A BIG SUCCESS.
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. There
was also a fine show of cattle, sheep, pigs
amd poultry, W. H. McCracken and Jas.
