Rain Spoiled Brussels Fair.
Large exhibit of Horses, Cattle, Sheep and Hogs despite the
wet. -Heavy loss to the Society.—Inside department

preparations for the Fair.—Two fine Concerts,
East Huron Fall Pair last Friday
ran foul Of Jupiter Pluvius and got
the worst of it. The morning did not
look any too promising but the Dir-
ectors hoped as it started to rain be-
fore 7 it would quit bofote 11. This
was not the case for as the ]tours went
by instead of quitting all the taps
were turned on so that by one o'clock
farewell worsts were spoken to the
exppected gate receipts.
As is usually the case many of the
exhibitors of stock either got here the
night before or by early start reach-
ed .Brussels beforethe downpour
hep ee many of the classes were won-
derfully well filled for so bad a day.
'Expert Judges were on hand but they
Owing to bad weather Friday a
number of the exhibitors left their
goods in the Palace until Saturday.
The business people of town re-
sponded to the canvas for , new mem-
bers by a contribution of upwards of
$100.00, They take a pride in the Fair.
'We were sorry the Fancy Drill had
to be called off on Friday. Misses
Downing, Ross and Pryne had their21
fair maidens well drilled and it would
certainly have pleased the spectators.
• How much should a dozen of eggs
weigh ? At the Fair Thos. Miller's
entry took Downing Bros. Special
showing 35 ounces. The peewees'
count as well but when it comes to
the scales they are not in it.
EAST HURON AGRICULTURAL BUILDING
were not at all anxious to face the
elements in doing their work. The
most of them were welt nigh wet to
the shin betore they finished their
work. The Directors, who accom-
panied them, fared no better and to
keep the Judge's books and prize rib-
bons in a dry place puzzled the most
of them. There was nothing dry
about Brussels Fall Fair this year.

r t lothones on ex-
hibition
was a of fine s
hibition in the various classes and the
names of the prize winners will only
have to be read to prove e vthis. What
t
was true of horses was equally a fact
as it related to cattle, sheep and hogs.
Of course the bad day reduced the
number of competitors, especially in
the grade cattle bub the surprise was
that so many showed rip under the
circumstances.
Of course the program of attractions
had to be called off. The 71 mile track
was out of business and the speeding
was not in it. The Fancy Drill was
ready to go on but Old Probs. would
not let lip on the rain. About 2.80 the
Japanese acrobats were brought to
the "Palace" and gave a short exhibi-
tion for the benefit of the few hundred
who had assembled. The platform
erected outdoors for them could not
be used.
A number of entries had been made
for cattle judging by boys but no one
was on hand when the Judge called
for the event, for which said Judge
was very thankful under the circum-
stances.
It was not a day of financial coin -
fort to the 11/411 Fair Directors. In
1908 over $700 were the proceeds of the
Fair, outside of memberships and do-
nations. 1909 bumped up against
another bad weather spell but panned
out with over $400 and last year
receipts were over $800 but in 1911 it
was not a surprise if the Board felt a
chill. However these things cannot
be helped so away we head now for
1912 with the prospect of the biggest
and best Fair in the Society's experi-
ence which 1911 would have undoubt-
edly proved under ..more favorable
conditions.
The Prize List, notes, &o., may be
read on page 5 of this issue.

"There are tricks in all trades" is an
old proverb and the Fall.' Pairs meet
therm tut 50100 of the exhibibois,
"Bob" Sloan, of Blyth, could run the
Fruit Department of a Fall Fair him-
self without any other exhibitor.
There was a prime lot of "cookery"
on exhibit and people who were not
appointed would have been willing to
judge it.
Vice President Robb said he would
not have felt as bad if it had rained
cats and dogs on Saturday. but no sir,
Old Sol smiled as if the heavens had
not been weeping copiously on Friday.
There is room for a wider interest
in the Fair by the business men of
Brussels. It is a good opportunity for
displaying goods taken advantage of
by snores iu other towns at their
Fairs.
D. Ewan's big exhibit of buggies
and cutters t wasmissed this year.
The latter were snugly housed in his
show room on account of the rain,
The stock of buggies was about clear-
ed out.
Displays of goods were made by A.
Strachan, W. P. Fraser, Wilton &
Gillespie, Gerry 8t Walker, G. F. limit -
land and Saml. Carter that would
have done thein good if the rain had
kept off.

ant Secretary and John Ferguson,
who had been drafted in to assist
Thos, Miller and F. S. Scott as ticket
sellers, got a "break in" by handing
out the pasteboards.
Miss Annie Ross and Mrs. A. R.
Currie, lady Directors and Mise Josie

ing where the Ladies' wont and the

the Fruit, a big job and R. Nichol was
in charge of the Root and Vegetable
department.
Art. Hawkshaw handled the sale of
tickets at the Town Hall Thursday
and Friday evenings and did it with
neatness and dispatch. The plan of
reserved seats as arranged by Drug-
gist Fox for the two nights worked
out admirably, notwithstanding the
possibilities of mix-ups with a two
nights' performance.
Following is a list of the girls who
took part in the Fancy Flag drill at last
Thursday evening's Concert and were
to perform Friday 'afternoon at the
Fair grounds if so large an amount of
moisture had not been precipitated :—

THE CONCERTS
Putting on two concerts on the
evenings of the Fair was an experi-

ily and may be tried again. The Dir-

encores and she will be welcome back:
as queen of the violin, Miss Davis
has a sweet voice of excellent purity
and did her part with artistic touch.
The audience soon got acquainted -
with .Harvey Lloyd and gave raptur-
ously recalls. He shines in his patrio-
tic numbers and made good for future
