Exhibition Attracts
Record Crowd Of Visitors

Outstanding stock exhibits featured
Matsqui’s 16th annual exhibition, held
at Gifford last week; the largest display
of animals in the history of the Asso-
ciation. Hall products were fuliy
equal to those of former years in both
quality and quantity, vegetables anl
fruits being especially creditable.
Indicating the substantial growth in
interest in the event was the increased
number of entries above last year—(a
marked: success over previous fairs)—
estimated at 38 per cent, nicely balanc-
ing the prize monies, which have been
increased in the same proportion. The
attendance on Friday amounted to
about 2,500, including exhibitors, offi-
cials and the public, which, considered
in conjunction with the splendid dis-
play of Matsqui products, was sufficient
proof of the value of small district
fairs—evidence which lost none of its
value with the government officials vo
whom it was presented.

Hon, E. D. Barrow Officially opened
the fair, and complimented the exhibi-
tion association upon their success,
Other speakers were H. J. Barber, M.P.,
Reeve McCallum and Dr. J. F. Wood.
Industrial booths were displayed by
Western Fox & Fur., Co., R. A. Cooper,
DesBrisay’s of Mission, Windebank of
Mission (domestic water system), Un-
iversity of B.C., and two refreshment
stands and a chance concession did 4
roaring business.

While stock judging was proceeding
a children sports program was run off,
and the clearing weather made con-
ditions pleasant on the grounds. Re-
freshments were served by Mrs. Kem-
prud and assistants during the after-
noon, and also at the dance at night,
which was attended by a crowd of
about 400, music by Dr. Wood’s orches-
tra. A complete list of the prize win-
ners follows, which does not allow space
in this issue for a featured discription
of an event creditable in many ways to
its promoters. ~

The judges were S. J. Holland, W.
Alton, A. Blair, T. C. Oldershaw, Mrs.
E. Kipp, and Jno. Tait.
