One of the Best on Record
East Huron Fall Fair a Sweeping Success
Fina Weather, Splendid
Exhibits and Great Crowd
East Huron Fall Fair has come and
gone for another year and the record
19 moat satisfactory to the Board of
Directors and should be to the large
class of exhibitors and the public
generally. Charming weather favor-
ed the Exhibition and added very
materially to the success. The
calendar said it was October 1.4t 2 but
Old Probe. could easily have passed
off either Thursday or Friday for the
"good old Summer time."
A first-class exhibit was made in the
interior department and almost every
class was well represented, so that no
easy job fell to the lot of the Judges
making the awards, As usual' the
Ladies' department was filled to over-
flowing with a meritorious display
while Fine Arts ware not wanting.
Downstairs Fruit, Roots and Vege-
tables, Domestic manufactories,
Dairy Products and Flowers and
Plants were there in rich profusion
and of a quality that even those who
were not fortunate to get the prize
tickets had nothing to be ashamed of.
Seldom is a better display made at
a local Fair and visitors who had at-
tended various Exhibitions of this
kind said "Brussels takes the palm."
Many commendable words were
spoken by the hundreds of visitors on
Friday,
The outside exhibit in live stock
was excellent. This Fair is well
known for the excellency of its horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. In
some classes the competitors were not
very numerous but in others there
was a lively scramble for honors,
Robb Bros., of Elma, made a hit with
their heavy horses. In h'tggy horses
for instance their were a dozen entries
and a lot of fine equines and it was no
easy matter to say where the reel,
blue and white awards should go. Six
competitors entered for the Standard
Bank roadster horse prizes.
In Short Horn cattle James Speir
and A. Hislop carried off the majority
of the ribbons and showed many
prime animals. Among others who
are destined to come to the front aro
Jno. Overate Andrew Lamont, Walter
Br•oadfoot, Yuill Bros., and J. M.
Knight. There was a dandy bunch
of grades. R. J. Sanderson, of
Howick, A. J. Bishop, of Grey, and
W. R. Broadfoot, of Morris, had the
Leicester sheep pens all to themselves
while in hogs J. S. Cowan, of Elma,
swept the Berkshire hog list ; A.
Stevenson and R. Nichol took all in
sight in Yorke., and W. F. Grieve, of
MoKillop, cleaned up the Tamworths.
Poultry attracted considerable ate
tention and the distribution of prizes
was wide as may be seen by the Prize
List on page 4. Taken altogether the
show of live stock was excellent and
the judgment of the Judges was ap-
proved or criticised according to the
fancy of the spectator.
Vice President Dames' offer of
$10.00 to boys under 16 years of age in
a cattle judging contest evoked con-
siderable interest. The competitors
used a ecore card and the seven
prizes went as follows :— M. Miller,
A. Fox, 0. Hemingway, A. Currie,
W. Miller, W. Burgess and H.
Currie. This is certainly a practical
way of encouraging the youth.
In the line of sport a full program
was carried out. With three speed-
ing events, 4 footraces, a potato race
and a 2 mile bicycle event Friday
afternoon was filled and the contests
were lively and often close.
A pleasing feature of the Fair was
the Violet Drill put on by the pupils
of Leadbury school under the capable
management of Miss K. E. Brown,
the esteemed teacher. There were 16
in the drill and well merited applause
was given at the close. Clinton
Kittle Band arrived on Friday about
10.30 and during the day performed
their part in first-class style, lead by
Bandmaster Dickson. They play
well, conduct themselves gentlemanly
and will be welcome back.
There were Concerts in the large
rink both evenings of the Fair, Fri-
day night the attendance being large.
The London Concert Co. put on the
program but were not up to the ex-
pectations of the Directorate in com-
parison with the Concert talent
usually secured. The Fair was a
splendid success throughout and will
put the management in a position to
not only pay the heavy prize list but
leave a margin toward the Fair of
1915. Hearty support was given by
Bfussele people, as usual, and it is a
pleasure to know that success was
written large on the Fair,
Fair Notes and the Prize List may
be read on page 4 of this issue. If
there are errors or corrections neces-
sary those interested should report to
the Directorate before their meeting
Saturday afternoon of this week.
Quite an improvement is being
made in the front of Wm. Wilkinson's
farm, 4th line, by the burning off of
stump piles preparatory to cultivating
the d.
e sorry Wefielarto learn that Joe,
only son of John and Mrs. Clegg, 5th
line, has been seriously ill with
pneumonia, taking sick last Friday.
