Thefall show under the auspices of the East Hurpn and Grey Branch Agricultural Societies was held in Brussels on Thursday and Friday last. In common with the other shows this year Brussels was favored with genuine show weather, and as nothing tends so much to the success of a show as favor- able weather, the show this year was the most suonessful in every respect that has. been held for years. The show was good in almost everydepartment, while on Friday there was animmense crowd of people pres- ent and the gate receipts were very satis- factory. The several ` special attractions were a drawing card and were carried out in good shape.The -contest between a numbs of r ladies as to whichcould hitch u tc a horse and get around the track first was the most exciting and amusing event of the day. There were several competitors, and the way in which they displayed their skill in horsemanship would have done credit to the most expert masculine Jehu.
