(Continued From P e One)

decided to continue our Old Home Week and Provincial Live Stock Exhibition in combination, under the same arrangements u mad with the Provincial Government the previous year. The Govern- ment gave us grants for Old Home Week and Provincial Exhibition and the combination of these two proved very attractive and result- ed in the largest attendances both afternoons and evenln s that we have record of. From ova SCOHI and New Brunswick. Usher 6m- ada lnd the United States thous- ands of persons came and enjoyed themselves so well that we believe a great many of them will be back with us again.

The Old Home week Program at entertainment was a splendid one comprising some of the best vaude- ville acts obtainable with Harness Races and other features. The evening shows were high class in every respect and we believe that that part of our activities can be considered very successful.

The W. . Lynch Company variety shows and Midway drew large concourses of people. among them thousands of children who enjoyed the rides and mechanical devices to the fullest.

Live Stock E ‘ lbltlon

The Live Stock Exhibition was an outstandinZ 0m in Tefiliefil l0 quality of exhibits. It followed the same procedure as the previ~ ous year. The Provincial Govern- ment voted us a grant of 84000-00 for the purpose of giving live stock exhibitors an fllllmlTunll-Y t0 60m‘ pete. Your Exhibition Association supplied the grounds, stables and other facilities and put them tn first class shape. We also gave the usual oversight and work of management. free and there was no admission fees charged. The cooperation of the Provincial De-

artment of Agriculture was free- y and fully given. the different Breed Associations supplied the Judges and assisted with the clert~ cal work. The prize list was ar- ranged so that it would not ex- ceed the amount of the Govern- ment grant and that it would also be acceptable to the exhibitors. It embraced classes for light and heavy horses, hogs, sheep and poultry, four breeds of dairy cat- tle and classes for beef cattle. The number of entries were larger than anticipated, totalling almost 1200 and nearly half of these were cat- tlc entries. The exhibit of Jerseys was a particularly fine_one and the quality vns very high. One hundred and twenty one Ayrshires were entered. while the Holstelns totalled one hundred and ten. The Guernsey exhibit was made up of fifty-three animals. Thc numbers quoted cannot convey to the read c1" the real importance of the cattle exhibit. but thc fact that dozens ot visitors came here and bought: thousands of dollars worth of registered cattle showed con- cluslvcly the value of this fair. _
