The 88th Annual Fall Exhibition of
East Huron Agricultural Society wag
held on the fine Park belonging to Grey
Branch Society on Thursday and Friday
of last week and eclipsed any of its pre -
decimators by long odds. Better weather
could not have been scoured and the
immense orowd of folk attending Dame

company of people ever seen on the .Park
assembled on Friday. Entries poured in

up to the standard and Sam judges had a
big contract in making the Awards as the
prize list is long and very 'few classes
were without entries. Exhibitors are

County. As in other years the Ladies'
Work occupied a prominent place ae did
the Dairy exhibit. A most exoellenb

the classes were well represented and the
competition keen. While the Directors
provide attraction to please the visitors
they also look carefully after the prize
list ao that the Fair will maintain its

The only department that was off color
was that of manufactures and that may
be remedied another year.

Peace, Friendship and Fraternity."
The returning officers for Huron at the
coming election will be J. A. Morton, of

ton of Kingebridge, for the Weat ; and B.
O'Donnell, of Dublin, for the South.
At the Liberal Nominating Convention
for Booth Huron, held in Brnefield on
Thursday of this week, there were three -
candidates before the meeting, Joe, Mo.
Millen, who has represented the consti-
tuency for enteral terms ; Geo. Man wen,-
Co. Councillor, of Hensel', and J. Fraser.
The first mentioned gentleman took the
largest vote and received the nomination,
but it is said Mr. MoEwan may run too
as an Independent Liberai. South Huron
is a "Grit hive" but with two Liberal
candidates in the field the Opposition
might take the seat.
*
An arrangement was made on Thurs.
day of this week by which joint political
meetinge will be held in the East Riding
of Huron, both candidates agreeing to it.
The list of union meetings may be read
in another column but eaoh candidate -
reservee the right to hold other meetinge
to be addressed by either onteide or Iooal
speakers. One evening the reply will be
in Dr. MaoDonald'e hands and the next
in Mr. Dickinson's, Local speakers may
also take a hand when time permits. We
heartily endorse this course as the
electors want to hear both sides of the
public questions on the same evening and
a one sided meeting amounts to very
little. Some of the notables on both
sides of polities may visit the Riding be-
fore polling day end speak at central.
