TORONTO’S GREAT FAIR

An Immense Exhibit and Large Number of Special Features

[Welland Telegraph, 4 September 1891]

The wheel of time has again revived and in a few days Toronto’s Great Industrial Fair for 1891 will be open to the public, and people will be again flocking to it from all parts of Canada and the adjoining States. The harvest has this year been good, and the attendance of visitors to the great Fair may therefore be expected to be very large. The entries in all departments are sufficient to completely fill every building on the grounds as well as the new ones that have been erected during the summer. The Dominion and experimental farms re each sending very important exhibits, showing the various departments in which the farming community are especially interested. British Columbia and Manitoba re also sending much larger exhibits than heretofore. The livestock exhibits will be very fine. The list of attractions as announced in the official programme issued by the Association is a very long one and cannot fail to please the visitors as there will be something of interest to see every minute of the day of the Fair. This Fair will be opened by Major General Herbert on the 8th of September, and closes on the 19th. The usual low rates and special excursions will be given on all the railways.
