Souris Fair, 1840

(By E. S. D.)

"On Wednesday the 29th July, was held according to appoint- ment, the SOURIS FAIR when a. good many people attended, some merely to see the fun, and a few to make It." So a Charlottetown newspaper of one hundred years ago commenced its write-up c-f the first fair field 1n Kaugs County. Fairs have changed since that time, and the continuity has been broken over extended periods, but this first fair may rightly be con- sidered the grandfather of t-he pjrasenl clay Eastern Kings Ex- hibition which is an annual at- tractlon in Souris each autumn.

The exhibition Idea. got It: orl- gfnal Impetus at. a meeting held a1: Sourls West on the 19th Febr- uary 1840, when the Sourls Farm- ing Club wns formed for "the im- provement. of Husbandry and Agri- culture. und by experiments and discussions to 11nd out the kind of seed: best adapted to the sofl of this Island, and to arrfve at the best. mode o! cultivating same .. " The eighth clause 1n the rules and regulations of the Club's charter provided “that the Secre- ta i correspond with the secre- tares of other chips o! like na- ture requestng them to get local shows of stock held In thelr re- spective districts with a view to ascertain the really best stock, and that when these local shows shall have been established throughout the country the Central Soclet be requested to offer higher premlii s for such stock only as have ob- tained prizes at the country local shows." Thus was the Idea of an exhibition or faIr ivrittcn directly into the constltutlonpf the Sourls Farming Club.

I I I I

The executive for tho first year utere: Alex. Leslle, Esq, presl ent, Mr. Patrick Sully, VIce-Presl ent, and John MacGowan, Esq, secre- tary and treasurer, with other members. Messrs. Thomas Perkins, James Mullaly, Luke Dangle, Felix Finn and Ronald MacCormack. ThLx commfttiee went ahead wfth commendable zeal and made all arrangcmcnts for n fair that very rear.
