Zack, the pitcher for Owen Sound, pitched a good game, haying three deliveries, underhand, side and over, but the home boys toward the end of the game comtected with the ball in quick suc- cession did he was relived by Garbut of left field, Winfield taking left in the eighth inning.

SubenOptions'; WINGRAM FALL FAIR A Splendid Success from Every Point of View 'Tile weather was all that could be desired for Wingharn Fair on Monday and Tuesday. The president, Mr. I. 3, Wright, and about•Iifty per cent. of his crew of directors were untiring in their efforts. Much work is necessary each year because ar the erecting of tents and the getting up of tables, etc. We believe that the fair board should consider the erectron of buildings. The exhibits were heavy in horses and cat- tle, but fell very- short in roots, fruit and ladies' work, while poultry and dairy and provisions were about as usual. The gate receipts amounted to about $46.00. The fact that this amount is not more can be accounted for, in more ways than one. The directors are too big hearted and give a free ticket with every me,mbership, which is uncalled for. Between 900 and I 00Q school pu- pils and probably two hundred more workers and their wives, including the ladies of the institute and the. exhibia• tors are on the grounds before :the men go on the gate at 12 o'clock, and easily two hundred more beat their way into the grounds, never thinking that every nickle is needed if the Fair board ever get anywhere nearly out of debt. Another reason for a 'great many farmers staying at home was the fact that the two days' nice weath- er was a great chance for them to get some of their fall work done after the very backward wet weather. A pleasing feature, of this year's fair was the co-operation of the busitiess men of Wingham, when advertise- ments were solicited for the prize list they "came across" admirably and a- gain, in the special prize list they were most generous. The Made -in -Wing - ham tent was a credit to the town and to the manufacturers who exhibited. 'The Western Foundry, Gunn Sonola, Fry & Blackhall, Aero Cushion Tire Co:,' Wingham Salt Works, Lloyd's Doors,. Gurney's and Pringle's Glove Works and ,,the Maitland Creamery, each had a splendid exhibit. The exhibit of an oil burner in a furnace to take the place of coal was the centre of attraction. It was the exhibit of W. C. Lepard who sells it. Hanna & Co. also put on an exhibit and promise to have a bigger one next. year.' The parade of school children head- ed by the Wingham Citizens' Band was splendid, S. S. No. 8, East Wa- wanosh, won the, first prize in the pa- rade. All who eard the Wingham Citizens' Band are loud in their praise of 'this organization and trust they may be able to continue as a band for someyears, years, and the whisper of death will only be another night mare. The Women's Institute ran an ice cream booth on the grounds and serv- ed, hot meals. Like ,the Agricultural Society there areaabout half of this as- sociation who work like slaves while the others are unavoidably detained. The usual amount of games were on hand to lick up the kiddies and the country youths' money, but they found that people are not just as easy as they look and the report is that they all lost money. A couple could not afford to pay untitl after they were forced to. The sooner this trash in invited to stay away from the fair, the better for the fair. The prizes awarded were as follows; 111111111111101111111110111i11111101111 rhe Dr. Irwin ia,Returning The editor of the Advance received a post card from Dr. A. j.
