He says: It may be taken for granted that this termoil will end, as all pre- vious Anglo-American imbroglios, at Canada s expense, for it is Canadian sea traffic that will suffer most from the discrimination.made'in favor of American goal trading. It will be settled'as the Maine and Ohio boundary dispute, the Atlantic fish- eries, the Alaskan boundary, the Clayton Bulware treaty all were set- thed, : (Fsom the first stay in London in 1901 and from personal conversation with various British statesmen and publicists, I have come to definite condlusion that the Imperial govern- ment, ith any party in power, will stand mything rather than risk on- flict with the United States.

The grounds, which were packed yester- scene. Thousands of gaily dressed women and men on pleasure bent witnessed the exciting and closely contested racing events, and that the efforts of those in charge were appre- ciated was amply demonstrated by the enthusiasm:-displayed by the specta- tors and the expressions of approval to be heard on every side, B Great interest is being centred in the various exhibits this year, for the * large prizes offered have had the effect of drawing competitors from every part of the west and from On- tario, and parts of the States. It is not going too far to say that the number of exhibitors doubles that of last year, and the stock shown are lof a much superior kind. The horses lat the fair are attracting widespread fattention, and it is safe to say that never in the history of the west has a filner bunch of horses been brought and all breeds are there from the fheavy draft stallions weighing over a ton to the miniature Sshetland pony. Probably the Clydesdales and Per- cherons- are attracting more attention than any other class, for these two breeds appeal more to the agricul- tural element than any others, and there are some excelent examples lof what sires and mares in these classes should look: like. The other classes are: Shires, heavy draft (unregistered) , Agricultural class (not (over 1400), Hackneys, Stand- Jard bred, thoroughbred, coach horses, carriage horses, roadsters, saddle horses, special harness horses (no registration restrictions) and delivery visitors at the Fair, JULY CONDITIONS: W.
