      Mr. J. B. Forsyth's Exhibit of Leather.
      At the northern entrance to the main pavilion)
      Mr. J. B. Forsyth made an effective display, re-,
      presentative of an important industry throughout
      this State, viz., the manufacturing of leather. In
      cluded in his exhibit were plain and fancy lea
      thers for the use of the saddler and harness-ma
      ger and bootmaker alike. The saddlers' varie
      ties embraced black and brown (for heavy har
      ness) skirt, stirrup, buggy harness (any shade),
      bridle, soft handpart, and all other Classes neces
      sary for that trade. The boot leathers consisted
      of wax, Russie, and Scotch grain kips, waxed
      yearling, medium and small calf, glassy Persian,
      straight Persian, grain and tan, glazed, satin, and
      glove hides.
      Mr. J. M. Don, mnnager for Mr. J. B. For
      syth, who has had a large practical and theo
      retical experience in England, America,
      France, and Germany, considers these leathers
      superior in character, strength, and durability
      to any foreign-manufactured leathers. Mr.
      Forsyth's works are situated at Willoughby,
      and he has used every endeavour to bring this
      special art to the highest possible pitch, and
      feels disappointed at the lack of competi
      tion in this line at the show. He, however,
      trusts that interstate manufacturers of
      leather in other parts, will come forward and
      compete against him at the Royal Agricultu
      ral show of 1906.

      (BY OUR OWN REPORTER.)
      The friends of Mr. J. B. Forsyth, late of
      St. Marys, but now of North Willoughby,
      will be sorry to hear that be met with a
      very nasty accident the other day. He was
      working at one of the machines, when
      somehow or other his hand caught and two
      fingers were taken clean off and a third was
      considerably damaged.

      Machinery Accident. .
      St. Marys, Thursday. ? A very nasty accident happened to a man named William Holmes, a steam leather roller, employed at Mr. J. B. Forsyth's tannery, in St, Marys, yesterday. He was rolling a very old side which required a lot of turning, when he got his thumb under the roller and had it taken clean off. He was conveyed to Penrith to Dr.Shand, who attended to his comforts.
      He is in the Penrith cottage hospital for a few days. Great sympathy is felt in St. Marys for Will Holmes, who is a very steady man and a universal favorite.

      (BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
      Tanneries. Adverse to the present general depression, the St. Marys tanners seem to be exceptionally busy. Mr, A. Thompson has the yard lately occupied by Mr. J. B. Forsyth in full swing. Lorries drawn by a team of three horses, and capable of carrying several ton weight, have taken the place of drays at the big tan yards, and continuous loads of splendid looking leather may be noticed, especially on Monday, travelling to the railway station ; the teams returning with loads of raw material pertaining to tanneries.
