The hold this event has upon the public Was &.Luca sbrated by the gate receipts of over 8400 despite the unpropitious day and the fast that many {vete afraid of the wet and cold to venture to the grounds. Thursday the palace was well filled in its various departments, consider - and the Judges al consider- ing the season ge-s hada busy afternoon in awarding the premi- ums to the many meritorious exhibits. There was a big falling n8 in fruit, usually'a well filled list and owing to the late harvest and consequently de- layed thrashing the display of grain was'mueh below the average of, other years in %,county. The ladies' depart- ment was larger than ever and over flawed the oustomery place.; A choice lot of baking and dairy products: was on hand although some of the usual exhibitors were ,minus in the -latter. Fine large displays of roots -and vege- tables was made by W. A. Murray, of Egmondville. and Jas. Jackson, Mor- ris, who lead in this department of the Fa - Everyir. preparation had been made for Friday's outdoor display, which is seldom outdone by the best of Fairs, but the role played by Jupiter Mose reduced the number of entries very perceptibly and put the kibosh on the speeding events, children's races and other items of amusement on the pro- gram as the I mile track was ton muddy and the rain and chilly wind proved a deterrent. There were many fine horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry on exhibition but the bad weather shut off the com- ing of many,. Despite the cool atmosphere the Barclay children, of Loudon, gave their National dances in excellent style, which proved a very attractive feature to many an unlooker. Pupils of Brussels Continuation school put on a May Pole fancy drill and the Public school girls did their part in a nicely executed flag drill. Officiary was more than pleased at the patronageaccorded, even if the gate receipts were three or four hun- dred dollar's behind other years on ac- count of the rain and will pay all prizes as, usual supposing part of the money may have have to be borrow- ed. Kincardine well known Pipe Band rendered a splendid program of mlusic during the afternoon. The day's proceedings concluded with a bumper crowd ab the Concert ' en ht the skatingrink. Programrawwas A 1, consisting of the Maple Leaf Quartette, of Galt, who in song and story. proved their ability to entertain, instruct and amuse the large audience that greeted them. The personnel consisted of A. 0. Fleming, basso ; 0. McGregor, baritone, E. 0. Healey, tenor and H. Hezlewood, canto. They will be sure of a hearty welcome on another occaaslon. Iva and Carl Barclay filled the bill to a nicety in their dances and were equally at hone in their vocal selections. The Pipe Band performed their part with good effect. Hon, President Leckie was the Ohairnian. The proceeds of the 0011 - cert was 5850.00.
