By elementry manipulation of series together with summations of Gauss and $Saalsch\ddot{u}tz$, Exton deduced a new two term relation for the hypergeometric function $_3F_2(1)$. The aim of this paper is to derive Exton's result from Thomae's formula, together with two known integral formulas and the Euler's transformation for $_2F_1$.
