On Friday, June 22nd, the Shows will be open all day, finally closing at 10 p.m. Some idea of the extent of the Show may be guaged from the fact that in addition to tho huge display of working dairy machinery, 600 feet of frontage will be taken up with fruit, and farm root exhibits, 200 feet of frontage with dairy factory butter and cheese, and about 1000 feet frontage occupied with pafcry. Altogether the exhibition will be aIUFy fine one educationally, inasmuch as it is quite apart and on different lines to all other shows. The Association looks forward to a great increase in the public attendance.
