POULTRY PRICES.—The cold snap
-has Started poultry to move and coma=
derable chickens and ducks have found
-a ready sale. There will be a good de-
mand for some time and tare should be
taken_ by sellers to have their fpwl in a
particularly saleable state. Present
prices are :—Chickens, per 'pair, from
25 to 40 cents ; ducks, from 50 to 80
cents ; geese from 5c. to Oc. per lb.;
turkeys from 6c. to 8c. per lb.
HOUSE or REHITGE JOTTINGIL—A. S.
Chrystal, Goderich Boiler Works,
never turned out a better piece of work
than the boiler supplied to the County
for the House of Refuke. Messrs. Hey-
wood 4 Pryor have set it. The paint-
ers have been steadily at work at the
finishing and as. the steam fitters and
plumbers are getting their fixtures into
, place. the building has put on it finish-
ed appearance and the outside as well
is now becoming shapely, the putting
up of steps and grading the front and
ends having added very much to the
looks of the building. The drains are
ninv, being laid and the concrete floors
of the basement put in. The whole of
the work is expected to be completed
by the fifteenth of October. Theplumb-
Ing flittures are of the very best kind
myethe inmates of the House will en-
joy sanitary comforts which are avail-
able only to a very few in the Minty.
Everything which can contribute to
the health and well being of the inmates
has been done and the County can be
proud of being in the. van in the march
of humanity and civilization. At the
meeting of the Building Committee last
Wednesday they expressed to Archi-
tect Fowler their satisfaction with the
works and the progress which had been
migle with the building.
BICYME FACTORIES. —In almost
every part of the habitable globe bicycles
are manufactured and in the progress-
ive march Canada claims nO unimport-
ant part. The fact has long been re -
recognized that Clinton is one of the
Very best points in the Dominion for
manufacturing purposes, and this is
clearly evidenced from the successful
manufacturers we already have here.
Situate as we are with good railway
connection, shipping is rendered easy—
a very important consideration. The
bicycle has come to stay and there will
be a ready market and sale for the
machine throughout the civilized world
for all time, It strikes Tits NEWS -RE.
CORD very forciblythat a bicyclefactory
could be successfully operated in Clin-
ton. They could he manufactured here
•-just as cheap, and probably cheaper,
thatiin any other locality in the
Dominion. Running expenses, labor,
living, &c,, certainly would not cost as
much as in many places where wheels
are 110W Made. The Perrin block here,
for instance, is practically idle, and
might be turned into a busy, progress-
ive industry for bicycle manufacturing.
The wealth is in Clinton to proceed
with initiatory steps and carry it to a
successful issue. Then we have a
first-class foundry and machine shop
capable of successfully carrying oh
such a business• There is an open-
ing of the first order In Clinton and if
'our moneyed men will but move in the
matter the plum will be theirs. A
joint stook company might easily be
formed and superior bicycles rnanufac-
ttred.in Clinton placed on the market
next spring. We hope some of our
eitiZatla Wilkeurefully surv,ey the situa-
tier. and make a move in the matter.
The prpject should be strongly support-
ed,

The Huron CentraL Fir
IN MANY RESPECTS A SUCCESS—TI'IE
urDAoo
nteas/T0APTTOINFD-INoE.INEWAR
.E VIE
ANI)
The Huron Central Fair was held in
Clinton last Tuesday and Wednesday.
The weather could not have been more
'favorable for it successful show and the
attendance, according to receipts, was
a little better than last year. There
was, however. a falling off in the entries
and many vacancies were noticeable.
In addition to this, the active interest
formerly taken in the show has for
some reason fallen off. In fact the
only displays by business men and
manufacturers noticeable was that of
-Taylor & Spns, W. Doherty & Co., G.
F. Emerson, and W. Moore.
The potted plants and flowers made
a creditable showing, the contest being
confinedpetitors. to a limited number' of corn -
In roots and vegetables the display
was one of the most magnificent ever
seen in this section and the successful
exhibitors as given in the prize list will
(show that competition must have been
keen.
Fruits
Fruits this year are scarce from the
'fact that the spring frosts played
havoc. However, there were some
geed samples, some of them being
blighted. There were no peaches on
exhibition. Grapes, to the surprise of
all, were of superior quality.
In the dairy department there were
six exhibits of crock butter, three of
roll, and a single cheese.
There were 27 competitors in all
grainsand samples were excellent.
There'were also several samples of
grain in sheaf.
In home manufactures a good dis-
play was nuade, while in bread, pastry,
tee., the noble handiwork of exhibitors
was shown to better advantage than
ever before.
The upstairs department presented a
very attractive appearance, but unfor-
tunately there was also a vacancy for
the enquiring eye here. A vacant side
showed. the absence of competitors.
In fine arts, amateur and professional,
the quality has lever been superior,
while in ladies work every display was
worthy minute inspection and invited
the keenest criticism.
The outside show was- not as great
an attraction as on former years.
While the poultry exhibit was really
geod,ea number of coops were unoccu-
pied. In implements there was an
absence of old-time interest or display.
John Leslie had a superior display of
thirteen of his vehicles, while F. Rum -
ball had eleven under canvas. A. Cook
had on exhibition his patent clothes
reel, Armstrong of Goderich his grain
and seed cleaner; Geo. Lavis exhibited
gang plow% single plows, pulpers and
wind mills, and sold two of the latter
to John Jenkins and Wm. Robinson ;
manufacturer James Ferguson also
showed severe) of his pumps.
Light hors attracted more atten-
tion than usual and are coming into
more popular favor from the fact that
they find a better market than the
heavier classes. The exhibit of heavy
horses was not up to former years.
Cattle, sheep and swine attracted
the attention of more interested spec-
tators than all other departments com-
bined, and the exhibits were such that
they commanded special admiratiere
The bicycle races were nothing short
of a farce. It was with extreme diffi-
culty that the entries were made up.
Three starters were in each, with a
handicap, and the result was neither
interesting or satisfactory.
While all will admit the Fair was in
many respects a success, all will concede
that if the Huron Central is to keep up
to the standard and be patronized by
the general public liberally enough to
assure future success, a radical change
must be made. What that change
should be is not for TRE NEWS -RECORD
to outline. A purely agricultural show
is all right for the exclusive patronage
of agriculturists, but we have come to
the honest conclusion that it is all
wrong to merit the patronage of the
younger classes of the community and
even some of our older people. There
must be some legitimate attraction or
amusement outside the regular show.
Many minds have many differences of
opinion, and people who will take the
trouble to make a study of this state-
ment can start at their own fireside
and follow in all business pursuits and
even to affairs of state or religion.
While we have said the receipts are
slightly in advance of last year, it
should be remembered the weather was
not favorable for as large a crowd a
year ago. We are so situated that the
Huron Central should be one of the
most, liberally patronized and success-
ful Fairs in every respect in the county
of Huron, and it devolves upon the
managefteent to turn over a new leaf
and work for a more definite means to
that end.
The prize list will be found on anoth-
er page.
NOTES.
Miss Clara Mountcastle, to the regret
of many, did not make an exhibit in
fine arts this year.
Gardener Joseph Allanson had some
magnificent speettnens, the product of
his superior garden. Some of the
pumpkins and squashes were about all
a man could lift.
The running speed- contests on the
track were fraught with danger, but
fortunately no accident occurred. The
track is too small for speed running.
The band delighted the large crowd
and are to he commended for their
superior music.
The crowd came to town from twelve
to three o'clock and had nearly all
disappeared at five o'clock.
Mr. A. M. Polley, of Goderich, was a
prominent figure around the horse
ring.

Mrs. Gamble left last week on her
return to her home, Calgary.
On Monday all hands were busily
employed preparing the exhibition
buildings and groincls, and the Great
North-Western for 1895 was success-
fully opened yesterday. The number
of entries is very satisfactory, and
the quality of the exhibits most corn -
mendable.
There was a large attendance, a good
progranne, and considerable applause
at the prize distribution meeting at the
Collegiate on Monday evening. The
inaugural for the fall term was the most
successful yet held, though to our mind
if the best half of the Institute "the
girls," had their chances for prices, the
improVement would have been more
notable.
