LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES,—CREDITABLE SHOWING IN ALL 'CLASS1iB.—LARGE ATTENDANCI OF WELL PLEASED PEOPLE,— GOOD BALANCE IN TH13 TRE'ASURER'S HANDS. weeeeeieseeeeee BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, =•,�.���..,.�,.:,:�,.,., Nov.....-�.. 1897 Rest Huron I'alI Show for 1807 is among the things that are past, bat its narked success an every particular will live in the memory of the Directors and exbibitors, at least until its successor he outdone it. The Weather on both days was all that could be wished for and Old ' Sol. smiled most benignly on us, Con. tray to onr recorder the prognostications of many, there was no a drop of rain, nor a sign of,it, It wee well on toward evening on Thursday before the Judges completed their arduous duties of judging, the many entries belonging to the inside depart. hent. While the various departments were well filled, there was a noticeable increeee in Fino Arts and Flowers and Pleats and, as the prize list will show, the awards were widely distributed. Tnlm0DAY EVINING there was a large attendance at the "Palace" and in addition to the town Band instrumental mnslc was rendered ou the various organs by Miss Annie ' Stowart and T. A. Hawkins and several aeon'', violin and organ, by Secretary Stewart and daughter. An hour or more was enjoyably ocoupied in viewing the various exhibits and aoucurring in or criticising the judgment of the various persons who made the awards. Tars smx10Tsn 01, AOnre0LT0aa1 arrived in town from Sarole on the after-' noon trait, and after touring the town was driven to the Fair ground and bad e look over the Park and inside deparbmenb of the "Palace," expressing himself as well pleased with everything. About 8.30 o'clock the was introduced to the large number of spectators assembled in the Agent:Meal Hall and called upon to give en address. Hou. Jobe Dryden had a most cordial reosption ou rising. He thanked the Di• rectors for the invitation and for the op. porennity of spending such au evening, and the pleasant privilege of meeting so many Two ies ewas alwaysgproud Of. is One wash that he was a farmer --wits inbereebed in and atsooiabed with agrioultnre—and the other was that he was connected with it in the Province of Ontario. He did not say this becauee he thought the soil and Climate ware ahead of any other aonnbly, nor did he boast of it because of Ontario's many other advantages, but simply be. cause the province was doing more to develop mgrienlbure than any other ter- ritory on the face of the globe. This was not dun merely to the existence of the Agtioulbural College, which directly reached only a limited number among those pursuing agriculture, but also to the College extension, the professors ab the College going out for several weeks eacli year, and carrying to the farmer's homes the knowledge imparted to the students at Guelph. By our Farmers' Institutes, our Live Stock Assoaiatione, and last, bub not least, our Agricultural Societies, we aro promoting the great agriaulteral in. dustry as mt,18 aided in no other laud. Some people have 1101a that exhibitions ,aro a sort of by-play. It is nob so. Here we find the best al education. We here see the ideal products of progressive men's industry and enterprise, and which younbo reach. and Here thd e fanner well ive seesthefin. iced product. Our delegates from the Agricultural College go every year to bis home and tell Min how he may reach the ideal, No man can make a success of any kind of business unless ho has the proper idea of what he dosires to produce, 'I atm," said Mr. Dryden, "looking into tbo faces of men who have made a success of ono of the great branches of agriculture, because they have devoted their talents to it—they had au ideal before them. We in Ontario are not speeding as much enemy as other states are doing for simile ar work, but we claim we are securing much better results. Go into the best market of the world and you will find that in not many products of the soil do we take emend place, while in some we take first place undoubtedly. But if we are to mantilla our petition, to improve it, it mush be, as the Minister of Education bas well saki, by producing the very best. We must not stand still and allow other Nations to pass us hs the race. As Mug as I am Minister of Agriculture I am de- termined that we shall not slacken in the effort to prepare our fanners to keep to the front in producing and marketing to the beet advantage, I know that in this regard I have the heartiest support: of a very largo numbs of the people of On- Latio. We know that on the prosperity of bhe farmer depends the proeporiby of the eibizen, and that if the farmer is prosper- ous all are prosperous. This yea we have -a bettor outlook for the farmer than for a good (nary 50115008 past, Why is it ? We have better orep5, and a dotter demand, and that moans better prices and prosperity. The time has dome for us farinas to commando .our energies— to try t0 produce the very best, bei not to dissipate our energies by attempting too molt at one time. At one time men tried to make money by attempting to prbduco everything. Now, we tied the Men who succeed best are those who specialize. One ghee into frust raising, another into Stook raising, another dairy. lug, making these their special line. In all these our Colloges, onr Farmers' en• stitutes and other educational agencies, conneetieg the Agriaulbural College with every home in the Province, live expert edneabion and aid air Song praobioally to begin where wo leave off, without 111 o neeessiby of meth hard experieuoo," In oonalesiou, Mr, Dryden assured bis bearers that agrionlbure in Ontario is progressing. Other indnsttles are ate - grassing, too, but Our farmers are filled with enthueiasnt, We do not need copy. ists, bat men who can think out the best lines on welch to increase to results of their labor of mind and nlusolo. He was proud to be connected with the egrionl- Euro of Ontario, mud he looked forward to continued progress and prosperity for this magnificent Province, It nevcrrain- ed at the Fairs wbere Dryden's name was put on thebills and now, in the name of the Etta Berea Directors, he declared the Fair open. Three cheers were heartily given the Ululate, on hie resuming his seat. Tna 0051 TO TOWN =P=OAN JIMMY 1:11m10 morning and eon etables, sheds, streets and vacant lots were well filled with horses and riga. At the fair gronud the scene 17110 a lively one as live stook, im- plemauts, buggies, &m., were being planed in their respective posibious ; refresh- ment 1ooths loaded up for the day ; own- ers of fast horses giving them a warming up on the track, and the Directorate giv- ing the finishing touches to everything before the incoming of the thousands after dinner. And they did come—old and young ; men and women ; boys, girls and dogs ; the young man and his best girl were there ; the glad papa and mam- ma with their first baby ; Irish, English, Scotch, German, Oanucku, and so on, so that the ticket agents were pushed at a lively rate in passing out the admission tickets, and over 4,000 people were as- sembled on the Agricultural Park before 2.30 o'clock, The Judges got to work promptly at 1 o'clock and were very busily occupied for several hours in getting the red, blue and white tickets to their proper planes. To give some small idea of their labors we append the number of entries made, also give the record for 1800 by way of come parison :- 1897., Horses 123 Cattle S8 Sheep 44 Page 42 Poultry 85 Implements 41 Grain 56 Fruit 209 Roots and Hoed Crops 143 Vegetables , 108 Dairy 29 Domestic Manufactures 118 Ladies' Work 188 Fine Arts 77 Flowers and Plants 82 Totals 1428 arncrw ATTIIAOTI0ns, 1898. 110 64 50 41 67 25 46 288 128 120 47 188 265 41 43 1.418 A good program of attractions was pre- pared and while the foot races were not run off owieg to the time consumed in judging the fight horses„followed by to speediug contests, this was all that was omitted. The dust did not add to the pleasure of the spectators, yet they swal- lowed their "peck” and were quite good humored over it. In the lady driving there were three coutestenbs on hand when the event was called, although several others wore ou the ground, but were too late to take part. The hoses were unhitched from the baggies and unharnessed, and the Iadies were asked, after the word "go" was pro- nonneercl to ltai'nese their respective ani- mals, hitch up and drive around the half mile track. It was a moment ofanspens° to the large crowds looking m1, and a hearty cheer went up when Mrs. S. Love, of Morris, stepped into her buggy and made off. She was soon followed by Mrs. Amos Smith, of Trowbridge, and owing to the restive ohmmeter of her horse Miss Young, of Billet, was considerably bebind its starting, On the back scratch a tug name unfastened ou Mrs. Smith's outfit and she had to stop to hook it. 7'liis gave lbtiss Young a fighting chane, and down the home stretch came the two steeds like the wiud, amidst the hurrahs of thous- ands. It was a close finish but Miss Yonug had it. Mrs. Love took first place quite handily. The Judges awarded the prizes as follrws :-1st, Mrs. Love ; 2nd, Miss Young ; 3rd, Mrs, Smith. The Farinas' trot took four heats to decide the supremacy, the best time being 1,27.

The town flag floated from the "Palace" flag stall. 15 competitors entered the lista for the tahlo butter. Bast Huron can't bo outdone for good butter makers. C.

SUCCESSFUL FALL DISPLAYS. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week were set asicc'1le by the milliners of Bruasels for the Fall display of the latest styles in ladies' hoadweer. That being the vasa there was unusual aulfvity on P'uruborry street, as 0h0 ladies, bent on pleasure, (for the impaction of millinery is always a pleasure to them) want about drinking in, with relish, the beautiful creations of the art, with the gaudy plumage, ribbons and flowers that were attractively displayed. Show day has become a looked -for occasion in Brussels and the Fall of '07 brings more beauties time ever before to the front. ams. 5(0011118 takes no bask seat wean it comes to au exhibit of ladiee' headwear, and con:,e- gcceetly everything was in apple pie order for the Fall 'misplay. Mina Dunbar was complimented on the fashionable hats and bonnets presented for inspection. One was a very neat Gainsborough with sequin trimming, bird of Paradise, a dash of white and mauve chiffon, Ina11Ve roses and ties of moire antique ribbon. An. other hat greatly admired is the "Valen- tine," a royal blue trimmed with foliage and a dash 01 white chiffon and a gray bird ; high tilt on right side filled in with foliage and whits obiffon. The Viotorin poke boned malls basic other clays when somewhat similar shapes were Its their glory. This one had cook's plumes, foli- age and moire antique ribbon, finished off with steel ornmments. Turbans, chief of which is the Dresden in all shades, and soft Drowned hats appear to fill a large plea in millinery for 1897. The trim. ming is largely to the front and under the brim. Tugela and Royal blues, purple and gray are leading colors and accordeon fluted ribbooe and silks, with birds, wings, and flowers of rare beauty are predominating features. A wedding hat was away before Tun POST called, but wo can't give the name of the wearer yob. 1n mantles the display is fashionable and good, at close figures, aucl is 0135 of Mrs, Rogers' specialties. Thera were many visitors at the Opening and the proprio• tress is well satisfied with the sales and orders. Other particulars will be cheer- fully famished to persons calling, if they are not satisfied with this report. The reporters, to whose untutored minds there is something alarming and mysterious in the multifarious glades, tints, colors, materials, trimmings, oto., are permitted to enter the holy of holies and gaze with fond and ill concealed admiration at the beautiful displays, or listen as if eu. trued as they are initiated into the mysteries of toques, turbans, high crowns, low Crowns, shallow drowns, broad rims, narrow rims, and all the innumerable teohnioal terms pertaining to this won dorful art. Oae mush see to appreciate. HISS 11000I110 had her show room arranged in a neat and most attractive manner and, assisted by Miss Sample, every attention was given eo the many visitors who inspected the new goods. A peep at the neatly dressed window gave an idea of Me many uuiquo styles for this season, but on entering the beholder was oven bobber pleased. Auteinu Mae are heavy. Many plumage novelties ars shown—wings, quills, birds and ostrich features. Paradise aigrettes, and also the leas fluffy kinds are much worn, and frequenbiy take the plaoe of the body of birds, being attached to the head of some bright colored songster. Plateaux of felt and sillry beaver are be- ing revived ; they are draped over frames ingraceful folds, and converted into tak- lug toques, whinb at present are more popular than real largo. hats. Steel oruameuts aro vastly popular. Iu some, tiny steel rivets are used alone, while in others they are combined with Rhine- stones et in old 5110er. Jobs are used to decorate toques and bonnets. Gray in a ohinuhlla shade is very fashionable in millinery. Very handsome large hats are shown, also numerous lames, turbans and mourning bonnets. She has a full line of latest novelties in felt hats, fedor- as, sailors, in fact all up-to•dabe French and New York styles.. Purple gray, brim. liens, blue, cornflower and green are colors greatly in vogue. Having ma hand stab a large aucl well selected millinery stock, Miss Roddick will no doubt sell more hats than over. The orders taken en aucl sinoe the Opening wars most sat- isfactory and the outlook as cheering.
