the principal exhibitors throug-h Mr. Big-elow. 

 There are in all 14 exhibits in the names of 

 different individuals entered for awards, and 

 if quality counts, as no doubt it does, I am 

 sure Nova Scotia will obtain her share of 

 awards. The far Eastern Province is to be 

 congratulated upon having- such a public 

 spirited citizen as Mr. Big-elow, who has 

 got together such a areditable display. 



I fear, Mr. Editor, that I am again tres- 

 passing on your space at too great a length, 

 but I felt as though your readers would be 

 pleased to learn something about what our 

 Nova Scotia friends were doing here.
