After an eight month gap since the spring show Forbes P.A. and H. Association hosted its first autumn exhibition. Attendance rose with stronger sideshows and improved cattle poultry exhibits. Gate receipts on day one reached record levels with a solid second day, while new luncheon facilities and improved catering drew praise from the public and wife of the association president helped at the event.
Readable text fragments suggest a discussion of apples and rivalries but key names, dates, and places are missing. The piece appears damaged with stray letters and does not convey a clear event or outcome.
