the Mizpah benediction the meeting

STIFF OPPOSITION
The prediction went around for
years that the big city fairs would
eliminate the country fairs, but this
year the shoe is on the other foot.
The rural fairs in Huron County so
far this year have h'ad the largest at-
tendance •for years, while the city
fairs have dropped. And the Competi-
tion is keen at the oountr} fairs, One
exhibitor at a county fair is grieving
for a prize he did not .get; his garden
firuit was better by far than the com-
petition in appearance and other
qualities which win prizes; but it
lacked in "staying" power, for in
some uncanny manner it disappeared
'frown its place in the building until
after judging was over; then mysteri-
ously re -appeared, but of course,
without any prize.

Big Business Invades Town Bowling.
Mitchell Advocate: For many years
the good old game of bowling on the
green has been recognized as the one
and only perfect game of sport, skill:
and recreation combined.
'The bowling tournament as part of
this recreation was a getting together
of a number of bowlers by invitation
the rinks •being limited to the size of
the green, for one, two or even three
days of real sport and a genuine test.
of skill, An entrance fee was charged
for every rink entering the competi-
tion, and the proceeds used for enter-
tainment and prizes.
Now cones big business and as us-
ual in big business methods, suggests
a bigger entry, if you can't accommo-
date them on your greens, borrow
your nearest neighbors', and remem-
ber a bigger number of entries, means
bigger dividends for your club.
Stratford Bowling Club introduced
tine Big Twilight t into this district and'
secured fifty-seven entries. St. Marys
followed on Friday evening, Sept, 322,,
with an entry of sixty rinks, distribut-
ed as follows: -1St. Marys, greens. 34
rinks; Stratford 30 rinks; Mitchell 1'6
rinks.
The prizes will be delivered from
St. Mary's to the winners by truck or
something.
Where next ? is the question and a
good guess would be Seaforth. They
have room for forty rinks on their
own greens, Clinton can accomm'o-
date eighteen and Mitchell eighteen,
a grand total of seventy-six rinks.
—Conte on Seaforth.
