Fall Millinery Display.
Last week one of the events of the year
that catches the feminine fanny camp
round in due course iu Brussels, viz, the
Millinery Openings. The weather was
hardly as bright as desired, but taking it
all in all it compared very favorably with
the years that are )passed away.

while the
(neral e e
n
suit, a great richness is noticeable in all
the models. In point of size the "ore-
ations" of '98 will be somewhat smaller
than lastWinter. The tendency the ap.
parent, to orowd a tremendous weight of
trimming on to a large shape, has been
superseded by patterns more compact
and infinitely more artistio. The crowd-
ing of colors in endless riot , upon every
hat is also a thing of the past. No end
there are to the colors to choose from,
but individual fanoy may be brought
more into play, and greater attention
paid to suiting faces and complexion
more exaotly.
Trimming, ribbons, sequin trimmings,
feathers, birds, and even the body
materials of the hats bow down to
this latest "gyration" freak of Dame
Fashion, and, as a consequence, the Win-
ter hat will be an endless array of tor.
teens twists of material, which strange
to say make a feature.
Another feature is the richness of
feather trimmings shown, simple feathers
being almost a thing of the past. Iu
some, three or four colors are artistically
blended, while others sparkle with the
weight of jet and sequin embroidery.
Maohine able:thing in ribbons, velvets and
Wings is another novelty of the season.
Metal and Rhinestone ornaments in stick
pins, buckles, comb effects and clasps will
figure on almost every hat, and in these,
as in the feather trimmings, the varieties
will be richer and more expensive, costing
in some oases as much as jewelry. The
two knots this year are the Lovers' and
Louie knots, neither of which are large,
but both of which include the new
"twisty" feature, which is obtained by a
loose shirring of the ribbon or other
brimming on fine wire.
The velvets used are plain, three toned
mirror plush, plisse, spots, embroidered,
brocaded and stamped. The colors lead-
ing aro blank, blank and white, blue and
green ; of course, there are a great many
oharmiug new tones of old colors, but the
leading favorite is blank relieved with
other Dolor, and handsome plumes and
ornaments aro a most notable feeearo.
They Dome in steel, steel and torquoise,
brilliants or pest° and pearls. The large
Welt pins with heavy end of jet and
fanoy filligree of metal are used in all
shapes.
Ib is not the intention of Tun POST. to
go into anything like a minute desoriptiou
of what maybe seen ab the different
show rooms in town, as it would require
an exert Beau Beummel to comprehend
and describe the nature and grandeur of
the stoops carried by local dealers.
Every lady who loves neat headgear and
smart attire, and all the ladies who read
TNN PosT do, will visit one or all of the
millinery rooms to see for themselves, if
they have not already done so. There
they will find suoh a variety as would
charm the heart of fominimity the world
over.

FALL Fant NOTES,
East Huron Fall Show leads the van.
There was not a side show of any die•
cription.
A bigger and better exhibition build-
ing is a necessity.
The town flag floated from the flag
staff on the "Palace."
Brussels Band discoursed good mueio
during Friday afternoon.
A high board fence is one of the sesen-
tialo to larger gate receipts.
Hundreds of baskets of grapes were
sold on the grounds by the six dealers.
Tho gate receipts totalled $415, which
wibb an admission fee of 10 and 15 cents
shows a good attendance.
The Treasurer will be at Brussels
Town Hall on Saturday, Oot. 22nd, from
1 to 0 p. m. to pay prizes.
Messrs. Ewan & Innes made a dandy
exhibit of buggies and cutters that at-
tracted a great deal of attention.
Among the newspaper men noticed
were M. Y. McLean, Huron Expositor ;
W. T. Hall, Advance, Wingham ; Jas.
Irwin, Sun, Liman ; and Tun Pose repre-
sentative.
An attractive feature of the interior
department was an exhibit of Algoma
grown fruit from Wm. Harris, formerly
of Brussels. There were Fall and Win-
ter apples, crabs and plums. It was e
revelation to many.
Robb. Nichol, Jas. Speir, and W. H.
McCutoheon, of Morris ; Arch. McNeil,
Howiok ; 3. Dorrence, I, Edwards and
J. S. Cowan made a great display of well
bred swine. Owing to the great interest
taken in hog breeding, this department of
live stock was closely scrutinized.
Continued on page 4.
Thursday and Friday of last week were
the dates of East Huron Agricultural
Fall Fair. Thuraday was a clear, beauti-
ful Summer day, and as a result the ex-
hibits for the interior department came
in in such large quantities that space for
display wee at a premium, and the judges
had no sinaoure. In the evening there
was a large attendance of visitors. The
town Band was in attendance and in ad-
dition vocal selections were rendered by
Mr. Allen, of Orediton ; and instrument-
al musio by Miss Lizzie Sample, Secre-
tary Stewart and others.

and rain fell oasionallY, ]set to remind
the Directors of the Fair days of past
years. Before noon' old Sol. shone out
and the balance of the day was delight-
ful. Tbe crowd came from the North,
South, East and West, and by 2 o'clock
the biggest oompany ever seen on Bens -
eels Fair ground had assembled.
In the various classes of horses, cattle,
sheep, pigs and poultry there was a large
and excellent exhibit that would be dif-
ficult to excel.
While the judging was in progress the
amusement side of the program was in
full swing in three well -contested speed -
fag contests, a bicycle race and foot
races. There were no entries for the
lady driving, hence it did not materialize.
In the 2.80 test there were three horses
started, viz :—Stratton Bros'. "Texas
Guy," a speedy pacing stallion with a
record of 2.88, • Day's 'Sadie D." with
a mark of 2,20e ; and P. Soott's green
mare "Lucy Olay," and it took no less
than six heats to decide the winner.
"Sadie" caught her hind foot on her front
in the Brd heat, and upset herself, Dart
and driver. Fortunately no serious
damage was done. Then in the next
heat R. Williams assayed to hold the
ribbons on "Sadie" and he was sent to
grass by being run into by "Texas Guy's"
cart. The following is the summary :—
