Carriages and Wagons. There was a very fine 

 exhibit in this department, including both light and heavy 

 delivery wagons, also private carriages. 



The grounds had a very neat appearance ; there was 

 nothing that was immoral or illegal seen on the grounds. 

 There was nothing to criticise, but the departments 

 which your Inspector thought might be improved upon 

 would be the horse and sheep departments, where the 

 entries were not large. 



The fruit, flowers, vegetables and fancy articles were 

 exhibited in the town hall, which is located only a short 

 distance from the. grounds. Both are opened to visitors 

 evenings, which adds very much to the revenue derived 

 from the admission fees. 



Respectfully submitted, 



(Signed) Walter D. Ross, Inspector.
