East iluron Fall Show.
Last Friday, the second day of the
Show, :taw a large number Of people
On the fair grouud8, it being estimat-
od that there worn over 2,000 pres-
ent. rho "Palace" was thronged
all afternoon and everything was well
inspocted. The display in the inside
department was not as large in some
classes ns in farina yoars bttt the
exhibits wore butter. In roots and
hoed crops we novae saw'a much bet-
tor show. Outside ono of the most
noticeable foaturos was the largo and
splendid allow of cattle, Tho sheep
and pig pens wero not filled as well
as we have seen them but the ani-
mals 013 exhibition wore of a high
order and well deserving of prizes.
Special montion might be made of
tho Shropshire down sheop of Chas.
Hingston and Thos. Heritage and
Juo. Cumming and Win. Machan in
Cotswolds. Jac Tuck, of Cranbrook,
who is taking a foremost position as
brooder of pure bred Borkshiro and
Suffolk pigs, took 5 let prizes and 1
2nd ou his exhibit. They are worth
seeing. David Milne and Thos. Roes
had large herds of thoro'•bred and
grade cattle on exhibition. The show
of poultry was up to tho average but
the want of properly constructed coops
to show the birds is a disadvantage to
the exhibitor. Jas. Harrison, of Bel -
grave was the largest oxhfbitor. In
the horse ring a large number of ex-
cellent colts wero shown but the num-
ber of entries in the carriage, buggy
and saddle classes were small. The
show ring is not in good shape to
even give an animal a fair chance.
Putting on two sots of judges for tho
!horses, one for heavy and the other
fox light horses was a move in the
right direction. The gate receipts
will tally fairly well with other years
and taking tho show all in all it was
a good one. 'Wo have not space to
mention many things worthy of not-
ice but will refer our readers to the

MILLINEIRY OP1:NIN1td,
• G. A. POWELT..—Last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday the New Garfield House had
the opening :of their millinery show
rooms for the fall of 1855. Tho proprietor
went to a lot of trouble in decorating the
place with lace curtains, silks, satins, flow.
ors, feathers, flags, lamps, ere. and mare
than ono compliment was paid him regard-
ing the handsome appearance of the store.
Miss Pretty had a nice display of hats,
bonnets and all that appertains to this par-
ti'oular line of business and without going
into the detail of what was on exhibition
we clay say rho work showed to good ad-
vantage and proved that Miss Pretty is an
adapt in the work of pleasing the public.
This is rho opening of the second season in
millinery and Mr Bowel/ is well satisfied.
The show windows were very much ad-
mired and woro deserving of praise. The
Brussels band played for about an hour at ,9fr
the opening ou Saturday evening, rd
A. 10. Sutra.—The largo banner "Fall
Millinery Opening hero to-day,"'was hung
out from tho store of A. 10. Smith on Friday
and Saturday and wending our way to the
millinery room wo found hiss Lack had
not been idle in getting a lot of millinery
goods ready for exhibition. The ladies
were there, of course, and tried on ahnost
every hat and bonnet fa the place, so that
they went away happy for once, Miss
Lack needs no introduction to the• pnblio as
her handiwork of the season just passed
speaks for itself and a busy season is ex-
pected. There aro several noticeable
changes in the styles and shapes of hate
but the now ones aro within bounds.
Birds and feathers will bo worn largely as
trimming. Mr. Smith had a aka display
of velvets in his window.,
F. 0. Boesns.—Before the sight -seers
wont home they visited F. C. Rogers' store
and met with a warm reception. There
were on tiro hat and bonnet stands goods
that tempted morn than 0110 lady, and more
than one wish was expressed for that little
"duck" of a bonnot and that 'sweet looking'
het. Miss Filer,. who holds her old posi-
tion, evidently understands her business
and is able to eater to the wants of tho
ladies. This millinery hu•fnes.; has be -
30111e one of rho dtitnres of Ilt'n,,eli and
people expect something good every year.
Mr. Magnus had also a handsome display of
dross goods and everything that is essential
to make rho fair sex happy, :t big trade is
counted on at ilio Dominion Rouse this
fall.
Mits. ALExeani:u.•--Iu addition to the die,
play made at tlto exhibition grounds a lot
of becoming shapes in hat:: awl Luunets
wore tastefully trimmed and ren,ly for solo
at
tho Lion's store. Although them is not
much outward duty the work don -by kers.
