Thursday afternoon and evening
stuart showers of ram fell and the
directorate felt a trifle blue over the
financial prospects of the Fails es-
pecially in view of the large list of
awards to be paid, but Friday morn-
ing the weather improved and al-
though it was a trifle cool, the day
turned out fleet rate. Thousands of
people came to town and the attend-
ance was well up toward the figures of
last yeast, The outdoor exhibits were
excellent. Some say a, better show of
horses was made in Brussels than at
London. Owing to 11, doyley selling
out and Donald. Robertson dropping
out of thorough breels the display of
thorn' bred cattle was lamely in the
hands of D. Milne who nearly swept
the list. The hog breeders were

Thursday's rain put the half mile
track in poor shape and severatehoese-
men declined to put their equines on

outside of the competitions for bug-

A. Currie, Brussels 1 1
3'. Johnston, 13Inevale . 2 2
T. Heitron, 13lyth, 3 3

Currie was too speedy for the others
but it was a well contested race for
2nel and 8rd money. In the Stencilled
Bank special for farrnere; buggy
horses, Joe Miller had an easy victory
for lst money, second •going.. to Nes-
bitt Hamilton, of Atwood. Thee
were nine entries auci some exte:,
good animals.
The Judges completed their work
about 4.80 and by 6 p. nr. the bulk of
the crowd was away and the very
successful Fair a thin of the past.
In thole? bred eattlejudging by boys
under 16 years there were 7 entries.
The work was done under the
direction of the cattle judges and was
very creditable to the lads, Many

Only want of room forbade a larger
audience at the annual Concert on
Friday evening in bhe Town Hall,
every reserved seat being taken, the
bleachers packed, scores standing and
others turned away. President -Leck-
ie was the chairman. The program
compared very favorably with ottani
years and was as follows :-Bagpipe
selection by Piper MacDonald; solo,
"Buy My Roses," Ms. Flora McIvor
Craig, of Toronto •, violin concerto,
Miss Maud Buschlen, of Asti=
comic song ."How Dare You?" J.
Doughty, Toronto; Highland Fling,
Miss Flora MacDonald, of Wingham ;
solo, "Success to Bonnie Scotland,"
Mrs. Craig ; violin, Scottish feu-
tasia, Miss Brischlen ; comic soug
"School Boy Days." In the second
part Flora MacDonald danced the
Sailor's Hornpipe ; solo, 'Bobolink,"
Mrs. Graig ; violin selections, Miss
13uschlen ; comic song, "Nobody's
Darling," Mr. Doughty; solo, Mrs.
Craig ; sword dame, Flora Mae -
Donald ; violin, "Flowers of the For-
est," unaccompanied, Miss Buschlen ;
comic song "The Toy Peddler," Mr,
Doughty; National Anthem. Mrs.
Craig made her first appearance be-
fore a Brussels audience and won first
place. She has a good voice, with a
comely face and sings with expression
and clear enunciation. Encores were
cheerfully responded to. Miss Busch -
len had been here before but she
handles the violin with such grace
end ability she is always welcome and
the audience is always ready to de-
mand recalls. Mr. Doughty was
royally received and its his various
numbers sustained himself splendidly.
His songs were all new and free from
anything rude; his costumes gor-
geous and singing well done. The
Scotch lassie, Flora MacDonald made
her bow the first time here but she
did her part so web elle will always be
heartily received. Miss Jean Mc-
Lauchlm made a very competent ac-
compartist and Piper MacDonald
blows the pipes 111 Mue Scottish style.
If any faull, could be found with the
program it was its length as with the
many encores several hours slipped
away, The noisy chattering of some
of the more youthful members of the
audience was a poor testimonial of
what they know about good be-
haviour at a public gathering.
