Every Departuttent Well Filled add a Geed Atteittlit ilce, Thu fall chibition horn hest Tuesday, Weduesday and Thursday was something our citizens have every reason to be proud of. Though the weather during the three days was wet and unfavorable, the attend- ance was good, the receipts fur Wednesday evening aud .lily being over $650. There wore between 4,000 and 5,000 eutries. The 11:0 stills I'or animals wore all takeu up and 60 wore obliged to-romuiu out- side. The live stock display was good throughout, probably' greater in number and bettor in quality than have ever been brought togeth- er at any former • exhibition in the county. Tho 'fruit display was not excelled in city or oounty this 'your. In plants, flowers, ladies' work, lino arts and mantrfacturos the display was dazzliug, and as one moved around inside the spacious building the pleasing variety presented a panorama of ever chauging views. Tho formal oga•ning was postponed from 'Tuesday until Wednesday eve- ning, when President Allan, Hen, A. M. Rose, Meyer Seager and Rubt. Porter, M. 1'. fur West Huron, ad- dressed :those assembled. 11Ir. S. I'. Halls, with fifty trained voices, gave as the opening Omani, "The Farm- ers' Hoe." Yresideiit A11,m iu a neat address welcomed alt to the hist agricultural exhibition in their new building aril grounds. \layor Seager referred to the public Spirit and enterprise shown by the citizens of the old town. The large and commodious building and ,extensive grounds were the practical proofs. He was glad to be iu a position to congratulate the manage- ment and the citizens at lame upon the success of the Northwestern Ex- hibition. Croakers and fault finders who said that those who were man- aging the public affairs were a set of inoapables it was quite evident did not know what they' dvero talking about. President Allan then read an address fionr the Association, to the Hon. A. M. Ross. Tho Icon. A. M. Ross congratu- lated the town council, Ms fellow citizens ,and the \Vest Riding of Huron on the successful inaugura- tion of tho Northwestern Exhibition. The town of Goderich had certainly taken the lead in this matter over any place in the county, or indeed of any locality outside the cities. He concluded by formally declaring the Northwestern Exhibition now open. . —41-t'iober-t-Pe>rter,- M.P. for West Huron, said that the buildings and grounds reflected great credit upon the publics pirited citizens who had suggested the -procuring of thou, and for the oliergy displayed incarry- Out their designs to a successful issue. Ile referred to the import- ance of the agriculturail interest, but would also remind his hearers of the intimate relations which existed between farmers and other industrial `workers. IIe rernind '1 them that no purely agriculture! country of any importance had e ' r existed. Tradesmen, ivanufactu,• and far- mers were all necessary in the com- plex but progressive et ,litions of society, cldhe is nota • • 11 -wisher of his country who it: 'rid view public questions as it at'• e;ted only • ono branch of society. '1'.r separate the interests of the farmers from those of other laborers was unwise and an endeavor to separate. what nature and reason had joined to- gether. Ile concluded a philoso- phically practical address by saying that the truths which he -had ende- vored to impress upon them was : that all industrial classes of society while aiding each other, vete mu- tually dependent upon each other, and in every public measure the interest of every worker, whether by muscle or brain, should receive fair recognition. The business men of the town had displays of their wares. Thee was clothing by Mi. A. P. McLean and Mr. A. Smith, dry goods by R. 13. Smith & Co., Colborne Bros. and John Acheson. Bennett, of Clinton, exhibited a parlor set ; R. Radcliffe, C.P.R. agent,. grain from tho North- west; the hardware, carriage, boots ;and shoes, harness and other busi- nesses of the town were represented. Tho grounda are. sixteen acres in extent and situate to tho south of the main portion of the town. There is an excellent half -mile speeding - track. The main building is 70x70 with two side additions 50x30, and though some carpers found' ,fault with contractor Mr. Geo. Neibo'gall at first, wo believe that all are now agreed that he carried out his con- tract in a workmanlike and consci- entious manner. Mr. R. Miller of St. Melons was in town on Friday.

M.', by the ' South Huron County Orange Ludgo, in recogni- tion of past services - Oct. 7th, 1887." Bro. Scarlett in a very fooling planner and in appropriate language thanked the donors for their pre- sent, and, what was at l alit, precious se hila, their brotherly eudo•sattidl of his conduct while their cliie;f County Officer and at other times. Their words were cheering iudeed, more precious than gold or silver, and they would nerve hien to future honest endeavor in ell that per tained their noble Oder, He, pro- bably, had no more claire to special recognition than many present, tend accepted their address and present with a full knowledge of his short- comings. \Vhatever'ho lead dune was only his duty, and no 111a11 de- serves especial praise for doing that. He was highly lleased to meet hie brethren and friends and thanked then all for the honor done hien, Tho Chairman, Worthy County Master E. Floody, then proceeded rho unfolding of the programme of the evening.. Tho first number ho offered for the approval of tllo,coul- pany was " The Queen and Royal Family" which was toasted with right loyal good will 'Then carne "'Tiro (.over- nor Gant rel' which was also treated in a heartily patriotic manner. "Our Guest" was the next num- ber and it was received with en- thusiastic tokens of approval and re- plied to by Bro. Scarlett in a few pithy remarks: The Agricultural Interests" were replied to by Bro. Jas. Laithw•aitc who, in a very happy way referred to his "potato patch" as Use source of his income (potatoes 80 cents a bushel), and by Bro. David Beacom who admitted that he had gained his living by farming which he con- sidered about as honorable an occur pation as any. Though not now a sitting member Oa lodge his heart was as warm to the Cause and the brethren as when he was in active membership. Were it not so lie would not be present that night. "The Commercial Interests " were replied to by Bro. David telon re- ferring to the apple tradCane the only branch of commerce he wasat pre- emie engaged in, and by Bro. H. S. Cooper facetiously remarking that 11e ' a'a was iu pito apple trade -dried itpptt''s,awi he would go Bro. Cautelou • 0a.; Letter by adtlin; dried col fish to tit d articles of commerce iu which he wag interested. '' The Manufacturing Interests" wort. assigned to Bros. W.S. Se -afield, I C.(Ji' woody and S. A. Cautelon. Bto. Swafield, thought the iotiustritil trade g euerally was in a Satisfactory State. .Ilia owu immediate business,, that of sash and door and ;;Durr.,! plauiug mill business, had been very ' good owing to tho progress of Clinton ' uud surrouuding; . country, Thou.di 1 he had not ,studied the matter 1 thoroughly he did not see how, tLle 1 recently talked of commercial moon Was going to help the luauufacturiu;; interests. Bro. S. A. Cantolon would be more at house in selecting good material and in trausforrning it into buggies and wagons than in selecting- words for 11 speech. He was much pleased at tho kind tuauner in which his name had been receive,.. Bro. Chas. Tweedy though stir.

Tho tlonland for the fit m's instruments had Leon good and at the present tittle was iu exeuss of the supply and luauy of the hands were workiug ' over time. As the bretlireu who had spoken before ltium on this ,ub'ect had also spoken cheerfully of 11,1 Mauufacturiug In- terests of the town, ho thought they might accept this a fair index of the state of that trade throughout Lilo Dominion. And he thought as they were accomplishing such grand re. Malts through independent British endeavor he could not sou much use for commercial union. Ho was tench ploased to see so many brethren and tnit:tels pieseut. "The Orange Order " was asso- ciated with the names of Bros. W. Crooks, A, Million, A. M. Todd awl John Barkley. Bro. Crooks proved himself a living epitome of the history of Oraugeisw. Held ie his hand a warrant for a lodge at Churchill, Fermanagh Cone. ty, Ireland, granted to his father, 511 years ago. i3'e, the speaker, was an Oraugouiau of 85 years standing and believed he was more interested iu its noble priuciples and their success now than he had ever been. The Order wits a Christian one -sobriety, charity to all meu and hatred to none being part of their creed. And their doctrines toned followers in all parts of the world. 'There were 45,C0) Orangemen in Ontario and 200,000 in the Dominion. Tho Orange Society was one to which every Pro- testant .could belong with benefit to -himself-and the state. He ens glad` to see so Many, present to do honor to the guest of the evening', and to wit- uess the presentation. It was a jubilee year prescntation'irnd would no doubt be more highly valued on acconnt of it being received in the year in which our gracious Queen, who had always recognized the merits of the Order, was being hon- ored by the, whole civilized world. Bro. A. Million, of Colborne, was glad to be present to do honor to Bro. Scarlett. Ile was a compare- tively young member but would im- prove .upon that becauso he hoped end expected to be ono as long as he lived. Bro. A. M. Todd was glad to find so mauy present. It would do .those who were nut Orangemen good. 'lley would learn that Christaiui ty, loyalty and sobriety wee:' among the etuel111- al peinclpltis of the Order. That Orangemen wore hound to respect the religious convictions of, those who differed groan them. That while disapproving of the doctrines of Itouau Ca ti ulidhut tet, inimical to the well lig :f the individual as 'well as the state, no true Orange- man,would' persecute a Iloinau Cathlic or iu any way iujurc him, but on the contrary lie was bound to. treat his erring brother with all kindness and extend a helping Laud to him if in distress. Every true Protestant was au Orangeman in principle and for that part every true Protestant woman \vas an Orange wonan. There had already been established lodges of Orange woven iu the 01(1 Country and their intros duction into Canada had been brought up at.tlte session of last Grand Lodge and they would no doubt bo author. ised in Canada, so that ere long wo might find a Ladies' Orange Society in Clinton, and there was plenty of material.' The Orange Society was open to receive all loyal Protestants and there were many proseut whose sympathies were with them but who could carry out their principles better by becoming members of the Order. It was sometimes alleged that there were bad Orangemen. It was quite possible that some men belonged to the Order who were not what they, should be, Bain all organizations, church as well social, there were black sheep, and in proportion to number of members it would be found that the Orange Society would coin - pare favorably with any other. Ho then referred to an insurance scheme in connection with the Order. It was the cheapostand safest life insurance extant and all the brethren should take advantage of it. Mr. John Barkley also replied to the " Orange Order " in a very feli- eiton-i tpauuer. Bro. Todd had. refer- red to runes. Milieu, Stevenson and Currie as having come some distance in uufavoruble weather to be present. 11.•, too, had ro•110 quite a distance •tu•l was glad he had. Ho had ens jnyed himself very much and was pleased to Lear encouraging reports el the Order from all quarters. He tete been identified with it for years earl his heart was still with it. He I•c•litived their Order had done much ,ewo,l and that there was a large field • tor it to de good work in. " Our Municipal Institutions " were assigned to Councillor D. B. Kennedy_ and Bro. John Beacom. Mr. Iiennetly, though, always iu sympathy with Orangeism was not one. IIe telt even more disposed toward thrum to -night than ever. He thanked theta for coupling his name with such an honorable toast, but would not detain them any longer. Lieut. Beacom would not excuse himself by saying he could not speak. He had been taught to speak when lie was two years old and had been at it ever since. IIe had some experience itt . municipal matters. If a Luau wanted to find him- self a target for every one to fire at, run for councillor or reeve. But that was not the fault of alio system. Senn: ono 0110 had referred to euunnorcial onion, ho Mr. B. was for union, lint a different kind of union to that. Bro. Beacom con.. tinued at some length making many happy allusions which created roars of laughter. "The Learued Professious" coupled with. that ►tam5S of Barrister Powell and H. S. McLean, teacher in the Clinton Collegiate Instituto, was re- plied to by these gentleman, both of whom expressed themselves as in harmony with the aims and objects of Orangcisw as stated that e.vcui141- Mr. McLean admitting that all know. lodge was not confined to accredited institutions of learning for he had ae, quired information that evening which gave him a higher and better opinion of Orangeisln dean he had hitherto held.

The members of the band above mentioned were a great acquisition to the programme of the evening and well deserved. the hearty applause that greeted their efforts. A comic song by Mr. Harry Fisher strained the vest buttonsof the telttli:loving. The whole affair reflected much credit on the getters up of it, and if such reunions tools Jtlac 1 cucr, 'though not •necessarily for - pror n'ta- tion purposes, much good might result.
