11!) EVENTS.
Deepite the rush of harvest upwards of
1,000 people assembled on Viotoria
Park, Brussels, on Wednesday to witness
the series of games and sports as out-
lined on the program for the day. Some
little inconvenience was ocoaoloued to the
Committee by the "Union" baseball
team and the Gerrie football club flunk-
ing after they had agreed to some and
were advertised ae one of the attractions
but we managed tip-top without them.
It was rather a "rusty" way to treat
Brussels though taking into amount the
turn out our town made to their celebra-
tion on Dominion Day.
first on the program came a much
talked of match between Wingham and
Cranbrook for a $25,00 purse. It was.a
stubbornly contested game throughout
and although Oranbrook was assisted by
players from Listowel, Seaforth and
Blyth their opponents put up a strong
defence and occasionally stirred up
Oraubrook's goal keeper. An hour and a
half went by without a goal but in the
extra half hour Cranbrook made such an
onelaugbt their opponents had to bite the
duet and the Referee said 1 to 0 in favor
of the "Piot" boys. The teams lined up
as follows :—

After an adjournment for dinner the
afternoon's sport was set in motion by a
baseball contest between Lietowol and
Wingbam. It looked at one time as if
the club from the East was going to
walk off with the Winghamites but in
the 6th and 7th innings the latter got
on to the pitcher end hammered out 9
runs whioh greatly improved their score.
The game was rather "ragged," the sou
interfering considerably with the fielders.
Listowel played Grower, of Brussels, the
Kaake Bros„ of Wroxeter, and "Brown"
the pitcher. Ab. Kaake had his batting
clothes on and is credited with 5 runs. 2
of them home runs, and no outs. The
appended score will furnish other parbi-

Quite an exciting fuss was kicked up
over the wheelbarrow rase on account of
statement that ono barrow had not gone

disputa than by the fists.
An exhibition game of baseball was to
have been played between Brussels and
Listowel but time did not permit.
Some of the Winghano sports should
ponder over the injunction : "S}year not

The foot races were very amusing.
Brussels never takes second place for

The camp stools provided for the

The Indian Exhibit at the

India's building at Jackson park is un-
pretentious, but in perfect taste. It
represents a native mansion of the better
class' and stands just north of the Fish.
arias building. Over the door within the
gilded portal is the single word 'India."
The interior is literally packed with
interesting things, many of them rarities
that have never before been Been outside
the land of their manufacture, and all of
them so displayed as to present an
artistic and pleasing general effect.
The ceiling is covered with handsome
carpets of elaborate designs, all of them
hand made, and there is an astonishing
variety of other fabrics, including costly
cashmere shawls, silk embroidorise !from
the Punjab, and the famous Rampoor
ring shawls, whioh are so fine and soft
that one 2 yards wide can be drawn
through an ordinary finger ring. The
wax printed cloths have never been seen
in this country before. They are made
by applying melted wax to the cloth with
a etiok in free hand designs, and before
the wax is dry powdered mica is sifted
over it.
The display of metal work is extremely
beautiful and decidedly unique. Vases
lamps, toilet seta, smoking sets, toys,
bowls and other articles made for every-
day use are pretty enough to be put in
cabinets as objeote of art. Hammered
braes and Dopper abound, but the incrust-
ed ware from Tanjore is as fine as any-
thing in the displeny. The metal is a
blank olloy of copper, lead and tin, and
the articles are shitped with a lathe.
The design, generally mythological, is
engraved upon it and inlaid with silver,
and the effect is remarkably ricb,
Rare marbles and other stones are here
too. An elaborately carved shrine of col-
ored marble in the central court is one of
the first things to attract attention. A
miniature reprodnotion in alabaster of
the famous Taj Mahal is exquisitely
carved, and there are copies of others,.
less famous perhaps, bob very beautiful.
Lapis lazuli, jasper and oarnelian are
inlaidon the marble tables, trays, boxes
and plaques to be seen in the gallery, and
there are gods galore. Buddha is gen-
erally in the stereotyped, cross legged
attitude supposed to represent contenu-
plation, and Kelehna seatedon the en-
twined bodies of his milkmaids. The
legend relates that those maids became
enamored of Krishna when he visited
earth ae a oowherd and insisted on
transforming themselves into a beast of
burden for him.
Krishna seems to be a general favorite,
and incidents of his career are illustrated
do many of the vases, bowls and plaques
so lavishly strewn around. Ganseha, the
god of prudence, is a olose eeoond in
popularity. He is shown with the head
of an olepbaut and always accompanied
by a rat. Sometimes he is riding the
rodent, and sometimes it is crouching at
his feet, but it is always around some.

hold is complete without its effigy of

Ganssba" is the set phrase with which
all books begin, and he is invoked at the
oommeneement of every enterprise.
There is a complete collection of the
arms and armor of every nation in India
—targets, babbleaxes, swords and knives—
and in one oorner is an antique breech -
loading cannon from Hyderabad, said to
be 400 years old. If its ago is correctly
given, India, antedates Europe three or
four centuries in the chief weapon of
modern warfare, though the specimen on
exhibition would not make much of a
showing in the Krupp exhibit, Neither
cvould the anxious old matoblock 15 feet
long and said to bo over 200 years old,
but it may serve to show that India is
not so far behind in the prooesoion of
progress as many people suppose.
This idea will hardly be te•enforoed by
a glance up at the hideous fakirs is the
allery corners whioh aro so wonderfully
lifelike as 00 cause a sensitive person to
'header. They are made of papier
macho, but it ie hard to believe they do
not breath and roll those glees eyes. In
India the fakir is an ascots, mendicant
who perform some peculiar sot of
worship that has the virtue of eel!
saorifloe if no other. • Many of them sit
to cramped positions until their joints
become so acebylosod as to be absolutely
incapable of motion. 0.11e of those
represents a men sitting in the attitude'
of the Buddha statues, arose legged and
0ohtempintive, and it is not diidoult to
imagine what suggested the idea, though
this chap had his hands strapped to
support that brought them about on a
level with his shoulders and made a
convenient resting place for his ohin.
A modes of the Kali temple in Calcutta
shows the priests and attendants in the
aot of saorltloing an ox. The scene has
been worked out with great attention to
details. Kali, or Doorga, is the goddees
of destruction and darkness. She was a
consort of Siva and is represented with
10 arms.

An incident 000urred in W ;anon the
other day of a very peculiar nature, says
the News. Donald McLeod recently

frozen. The thermometer in the freezer
18 alwaye 20 degrees belowzero, and
Donald negleoted to put on a pair of
mute, whioh are especially provided for
the men. He was only in the freezer
some three minutes, but when he came
out he soon realized that all the fingers
on both hands were frozen stiff. The
Budden transition from 20 degrees below
zero to 95 degrees above was a painful
experience. His sufferings for some
days were intense and he bas been laid

The weather during the past week has
been favorable for maturing wheat,
whioh is ripening sorapidly that it will
be ready to harvest next week upon most
of the fields in Minnesota and North
Dakota. Taking the average of all the
reports there will certainly be over three-
fourths of an average crop of average
superior quality of wheat, whioh is a
larger yield tbad appeared possible a

last year.
The great international exposition was
that held at London, in the Crystal
Palace, 1851. The next similar under-
taking was the "exhibition of industry
of all nations." held at New York in 1858.
This was held in Crystal Palace, whioh
was afterwards destroyed by fire. A
similar exhibition was also held in
the Crystal Palace, in Dublin in the
same year. In 1854 an exhibition was
bald in Munich, whioh was at first very
suooessful, but cholera appeared and
caused such a fright that the enterprise
was abandoned. The first great Paris in-
ternational exposition was held in Lon.
don in 1862. Next in order were those
held at Constantinople in 1863 ; Bayon-
ne, 1864 ; Dublin, 1885; Cologne, Oporto
and Stockholm in 1805 ; Melbourne,

The only golden eagle ever seen fu this
pert of the country is captive at the resi-
dence of Joseph Maynes, at 2,016 Walnut
street in Toledo. Wednesday morning
Mr. Baynes and Peter Bargain went
fishing in the marshes along Ottawa
river. Maynes got after a monster frog
in the edge of the marsh, along a bluff
whioh is densely wooded. He was abonb
to get his frog when a monstrous eagle
swooped down upon him. It seized him
between the shoulder blades, its talons
piercing through his overcoat and under-
coat, and cutting into the flesh. The
bird beat its wings and lifted Maynes
from his feet. Maynes weighs 151 pounds
and is 2$ genre old. He says be was ter-
ribly frightened, and more so when the
bird lifted him from bis feet a second
time. While attempting the third time
to get Maynes into the air Ile struck the
eagle on the head with his frog spear.
He then got one arm around
the birds nook and pounded it
on the head with his olub. He
got the bird to the bank and lay across it
while Bargain kicked it into insensibil-
ity. A rope was then procured and the
bird was tied to a tree. The eagle was
taken to Toledo and wee seen by news-
paper men. It measures seven feet six
inches aoroes the wings, weighs 85
pounds, and stands three feet two inches
high. It is evidently young, there being
many pin feathers around the neck and
on the breast. Old citizens who have
lived in the West say that the bird is a
young mountain eagle of the golden
variety. The plumage is of a dark rus-
set color, almost seal brown. The eagle
has a monstrous head, with a beak four
and a half inches long. Its mouth,
when stretched wide open, is five inches'
across. It swallowed fifteen sparrows
for supper, taking each one down whole.
The proposal of Wm. Seymour, late of
257e Yonge street, Toronto, phrenologist
and mind reader, to have himself buried
alive at Ohioago for three months, is
arousing no small interest in scientific
and quasi.saientifio circles, while the
general publio, aooustomed to the rela-
tion of similar feats in notion or the
somewhab apocryphal stories told of the
exploits of East Indian jugglers, looks on
with only a passing wonder at the man's
folly. air. Seymour is now in Chicago
with his son, and is making preparations
for his great experiment. He has no
reoord in vivisepulohretion, his publio
performanoes having hitherto been °on -
fined to the conventional trioke of mind
reading, easily n000uuted for by psyobolo•
gists on the basis of the action of the
subjeotive intelligence. His proposed
rest of his supposed power to suspend his
vital powers for an indefinite period will
consist in his interment after the alleged
=tuner of the East Indieus, who say
they can suspend animation for any
period by swallowing their tongues and
controlling the heart and mind by some
effort of the will. The ooflu whioh will
be used hots been made et Symons and
