call it what you will. anyhow Con Frisco was only third when the Judges gave their verdict. Let those who think that horse racing is a. cut and dried affair, a game which tho owners or drivers can tell you vfhar. will liaperi. consider the fate of Con Frisco. Due credit for his de- feat must be gdven to the well driven Johnny Miles, whose pilot. our our: Island Johnny Conroy, showed as- tuteness of the highest order. Then again he had a good trotter.
