Last Thursday and Friday the annual Fall Exhibition under the auspices of the East Riding•of Haven and Grey I3ranoh Agricultural Societies was held On the Agri0ultarabl?arlt, Brussels. A. usual Ole Bolding of the Fair brought rain, but nevertheless it W96 ono of the best dia. plays ever made here, the only apparent shortage being ie the Fruit Department, width is usually one of the finest in the County: Secretary Stewart was' besieged with entries and by 1 p. m. on Friday his book showed the following interesting par.

IN Tem "PS1,Ae0" competition was particularly keen. Es- pecially was this so in the No. 1 display made by the Ladies, as may bo imagined by 250 entries. In some pleases there were many entries, such as patched quilts, 12 ; rag mate, 10 ; darned net, 9 fancy.knitfing in wool, 9 &o.,so that Mian. Jones had no easy task in eeleoting- the prize winners from such a splendid meaty of ornamental, useful and handsome combination. The bntter, bread and cake department was well represented, Mrs, T. Ballantyne securing four 1st awards in the cookery line. In furniture, organs and pianos R. Leatherdale.and D. G. Hogg each made elegant displays. Thos. Moore also showed an organ. Messrs. Wilton &Turnbull made a neat exhibit of stoves. H. Dennis and I. 0. Richards carried off the tickets for light and heavy harness and the honors in fine Arts and a very handsome collection of flowers were divided. Mies Minnie Stew- art was awarded 11 prizes in the latter. The roots and vegetables wore well worthy of the attention they received and in many instances were not excelled at the Industrial or Western. Taking the inside department all through it would compare very favorably with any previous Fair heldin this Riding. 22E 80811 STOOK REMIT was epeoially,good. In light and heavy horses the prizetickets were widely dis- tributed, many very fine animals being in the ring. Quite a number more buggy and carriage horses would have been shown had the weather. been more ro- .pitious. In thorn' bred cattle D. Milne, Amos Smith, R. Corley, 0. Eckmier and J.

Walker, Brussels, made an elegant dis- play of buggies and ()utters that could not be out -done by a city establishment. His ball bearing buggy was a ep00ial aurae- tion, Jno. Wynn took 1st for limber wagon. He had no buggies on exhibition. Messrs,'Cardiff&Best, ,3, 7. Gilpin and P. Scott represented the agricultural im- plament line. J. Landesboro' and Wal- ter Richardson had samples of their farm gates, which attracted no small amount of attention from those interested.

East Huron canal be beaten for good butter makers. There was Only one entry) for the saw- ing match so it was cancelled. Stook did not show as well es usual owing to the cold wind and occasional rain showers. H. R. Brewer's display of photos. was A 1 and would have done credit to any Toronto studio. The usual honey exhibit: made by G. A. Deadman was missing, as this is au "off" year in the honey business. A dime museum, and a whip, handker- ohief•and jewelry vendor attracted con- siderable attention and raked in quite a few dollars. Among the successful exhibitors Walter Taylor took 4491:1909 ; W. H. Modraok- en, 42 ; 0. Henderson & Son, 88 ; Mrs, T. Ballantyne, 24. In sewing machines J. J.. Gilpin, T. Moore and R.
