The annual Fair of the Quyon Agricultural Society, held on the 3rd instant, showed appreciable progress over last year’s effort, both in point of exhibits and attendance, according to estimates given to THE EQUITY by parties who were present from this neighborhood. In addition to the Society’s exhibits, a very good show was put on by the school children, and boys’ and girls’ club. Those who were out for a day ’s fun were supplied with entertainment by way of horse races and other amusements, and with excellent weather, a very pleasant day was spent.
