a Splendid
Big Crowd, Large Receipts
and Many
Success
A 1 Entries
$875.60 Receipts from the Two Concerts in Rink.
The passing years shows no declin-
ing in East Huron Pall Fair either in
entries or attendance and is the result
of trying to attain and retain a high
standard. Board is to be con-
gratulated:
Thursday forenoon the "Palace"
was well stocked with a splendid
Luray in the various departments en-
compassed, The Ladies' work was so
large difficulty was experienced in
allotting space sufficient for it.
Fruit exhibit was not up to some
other years in quantity, owing to
short crop, although the quality was
A. 1. In roots and vegetables there
were many fine specimens and the
list was well filled. Bread, cake, pies
and other cookery were on hand in
rich profusion and of a character that
spectators broke the Commandment
that says, "Thou shalt not covet."
This locality will match the best go-
ing when it comes to good cooking or
excellent butter making. Flower
display was vet y nice but not very
extensive, the frost nipping some of
the gardens. The Fine Alta and
Children's competition were interest-
ing features of the inside display.
CATTLE JUDGING BY BOYS
Thursday afternoon an item of in-
terest on the program was a cattle
judging contest by boys under 18
years of age, 310.00 being divided in-
to 7 awards, and donated by Vice
President Dames. Thos. McMillan,
the well known stock man, of Hui -
lett, was Judge and addressed the
boys before and after the judging.
Two bead of cattle were on the
grounds and these were gone over by
the contestants and the points favor-
able and otherwise put in writing.
The 1st and 2ncl prize winners score
cards showed a good grasp *pf the
somewhat difficult problem of award-
ing prize tickets in stock judgment.
List of winnersmay be read on page 4,
Ibis a feature that should be contin-
ued even 11 11 has hada place on the
program of this Fair for a nutnber of
years. Mr. Dames deserves thanks
for his generosity.
Old Probs. smiled serenely on Thurs-
day but Friday morning there were
tears in his eyes, the sky was clouded
and rain fell. But the day turned out
very good after all although weather
was a trifle cool. Throngs of people
began pouring in at an early hour and
as the trains arrived these were added
to by not a few. The "buzz wagons"
were largely in evidence many of
them coming many miles and by the
time 1 p. in. arrived as big a crowd as
ever if not larger, found its way to
the spacious Agricultural Park, head-
ed by the Highland Band from Kin-
cardine who rendered a fine program
during the afternoon and evening.
There were large classes in draft
and general purpose horses, many of
them prime animals, while the light
horses were there in large numbers,
nota few of them dandies. Good
cattle exhibits were made, Jas. Seely,
of Morris township, carrying ,off the
bulk of the prizes in the thoro breds.
While some of the old timers are
dropping out some of the younger
men are preparing to take themplaces.
Sheep awards went largely .to a few
exhibitors and the same in hogs and
although Lite entries were good wider
interest is awakened when there is
more opposition. Poultry awards
were largely (raptured by J. Haggitt,
of Blyth. A new role was on the pro-
gram this year viz awarding prizes to
chicks. Them is mom for a thorough
vevision of the Poultry department
which may be done before another
Fele. The big display of buggies and
cutters usually made by D. Ewan,
Mussels, was missed this year owing
to his absence 111 Pennsylvania. A
number of agricultural implement
agents made exhibits and the Fair in
all was a good success.
Afternoon was filled in with judg-
ing of stock,
Obildreit'e races, speed-
ing events, Highland dancing and a
commingling of old friends from all
points of the compass.
Total receipts for Fele, outside of
the concerts, were nearly 3900.00,
which with grants, &c.. leave a tidy
serpins after the heavy prize list and
ordinary working expenses are liqui-
dated. Other particulars of the Fair
and the Prize List may be read on
page 4 of this issue.
THE CONCERTS
Following up the plan of the past
two years Concerts were held each
evening of the Fair in the large rink
and outdid the expectations of the
most sanguine as to attendance, a-
bout 1200 being present Friday night.
The Fax Concert Company, of Tor-
onto, ntade up of Jas, Fax, who is an
old and general favorite here ; Robert
Wilson, who takes no second place in
the role he plays ; Miss Jessie Fax, a
petite grand soprano, with bliss
Bonnick, pianist, presented a pro-
gram of general interest and were
rapturously encored again and again.
Of course there was plenty of humor
but that is not an element of dispar-
agement) in a program and the best nf
ibis it was clean and Wholesome. In
solo, duet, trio, character sketch,
etc., the time was well filled and the
interest was well sustained to the,
closing number on the last night.
The financial proceeds of the Con-
certs were $875.80. The Fax 00. can
come back again and be received by a
full house. This is the best recom-
mend.
Despite the great crowd at the rink
the plan of eserved seats worked out
all right and gentlemanly ushers
proved guides worthy of the name.
The officers were well tired after
the toilsome days of the Fair but
stuck to their work until the whole
proceedings were at an end.
And so the East Heron Fall Fair is
once more a matter of history but
will rauk among the best held by the
Society. Saturday afternoon of this
week the Directors will check over
the Prize List. If mistakes aro there-
in (as there are) a taut and proof to
the Directors would be appreciated.
Friday, October 17113, will be prize
Paying day by Treasurer Blank from
10 a. m. toe p. xn, It will facilitate
his work if prize winners will get
there that day.
