Threatening weather, no doubt told against the ab1eadanoe of visitors, yet thorn was a good crowd and, barring the intense heat, the day was all that could be desired. A few evergreen arches, flags, &o., lent a holiday air to the streets and the ener- getic Committee, with J. E. Biaok as President ; Juo. Brothauer, vice•Presi• dont ; Geo.

There were no vexations dolays nor soaring off of promised and , advertised events. Brussels Brass Baud was early on the some, with W. Grower as Bandmaster, end merited and received many compli- ments for the excellency of their musio and the generosity with which they ren. dared it, About tan o'clock the parade took plane. It was expected that the various trades world be represented but that was not realized and the procession consisted of bicycles, ridden by ladies and gents, in winch the elegant as well as the Adieu. Ione were represented, calithumpians, &c. The judges awarded the prizes as follows: —Best dressed gent, R. Andiron ; best dressed lady, Mise Tena Rae ; best ohar- meter represeuted, J.

A movement was made to the Park after the parade whore a foot ball match was to take plane between the school teams of Brussels end Wroxeter. At the outset it looked as if the:home team was likely to have the piny a good deal their own way but as the game progressed and the visitors were ooaohed the tide turned and at the conclusion of the game the score stood 4 to 2 in favor of Brussels. There was a lob of very neat ball playing, especially by some of oho smaller lads in the ranks. The boys lined up as fol- lows :— BRDB0EL3. WnexETIDn. Leslie Kerr Goal.

An ad- journment was in order at this stage of the proceedings for dinner, at which all appeared to play "forwards," with both right and left wing busily employed for a coneideeable time. nn0000zs Aim wnoxreen were battling for supremacy oil the base ball diamond soon after 1 o'clock and for five innings chased the ball and ran the bases.

Stewart, of Wingham, as Jaok Brawn, who catches for Brueaele was behind the bat for the team of his own village, with J. Hooper as the twirler. Some predicted that it world be a close game but after a good start in the sat and 2u0 innings the home nine went out of the run getting business while their op. poneuts rattled out 5 in the Ord, when the game stood a hie, winning the match by a 00or0 of 18 to 8 and a half innings to spare.
