HOLME FAIR
____

This old established fair was held on the Fair Hill, near Abbey Town,  on
Monday last. The quantity of stock brought forward was not so large as in  former
years.

Southorns were represented by a few lots of two and a half year old and of  
stirks. Very few grazing heifers were shown and there was a slow demand for  
them. Calving cows were very dear - they averaged from£18 to £25.

There was a very large show of unbroken horses - principally strong ones -  
which met with a ready sale at high prices. The attendance of the buyers seemed
 scarcely so large as in former years.
