Show never flagged, but rather increased
and the area of ground to accommodate
the exhibit/1 had to be inereased. The

1114 Delegates at Convention.
The great union convention oci Tues.
day and Wednesday of last week was an
overwhelming surprise to the most
sanguine advocates of the amuse. A large
gathering was autioipated, but in view of
the feat that no previous oonvention had
ever reached a total of 800, even when
not confined exclusively to delegates, a
liberal estimate made 500 an outside
number to anticipate. The Temperance
Hall, Toronto, which will seat 800, was
seoured and expected to answer the pur.
pose, but before noon on the first day it
WU packed and many more were seeking
admission. The big pavilion of the
Horticultural Gardena was kindly placed

Mayor, and a hasty move made for the
more commodious quarters. Fortunate
it was that a ohange was made for at the
afternoon eessioic the number of repre•
sentatives who presented credentials
reached within a few of a round thong -
and, and there were hundreds of intermit.
ed visitors' without orodentiale. The
total number who peesented credentials
reaobed 1,114, fully four times OR many
persons as ever before attended either a
Provincial or a Dominion prohibition

A particularly pleasing feature of the
oonvention was an address from W. H.
secretary of the League of the
Cron, a Roman Catholio organization.
His remarks were able and eloquent and
he assured the convention that his oo-
religionists fully understood the breadth
of this great movement, and Hint in the
campaign there would be no sectarian
divisions, but a united oo.operation in
the Name of the one God and the one
Christ, aoknowledged by all, whose cause
this was.
The public meetings on Tuesdtty and
Wednesday nights packed the great

EAST HURON FALL FAIR.
Bad Whether but Big Crowd.
It would appear that the Directors of
the East Huron Agrioultural Society are
not in league with old Probs. for as regu-
larly as the annual exhibition (comes
round just so regularly is there a down-
pour of rain.
Thursday the first day of the Fair was
all right and the "Palace" was fairly well
filled, the shortage being in the quantity
of fruits, the manufactures department
and art exhibit. There was a lot of ex.
Gallant grain, roots, vegetables, butter,
cao. and the ladies' side of the house was
never better. After the sun had set the
stare made their appearance and the
members of the Society were ready to
shake hands with themselves over the
prospect of a good day on Friday.
Friday dawned, Mouth; overcoat the
sky and by noon heavy showers of rain
fell which threatened to oontinue all af.
ternoou. Before 10 o'clook all the stable
room at bbe hotels was occupied and des.
pita the unpleasant weather the large
crowds weeded their way to the Aerial'.
tura) Park and the procession did not
stop until 9260,00 had passed into the
treasury for tickets sold. This with
membership fees, &a., will pay all prizes
and leave a small surplus in the hands of
the Society.
There was a splendid exhibit ofihorses,
cattle, eheep, pigs and poultry and great
interest was manifested in the awards of
the judges.
As far as possible the program of the
day, as announcied, was carried out. In
the sawing match Messrs. Harris & Ram-
say, of Grey township, again carried off
the palm, taking two onto off e 16'• inch
maple log in 44 seconds. Messre. Turn.

ed also teking seicond money in 521
8i:intends. It is extromly doubtful if there
are two men in Huron Co. who enn pull
009000 with the 1st prize winners.
The half mile track was in bad shape
for speeding owing to the rain but the
stallion reale was called and was won by
Hollinger Bros. horse, Grey township ;
2nd, P. Scott's horse, Brussels. In the
buggy ruse 3 Soott, Listowel, took let
money and W. J. Dickson, McKillop,
2nd. The 8 minute trot did not fill.
While it was rather disappointing to
the Directors to see the attendance] eborn
owing 10 1115 rain 11 (5 gratifying to know
that the people of the surrounding (mum
try value the Fah so highly that in the
Mae of a sterna linnirede of 1115111 visited
Bruesele, and felt repaid for their visit.
