What do the Directors of the Grey Branch think about selling the present grounds and purchas- ing a larger and better arranged plot? It has become so fashion- able to have attractions at Fall Exhibitions, to draw a crowd and amuse them when they get there, in the way of bicycle races, prizes for driving, riding, &c. that it be- hooves the Directors of the East Huron, and Grey Branch Shows to bestir themselves if our shows are to retain their popularity. We don't believe in making the Fall Shows a playground for sporting men but where some novelty can be introduced it is money well spent. With the present state of the show ring on our grounds no- thing can be done, but our idea would be this :—Sell the old. grounds ; form a co -partnership with the Caledonian Society and purchase the race course. In ad- dition to these two societies a large number of our townspeople who own hors, s have signified their willingness to put in $10 each, a year, for the privilege of driving on the track. The above move if it could be arranged would prove a beneficial one to the agricultural societies rind give the Caledonian Society a ground of their own. We suppose there are objections to this pion but we arepersuaded the good resulting from it would outweigh them. Our columns are open for the opinions of persons both pro and con. Brussels Connell.

CRICKET 11ATCH. nft.`AHEt.H VH. LIHTOV'EI.. • Last Saturday morning the crick- et elub of Listowel came to Brussels to play tho return match with our teals The any was beautiful, and the game a highly enjoyable one all through, more eepceially so to the home team as they had an oppor- tunity of defeating the visitors and in this way returning the compliment for their defeat at Listowel. The men from the east went first to the bat. but must have been their day off as they only got 18 to their credit when the last wicket fell. 8 mon be. ing bowled out. floss and Kitchen evidently had their compass sot right. Brussels then took tho wil- low and made 48, of which number D. Ross made 14, the one double fig- uro reached during the game. Listo- wel doubled the soore of the first in- nings and put one run additional to it, melting 87 in all. Brussels had 18 rims to make to win the match i.nd they did this with 5 wickets to spare. The appended score will give the particulars of the game. R. E. Wade and G. Elliot were umpires and J. R. Grant and J. W. Shaw scorers. 131 T REELS. -1sT INNINUS. Laird, b Ferguson, D. Ross, c W. 3.

An enthusiastic Convention of the Re- formers of East Huron was held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Thursday after- noon of last week, for the purpose of elect- ing office -bearers for the ensuing year, and for taking steps towards checkmating the efforts of the Revising -barristers at the next election. Tho chair was taken by Thos. Strachan, Reeve of Grey township, and on the platform were Thos. Gibson, M.P.P. ; Dr. Macdonald, of Winghom ; W. T, li. Preston, Secretary of the Provincial Reform Association, and W. II, Kerr, Secretary of East Huron Reform Aeeoeiation, The Chairman in opening the meeting dwelt upon the necessity for immediate and earnest work in the matter of the voters' lists, and stated that it was by close atten- tion to the revising of the lists that the next elections in East Huron had to be won. Not only the candidates, but every intelli- gent and right-minded voter should take a personal interest in the perfecting of the lists, and no legitimate effort should be left undone to counteract the machinations of Sir John Macdonald's Revising -barristers. At the last Dominion elaetions the Reform. ors had not been suoceseful in ousting the Tory party, but since that time a change has conte over popular sentiment, and there was every reason t0 believe that the corrupt Government which had held away since 1878 would receive its death -blow at the next general poll. The means that had been resorted to by Sir John and his eel - leagues were well-known, and it was not necessary for the speaker to enter into de- tails before a meeting of intelligent Reform- ers, earth as this Convention was composed of. The Tory party had resorted to the most unscrupulous methods to hold office in 1883, and had been eueaeseful for the time, But the day of reckoning was com- ing when the broken promises, the corrupt expenditures, and the iniquitous legislation weal rise up in judgment Against them. Reform principles had been trampled turd. el' foot by tht' Government et Ottawa, and Gm Liberal leaders had been belittled in Tory prints, but nevertheless their princi- ples were still heli dear by a largo section of the Canadian people, and the leaders of our party 91111 had a high place in the hearts of the Reforms re of the Dominion, (Applause.) In Ontario, the greatest of the Provinces, Liberalient continued to hall sway, notwithst+ n ling the dead set which Irl sway, male upon it by the powers at Ottawa and there satellites, And Ontario continued to prosper with a Reform Pro- vincial Government, under that able and energetic, defender of Provincial Rights, IIon, Oliver Mowat, and as with Ontario, so would it eventually be with the entire Dominion, For the day WAS corning when corruption and extravagance in ltiglt places would be no mere, and when Liberalism would prevail throughout the land. Moved by Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, seconded by Wm. Isbister, of Morris, that one set of officers be appointed for the East Riding of Huron for the Local House and the gerrymandered East Riding for the Com- mons. Carried. The election of officers was then proceed- ed with. and resulted as follows :—Presi- dent, E. E. (Sade, Brussels ; 1st Vice - President, Geo, McNay, Wingham ; 2nd Viee-President, J. R. Govenlock, maintop; Secrotary-Treasurer, W. H. herr, Brea - sale. T he following Chairmen for municipal. itios were also appointed :—Howiek, Chas, McLaughlin ; Turnberry, Geo, Fortune ; Wroxeter, J. Paulin ; Morris, Wm. Isbistor ; Brussels, P. Thomson ; McKillop, Wm. Cash ; Blyth, N. II. Young ; Hullett, John McMillan. After the work of organization had been duly proceeded with, W. T. R. Preston, Secretary of the Provincial Association, was called upon to address the meeting, and in a vigurous speech explained the working of the Franchise Bill, and pointed out the hest means of successfully fighting the objectionable features of !the Act. As he scored point after point against the ini- quitous measure he was loudly and enthue. medically applauded. The speaker pointed out amongst other things that individual effort was necessary on the part of the Re- formers if they aimed at success, for the Revising -barrister would take good care to look after the Tory interests. At the con. clusion of his address a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Mr. Preston. Ehort speeches were also made by Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, Dr. Macdonald, of Wing - ham, Thomas Gibson, M,P,P„ Wroxeter, and others. At the close of the meeting the following resolutions were unanimously carried by the Convention :—Moved by Geo. McKib- bon,seconded by Geo. Hood, that this As- sociation regards the leadership of the Lib- eral party, by the Hon. Edward Blake, and his epeeches in reference to North-west mismanagement, the Canada Pacific Rail- ways absorption of the earnings of our people and the unfair and unpatriotic Fran- chise Bill, as being unequalled for ability and correctness of all facts, and the people of this country should keep him at the head of affairs if they desire an honest and able administration of affairs. Moved by Dr. Sloan, seconded by Wm. Iabisier, that this meeting desire to put on record our full confidence in the Local Gov- ernment of Ontario, led by the Hon. Oliver Mowat, and pledge ourselves in the future as in the past to give it our most earnest and hearty support. Canadian Newes. The potato crop in the vicinity of New Sarum is almost a total failure, on account of the rot. Some fields are not worth digging. Euchre is the favorite game with some Stratford people in the Queen's Park on Sunday afternoons. A num- ber have been arrested and fined. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company had a force of five hundred men at work all Saturday night and Sunday taking tip and loading on the care the ties and rails on the sixteen - mile loop lino now being built through Southern Manitoba. The loop line was built in consideration of the abandonment of Emerson's right to build an independent road and also in consideration of the oily building an iron bridge across the Bed River. ]Much excitement prevails. The City Council meet to-dav, and will apply to the Court at Wmdipeg to restrain the Company from removing the rails, and also to comply with the terms of the contract, and run a daily train on the loop lino. The police are arresting the men for Sunday work. The citizens are determined, and. trouble is expected. About ten o'clock on Monday night an ants -vaccination mob from the East end took possession for a time of the city of iIontreal. Tho police showed the utmost incapacity through out, The rioters were all French- Canadians, and they, despite the po- lice, broke the lamps on the Champ do Mare, and also in the City Hall. Then they went singing down to The Herald office and broke the windows there and attempted to got et' the editor, but the printers wore all ready for the mob. From here they went and raided Aid. Gronier's plane, and then went for Dr. Laborgo, the Health Officer's, but damaged an• other residence in mistake for the Doctor's. The excitement was in- tense, and the English Volunteers bo• gan running to their armories, look- ing and making ready for the worst. The police wore helpless, end their cowardice is condemned on all sides, Two of the ringleaders have boon arrested, named Moreau and Belac, Six of tho rioters were wounded, 1885 Oor, 2, 1885, gARF-ELB BBL 0 Everyone delighted at the grand display of Now Pall Millinery, shown at our City Millinery Opening, and the universal opinion is that there has never been anything like it west of Toronto.
