Two fine exhibits of the Photoâ€" grapher‘s art, by Browne. of Durham, and Chapman of Mt. Forest, adorned the hall. Not being in the ‘"‘World" of Eg:emont no prizes were given, The directors feel a great big ‘thank you ‘ to these gentlemen for their interest. Horse, Cattle and Sheep Classes were well represented. Pigs and Poultry not quite so well. Frait and grain is slimmer than usual in quantity. The ladies‘ work shows no falling off in quantity and certainly not in quality. A marked feature being the fresh new clean appearance of everything, not the mauled and fingered look of those Shows where professiona! exhibitors are allowed to empty their barrels on the shelves. In the bush G. Calder‘s exhibit of pulpers, ploughs and other articles had many admirers, E. C. Wood, Mt. Forest, showed some fine carriages and Mr. Livingstone, of Durham, interested farmers for 1898 with his pea harvester attachment, plows, etc. * The prize list we shall give in tull next week. In the Hall the work of the dett tingers of Mrs Wim. Mountain and Miss Maggie Adams again take many prizes. â€" Miss M. Main‘s art work won praise and prizes. _ Exâ€"Reeve Murdock took four 1sts in fruit. T. Orchard got the red ribbon in tub butter, and director Swanston‘s homeâ€" made cheese looked a toothsome article. Tanner & Co. exmbited a large quantity of cloths and yarns, and near it was a modest but pretty flower disâ€" play. The directors have not so far offered prizes for flowers, and we think this ycear‘s success should lead them to do so. Secy. Petrie, affable and obliging, has had a busy day and he and his ass‘stant Mr. W. J. Sharp have our hearty thanks for favors shown in getting the prize list, &e. â€"In the grain class the lack of exhibits was undoubtedly caused by the lateness pf the threshing. Seey, McKenzie inâ€" Popular G. Klempp and his staff has had a busy atternoon, and the special arrangements made to entertain a large crowd were none too ample. The churches too, made _ bountifal provision for the evening meal and are well patronized. ‘The inside work was finecly housed in the splendid new hall erected by the enterprise of Dr. Brown and Messrs Petrie, Calder and G. Klempp. This commodious building, showroom down stairs and large concert hall above is a credit to the yillags and its proâ€" moters. The lapse of a week hbas confirmed everyone that the Show was a success in point of attendance and, except in some of the horse and cattle classes, in quality of exhibits as well. Durham, as usual was well repâ€" resented, We noticed, Messrs Parker. MeKinnon Grant, Sparling, D. Brown, Calder, Livingstone, Mockler, W. Mceâ€" Farlane, A MceArthur and the two editors present. The outside exhibits, stock, &e was held in Petrie‘s bush, with the trees for temples and statuary, the mill pond for x lake, and, bounded on two sides by a railway and a rail tence, the situaâ€" tion was romantic, comfortable, and appropriate. Active and handsome editor Von Blaricom of the ‘"‘Confed." was present accompanied by Mr. Keith an old Egremont boy, now on the Galt Reâ€" tormer staff. _ We were pleased to meet with both In Attendance. Exhibits, Everything The weather was warm and in fine contrast to last year a high wind made travelling â€" disagreeable. Ominous looking clouds and rolling thunder caused some anxiety during the afterâ€" noon, but a mere sprinkle came, doing more good than harm and a satisfied and gratified feeling pervades all. Dr. Mearns and Mr. M. Jackiin from Hanover way heiped to swell the erowd. Mr. Brigham, Allan Park, is one of their standing jadges. _ Mr. and Mrs, G. Binnic, Bunessan, were both Judges in different classes. There were 72 exhibitors and nearly 600 entries. The judges and prize winners will be given in full next week secure a copy of the ReviEw for your friends. Piper Daniel Stewart, of Brussels also gave several "blasts" during the day to the delight of the highland Mr. D. MeNicol, M. P. P., met many friends, and the society‘s coffers, were made richer by $5, an appreciative gift to a worthy body. Today the Directors fi~d themselves with a parse of $130, the largest in their historyâ€" _ This, on a 10c admissicn means over 1300 people on the grounds and the vill..ge at this bour 5.30 p. m.. A full house was secured for the eoncert in the evening, and the proâ€" ceeds must haye been handsome. Our Band was also present and Prof. Peel and his ‘ boys" enlivened. the bush and streets at night with fine music. Holstein, Oct. 5th ‘97.â€"‘World‘s Fair"! Well, if the world had turned out proportionately well at Chicago, as the people of Egremont turned out toâ€" day in this village, the windy city would haye collapsed. The peofle ol Egremont ar«, as we remarked before loval to their show. is a busy happy hive of people prepar ing many of them for home. THE WORLDS FAIR. ECHOES OF S. GREY SHOW. BEATS THE RECORD â€"â€",â€"# @4# The following account of the marriage of Miss Nellie Hunter, was sent to us last week but has so far goue astray. ; The Confederate was more fortunate and we reproduce this from its pages :â€" } On Wednesday evening of last week a goy and representative company from the township of Egremont and Bentinck ) assembled at the home of Mr. William Hunter, concession 20, Egremont, the occasion being the marriage of his eldest daughter, Nellie, to Mr. James Mather, of Bentinek. The bride, a winsome and | popular yourg lady, was becomingly attired in a dress of slate colored cashâ€" mere trimmed with cream lace. Her sister Agnes, who acted as bridesmaid, l was similarly attived, while J. Nichol, of Priceville, did the honors in behaif of i the groom. Rev. Mr. Miller, of Holstein performed the nuptials with becoming ’gr:u-(- and dignity. The evening was spent far into the morning hours in | mirth, songs and recitations, contriâ€" ‘ buted by a large number of those presâ€" | ent. Patriotic songs were sung by the | company with such a yim in "Rule ' Brittainia" and others of a like nature as to arouse the patriotic fire still lurking ’m a large extent in Mr. Mather sr., | Charter Smith and Bob Henry, which is nae‘ sma‘ buik. The past ard present ’ members of the Dromore choir united their voices together as of yore, at inâ€" tervals, and carried the bride and brideâ€" groom, together with the audience, fignuratively speaking, on a "Homeward Bound" trip with a "Skating gleeful, | rapidity over a beautiful riyer to the \land where the lillies bloom so fair." Altogether the whole proceedings, which never lacked in interest were most enjoyable from beginning to end, and closed with "God Save the Queen" and "Auld Lang Syne," by the entire company, demonstrating conclusively, that an enjoyable time can be spent without the inevitable dance, The estiâ€" | mation in which the bride is held is Ifurther attested by the number and | value of the presents as follows :â€"Large | guilt framed looking glass, 7 bed spreads, |2 rocking chairs, centre table and chenille cover to match, 3linen table _ cloths, 2 butter knives, 2 sugar spoons, ‘â€"It is now definitely decided that Sir Oliver Mowat will succeed io the Lieat Govenorship of Ontario. _ This will meet with general approbation from all parties. The province which he so wisely ruled for 24 years could not have a more fittine head. â€"(ien Nexl Daw is dead. This vetâ€" eran prohibitionst was aged 93, and was active until almost the last. His influence in securing legal and moral restraint of the liquor traffic has been more than any man of his time. â€" His good works will be emulated: w sns uce l § Alge â€"ovmmuscsomcs â€"The cares of Empire. Britain is having trouble with France in W. Africe. Russia is reported to be leaguaâ€" ing with Abysinnia to stop her Egyptâ€" ian advance. The Indian tribesmen after being beaten several times will not stay beaten, ‘The Uuited States want to bring in Japan and Russia to discuss the Behring Sea question, and Britain withdraws, And so it goes on. There never was in the worid‘s history such an omnipresent machine as the British Empire. â€"Fires in Manitoba did immense damage to property on Senday and caused the loss of 7 lives, â€"Tarte is on topâ€"in the Grenier libel suit, the latter having been de:â€" clared guilty. . There will now be splutterings of an appeal, the oppositâ€" ition press being particularly vindictâ€" ive against the active minister. We feel drawn to talk of flowers again and would point out the importance to the Society of the floral exhibits of Arâ€" rowsmith, Gorsline, A. McKenzie, Harâ€" vey, Mockler, Woodland, and others, A young exhibitor in various classes is A. W. Hunter. Keep right on Archy. In fow} and fiowers too a rising stan is Nat Harve 7. A few imistakes have ctept into the prize list which are here rectified : In the General Purpose Class Wm. Ritchie takes 1st for Brood Mare, Jas Hillis 2nd. Twoâ€"year old gelding, same class, Picken bros. are 1st and Jas, Sharp 2nd. Heavy farm Horses, Picken Bros. Ist, Jas. Hillis 2nd. In part of our issue in Class 20, S{)ring Chickens, the 2nd prize for Black Minorcas was wrongly credited. 8. Arrowsmith won this prize in which class as well as in Light Krahmas he is working into some fine stock. The directors will then we hope lay their plans broad and wide to nmll:ee 1898 Show away ahead of all past efforts and keep it in the proud position the efforts of its present directorate has won for it of being the hbestâ€" riding Show in these upper counties, A very common opinion is being exâ€" pressed that 8, Grey Society maust take a step forward another year. The loyalty of the whole district to the Show is remarkable and should be enâ€" couraged by providing special attracâ€" tions to Jmtify the homy seeking crowd. Moreover the spirit of healthy locrl rivalry should be enough to till our lists, and an encouragement to this end would be the exclusion of professional exhibitors from outside points. Their presence causes a natural uritation and prevents local exhibits from being placed,. forms us that a large proportion of the entries were not filled owing to this cause, Editarial Note and Comment.
