On their return journey they will call at Niagara, Lon- don and other places of interest, Choice Weather, Great Crowds, Big Exhibits and Satisfac- tory Financial Results. Directors well pleased and Optimistically Planning improvements. Eget Huron Agricultural Society was established more than 60 years ago, with the late W. 0, Hingetnn and Donald Stewart as 2 of its most hearty supporters and active mewbere of the board, Other neighboring so- cieties have had their ups and downs, same of them mostly the latter, but East Huron has maintained a steady course and amidst all the changes is pt'ospering. They own their own 10 acre flue park, with modern buildings, half mile track, are out of debt for years and present a list of prizes that is not easily matched by its neighbors. 1924 Fair compared very favorably with the past record and the Officiary has good reason to congratulate them- selves on the success of this annual gathering. Thursday forenoon was a busy time in placing the multifarious exhibits in the well planned "Palace" and the afternoon was well occupied by the various Judges in making the awards ou the excellent exhibits, no easy task in meaty caees. In the Ladies' department the dia. play was a wonderfully exhibition and there were so many exhibitors the prizes were well divided. Fine Arts presented an attractive array and the school pupils were much in evidence in the classes open to them. One location always well filled at the Fair is the Dairy and Baking de. pertinent' and the Judges:mnight al- most close their eyes and place the tickets, so good were the many speci- mens. The old story of the good things that "mother used to bake" finds its counterpart in the excellency of the necessities produced by the East Huron caterer% to the dinner and supper tables of this constituency, 'The working man's supper" display is a sample at this Fair of what is in evidence in many a home. Roots and vegetables were good, with noticable absence of the big dis- play that used to be made by the late W. E. McCracken, Jas. Jackson, J, Chapman and others. For a good season for grain the number of entries was small and the off-year Winter crop of apples was ap- parent altlirngh a goodly number of classes were taken up. ,There is room fur a livelier interest in the line. "I have better than that a borne" will it never build up nt• sustain a Fall Fair. East Huron flower lovers are not re- creant to their duty in neglecting to prove their Horticultural ambition to lead the %vay. The display and ar- rangement of it evoked many a com- pliment. Wm. Hartry, a past Presi- dent of the Horticultural Association, was the Judge and said solve flatter- ing things about the beauty of the floral exhibit, Weather probabilities were scanned and radio prognostications sought by more than one regarding the chances for Friday's Fair. To the delight of all, the day was simply delightful, real Summer-like and the Fair grounds were all the better of the earlier show - ere. n fine. Tbe outside exhibit "Was Hor- ses, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry were there with quality, quantity and variety sufficient to afford lively competition in mnstclasses. While the auto and the tractor are credited with sidetracking the equine, the Fall Fair proves that many au extra good an- imal is still on hand to be hitched to the plough or attached to the buggy. Listowel fine Kiltie Band led the way to the Agricultural Park shortly after 1 o'clock, followed.by the school pupils and teachers having to do with the parade aid a full afternoon's pro- gram was entered upon and cartied to a successful issue. The great ,crowd took in their specialties,ecialtiea at the show ho w ring, witnessed the games and aPoris drills, cviewed the eights from the Ferris wheel, made the circle of the merry-go-round, ate ice cream and renewed old friendships with those not frequently seen. It was a great day and %vas fully enjoyed, Walton school put on a great display in their a representation,in heit J a anese 1 charge of rancher Pinder. Blore were 43 in their contingent. The jinrickshi drawn by R. Drager had as juvenile occupants Alex, Hood and Muriel Derides representing the Emperor and Empress. First prize went to Walton. Miss Islay Crawford, with her 25 pu- pile of,S. S. No, 4, Morris, represented tlreatBritaiu, dressed in white with Hugs and emblematic coloring of red, white and blue. They received and prize, S, 8, No, 3, Morris, was also on hand and secured the 8rd award, Ful. lowing this was a well executed Wand Drill by the girls of Brussels Continua- tion School and immediately after Drill Instructor Coates put the Boy Snouts through various evolutions and also demobstratated 1st Aid work, It was interesting and practical, THE CONCERT Friday evening filled the Opera House to capacity and outside of a few gab. bees good order was tnaiutained. President Ross thanked the people for the big success etteuding the 8'itlr and looked forward to a bigger and better gathering next year, suggesting that a Baby Showy might be a new feature, Program tvas excellent. Talent con- sisted of Miss Jessie Butt, soprano ; Mies Kathleen Reid, violinist ; Mrs, Seeley, pianist and accompanist ; nut', Barry Bennett; humorist, all of Tor- outo, All did their respective putts itt tette professional style, wens very ready to respond to many generouelre. calls ;toil sustained the interest to the close. The costuming was neat and attractive and was minus the "loud - nese" sometimes seen on the etage. Solos were well rendered, the charac. ter duets of Miss Jessie Butt and Mr, Bennett took well ; as a violinist Miss Kathleen Reid is fine, and Mrs. Seeley performed her part as pianist and ac- companist most satiefactorily. Re- ceipts were $180 00. Progratn of Speeding events must have pleaeed the sporting element as the various teats were hotly contested, and in some cases 6 heats were neces- sary to.decideitbe winners, Following were the termite TIIE RACES 2 20 Trot or Pace - Patch ',McGregor 1 1 1 Billy Bingen .........., 2 3 2 William 11. ..................

Poultry Display was a dandy, School parade attracted no small attention and performed their part well. Judging by the line-up of . automo- biles, times are not as hard as the croakers make out. In the Balloon race the prizes went to Doris McDonald, Jean Stewart and Margaret Strachan, Speeding event. are evidently popu- lar by the.way the people hurry on to see the finishes. The childrens' foot races were in charge of N. F. Gerry as usual but we have not the list of winners. Better accommodation for showing hods is one of the necessities of the Fair. It might increase the quautity of the exhibits. The Ladies' Display of Fancy Work at Brussels Fair would be difficult to supersede. It's no easy task to place the awards. Gate receipts were round $800.00 and that with 2 tickets given every member and school children in parade being admitted free. President Ross h asramised a Bab Show for 1925 Fair. promised should be good territory for ahowling success in this attractive contest. Secretary -Treasurer Black lab won 1 the right to be designated "good and faithful servant," It's no small chore and we speak after years of experience The tidy engine exhibited and man, ufactured by Chas, Pope, of Brussels Machine Shop, attracted no small at- tention.
