Three Thousand People on the Grounds. Gate Reoipts Nearly Double that of the Previous Year. On TLursday and Friday of last week the annual Fall Fair of the East Huron Agricultural Society was held on the Show grounds et Brussels. By noon on the first day the Hall was well stocked with the various exhibits pertaining to this department, the farm products be. ing specially prominent. The judges eoon got to work and in the evening the Hall was thrown open to the public, when some 400 people visited it and took in the eights and sounds. Instrumental music was furnished by the Brussels Dand, organ, violin and harmonica. An exhibition of club swinging was given by Rina Rogers, Mend Hall, Lizzie Roddick, Nellie Ward, Katie Wilson and Rosie LeBon, At 10 o'olook, in a heavy down- pour of rain, the crowd dispersed for their respective homes. Some little anxiety was felt by the Directors owing to the rain but Friday She sky cleared and the day was all that could be desired. Early in the morning the people began to pour in from the morth, south, east and west, some 150 or xoore coming by train. At 11:80 o'clock the football match between Brussels and ;iiluevale was commenced on 'Victoria Spare and was finished about 12:45. The contest was to break a tie an de. side who was to become owner of the silver cup. The game was a good one throughout. In the first half time the tome ebb Won ccgoal and in the last ball secured two more to the 'visitors 0. dioal-keeper Sloan did some excellent -,work for Brussels, and F. Wood, in 3iluevale goal, did himself credit as he tad altos place to 1111. There was no Tough playing and Referee McColl's de. .dsions appeared to give very general ,satisfaction. Jno. Smith, of Seaforth, Inlayed with Brussels. The visiting team put up a good game of football but if they played more team work they would do better. After dinner the visitors, exhibitors and townspeople went to the Fair grounds and it is stated that fully 8,000 people were in attendance. The outside depart- ment was, if anything, ahead of the .Palace," the horse ring being specially well filled in the various competitions, and the judges had a big afternoon's work awarding the prize tickets.

Hewitt were the largest prize winners in the cattle and sheep competition. W. H. MoCraoken captured 00 prizes, We suggest that Mao. should hold a Fall Fair of his own to be known as "Mo- Craoken's Fall Show." The bedroom suites, &o., exhibited by Messrs. Smith & Malcolm, and R, Leatherdale proved to the public that they need not go out of town to secure the beet in this line. The "sweet tooth" of visitore was satisfied by G. A. Deadman disposing of sections of honey on the grounds. A large number of bees were on hand to see that the work was done properly. With enlarged grounds East Huron Agl. Show will take no second place iu the County. A joint stook Co. is pro- posed to work in conjunction with the Society in purchasing 10 additional aures of land. A number of shares have been taken already. It is a tip-top idea. nu•0O0EMENTe REWIRED. New fence. Show grounds enlarged. Repairs to the "Palace." A good traok for roadster and carriage horses. A section of the ground fenced off to be kept exclusively for cattle. A new office for the Secretary.Treasur- er and Directors in some central position. Some permanent refreshment stands. They would always rent at a paying figure. • Sidewalk from Turnberry street to the Fair ground, and entrance gate changed to east end of ground. Judges to take more pains in marking the books awarding the prizes, and thus prevent mistakee being made. The idea of enlarging and improving the Grey Branob Show ground has been talked of and hinted at for the past six or eight years, and yet nothing bas been done. Needed improvements were not made because of a proposed change in the arrangements, bet the time for de• oided action has come, and a atop in advance has to be taken or we lose our grip on one of the best exhibitions in Huron. We will put the prize list of the East Huron Fair alongside that of any other show in the County without fear. ing the result of the comparison. What is required at this juncture? A aro hustle on the part of the officers of this Society and the hearty co-operation of all interested in the growth of this very important organization. Every Director should attend the nett meeting, and oome prepared to report progress in the desired end before us. With the success of last week's Pair, to give a fresh impetus to our good desires, let as prove to the public that we have faith in the outlook of the, East Huron Agricultural Society. Ge.,. Hal - It will take three months to lay the brick floor on the Port Huron tunnel. A little boy bad one of his feet naught between a plank and a rail at a crossing in Toronto Friday. A woman seeing the dangerous position he 000upied held hint down till an approaohing brain had passed over ono of his feet, doubtless by her pre- sence of mind saving the boy's life, The small stump on which young Ben• well's foot was resting when his remains were found has been removed to Wood. Stock and is now on exhibition fn the window of Willie' cigar store. The laves stump Which also supported a portion of the unfortunate young man's body, has been nearly all carried away by .relic motors. Weed from 000 Canso or another, rho adeno leas 14001110 so conn. pletely altatiged as to be almost beyond recognition.
