Centre Falr.
The Second Aanual.Fair Grand
success.

The second annual fair of tho
Brockway Centre Agricultural So
ciety, held on the society's grounds
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week, was a success, and
splendid one, considering the dis
agreeable state of the weather and
the many disadvantages under which
the society have labored. "A year
ago we made mention in the ExPos-
IToR that We would show you the
fair that would take dilapidated lin
en- from off the shrubbery. Has it
not been shown you? 1t has. BY
next fair time there Will be many
more needed improvements made
and we predict many years of sue
cess. Tuesday and up TIL Wednes-
day noon was taken up with the
work of making entries and placing
the exhibits in position. The entries
made amounted to LILO, over three
times the number last year. The
attendance was not very large on
Tuesday but the following two days
about ten or fifteen thousand people
were present.
The exhibition gave entire satis-
faction; in fact, we heard numerous
ordinations of surprise at tho sue
cess attained.
