CLINTON'S BIC FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS. Its Equal Never Seen in the County. The Huron Central Fain ss [doh wee 'announced from time to time came off in Clinton last week. The weather on Tuesday and most of Wednesday was of that glorious kind when the silver habits of the clouds come down upon the Septem- ber sun and with sober gladness autumn takes up its bright inherit- twee•of golden fruits. Tuesday, the Erse day, was taken up chiefly with placing exhibits. Withip the build- ing there was a notable increase over former years in the number of ex- hibits in the fine arts and ladies work, and an equally noticeable im- provement in the quality of the ex- hibits in Ocoee classes. FINE ARTS, . In paintings the various prize takers, for which see another column, as wellas some who were not, both in the professional and amateur lines, gave evidence of considerable both as copyists and eel interpreters 'giving expression to reality. • The overburdened and mereericioes tinsel and tawdry frame work in some cases marred the artistic effects of the work they were intended to enhance the beauties' of. Considering the .space at disposal the art exhibit was very pleasingly arranged and the works if only viewed. from the Refu- ters standpoint revealed many beau- ties. There are a dezen, ways of painting and as many ways of look- ing at it to recognise what temples ideas the artist intended to pourtray, whether in imitative coloring or artististio inclivideality. The quality of the pictures, while in no case of the highest order, wasen general of st high standard of excellence a,nd well merited theencorniums. passed upon them by connoiseurs. From the prize list we learn that the majority of the exhibitors Were ladies, which is a gratifying fact indicating that the mothers and daughters of our land aro soaring aloft in mental reach and culture in a manner whose tenden- cies cermet but augment •the sutra of their own happiness as .well as leave a beneficial impress on unborn gen- erations. In fancy and useful need- lework and knitting •there were many samples of the good taste and industry of our matrons and maidens whose accomplishments would sure- ly "make a home where gods might dwell." There should be even more exhibits and a greater variety in this line another year. BUSINESS DISPLAYS. The special industry of our town, the manufacture of organs, was fully represented by the instruments of the old established Doherty Organ Co. of which their were some dozen styles varying in mechanism, style and musical compass. The more recent firm of Oakes and Co. also made a very creditable display of organs though not in so many styles as the Doherty Co. Mr. S.Davis had a foun- tain in the centre of the building with picturesque surroundings the total make up of which was dimly suggestive of Bocaccio's fairy cress, tions. Moore and Worsell displayed sewing mobil:lee; Taylor and Cruick- shank shoee, W. Cooper and Dr. Worthington stationery and fancy goods. Coats the jeweler had a very nice exhibit. The dry goods trade was well represented by Hodgens, Detlor and J. Robertson. Furniture and upholstery by Reith Bros and J. C. Stevenson. Johnson and Armour's exhibit of harness showed this firm's goods as not lacking in design, workmanship and durability. Mr. tloare's dulcimers and other musical instruments of his own make showed this gentleman as a devotee of the science of producing sounds so modulated as to please the ear. There was an exhibit of scientific and chemical apparatus from the Clinton Collegiate Instituate which was in- teresting to the knowing ones. The busy bee was shown at work by Bales of Varna, II. Walker of Clinton and C. Hoare. in the evening of Tues- day the Doherty Band enlivened the proceedings and the vocopbone band played second fiddle. Probably the most attractive dis- play to the practical mind at this time of year was that of Harland Bros. Their display of stoves, ranges and furnaces was a superb one and as clearly illustrative of the marked advance made in those aids to domestic comfort as is the im- provement of the electric light over the old tallow candle. Not far from the Harland's exhibit was a credita- ble large oil painting,probably 8x5ft., by C. E. Bowers, representing an on• ental scene. The somewhat sombre but natural tints of the luxurious vegetation of the cradle land of civilization could be pictured as glowing with the records of an obsolete civilization as far ahead of ours, possibly, as ours is ahead of the mediaeval ages. And as one st4od between the resurrected em- bers of an Edenio land and age and the h eating apparatus of Harland Bros We might be said to be between two fireee-that Of the resurrected past and the practical present. The hall MO brilliantly lit up with the electric, light. THE BANNER DAY. Every one was on tip toe Wednes- day morning to see the pageantry of prograsa as exhibited in the TRADES PROCESSION. And what a glory did this woad put Ain as our tradesman went forth under the bright and glorious sky of that heautiful September day ; and with all manner of vehicles ad gai- ly caparisoned horses and flaunting banners and streaming legends made up a procession probably two miles heng. Marshalls Copp and Tedford headed this army of practical workers and wealth producers. Then came, in about the order here given, the Doherty Band, the volunteers in uniform .officered by Capt. A. M.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON The school children parade took place led by the Doherty Band, then members of Coll. Inst. and Model School Boards and Mechanics Insti- tute. Besides the children from. the Model School, Mr. Lough, Prine oipal, there were those from Sums, merbill, Mr. G. M. Kilty teacher; Hullett, A. ri. Plummer, teacher; trolmesville, Mr. Murch, teacher; Goderioh, tp., Mr. Lawrence, teacher. A bevy of girls looked very pretty in cream dresses with red relieves. There were probably 1000 in all of the future fathers snd mothers of our country. They passed along the principal street to the show ground where several classes were put • through drill and calisthenics to the great enjoyment of the public. WEDNESDAY EVENING WAS very wet which to some extent marred the carrying out of the Sham Battle between the Clinton Volun- teers and the Gun Club. But the Red Coats showed they were no mere carpet soldiers and the Gun Club were as eager for the fray. When the Red Coats arrived at the grounds 'they found the Gun Club intrenched in a solidly built wooden fort. Un- der the command of Copt Todd and Lieu ts,Combe and Rance;the red,00ats invested the fort The air was thick with watery exhalations ; the ramp- art's were unusually .still, yet a low murmer could be heard from inside the fort and oecasionaly lights could be seen flittering within. The gar-, rison, confident in the skill of Capt. Foster and Lieuts Ryder and Blackall, watched the approach of the red coats, who in two divisions alternately inade assaults. Taking a kneeling position the first division poured a murderous volley of shot into the devoted fort, then, retired and the other division re- peated. The troops in the fort replied. A ttacking, retiring and ade vancing again and replies from the • fort were kept up for some •time, when at last the fort was discovered on fire. This and running short of ammunition shut off all hopes of the brave garrison "holding the fort," and amid deafening shouts, the crash of falling walls and shrieks of crushed soldiers the fort was taken e and, as on the Plains of Abraham, the vic- torious red coats, brave as they are valiant, allowed, the equally brave •defenders to capitulate on terms that saved their honor even in aefeat. The fort was then burned and razed to the ground and will no more liee a standing menace to the adjacent settlers. Tbe Sham Battle was quite re- alistically carried out and all engaged in it deserve much praise for facing both the 'elements and the enemy so heroically, and gratifying the thousands who remained in town to see it in spite of the inclement weather. Tho vividness of the battle was in- tensified by the electric light and the display of fireworks. THURSDAY. Was chiefly devoted to Cattle and Horse exhibits and awarding prizes, the premium list, which we give else- where, speaks more eloquently than we could as to who had the best. There was also a review of carriage horses and lady riders and drivers which kept up the excitement. . The competition in horses was exception- ally keen, the entries being very numerous. There was also a parade of the Doherty Band in the after. noon. Take it all in all the Central Fair at Clinton in 1889 was an unpreced- ented success both in carrying out the aims of the Society and in ob- taining financial support. This is largely due to the excellent manages ment. President Manning is a mar- vel of administrative and executive ability, and energetic; vice president Johnston materially seconded his efforts. Secy-Treas. W. Jackson is the right man iu the right place and is a pusher; assistant W. H. Cooper is a host himself and did much towards bringing the merits of the Fair before the public. Messrs. Blackall, W. Coats, Pay and Plum- mer were a quartette of excellent all round workers. And the business men and citizens generally put their shoulders to the wheel (vide the num- ber of vehicles in the trades proces- sion) and their hands in their pockets with exemplary unanimity, and the result has been that the public has been benefitted and the Huron Oen. tral Fair has emerged into promin- ence which bodes to be permanent. The Fair was a crowded picture : inventions and manufactures; the produce of the bountiful earthr the produce of orchard, flower garden, the dairy, the loom, and deft hands and cultured minds and fertile brains were displayed in generous profusion.
